} how to win friends and influence people?

this post is not going to explain how to do that, because clearly, i don't really have a clue about it. i've spent far too long in my comfort zone and i think i no longer know how to make friends. :x i always run out of things to talk about, and ironically, i think the fear of running out of things to talk about SHOWS and i end up running for a drink/the toilet/other distraction. i also keep being haunted by my recent (well, a few months ago) discovery that i don't open up very much. sadly i am quite uninterested in my own life and i would rather talk about something interesting........

therefore, must make a conscious effort to:
- widen general knowledge to find things to talk about, ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE OF LAW
- reveal my opinions more
- do more interesting things that i can talk about
- START CONVERSATIONS

as elizabeth bennett said to fitzwilliam darcy, talking to people is surely a matter of practice and though i will undoubtedly find people who will be bored to death or weirded out, it is hoped that i will discover some kindred spirits too.
