I am single, enjoy being social, but seemingly unapproachabl

Post Reply New Topic

I am looking for help in what I assume is my outward unapproachable appearance.

I travel a great deal for work and when in new and interesting places like to do touristy things. I don't mind doing them on my own, but I would like to be more comfortable in starting conversations with others on the same tour.

I feel as if I'm keeping others at a distance, and in actuality I am afraid that I will be bothering them.

I am actually a fun, outgoing social person when I'm with my friends, it's when I'm on my own I am scared to start conversations for fear of sounding sound stupid.

I would really like to meet more people, even if its just for a few hours or even minutes. I like people and get lonely when away from home for an extended people of time.

I am aware that I have a defensive nature - I'm relatively attractive and have I've been victim of unwanted attention, stalking and harassment in the past. I am looking for help in finding the happy medium between being cautious and careful and cutting myself off from the rest of the world.

Anyone have any suggestions? I am away from home this weekend, have plans for both Saturday and Sunday and know that I'd enjoy the days much more if I could open up and have a few conversations with others on the tours I've signed up for.

I recall hearing about tours for singles once, perhaps you can scout out one in an area you are being sent to for work.
