i started college in september and have been keeping to myself alot. one of my lessons is food prep which i find most enjoyable and im more relaxed but when it comes to the others in my class i can usually talk to them if they talk to me first but otherwise i cant even bring myself to say there names!! i dont understand why but it feels so wrong.... any suggestions on how to overcome this?
Before college:
i left school middle of year 9 and sat in my room for over a year with no communication with anyone but my mum and occaisonly dad. lived between mum's and sister's flat about a year, never found it difficult mixing with my sisters friends or her new boy friend. now live with a mate in a house which causes me alot of stress and paranoia due to the father and family problems here.
thanks.

sounds like you are a shy person. it isn't that you can't talk to others, it is that you wait for others to make the first move, so as to not be pushy or nosy or intrusive. you wait for an invitation. one thing you might try is wearing something unique that passively makes the first move. an example is a kid in st. louis started wearing a name tag. he called it his front porch. it invited people to talk to him. and talk they did. he eventually started a website and had thousands of people visit, comment, question, respond. just a simple paper name tag, like the ones they use at conferences and seminars so everyone knows your first name. but maybe instead of a name tag, you might try an expressive t-shirt or a medallion promoting something...let your imagination run...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
