I spoke to someone today, sounds normal? I can't even remember the last time I spoke to someone randomly in public, I walk around with the sense that everyone thinks that maybe I'm scary or something.... Probably because I know that I walk round with a serious face, paranoia perhaps.

I broke a barrier, I wouldn't have imagined myself doing such things but now that I feel more comfortable with myself I want to make my life better and meeting people is a good way to do that. I know that when you meet people the outcome might not really change anything but you have a chance of making a friend or whatever; more of a chance than never talking to people and the risk is worth it, risk of rejection or whatever else, well worth it.

I had a chat with Keegan, a 19 year old woman from Sunnyvale, this is the first of many occasions I will speak to people I don't know.
