Good for you for breaking out of your comfort zone. It's not easy to do. But with practice just about anything gets easier. I'm naturally very social and "good with people" so this is rarely a problem I experience. I have, however, coached friends on interacting with others. A few points to consider for anyone that finds social interactions difficult: 1. breathe - sounds so obvious, but people tense up 2. listen 2. ask questions of others and be interested 3. listen 4. humility - don't try to impress everyone

Again, nice work for getting out there.
