this is gonna feel like a reddit post, but here i go:
i'm a *very* introverted teen who relates to Bocchi (from Bocchi the Rock) a bunch.
I'm trying to change and be more sociable to ppl, and be good at starting and holding conversations.
i also often have a hard time showing my emotions (properly)- and ive noted fairly recently that my resting face looks angry TvT
i'm starting to realize now that not everyone is actively trying to be/going to be as mean to me as i thought before, so thats good.
and i'm also trying to make more irl friends! its kinda hard because the ppl at my school are...questionable..but yeah! i've made some friends, but that was because one of them walked up to me and introduced me to their friends- soo yeah.
im also TERRIBLE at reading social cues, but i'm getting better. (Ex: i'm understanding some jokes ppl make and laughing at them (cuz they're funny!))
i'm starting small by giving people compliments everyday, whether that be telling them their shirt looks nice, or complimenting their hair.
any tips?
tl;dr: A Bocchi kinnie tries to be a more sociable person- not like Ikuyo Kita levels of sociableness, but still.
thanks for reading ^^ and here's a cookie! :3 🍪
-an enby teen :p

YO, being confident in yourself in social situations really just stems from making yourself talk to people a little more often, this might not be the best example for everyone, but for me, it totally fuckin' works! me and my assassin gang sometimes hit up each other on calls to play fortnite, rant, or just be together when we're far away, and even though that interaction isn't as close as being in person, its something that gets you used to being active and talking to people! remember, it aint for everyone, you gotta test shit out, sometimes it could blow up right in your face! do what makes you feel comfortable, Kid. *****
> [thanks a bunch for the advice, Pico! i'll definitely try this :] /gen]

find spaces where you're more likely to have similar interests as a person. in a club, extracurricular, or a class. you're both likely there because you enjoy said activities, so you already have something in common. Other than that, just put yourself out there. think that person looks cool? talk to them! not everybody will be your friend, but its so worth trying, and eventually, you'll just... know people. like, oh, yeah, i introduced myself to that person already, so maybe it's not so bad to talk to them again.
> [tysm, i'll try to use this advice when school resumes for me too :3]
[and yeah, i always try to look for ppl that look cool or have similar interests as me- i have seen some ppl, i just..have never talked to them/approached them ;-;]
[i'll try my best to this year tho! again, tysm :3]

from my own knowledge, shared experience is the way 2 go
if ur in the same school as sum1 thats more than enough 2 build off of! eg: school schedule ➡️ being busy ➡️ after school activities ➡️ etc. but most of all, try to have fun while socializing and crack jokes where u can :)
thank you so much, this is pretty useful! :] /gen
