[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] How DO students ask each other to do things? My DC also has this struggle (still in HS) and I want to share some tips before college. I also wasn't the most outgoing but always had friends somehow--I don't remember any specific conscious effort. [/quote] You just . . . do it? I think it's hard for a lot of people to understand that this is thing you need to do, because for some people it's so easy -- as they walk down the hall of their dorm, they ask people whose doors are open if they want to go for ice cream. If they see someone coming back from a run, they ask if they'd like to go for a run together that weekend. As they're leaving a class, they ask where someone else is headed now. They fit little conversations and little offers to do something together into their moments of proximity to other people. For some people, that comes naturally. The rest of us have to push ourselves to make the effort. [/quote]
