As it tends to happen in punk circles or just people who share such experiences, young in life it was some what difficult moving and not knowing anyone, where as back home I had been really good friends with most of the crew 10+ years. What I found helped me was to find a good wingman. Be open minded about this, this person may not resemble or fit into any group taht resembled your old friends. A guy in one of my classes came to an after calss bar call when the semester started. The first week was cool. The next week I asked the class (only about 12 people) if they wanted to go to the bar again, and people said "yes", but they never showed up so it ended up being me and this guy. He's not even American, he's Colombian, I asked him if he just wanted to meet with the class next week, but he said "fuck it we're here." Between the two of us we ended up killing 4 pitchers of fat tire and have been friends since. Hope this heps.....akhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762981782482218577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169849407979145898.post-80887341368434367842009-05-28T21:13:19.434-07:002009-05-28T21:13:19.434-07:00Saulio and Justin,

I didn't know whether to send this to...Hey Brendan,<br />I didn't know whether to send this to you directly at your email or if I should post it in the sock drawer. (I don't usually read alot of comments made in the comments section on pages. Punknews.org completely sucked any of the joy out of that a long time ago.) Anyways I read your blog every day during the week and I'm a huge fan of the Larry Arms so thanks for all the creative output that you have out there. It means alot to me.<br />Well to the point I have semi recently moved to a town away from home and long term friendships and all that. I moved here for a change of pace and for a better working opportunity and have been really succesful in work and it has definitely been a change of pace. I never got a free second when I was back home. There was always someone calling or someone stopping by or a million things to do and so on. After a while I began to feel really overwhelmed, thus the desire for the change of pace. Well (in reference to your many writings about confidence and Wednesdays post about coolness) back home I was brimming with confidence and cool. I would walk into a place and literally start fighting off ladies. It was weird, but whatever. Now that I'm in this new town and after I ended a relationship with a woman that was continually railroading my selfconfidence that I started dating about the time that I moved in to town (I won't ever date a girl in her early twenties again) I'm having a really hard time making friends and meeting new women. I get out in a place and start freaking out. I get around people that I've known for a while (not really friends but aquantices) and I don't have anything to say. I'm completely out of conversation material and I'm finding that I am having a hard time getting along with the people that I am meeting. I've been following your blog and the advice you've given for a while and I've tried switching up where I'm hanging out because the bars definitely weren't working. I've been going to shows, out to all different sorts of cool places to eat different cool food, going to art exhibits and spending alot of time in general in the greater downtown area of the town I'm living in. You know, all the normal things that you get involved with to find other people that are into subculture. I have been extremely let down by the people that I have met (the people that I have met I usually have some kind of dramatic confrontation with after knowing them only a short time and I hate confrontation now a days), and being even more let down by the fact that I'm not meeting any cool people, and that is what I feel is creating this whole social anxiety thing that is really starting to become an issue for me. I went from going out to places and having women offer me beej's in the bathroom (I never was down with accepting beej's from women I didn't know. I've always been a punk rocker and thought that your comment about punk rockers being prudes a couple of months back was right on with me regardless of if I wanted it to be that way or not.) and getting wrecked with the bands traveling through town to my phone not ringing ever. As a result, like I've said I went from being way confident and way cool to having zero confidence and a mounting social anxiety problem that I've never had before (I've been going out and hanging out for years and always felt ill at ease), and as a result of that I have zero friends in my new town and zero love interests. I feel like a weiner asking somebody for advice that I've never met before, well I don't know I may have spoken to you a bit one night at the Clermont after the last time you guys came to the Masquerade with American Steel but I was shitfaced so that night isn't altogether clear to me, but your advice is always solid and I'm desperate for some perspective on what I should do to regain my confidence and cool and start meeting people.<br />Thanks alot again for your help and your blog and the Larry Arms.<br />DannyDannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00230772337423681783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169849407979145898.post-9683484282267421612009-05-28T13:12:04.531-07:002009-05-28T13:12:04.531-07:00Young Einstein was an amazingly awesome movie!
