>sports league I've actually been thinking about trying to join a sports league, but I just don't really know how I'm supposed to start a conversation. I do have friends and sometimes we'll talk to some of their friends but I haven't actually gotten out and done an activity where I don't know anybody in a while so I could use some advice. >Show your personality, even if you end up struggling and not being able to show it the way you want. Taking a chance is often worth it, even if it doesn't work out or you feel embarrassed. There are people who would rather get to know you over avoiding possible stuttering awkwardness  Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it. This is something that I feel like I struggle with, but i'm trying to get better at it.
