John, I’ve been here for a year and i still haven’t made any friends.

Really? At university you were always so social.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/dialogur_head-07.png)
I know, but it was so easy to be social then. At work, I’m actually really shy.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head_dialogue_head.png)
You could try having more conversations with your co-workers.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/dialogur_head-07.png)
They have tried to include me, but I never know what to say.

Then how about a meet up? You can meet people who share common interests with you.

Do I need to need to sign up to participate?
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head_dialogue_head.png)
They are usually pretty informal events. I’m sure you could just show up.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/dialogur_head-07.png)
I don’t know. Maybe they won’t like me. Maybe they’ll think I’m boring.
![](https://25hoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/dialogur_head_dialogue_head.png)
No way! Just go and be yourself!
