I did this 10 years ago moving from England to Cyprus. I'm an introvert so it was tough for me but made it work in the end. A decade later and I'm still here

Bravery isn’t lacking fear. Bravery is acting despite your fear.

Welcome to Austin! Help keep it weird!

Its hard enough to make friends in your hometown, i cant imagine how hard it is to make them in another city.

[King-mshy]

I would say to add on top of going out and meeting people. It's good to follow up with more plans with the people you really have a connection with or would like to know more. I met tons of people my problem was not staying connected. I would go out and do something fun, only to leave and never be seen again.

[TheFatNerd]

i admire your courage cole. this is probably my biggest fear deadass

[kflecha]

I definitely need to put myself out there more often because I'm getting lonely...

[danielnicholson]

the answer "get outside. Just move" is simple and extremely effective. Sometimes it can be hard for a socially anxious person, but it does get easier. It's like the first time on a roller coaster. You're scared shitless until you're doing it and then when finished you're like "That wasn't so bad. Imma go again!". At least that's how it goes if you just let go, at least while you're doing it. Don't dip your toes in the water and overthink how cold it is, just jump in and it won't feel bad.

I loved this video! It's so refreshing seeing people be so friendly and being open to accepting an outcast, i hope you keep finding great people like them

[TheMambaAtlas]

Moving to Texas soon, and was worried about making friends. I appreciate you making this video, gave me comfort!

[Msaon_]

As someone who moved to Austin a year ago and had socially isolated himself, this video is super encouraging, thanks for making this video!

[Cypher-zuyz]

I got the recipe:
1.Be humble,
2.Be yourself,
3.Be confident
and no silly ego, or grudges towards anything or anyone just positive vibe to everyone

I’d say the easiest approach is to imagine you are in the other person’s shoes. How would you like to be approached. What helps just as much is to take serious interest in the people you meet. People mostly like to talk about what they are involved in and if you can’t find that interesting then move on to the next person and eventually it will work out.

I've talked to people a lot at work and in class but no one ever comes to me and wants to hang out with me. I always have to do the work. It's been that way my whole life.

[chiefboy]

This is amazing I will be moving to a whole new city on my own I’m 22 years old & have a strong interest in self improvement & self development, trying new activities such as this are scary yet so fulfilling but I will break my shell 🤝🤝🤝🤝appreciate you cole 🤝🤝🤝

[rudyvillela]

I was born and raised in this city. It has changed so much. Back in the day, Keep Austin Weird really meant something. You're uniqueness was totally embraced. Now, you have to look like each other in order to fit in. I do hope you found an authentic group of friends without the insecurities that can keep you in a box!

[azazefer]

I love how good your storytelling has gotten, it really makes me enjoy the video so much more. Also welcome back!

[razzylightning]

Never comment on videos. But this video sparked something in me to go and try to find clubs local to me that i'm interested in trying! From the bottom of my heart Cole, thank you for putting this content out for people like me who struggle communicating with strangers (I have autism so that's why i find it difficult to go up and approach random people in new environments XD)
