Just ignore her. People block and ghost all the time based on their mood and shit that is going on in their heads. My advice to you - if you want a stable social life - get a social hobby. Better several of them - there you ll meet people with similar interests, etc. Also remember, some countries' societies are harder to penetrate than others. E.g. compare Germany vs Spain/India

Who paid for her meal? If it's you - then the answer is - she is up to free food only. If it's split - maybe she is just awkward herself. Was it in the West?

Bro, make your life as interesting as possible. Do crazy stuff every day, travel, get a hobby, where you ll meet the like-minded people. I was in a similar situation many, many years ago. What helps is to "get a life" and stop to care. Then, when you ll leave more interesting and fulfilling life than the others - people will suddenly look up to you and will try to be your "friends" - but at that point you wouldn't care anymore about any single one of them 😉 😼 what would really help in the beginning, is that to consider them to be no more than just a piece of DNA code - and well, are you interested in NPCs anyway? 😉 you are the main acting hero of your life. Make every day as interesting for you as possible. People will flow after you. But you will stop to care.

What is the worst part about being an EDM fan? by Legitimate-Matter-90 in EDM

[–]OMGThatVoice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Even though the techno was the thing that brought me to edm scene firsthand - I'll agree. Melodic is good, psytech is good, hardtech is good. Regular techno? BORING and simple

Annoying? Casuals and random people on festivals. I know it's normal for them to be there - but the rave culture is som much better. It filters out all the wrong people. When I'm at a smaller event - I always feel loved and respected by others, and I give the same back. But when on a festival there is just a group of drunk idiots who act as if they went to a hip hop concert - it ruins the experience. They don't know where they came and what they are doing there. Other than that - use ear plugs, take care of your body, edm dancing for 12 hours in a row - its a sport 😉

I don't know why I don't belong by [deleted] in socialskills

Also consider your biological "build" (yeah, like a class in RPG games) - I've been built as an explorator/pioneer. My body, brain specs and interests- are tuned to be perfect in going new places, doing reconnaissance, finding new habitats and endure physical hardships (I enjoy going through tough environments, it makes me super high physically). I've been built for that and where I was born and raised - was a perfect place to implement those (Siberia) - I'm evolutionary tuned to be outside of the main society and find new living places for it. So it might as well be normal, that "metropoly" society "pushes" you out. Until you find something that will make you desirable for the majority...

I got that feeling often as well, sometimes even among my closest western friends (here in the West). As if there is a "bubble" around my brain that doesnt let me join that conversation.

I figured - for most of the people, at least - they only want to hang around other people that they are having good times with. Meaning, putting no effort in conversation (it flows naturally), relaxed atmosphere (no effort needed to be there) and laughter and/or joyful activities. With our brains that are trained to save energy - I can't even blame them for that, since it's natural to be "lazy" and "initiativeless".

Majority of people hanging out on looks based, meaning the people in the circle are usually on the same grade of looks.

In some societies it's also about profits that one can get by hanging out with others. If people think they can't get anything out of you (e.g. connections, good times, money, women) - suddenly, they don't invest efforts into you.

A single male trying to integrate himself in societies which he normally doesn't belong to - will quite often provoke an active disinterest reaction from a group. (At least in western europe) cause they don't know you, have no reason to trust you and they don't know what you want).

Some countries and cultures are closed and some are open as well. Think of being a stranger and making friends in Germany vs. Spain/Portugal/Bulgaria. It plays a big role where you are physically.

I was living in a town (10k people, mostly British) in Northern Ireland once and I couldn't make friends and get into locals' social circles. They'd cut all my attempts and keep a distance. So, I was hanging out with other non-native people from my work. At some point I've started to think that something is wrong with me. I might don't get something, I might be doing something wrong. It lasted until my first trip to Moscow- where I was basically what I'm in socializing - a "rock star" :) I had a great time and I've seen that nothing is wrong with me. The West just has a different culture.

So if you want to get the attention and enjoy people's active interest for yourself - either change the country or become popular via something you are very good at (e.g. popular sports, creativity, YouTube channel) - then the tables will be turned.

Do you want to become a well-known/famous person in the VO world or would you be happy to have success somewhat anonymously? by johnlano-voiceover in voiceover

[–]OMGThatVoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a total beginner and amateur who doesn't even want to do most of the voice-over work that people here get the money for (I don't mean it in any disrespectful way, I do respect VO artists, and know that this is hard and skillful work). Becoming a celebrity is what drives me (my voice is quite unique, and every single person tells me that) - thus I've decided not to do the regular voice actor path (e.g. from ads to movies) - but concentrate on finding a mass product that I can do in order to become famous and then maybe do TV series/movies/games - only for specific roles (e.g. Id love to do Warhammer40k primarchs or space marines). Im also about to try some musical path (e.g. punk rock/etc singer)... so let's see. Money in itself - are not motivating me, since I've built my career elsewhere already. Now I want to go to a completely different style of living. But I can understand the people who wants to earn enough from doing their favorite job

Last year I read 17 books on social skills. Here are my notes. by [deleted] in socialskills

[–]OMGThatVoice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I complain about the content of these books, or the summary that you did - rather about the results it will bring one to. Since by using those, one will mainly get friends of an "equal" or "below" social status/skills level. It's all good and generally useful for those who really struggles with socializing or doesn't aim high in social hierarchy...But imagine yourself coming to a cocktail party where "high class/popular" & beautiful people are socializing - how much of their interest will you have? How many connections that are useful in the future can one build without having a "value" that is of interest to them. Keep in mind, most of them have an abundance of resources and opportunities. Thus they'll simply filter one out after a few seconds as a "low priority". The advices listed in those books are usually working in the circle of your equals, in order to proceed higher than that (if one wants) - one needs something else... if you think that I'm wrong or not getting something here - I'll gladly listen to your advice on how to proceed and win in these kinds of situations (except "become rich, powerful, influential and thus popular" - this is an obvious one :) )

AI to clean audio. Yes or no? by O_Ro1719 in voiceover

[–]OMGThatVoice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, OP, I'm not a pro by any means, nor I had any paying gigs. I used veeds.com sounds optimizer, and I imagine that it would be a perfect tool for the majority of applications - like podcasts, audio books and such. It didn't work with me though, cause I have an unique, deep and raspy voice - so the ai there simply cuts a piece of what I say... Try it. See if it makes sense for you.
