Hey all,

I just wanted to put it out there that I have really found that
focusing on relaxation during social interaction helps me not focus so
much on myself and more on the actual conversation. I think it's
amazing how much the mind really has to do with our actions, and I've
noticed that when I'm able to both relax my mind and think positively I
can do pretty well with interaction. I've found that simply repeating
in my mind the word "relax" and really trying to remember an experience
when I was totally relaxed socially helps me reinact that behavior with
whoever I'm talking to. I'm not usually one to go for abstract ideas
such as these as a means of making real change, but I definitely think
meditation and maybe some other techniques can really help. I'm just
wondering does anyone else have any type of experience with meditation
and is there a certain type that they fnd very helpful or any other
exercises with the mind? Thanks and good luck to everybody!
P.S. Does anyone have any suggestions about making conversation, I
think this is my weakest social skill.
