I am way too shy and have no social skills. Today, I was walking to the stairs after just getting out of class. I hear someone saying "Kristina" behind me, I thought that cannot be me, not too many people know my first name, and then Kristina just seems wierd to me, but I look and it was one of my classmates. He says "bye" and I get nervous and say "hi, how are you?" haha... that is just stupid. And by that time he was on the elevator, I was at the stairs, and that was all that was said. Another example, a few days ago, someone who was in my class last years sees me as I am going to my class, he says "Did you get new glasses? They look nice." Me, I say "Yes, Thanks." And he asks me about my classes now and all I can think about is I have to get to class! So I answer his questions and go to class. I should have asked him questions and started a conversation, I need to start doing this if I am going to make any friends. Somehow, I have to not get nervous and be more social. I don't know exactly how to do this, but... that is so stupid.
