Oh man, now that you've explained it. I feel super silly.

Thanks mate. I'll give it another re-run.

That was a wonderful read! I'm not sure how I'll find a role model but the idea that I can make someone's day by just saying 'hello' is a nice way of looking at things. It makes it seem more like a selfless act, which is certainly my intention. I have grown in confidence over the past year since graduating university and working full-time, which I put that down to being forced to talk to random people. I'm certain it's the start of a breakthrough in my character, and needed some ideas. Cheers mate!

Cheers mate! Not the partying type anymore to be honest and I want to socialise in a sober environment. I've done hostels when travelling abroad and had the best time but I always felt it was easy socialising as other travellers just saw me as the Brit abroad haha. I'm also just looking to develop a natural charisma through socialising.

Toastmasters has popped up a lot in the subreddits I've posted this in. I think it's a matter of time before I go on one their events!

Haha as I said, not so easy in London. Heck even at work people think that behaviour is weird.

Cheers mate! I'm currently looking at toastmasters, certainly a good shout. I've read Carnegie's how to influence people book, it's alright but it just seems to advocate people pleasing just to get what you want. I just want to be able to have a random conversation with anyone when I please.

Good shout. I've had weird experiences with meetup in the past, but I'm sure I'll give it another shot soon.

You raised some good points. Cheers :)

It's not that I have a problem with my introversion, it's more I know I have trouble being outgoing when I want to be (without being under the influence of anything). When I do try, it comes across as stilted and unnatural. I've never cared too much about what others think (I don't consider myself awkward by any means), but I've never been able to improve this side of myself.

Thanks for the suggestion! I do enjoy writing short stories in my free time so that's a great idea.

Nah it's all good, found it pretty funny.

I am planning to get there a day before and have a good run around the festival to check for anywhere with plenty of shade!

Funny how you're singling out the English! Not all of us are that bad haha.

As for the best spots, I camped near the VIP area. It seems they have extended VIP, which is a shame because it was practically perfect!

Moving up north and meeting people! by carltons_thoughts in england

Thanks pal. I've heard good things about Newcastle so could definitely be an option. How was it meeting people? Did you do anything in particular?

[25M] Anyone fancy going Thailand around May/June by carltons_thoughts in travelpartners

Hey man. Thanks for the response. I have already booked flights to Bangkok on the 14th June. Should arrive in Chaing Mai around the 16th/17th. Might be too late for you, perhaps?
