People who feel lonely eventually become resentful and self-centered; the smallest social interactions gain major significance and are often perceived as hostile. There's a fundamental truth: You're obsessing over self-imposed issues. http://goo.gl/Doyja http://goo.gl/Doyja Share your professional/personal experiences to the world. Join communities, attend conventions and get socially involved. Once you start looking for it, you won't believe how many opportunities are waiting for you every day. Be PROUD about yourself and CURIOUS about others as well. Think about this: by not sharing yourself, you're making a disservice to anyone near who happens to feel the same as you. Everyone is just as "awkward" as you when it comes down to human connections. People deeply appreciate when you take the burden of breaking the ice; it's the first sign of being CARING – a core quality of any friend! Being POSITIVE is an attitude, not a mood. You can be sad, and yet still show the confidence to overcome adversitites. Being positive is not only about self-confidence, but about INSPIRING confidence to others. Again: share yourself! Lastly, don't let failure get into you; don't expect everyone to become your friend, or you might fall again into the self-centered spiral. I had been through that too.
