I heard that can be a real problem, glad you got it fixed.

Kennigit is pretty much king.

I wonder how many otherwise-fucked over outcasts will see the light because of his selfless advice.

People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.

WTF how can you sound like a pedophile, wtf does a pedophile sound like?


I tried not deepening my voice so that I don't sound like I'm about to sing Chocolate Rain then I try adding cheerfulness to my voice.

The end result was usually pathetic. I've improved upon it(so that my actual voice comes out and not my manly voice(which I seem to not be able to control)) so it isn't that bad XD.

Scorpion dude one piece of advice. When you are conversing with some one straight on its RUDE to NOT LOOK at them in the eye. If they are talking to you and your looking away or looking over the shoulder YOU are ignoring them. RUDE GOT ME ? you loose socially
When YOU are talking its ok to look to the left or to the right slighlty then go back to eye contact.
When they talk YOU MUST LOOk into their eyes it make them think that you are listening to them.
To be a listener and to be heard is very important to other people. So when you talk you would like people to listen to you and maintain eye contact rather then having them look all over the place.
my 2 cents.
mooooooooo

RedTail, you sound like you're coming straight from the murky depths of the Blizzard forum.
Am I correct?

I have pretty much the EXACT same problem. Nowadays when I'm talking to anyone like say a teacher or something, it's a habit for me to look to the left every couple seconds or so.

Do you guys know what to do when you talk to a person with a lazy eye or is cross sided? I always try to make eye contact when talking to someone but when they have a fucked up eyes I don't want to not look and make them feel awkward but at the same time when I look into their eyes it is very awkward for me (and them lol).

I don't think they are that concious of it, so staring at them wouldn't be like rude or make them feel awkward I think. I know a guy at my school whose eyes are a bit screwed up and I'm pretty sure he doesn't think of it much.

I used to be the same way. I say 'used to' because it seems to be going away the more I socialize with other people. One thing that I find somewhat interesting about this is that I never had this sort of issue around close friends, only people I didn't consider close friends or family members.

About the hand movement and whatnot, I always do that, even with bland conversations topics. If I find a conversation topic extremely bland I add a shitton of gestures then try relating it to something else so that the conversation keeps going.

I never thought about story telling and adding your emotions to it, though. Thanks for the tips!

Study journalism, it helps. You get to learn how to face people

No, but seriously, just knock into your head that "who cares what happends". If you make a fool out of yourself, then so what? Hopefully you learned something, and if its still really bothering you, just be open and tell the girl your'e speaking to that you generally get nervous around girls. That might actually even score you some bonus points.

Everyone has to learn to make a fool of them selves occasionally, thats the way it works.
