Welcome. What a great intro.

Have a good day at work man

GM also new here.

You arrive at a party and don’t know anybody.

People are slowly showing up but it’s still slow but the party seems promising.

You feel lonely and a bit lost. Everyone knows their people and is talking to them. Having insiders, showing family pictures, referencing things that happened a year ago. What should you do? Yeh feels weird right?

At this moment you’re thinking to leave the party. “I’m super lonely - don’t have any friends - I don’t understand anything that they’re talking about. All of these people must be nerds right? If I don’t fit in I probably won’t like it at this party anyway. “

You’re about to leave. But you take the courage to talk to the woman getting a drink next to you.

“Hey there how are you I’m new here.” You tell her.

And suddenly her eyes glow up and she starts responding: “omg awesome.. tell me about yourself”

You introduce yourself, your hobbies and why you came to the party. She immediately nods and introduces you to her friends group.

“Hey look who just came to the party.” Her friends start to slowly communicate with you and you can quickly identify who you click with and who not.

You’re so much in conversation now that you didn’t even notice the girl left and moved on talking to other people.

You’re slowly finding the right people with the same interests. Sometimes you’re involved in the conversation sometimes you aren’t.

But that’s how parties work right? If people have something good to tell or share a lot of people gather to hear the story so sometimes you’re just a listener sometimes you’re the one telling the story. You’ve been to parties before and understand that it often takes time to get to know your crew.

In the end this party turns into an amazing evening. You met a couple new people who you exchanged contacts with and you promised to stay in contact. They also invited you to join the same party tomorrow again.

You walk home and are amazed of how this evening evolved. Sometimes being pro active and trying to get to know people actually works and this way you find the people you want to interact with.

Before leaving the girl who initially introduced you to her friends told you that the parties get better and better the more often you show up and the more you talk to strangers and show interest.

A week ago there was someone coming from another party called x or smth like that she didn’t fully remember the name of the party he normally went to. But this guy basically was just shouting into the room.

Literally standing there not talking to anyone but shouting into the void. Apparantely it worked for him on other parties. He left promptly because he said that people are mean here and that he felt really lonely and not appreciated.

Funny you think - that’s almost what happened to you when first joining the party.

You get into bed pretty happy about the day. Something within you urges you to simply scream GM into the void.. you don’t really yet know why but it feels amazing. In the distance you hear other GMs but you must be hallucinating… You close your eyes with the plan to join the party tomorrow again.

Maybe you’ll find some friends for life there 💜

Now read this again and exchange “party” with “nostr”
