Question #451


What sorts of things would you do if you could be as outgoing and uninhibited as you wished?

Do you usually initiate friendships or wait to be approached?

Work related: SAP (computer system) consulting. I think I would be great doing consulting were I more outgoing and uninhibited.

Personally: Organize a neighborhood newsletter & friends group. A friend of mine lives in a community where they meet monthly to play keno, have a news letter and a website. They are very involved with each other and I think that is neat. But I'm just not that outgoing.

I definitely wait to be approached or let my husband make friends, then I get to be friends with them and their spouse....

Organize a really big revolution and declare myself King! And aren't you glad I am not THAT outgoing!

I usually initiate friendships but I don't have to. People are just naturally drawn to me.

Dang PEF .... you scare me!! LOL

I am with patr ... I think I would try to organize a neighborhood group ... I may still try to do that as tutoring starts winding down for the school year. My question then is .... how many people are our neighbors?? A one block radius?? Start small and work our way out??

Friendships?? Depends ... how much beer have I had??

I wwould bow to the superiority of PEF - just ask him, he will tell you.

I think I am outgoing enough, thank you. Just ask me, I will tell you.

My main inhibitions stem from my poor "Body Image" and that keeps me from doing many things unfortunately. So, if I could just get past that,nothing would be beyond my reach! LOL (within reason)I'd go out more, have people over more,etc. Before I got sick, I was always doing something and very involved with the school, church and community. I kind of miss that.

I usually intiate friendships. I'm 1/2 Italian and the other 1/2 is a real mix, but all put together and coupled with my upbringing and life experiences, it made me a very chatty,friendly, sociable person. Now if I could just get over these body issues while getting back down to my "goal weight", I think our calendar would be filled! (Hmmmm...maybe there's a reason for certain things being the way they are? LOL)

A teacher, teaching art. Possibly I would be a dancer, or professional skater. Maybe even a singer if only in a choir.
I would have to say as far as initiating friendships, it's not easy.

Go to more parties and social occassions, make time to visit friends when invited. Be there for those friends that need support in their time of need. I have become much better at being there for those friends that I know require support in their time of need in the last year or so.

A combination of both. Examples: When Rodney introduced me to Tom 'Rant Master', the friendship took over from there.

I have telephoned Tootsie in the past when it appeared on this blog that she needed support. I've heard nothing from Tootsie, but I like the prayers she sends out, and the ones by CinCin as well. I have no problems with Tootsie (Hi Tootsie) but would let Tootsie indicate IF she is interested in a friendhsip with me.

I would like a friendship with Sue Ann. I have said as much, and ask about her just about every time I see CinCin - however due to the fact that I don't hear anything back regarding Sue Ann, and if I listen very hard I hear the Cosmic Background 'hiss' left over from the Big Bang, i.e. in plain words I hear nothing back, I'm going on that Sue Ann doesn't even want to know me.

And thats how I make friends!
Simple isn't it?
