The best way to meet people...

Just don't think there's something wrong with being yourself.

People aren't all as confident as they seem. Just because they can manage words doesn't mean they aren't yelling "WHY DID YOU SAY THAT!?" at themselves inside their head, but they learn to keep going, "play it off", no matter how absurd things get.


For me parties are interesting - I can be social if i have to be & with my voice attention finds me even if i don't want it to, but I don't go expecting to walk away having met someone that will want to talk to me again. Especially when I enjoy & prefer sitting in so much more.

I think when Uni rolls around your problems will float away

am I supposed to just say "Hey, do you play Starcraft?"

Exactly...& its because of this that I'm so happy for the internet and services like xbox live. If I can spend hours rolling a katamari & can find someone to share that childish obsession with there's no easier way.

School is so random.....I'd constantly lose myself just looking around at all these faces at their desks in this room....but I used it as an opportunity to share interests. In high school I started an anime club & met so many genuinely interesting people it blew my mind

I know people are not as confident as they seem, it's just that I like to solve my problems by tackling them head on, which doesn't seem to work particularly well in this case, anyway I'm sure I'll figure out a better way eventually, and thanks for all the advice and stuff.

i don't have a lot of close friends. i have a lot of acquaintances. in high school, and now in college, i am the guy that people talk to when they are bored and want a laugh. one reason ive heard from people on why they aren't serious friends with me, is that i am never serious. i see good in all people, i am very welcoming, and don't get mad a lot. when something serious has happened to someone or someone in their family, i try making them feel better. i dont want to fight, i just want to make people laugh. maybe it is also that i don't like talking on the phone or texting. i like talking in person.

Uni is a good place to make amends. Life reset FTW (As long as you move far away enough). A bit of confidence, a good sense of humour and saying "YES" to everything (Unless it SERIOUSLY goes against your values) goes a long way

I should know, "starting again" at university was one of the most difficult social obsticles i have come across yet

It definitely seems like a good place to try but I find it hard to get exited for yet another restart, they're always really dull and learning people's faces and names is so hard but it's not that big a deal when you've done it more than 10 times, it's just like a minor annoyance, like moving from a place that you didn't really know all that well to a new one which you don't know and don't know anybody in, would be annoying but the last place was just like that too so it doesn't really matter, well, I guess this time I will try because for the first time I'm staying in one place for more than a year, which means this time I have enough time to get to know people which might be good, now that I put it that way it does sound a little exiting, though I do wonder if staying so long in one place will get boring quickly since there will be no change in scenery, well it can't be too bad I guess.

Step 1: Turn off the computer!
Step 2: Walk outside.
Step 3: Locate a bar.

Lol..again..If i were the type to hang out/drink at a bar It'd be a great place to "oick up" friends but If it weren't my scene (which it isn't) - I'd want nothing to do with the people

I met 2 people in line waiting for Mass Effect & we've been playing multiplayer religiously. They're actually fairly interesting people (which is saying alot as I consider myself a snob as it pertains to what dictates an "interesting" personality).

Most of my closest friends I've met through my interests...& Id want it no other way :3

I've met my friends through school and university. Mostly have been by chance so I don't really know how I gained them as friends.

 

[The .50 Caliber Cow]

To get laid? The bars around universities. To meet someone you want to stick with?

...

I'll get back to you on that one.
