Your local social experiment

I tbh dont know if this counts as a social experiment or a personal one but just go with it.

Introvert to Extrovert

So I decided I was tired of being lonely and feeling left out so I wanted to do a little experiment. I want to see if i can, slowly but surely over the course of this school year become the type of person who is surrounded by people, not necessarily popular but just noticed. 

At the moment no one really pays attention to me except to say my outfit is cute (that’s pretty much what I am known for). I want to change that. I realized today after feeling awfully alone and ignored that I am tired of depending on other to dig me out of my pit of loneliness. So over the course of the next year i will be making friends. People I can go out and do stuff with, not the ones that just ignore me outside of school. 

I want to start out slow, just talking to a new person every day even if its just a compliment. Well, I guess it doesn’t have to be a new person everyday, just someone I don’t know very well. I am slowly going to become closer and closer to them, and I will continue to do this until I don’t feel alone anymore, or until the end of the year. Whichever comes first. I will be documenting my progress on here so that I can see how far I’ve come, and so I can share my journey with others and hopefully inspire a little bit of change. (I am not saying that if you are shy you should change, but I know some are scared to, like I am, and I want to show them they aren’t alone.)

So I hope you stay for my journey :)

Day 2: Kinda Rude but Progress is Progress

So I talked to this guy that was sitting beside me, I think I came off as kinda rude when I asked who he was (he wasn’t there before) cause he looked at me like I was stupid (I’m not stupid. [sorry Hamilton reference]) then told me his name. And that was that until my friend got there and we talked around him till he left. ( not because of us but cause he had to leave the class room) I know I don’t wanna go for rude but saying what I think is hard so it kinda gets muddy in my tone of voice..

Anyways me and one of my good friends just became best friends because our previous best friends were treating us badly and always putting us last. So today was a good day.

Day 1: The first of many

So today I complimented a girl on drum line (I am in colorguard which is the people with flags in the band.). I told her that her shoes were cute. I think my first step in this process should be small, so here we are. Very very small step in the right direction. Saying the things I want to say is hard for me because I overthink a lot. But I am trying my best and I hope to improve over the course of this experiment.
