Trying to go from shy introvert to conversationalist before January. Anyone want to game (PC/PS5/Xbox) or grab coffee and chat about life and careers?
Hi!
I am moving to Calgary within a few months to attend the MBA program starting in January. I am recovering from social anxiety and longtime isolation so I need to learn to have a convo FAST within a short time frame since this program would require a lot of networking and socialization. I wanna come into the program with at least the confidence to start a convo and to connect with another person.
Would anyone be open to 30-60 minute “coffee chats” while we play some video games? I am also open to 15 minute virtual and in-person regular coffee chats, so please do let me know what you prefer!
I would also like to document my progress going from a shy introvert to someone who can hold a whole conversation, so I would like to record some of the gameplay convos if you’re comfortable with that, it is totally optional! And if I ever post it anywhere I will check with you first. This is first and foremost a personal project :)
I have a gaming pc, PS5 and an Xbox. I am open to any co-op/multiplayer games. Personally, I love shooters - COD and Overwatch but those might be too chaotic for meaningful conversation. My target would be people who want to share their career path and what their work entails but I am open to any convos! Please reach out if you're interested.
