Dear Mr Kip,
Active listening skills may help you to overcome some of your difficulties with meeting someone.
But just like your other talents, they will need to be practiced.
As for meeting interesting people, well there are so many ways. Perhaps start with writing down all your interests and see if there are opportunities in your area.
A simple way for me to meet someone new is to take my dog for a walk somewhere new. This is just one example.
There are several gardening clubs local to me which I could make the most of. This is another example of something quite simple.
There is a recycling group at the weekend I would have liked to go to but I am too unwell at present, however, I know there will be lots of people there and mostly I don't know them. So if I was able to go I would have enjoyed my time there and meeting someone new would have been a bonus.
i was born too late. it is hopeless.
