I'm looking for some guidance on how to be AFOG. Currently in college, I failed my first year so I'm a bit behind on credits. Being older than most people makes me uncomfortable and not want to socialize at school. I don't have a social circle or any friends because of it. I'm ashamed of what I haven't accomplished, and have no clue how to smoothly steer conversations away from that. I'm shy as fuck and get extremely anxious when people start talking to me because I know sooner or later they'll ask about my age, my (nonexistant) job etc. My face flushes bright red and I stumble on words when people interact with me. I can't look at an attractive person (male or female) without being jittery. In other words, I'm a nervous wreck.
I've been lurking this subreddit for quite a while now and I've found some of the guides very insightful. But I've had enough of hiding in my room and lurking online, I want to make progress.
Oh, and an itsy bit of progress has been made tonight. [FR] I smiled at every person I walked passed but only this elderly lady smiled back at me. I also smiled and told the bus driver "Have a wonderful night" to which he replied "You have a lovely night"... in a sexy voice, I should add.
I want to make my voice sound sexy.
So do I have hope? Shy girl hoping to transform into AFOG? I guess I'd need to find a group of friends first. Oh and I don't drink or smoke, and I've never gone to a club or bar or any social events. Seddit, DO I HAVE HOPE? I'm fully aware this post may be out of place and may get downvoted to oblivion, but I'm happy that I'm doing something about this pathetic lifestyle of mine... sort of.
