What are your techniques to approach people?

...See more As the questions says. I'm curious about what you think before approach to someone you feel interested. I have been using a mindset of "seeing everyone as old friends" and it's actually working for me, I can feel less anxious (in my case because I have social anxiety) and actually I feel more interested in the other person. But sometimes I feel afraid of appear kinda "intense" to other people among other thoughts. So what do you think in order to make the conversations more joyful and interesting?

I'm looking for help

...See more Right now, I'm not feeling well. I have had suicide thoughts because I feel hopeless, I tried to reach some numbers of psychological help in my country but there are not functioning. I can speak some english so I think I can reach numbers from other countries in english but I don't know if it will be possible because of the country where I'm living right now. I don't have money to pay a psychologist (All my money goes to the university cuotes). If I had money obviously I would try to reach one. I tried to fill a form that could contact me with a psychologist but I have to wait, and see if I could discuss about the prices because I literally can't pay the services. I just would like to know if I'm not the only one that tried for a lot of time (almost 8 years) to understand myself, trying to socialize with people and improve but it never gets better. It's my first time writing my own thread, I hope someone can relate with what I'm writing because I'm feeling alone right now and I don't want to be alone with my thoughts. Right now I'm doing the inner child work with a book called "Healing your lost inner child" by Robert Jackman but right now I definitely don't have energy to make more letters from my younger self and my adult self. In my mind pass that idea about how I can't connect with other people, specially women (romantic and sexually) and how other people can do that but at the same time how that could be happening because of trauma (because I can see how I lived a lot of bad things on my childhood, at least that's what I'm seeing right now after doing some exercises from the book I'm reading). I've never had a girlfriend and write this makes me feel kinda embarrased. Think about a movie that I like, called "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" makes me feel safe, like just safe, and makes me want to cry, I don't know, I was thinking in watching it, I feel it helps me to just forget my problems for a moment.
