About David Morin
Hi! I’m David, founder of SocialSelf.
When my middle school peers went to school discos, I was at home building model cars.
As I grew older I felt clueless about how to talk to people.
I had some friendships through school, but sometimes they were one-sided and other times toxic.
I developed a protective layer.
As an adult I spent lots of weekends alone and the thought of socializing made me anxious.
I felt like I bored people. I got stuck in small talk. I got ignored in groups.
And at the same time, I didn’t want to turn into one of those over-extroverted “party goes” that I associated with socializing.
Out of pure luck, I got to know really socially savvy people that I actually liked.
I studied what they did and realized that you don’t have to be loud and obnoxious or shallow to have a great social life.
You can build close friendships and even enjoy meeting new people – while being yourself more than ever!
When I started figuring this out, people began asking me for advice. And that’s how SocialSelf started, over 12 years ago!
It’s so cool to get out of bed every morning and read emails from people who thank us for their new, more fulfilling social lives. And if this program makes a big change in your life too, I‘d be so happy to hear from you!
