What if

If I have a weakness, it would be my inability (or maybe unwillingness) to initiate conversation. I can never go up to someone and say, "Hello, how are you?", unless I am greatly compelled to. Thus when I am in a group with both people I know and don't know, I tend to stick with those I know best, and hardly interact with the others. Thus I miss out on making new friends and developing acquaintences.

And I've just discovered what a drawback that is. One of the great things about the Net is that you can find out a lot of things about people without actually meeting them. And I found out that a lot of people who I know only in passing are actually cool people whom i would love to know better. Sad, huh? Its hard being an introvert who's interested in people.

Man, I lament my lack of initiative.
