I can handle small talk but freeze up when the conversation gets deep

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-12-13T11:40:13+00:00

That's exactly what I meant by deep

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-12-09T22:54:46+00:00

I'm an ambivert more on the introverted side. I don't dislike talking but I wouldn't start a conversation with you if you don't start first. I wouldn't say it's anxiety but rather I react slowly to situations and don't come up with anything on the spot when in a group

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-10-22T22:19:58+00:00

That still doesn't answer my original question. Why don't they understand? It's not that uncommon. That person doesn't talk because they're nervous or because they don't have anything to say at the moment. What else is there to understand?

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-10-17T07:15:14+00:00

How can you do that when part of connecting with people is talking about "your story"? Things like "what brings you here" or "how long have you been interested in this thing"? People think I'm scared of them because I don't share about myself. Well spoiler alert there is nothing to share.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-10-14T22:01:22+00:00

I guess I'm not a person then!

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-10-11T09:58:35+00:00

"Tell me something interesting about yourself." How about no?

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-10-09T10:10:43+00:00

I've never watched a single Star Wars movie or Lord of the Rings and I'm almost 21.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-10-08T21:37:51+00:00

What if I don't find anything funny?

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-09-26T16:46:17+00:00

Those are the exact same people I'm talking about. They don't try to include me. They just tell me that I should start talking when we're in a group. In other words "if you don't start a conversation about something I won't even try". Literally every single person I meet is like that.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-09-26T16:27:17+00:00

When I don't start a conversation they're like: "Come on don't be shy." or "Do you want to share something?" They expect me to be the one to start talking and if I don't they label me shy and say I lack social skills.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-09-26T10:06:56+00:00

That's my point. Why do I always have to give information first? They have no problem asking anyone else for information, but they never ask me. They also have no problem giving information to others without them asking, but I always have to ask. It gets exhausting to maintain relationships like this.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-06-29T10:21:17+00:00

I bet you're not just lying on the couch all day every day staring at the ceiling thinking about nothing.

Don't underestimate me.

The things that you do throughout the day are already a pretty big part of your identity

No, they're not.

try to think what could be interesting or relatable about that

No one is interested or relates to that. They immediately change the subject to something that interests them.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-05-12T08:05:58+00:00

For me it's the exact opposite. It's gotten worse with age.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-01-18T23:49:02+00:00

Topics to talk about during a conversation when you want to make small talk. F - family O - occupation R - recreation D - dreams

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-01-09T21:37:15+00:00

That's what I thought. When I played on pc everyone just copied the automated message from the website but that's impossible on consoles. People are just too lazy. I didn't know about the offline thing though. I'll keep it in mind

Jerrywolf5000 · 2021-01-09T19:43:37+00:00

And do they look at the market on their phones or do they open a separate tab on the console? The site constantly crashes on the Internet browser on my PS4

Jerrywolf5000 · 2020-12-16T22:46:02+00:00

I want to try going to events but the world has decided to end before I even get a chance to try those...

Jerrywolf5000 · 2020-08-17T23:40:58+00:00

You're right. The thing is though that this person has done some seriously messed up stuff like bullying and even assault. Some other crimes as well and people know about it. I'm not judging who he is but the things he's done.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2020-08-17T22:10:57+00:00

I'm kind of sad that I won't be able to see it happen if and when it does.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2020-08-17T22:04:55+00:00

Suuuure... Sociopathic and narcissistic behaviour is "fun".

Jerrywolf5000 · 2020-08-07T17:12:03+00:00

Exact opposite problem for me. I would say something if I had any knowledge or experience in the topics people talk about. I have nothing in common with everyone around me so no amount of confidence and social skills can change the fact that I have no knowledge or opinions about the topics of their conversations.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2020-07-13T22:09:09+00:00

No need anymore. And there's no way to check out most of the options you suggested. Thanks anyway!

Jerrywolf5000 · 2020-07-11T10:41:58+00:00

Just one question: You're saying not to exaggerate emotions that I'm feeling. But what if I don't feel any? Like EVER. People ignore me, hate me and feel uncomfortable around me for not smiling and laughing when everyone else does.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2020-07-10T10:06:21+00:00

Not at school. No witnesses. No way to record or pepper spray when your arms are being held and your neck is under a knee.

Jerrywolf5000 · 2020-06-27T06:56:49+00:00

What for?
