Thanks. I'm so shy I am afraid to say hello and chat.
Maybe it’s a good idea to first ask about something simple, if it’s at school for example ask about some school related practical thing perhaps.
That's all I can talk about it seems, university related things, other than that there's nothing. Mind you, being 13 years older than my current cohort there's not much in common.
Movies, arts, music, current (local) events, sports, literature, travels, ... there’s so much
Pretzels!

Definitely! food is always a good topic do you like the small cracker pretzels or the big breadlike ones from Germany? I love those but I always scrape the salt off

I agree and it’s not so bad to talk about ridiculous things too, I’m thinking about that show Seinfeld for example. They talk about nonsense but in an interesting way because they care about and are interested in the subject. It’s also very important to be a good listener and give response back on what she said

Haha. Not a fan of the big breadlike, dry versions you ate at the concert. And that a friend sometimes buy over here at Lidl.
Not a fan of the crackers either.
Not a pretzels person. But I think I could kill 5-10 minutes talking about them.
Rather have a Delicatoboll.

A what now?!?! oh but I had a cheese pretzel at the concert! Yummy! Thing is that you only got the rest of it without any cheese left

Something you can buy at a cafeteria and strike up a conversation about with a girl you like.
@Thoughts_Arrive - if you are so shy - to a degree of it impeding your life. Have you tried to get out of that in some way? Fighting it.

It is very important to listen to what someone is saying. I realized that a few minutes ago when I responded to one of Thought's posts about being shy. I responded with something completely different than what he was talking about. Wtf? I need mickeyrat to post a tedtalk video for listening skills.

I did mention it to my psychologist and psychiatrist years ago, the medication kind of helped. It's something I've had since childhood, a fear of approaching and saying hi.

At your next appointment, mention it again, tell them how much it affects you and ask them for help. And I‘m not talking about medicine! There’s also behavioral psychologists who can specifically help to identify behavioral patterns and work with you on strategies to break them. Don’t just accept that you have this issue but try and tackle it. sorry in case I’m sounding pushy, I don’t mean to. But you‘ve got to do something about it

If you're eligible, your GP writes you a 10 session mental health plan which entitles you to a rebate. So a $200 session will leave you around $70-$80 out of pocket. I've had that before and 10 sessions go so fast. I may be entitled to a lower rate seeing I am unemployed. I have 5 sessions free at my university which I used 2 years ago. Problem is I need more than 5 or 10 sessions and it's too much. I paid over $3,000 when I was working full time.

An inherited disposition to be introverted and shy combined with an abusive mother who broke me down before she could build me up.
Have you distanced yourself from your mom, or have you resolved your problems with her, or is it the same today?
We live in the same house but we don't speak much. There are moments when it is all normal but then we have arguments or she gets upset at me and stops talking to me.
