For you it’s easy. They’re your friends. You’ll make plenty of friends too bro. Maybe you’ll even get a girl tonight. I don’t know. Don’t stress it. You got me. What’s up Mike? Long time no see. Hey Josh, what’s good? Who’s this? Hi, I’m wojak. Nice, I’m Josh. Look who we’ve got here. Mike the psych. What’s up T J. It’s been a while. Yeah bro, You’ve been going to the gym I see.

I gotta go, see you around. Time to drink away my insecurities. I wish I was at home making reddit memes. They don’t know I have over 10.000 followers on my subreddit. My feet hurt. Alright Wojak.

I know it might look impossible at first, but you can actually have a great time and meet new people. How? Everybody is busy with one another. Parties are very dynamic and people leave and join conversations continuously. Try to get involved in a conversation with people you find interesting. But what should I talk about? They all talk about stuff I don’t know anything about. It can be anything, for example you know a little bit about lifting and crypto. These are standard topics to get a conversation going. Let your friend introduce you to people and ask them about anything. People love talking about themselves so start with asking questions and then build a conversation from there. Just give it a try. Not everyone is blocked. There are always people who are open to talk. Alright I’ll give it a try. Dammit, I drank too much.
