Somehow I think that all the time life keeps pushing me in those type of situations

I think it's always good to keep in mind the good experiences that we've had in the past that came from facing new situations. People are good in the end, it's just a matter of spending time and being present, not somewhere else in our prejudicial minds...

When I get a new job one of these days, it will be my new environment, but for now it has been GMC that was most recent 'newbie experience.'
Get ready for those metaphors...   When I actually joined GMC I felt like a small kid walking through a maze of guitar lessons, instructors, people, and musical notes. I was overwhelmed of the information that was buzzing through my brain. I had never seen a site so jam-packed with knowledge. I was like a baby seeing the world for the first time...almost.  Everybody called me "fireball," which was a cool name, and I liked it a lot. Even Ramiro said, "Hey! Fireball! Welcome to the video chat!" As months went by I was a kid with only one instructor in mind. I had joined GMC to learn from Trond Vold. At this time I was obsessively into Canon Rock. I hardly played anything else. I was going to learn from Trond. As the Satch, Vai, Slash, and Petrucci are heroes of some, Vold was hero to me. But I soon began to realize that there were other instructors to learn from as well. That is how I learn and cope. I connect with one person, find a common ground, and then move on, add stuff, and tweak things.What continually amazed me was that everybody was scattered across the globe, and we all logged in and discussed music with each other through the forum. When I had a guitar problem, I got a quick response. That kid is still amazed at this site. He is still enjoying the many lessons, tools, instructors, and students scattered across this "6 x 1024 kg piece of dirt." GMC ROCKS!! Brandon (fireball)

Hmmm - my technique: shuttup and listen and then once you've learned what goes on around, mingle and talk
it never failed
