I’ve been working on being more sociable. I’ve been talking to people in my classes, and doing work in the lounge for my major. I’m not as productive as when I work on my own, but I’m getting involved in small talk. I think someone here mentioned that much of small-talk is just about being enthusiastic and friendly—once I started looking at it this way it became much easier—it is actually pleasant for me now.
I’m about halfway through reading Social Cognition by Gordon Moskowitz, which is helping me gain a better understanding of cognitive biases.
I’ve also been writing explanations of science topics for my grandmother, among other things like “what is an internet community?”
