It's always good when you think of something funny or cute to say, but a smile goes a long way. The point is not doing anything isn't much better than introducing yourself and looking silly
yeah... for the most part I think looking silly is always better. But I just wish I could do it without going into panic attack mode.
The solution is breaking the rigid structure with feedback, jokes, pauses, an occasional argument, etc.
Yes, unfortunately another thing I'm really bad at. If a conversation doesn't have a rigid structure or purpose I just don't know how to go about it.
The best I can do is put myself in a spontaneous mood: a refreshing shower, playing soccer, listening to swing (which makes me imitate a groovin dancer) are the best ways to do that for me
I have noticed that physical activity like sports or running helps me be more outgoing.
