/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

What the fuck happened to my social skills? I used to be able to make friends or at the very least hold conversations with strangers easily. I don't have any friends who are girls in the area that I live in now and I really miss having them, especially ones who I share hobbies with. Last week I went to a metal concert and while I was waiting for the bathroom in between sets I was standing next to this girl who had some cute anime pins on her bag. I thought it would be a good idea to try to talk to her because we have two things in common so I complimented her pins. She said something like "they're not very metal" or something and all I could think to say was just "haha they're adorable" awkwardly and then the conversation just ended. I know that it's rare to just randomly click with a stranger in public and I wasn't expecting to just become friends with her like that or anything but I still feel like I was such an awkward fuck. God I miss having girl friends to talk to about anime and go to cons together with and stuff.
