There is very little difference between public speaking - the #1 fear - and taking those first steps into a social setting, when you don't know anyone or you feel that you have nothing to offer -because you have no idea how to start a conversation or to keep one going. After all, you don't have a script.

Since I won't be moving to TV until September, I don't know if Improv classes are available there, but, I can almost guarantee that if you can find one you will discover the whole experience, of joining social groups and making friends, an enjoyable one

That really sounds fun...and very worthwhile. If there's not one (I'll be moving to TV soon), sounds like you just volunteered to start one!! LOL!! ;^)
