in my local city.
First, how…exactly how do I make a good first impression of myself through conversation?
I tend to develop a case of communication anxiety, which causes me not to think clearly…and then before you know it I’m talking “simple” or my conversations aren’t interesting enough…even if I’m being polite (by getting to know someone there).
My co-workers are a good example. I am haunted by the fact that they think I’m pretty inept in conversation. They choose to talk to one another but I’m not included in the conversation. I am ignored. For example if I say something such as: “Ginseng has a variety of healthy nutrients…” they’ll cut me off and say “yeah, yeah, it’s good. Right.”
So they think I’m uninteresting and unintelligent, and now it’s like I feel hesitant to “mess up” again in another social environment.
I really should go to this MeetUp, but I don’t know what to expect. Need some advice please! Thanks
