Same here
I was never really a socially awkward person. It was more that I was just indifferent to anything. And didn't really care. Like, I can talk to anyone and usually have a good conversation, and I never worried about having to like talk in front of a class or whatever. In fact, I'm quite good at that.
I just have a way more positive outlook lately and it's giving me way more confidence to be outgoing and sociable. It just makes most of your experiences much better. And a few years ago I started to get really cynical which I hate now and am so glad I've stopped that.
Also, on a different note, I have this pretty cool class this semester. It's called "Criminology Goes To The Movies." It was just an elective I picked up, but the textbook has all the same stuff as a regular criminology textbook but it incorporates a movie into each chapter that relates to the subject. Like the one chapter we have to watch Taxi Driver, and others are Frankenstein, Psycho, Traffic, and about 7 more.
I'm really looking forward to it.
