Step 4. Keep smiling and converse.
Backstory
Last step of my self help steps to be less isolated. I have to remember these when I'm out and about and four things is pretty much all I can remember! Today went really well and I actually felt friendlier. It's working best on children and dogs so far.Step 3 was posted in error in the Life section. Or maybe not error. Life, love - both puzzles to be figured out!

Often after I meet someone, I don't know much what to say past hello. Asking questions seems too personal to me. Yet how else do I get to know someone? The Question section here at Smith has been eye opening for me! Simple, interesting questions that garner lots of comments. I can try some of those!DynamicDbytheC says,
Funny, I am the opposite, I almost talk to everyone. Small-town girl still resides in spider of me. People practically hand me their babies.DynamicDbytheC says,
I meant resides inside of me. iPad running the show here...Dean6805 says,
I'm the "never met a stranger" type of chap, but I have friends who live a more internal existence. I think your 4 Steps are wonderful, and wish you all the best!Dragonflower says,
Ddbythesea, I can tell you are friendly type by your picture at Over the Hill lane. I would talk to you! My new kindle was creating the strangest sentences for me until I discovered how to turn off auto correct!Thank you both for your comments. So helpful. Living a more internal life is a good way to describe me. There is a "Come as you are" zen meeting here on Saturdays which is more dharma talk than meditation. I've been wanting to go but never do. Maybe I should think more about going to places where there are other internal landscape people. Help me to find my balance (quiet but friendly, nice person).
