It was hard for me not to become socially paranoid (always worried about making the right impression, etc.). For me, the greatest tip was your "don't judge." In my new area, I totally judged all these ladies as being too done-up and "fancy" like you said. Thought they'd be uninterested in me or shallow or something. Super crazy wrong! Like you, as I've gotten to know them, they're so great and have so much depth of character. I hope I someday learn to stop pre-judging and worrying about being judged as well.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11813275222950894927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307946577264246422.post-4395485368171302292013-05-20T17:10:05.625-07:002013-05-20T17:10:05.625-07:00Great read!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I love LOVE the friends that I have now but there are just so many people out there that could teach me so many things if I would just say hi and get to know them.Katelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875003604402310996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307946577264246422.post-91921574007932937922013-05-20T11:22:14.152-07:002013-05-20T11:22:14.152-07:00Thanks, Emily! :)Thanks, Emily! :)Amy @ Swag On, Momma!https://www.blogger.com/profile/12569088581879633863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307946577264246422.post-4204746345414035512013-05-20T11:03:38.152-07:002013-05-20T11:03:38.152-07:00Some of these things are just important for making...Some of these things are just important for making friends in general!

That's cool that you've made friends through blogging...I have to!

I don't get to have girls nights too often, but when I do, they are awesome! I haven't explored the world of play dates yet, but I really want to. Lorin and I like to have friends over or go over to other people's houses fairly often. It is nice to have fun with other couples and hang out.

Yeah, I think people are pretty forgiving of a little awkwardness--they will remember you more for being friendly!

Of course after it's over I come up with the best comments. It's good to be reminded that other people feel this way too so you just need to make the move even if you feel stupid.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06989139227386009965noreply@blogger.com
