So I have the hardest time meeting people because I am pretty socially awkward. I've tried meeting people doing things I like but I tense up no matter who I meet. I wish I could fast forward through the introduction and skip to the part where I can be myself.

Does anyone have advice on meeting people.

Yeah I know. But I just need to get past the nervousness and the awkwardness of trying to meet someone new, unfortunately that's easier said than done.

well
just act like you are not trying to impress them
or like you all ready know them , but sometimes that turns out going wrong

I can see the trying not to impress would work in my favor, but how would pretending I know them work?

I hope I'm not bugging you, and thanks for responding:smile:

Have you ever asked yourself why do you get tensed meeting new people? Are you not confident of yourself? What is it that you are nervous about?

I'm just worried about being judged and saying something stupid.

We all go through that awkward stage early on.....
but if it feels right both of you will discover that your inner selves will emerge quite quickly.....

Go in to meeting them thinking friendship where you can chat freely the same as you would with a coworker, until you meet them you don't really know if it will move any further forward. If you have met online you will know something about them already, so as an icebreaker, you could begin by talking about something where you have a mutual interest, and move on from there.
