I still think you just need to speak your mind and not worry about what other people think. Once you get in the habit of speaking your mind, you are better equipped to think quickly and react to other people. | ||

Granted not everyone gets such a good source of comic relief from their parents, but there are tons of things that you can find in common with people and talk to them about. | ||

i go to church on sundays.. just out of curiosity.. i do get another opportunity to talk to people there.. and people do approach me but.. i always forget peoples names.. and i forget the things theyve told me.. Do you know why you forget their names and what they told you? Because you don't care. If you did, you'de remember, speak, form relationships, be approachable. Everyone is selfconcious in public and in dealing with people they don't know. Ever notice that the people that get all the attention in a group are kind and happy and seem excited when they see people? And people just seem to gravitate toward them, like they don't even need to try to be popular? That's because they make people comfortable around them, and they form relationships with people that grow over time. If you can't remember a person's name, or their story, why the fuck should they bother talking to you? You obviously don't give a shit. Would you want to talk to a person like you? Someone who is so introverted and quiet that you can't understand what they are thinking, whether they like you around them, whether they can string enough words together to engage you socially? No. You wouldn't. Think more about what you do in social situations, not what you aren't doing. That's where you'll find your answer. | ||

I completely love soccer, when I play with people I love talking about the game, talking about my team's weaknesses, what we should have done better etc. I like animals a lot. So I end up talking to people about animals. As long as it stays interesting, nobody ever has a problem with it. I told my friend about how a tree frog jumped on my foot or that I was harassing a juvenile alligator when I was in a kayak. I took a picture of an anole biting my hand. Even the stupid squirrels on campus provide inspiration, you can throw anything near them and they chase after it. I've thrown ice cubes, hot coals, sticks, acorns, apple cores . . . no matter what the squirrels chase it down and investigate it. Maybe I am just a complainer but I do complain a lot about my mom. Other people can always relate because pretty much everybody gets pissed off by their mom or dad. Okay well, I am not going to list 5 things, and you don't have to either, but there are obviously things which you care about and other people do too that you can talk with them about. | ||

The point is not "how to do" something. What I'm saying there mnm is that you claim to what to be a more engaging conversationalist. I believe this is a lie. I think you are ashamed of your history of social behavior and envy the "life of the party" so much that you what an artificial way to emulate them. If you really wanted to talk to people...not talk AT them, or galavant around them, be the loud mouth one woman show...then you would speak to people and care about what they are telling you. Get to know them. What the fuck is "meeting" people good for if you're doing it for the sake of "meeting" more people. If you do that you won't truely meet anyone. See what I mean? | ||
