The things you want to say no to, dress up, be there.
Dont force yourself to small talks or to mingle.
Just be there, find a familiar face, say hi.
That's it.
When you say no, people won't think that you're shy, they'll think you're not interested.
So when schedule permits it, be there.
At the parties, the student clubs, the hangouts.

Even if it doesn’t sound like the most exciting plan ever! I think it’s so easy to get stuck in hermit mode if you enjoy your own company. Also it’s nice to be invited to things and the more you say yes the more people will think of you when they’re looking for someone to invite

Instead of making up an excuse, coming up with fake alternative plans, or flaking last minute, I force myself to say YES to every social invitation I receive. I have to go and make one new friend (if applicable). I only say no when I have another prior commitment, but I always say YES when I have “tentative“ plans with myself. It gets me out of the house, making new connections, and learning new things!

If someone asks you to do something or go somewhere you should probably say yes. Yes is almost always the right answer because you might make a new friend and if it’s bad you can always leave.

Nothing is as powerful than just sitting down and doing it. I have been plagued by my perfectionism. even my mood has to be in the correct zone before starting something but that makes me not do anything. if you want to write, pick up a pen and a notebook. dont overthink. jut write anything that pops into your mind. sames goes with starting anything.

I haven't been in a relationship my whole life, only ever dated, thinking about dedicating a part of my life to other people seems like such a task and a burden.
