So, I’ve been working a new retail job, and it took me a few months to open up to a few people I get along with well. It really makes the day better to have someone to shoot the shit with on a dreadful day. There’s one or two I’d like to become “real” friends with and hang outside work. How should I go about this?
Anyway, I’ve been way out of my comfort zone as I haven’t had to make new friends since high school. It seemed so much easier back then, or maybe I’m just a different person. I could talk to anyone back then. Maybe playing sports gave me more confidence, but I’ve completely lost the ability to approach someone and just set up plans.
To digress, how should I approach someone to hang out after work without seeming weird or overbearing?
