<p>I am making a serious effort to become a different person. I am reading books and websites about social skills, body language, and manners. I've even read a Psychology Today article about mindfulness to get myself in the right mindset. I am writing notes about observations about how I am doing socially and what tips I should implement. I have a journal that keeps track of my progress day by day and to see whether my life is eventful or not.
I've joined four clubs and I'm active in all of them. Last week, I went to a psychology conference and made friends. In a few days I'm going to a concert with a few people from the school newspaper because one of them is interviewing the leader of a rock band. Next week I'm going to volunteer for a Sci Fi/Anime convention, but I'm not sure if I should go because my dad said that I'll look like a loser and normal people will avoid me.</p>
<p>Lately, I've been slipping up and losing track of my goals. I'm going back to spending too much time on the Internet like the loser I'm trying not to be anymore. How do I stop this for good?</p>
