Just pull yourself together!

10. Force yourself to go for a walk. Take your headphones and go to the nearest park. Smile at the passersby going in the opposite direction and be amazed by how many smiles you get in return. Take your dog with you and observe its behavior. Realize that there is much to learn from a dog. 11. Write to your old friends with your personal jokes. Remember. Suggest meeting up, even if you haven't been in touch for a long time. Force yourself to keep in touch. 12. Think carefully about what interests you. Crimes? Sex? Boarding school? Long-forgotten etiquette? Find a book about it and read. There are books about everything in the world.
