Hey Bebe! It has been a good turn of events for sure!

Don - I'm 50 years old and relatively successful in the IT world. Can you believe that lunch with people is still the hardest part? It absolutely happens.

You’re doing great!

I am so very happy to see you excited about life. Not sure about being quiet. You seem like a very chatty chap with interests and a lot to share... loving your tales of the cubicle Its hard to make friends when you are older. I love your enthusiasm all the very best to you.

Sometimes it does seem like social situations are events/occurrences that one cannot strategically plan unless it’s a speech or job interview. There are some social situations that do make it seem like one is in job interview.🥲

I've said this before, I think you'd make an awesome Big Brother mentor. It'll get you out of your head and switch your attention away from your worries. Very freeing and the ladies love guys that volunteer. Overall you look good and sound good so kudos!

Hey Donnelly! Man, this is a GREAT update, thanks for sharing! If you don't mind, I am so curious why you're interested in speech therapy. Your speaking sounds great and I'm confused about what you'd like to improve. So happy you're doing well, keep rocking on :)

I do find myself tensing up in some social situations. Maybe that is more of an anxiety related issue.

So Donnelly: you were offered the job? You are starting a job in your desired field? If so this is FANTASTIC news! Im going to be behind you all the way!

I’m Accounts Receivable right now and that in itself is a huge step up from the jobs I’ve held since graduating back in 2017!

@@donnelly5757 I must have missed you announce this, but this is truly a great step forward in your life! Congratulations! Enjoy that first paycheck. Be frugal, save as much of each paycheck as possible to build up your cushion and finacial safety net. You did this all on your own. Great work!

Since you've mentioned this before, I'm really curious why you think you need speech therapy. Your voice sounds pleasant. English is not my first language and I have a hard time distinguishing a speech impediment, an accent or a local dialect. I tried to listen to you really carefully to notice if there was anything strange or weird about the way you speak. I can't find anything and if there is something it's far too subtle for my ears ❤

I totally suck at python. And based on your analogy, this could explain why my social skills aren’t great. But people have said I do have a good sense of humour without trying hard though, it could be my sarcasm/wit that amuses them..and my weirdness makes them intrigued. Haha

I think real friendships happen in grammar and high school. afterwards everything changes, people go their separate ways and become much more individualized than when they were young. The older you get the harder it gets. eventually one learns to live with oneself and finds it is a lot simpler and a lot less confusing to achieve things and move along in your life solo. people bring a lot of problems and few solutions.

Congrats Donnelly!

Nice to see you are making some progress Donnally 👍 .

Thanks Dave!👍

Well done, Donnelly! You're doing great :)

Happy for you. Just remember there is life outside of the cubicle. Really don't know why you worry so much. Just pretend you are on your utube channel. Just be polite, honest, and respect boundaries; be yourself. Your speech is fine. Your 40s seemed to be better than most. You were enjoying life and doing what you wanted. That's a good thing.

DON! I think you go ahead and read a book on Etiquette. Theres like 20 good ones. OR, spark up a convo with someone on a short flight (as in, you could book a short flight and then speak with the person beside you. Trust me, I do it, and it is a social nice custom. You can speak like Don Draper to start, or whoever else is cool, like Jerry Lewis. Anyways, been following your channel for a year now and happy to be contributing. Thx Alot

Keep up the good progress 🎉

Happy for you man. But don't be quiet around coworkers, everyone will think you are weird. Try to socialize as much as possible during lunch breaks.

Most of them work remotely so it isn’t to often I see them, but I do chat with them on occasion.

from someone who thinks they couldnt socialize. it's totally wrong. even you can socialize you may just not want it which is ok

I work with someone who is alot like you. Just graduated NJIT. Do you have any advice for me how to help him in social situations?

You're overthinking basic social interaction.

Perhaps, but maybe there could be other factors at play. Bellingham has been the hardest place to make friends than any other place I have lived or visited. This has made me question my ability to socialize. Age could be a factor, but I was in my 30s when I moved up here and even then it was super difficult.

Dang dude you got some serious social hang-ups.

I've been in the same boat, Donnelly. Had no friends, spent every weekend alone. Then I started going to meetups and meeting random people. This is a kind of a nerve wracking process, but 2 years later I have a stable group of friends and I go out 2 days a week regularly. Start with an app called Meetup.

I do recall meetup being very widely used a few years back. I think Facebook groups took a lot of the popularity from meetup. From what I remember one had to pay a monthly fee to start a group on Meetup whereas Facebook is free.

Donnelly, I'm a loser. I lost my best friend, Vegan Dolls, and I also lost communication with Eli Melias, a life coach online whom i was hoping would give me some ideas about how to get my best friend back. I devoted my entire substance hoping one day i would meet the perfect woman. All hope is lost.

Cope bs, the world isn’t a blessing, stop forcing yourself to be happy or normal
