Im starting to really enjoy talking and getting to know people. The situation doesnt come up nearly enough for me though. To get really good at socializing and communication you have to do it regularly. Practice makes perfect comes to mind. By just making the effort to talk to people, regardless of the results, I feel empowered.
   A day where I make a new aquaintance always feels like a success. On that note I dont know where to find people to talk with. I dont want to go back to the bar scene. Im not interested in typical meeting places and talking with smokers or drunks. I just dont resonate with these people any more. A comfortable place for me is a poker table but socializing at a poker table usually affects my poker game for the worse. Also the poker table contains many people with who I do not resonate.  These days Im looking for interesting beings who are self aware and obviously conducive to communication.
  Ill be honest I havent searched much for where I should be meeting people. I talk to whoever I can but its tough to get into an extended conversation at places like Best Buy or the grocery store. I have a need to have some conversations and get to know some new people. Just wanted to share my experience and what Im going through right now. Thanks for reading. Hit me up with some ideas.
