Its been awhile since I have last updated, my bad. So what has happened in this couple of weeks....
Lets begin with the highlights, perhaps.
I have interviewed strangers and turned out better than I thought, no awkwardness and I think I should be thankful that they were so friendly and helpful *tears I also cannot deny the fact that I think my socialising skill is up perhaps a little lololololol dont you roll your eyes at me. I mean, looking back at my previous posts, I can tell, I dont need to tell, I know it in my blood that I was not happy with having to do it, like Im dragging every bit of it. But... oh well, things turned out not as bad as I thought, now you cant say that I did not try.
Second, my confidence in socialising also perhaps benefited in some ways that I have decided to try jump on the wagon and meet more strangers. I have got only limited messages I can send on one of these platforms, and I have used 3 of it for a bigger cause, haha you can say that. Well, I was thinking to host someone, but lets try small steps first, I will meet strangers and see how it goes. After all, I did take the advice of some people.
Now the “ lowlights”,
Sending out messages to potential participants .. took longer than I thought, partly I think because I have a limit of social needs per week. So, I know that I have to, when they reply then I have to talk bla bla bla... but at times I just dont feel like socializing... or even talking. Thats the point where I know I have enough social dosage of the week. So, lets say if a potential participant replies, I tend to reply in the morning or noon because after 7pm I considered that as “me” time, if that makes sense to you. So I tend to reply first thing in the morning or noon because im in the “working” mindset and environment of course.
Although I have met awesome people and grateful for them being helpful, obviously I will also meet not so nice people haha. Thats bound to happen but surprisingly I wasn’t so affected by it usually I would have ponder that in my bed and in my dreams haha. One potential participant reacted the “thumbs down” at my message, and perhaps a couple may have marked me as spam or reported me. I am not so bothered because looking at the percentages that did reply and show support, the positive outweighed the negative, and I am obviously moving forward not swimming in the puddle lol.
I will end this post with Ivory Joe Hunter, I got to learn to do the mambo.
Cheers
