The wasteland is bad enough as it is without someone watching your back, or at least willing to check it for giant mutant ticks. To do this you of course need friends. The easiest way to make friends is to talk to people.
Let's be entirely honest here. If you are the kind of nerd that picks up a book instead of going outside and breathing that fresh, cool nuclear winter air: you need to talk to someone. Frankly, anyone. It's very easy actually. Just go up to someone and say "Hello." I know it's new to you but you can do it. I believe in you, pumpkin.
Welcome back. Now that you have recovered from your stab, gun shot, or other mortal wound you know first hand how hard it is to get to know people these days. Was this totally necessary? No. Anyway, there is a time honored tradition that may help keep further injuries from potential friends to a minimum. This is, obviously, radio! Tell the people over the waves you're cool and they'll be falling all over you trying to share a heart necklace with you. Either that or they'll just attack your home after you tell them where you live. We in the industry call this FUN-cupational hazards.
Don't worry about the banging and gunshots coming from outside. They will go away after a while. Hopefully.
After you have fearlessly fought off hordes of would be murderers (or hid in a closet or something) you should have at least one person you reached that actually wants to be friends. Don't fuck this up.
