I have poor social skills. How about you?
 
:(.

Glice 01.03.2011 01:07 PM

Pretty good, as it happens. Though others may say differently. I have to say, for internet weirdos, the people I've met from this forum have been relatively well-adjusted.

There's nothing a lobotomy can't fix.

floatingslowly 01.03.2011 01:12 PM

it depends upon the context and how many variables I wish to manipulate.

hexediting sectors.

knox 01.03.2011 01:13 PM

no, i'm pretty bad.

Derek 01.03.2011 02:07 PM

My problem is just having a hatred for everyone basically. Is that poor social skills?

Yes. Your condition is also known as "sanity."

I don't believe in the realness of others.
Sociality is the shadow of my expanding mind.

_slavo_ 01.03.2011 02:18 PM

i don't have good social skills, especially when hung over. glice and jon boy can tell, they met me in this state of mind.

I guess it depends on who I have to deal with. There are people I can easily connect to and there are others I simply can't connect to at all. And the answer to the question "Introverted or extroverted?" may vary from person to person, it all depends on who you ask.

jennthebenn 01.03.2011 02:59 PM

To answer the actual question...I have to plead ignorance. Those who
know me could give a clearer picture.

noisereductions 01.03.2011 03:43 PM

try washing the paint of yr face.

Genteel Death 01.03.2011 03:50 PM

It all depends on how much I've had to drink.

nicfit 01.03.2011 03:56 PM

I'm really shy with girls I don't know and that I find interesting, unless they're the kind of girl who'd drink from your biodegradable papercup full of red wine instead of beer because you explicitly asked for that cup when in line for a drink at a festival instead of using the plastic glasses.

I'm pretty good with people I kinda like.
I'm not that good with people I find uninteresting on every level.
Selfish twat.
But sometimes I find myself IN NEED of being alone, even at awkward moments like at parties or when I'm out drinking something with friends, then I become nervous and go home usually.
and they think I'm an asshole and girls text me asking if I'm allright etc, and I don't reply coz I don't want to have "social interactions" in those moments and they get worried bu then they understand.
And so on.
So, yes and no, I'd rather be the dj than dancing with others on the dancefloor. But djs can make people happy too.

this is like i heard myself talking.
i think we're alike in this territory, only with the difference that i have these "phases" of year or life or whatever ... i don't know how they work or how i can predict them but sometimes i feel quite at ease around people and even can sense myself being charming to people, but other times i just feel awkward or even stupid around people and tend to loathe them.
the capricorn's fate, perhaps.

deflinus 01.03.2011 04:55 PM

if i can find some kind of subject or topic i can agree upon with someone, i'm not bad. otherwise, i suck at socializing

gast30 01.03.2011 06:06 PM

if i'm into my art or study of something, for some time, i need to pull myself out and get back to normal life and 'try' to socialize
mostly about that time years have passed
and it takes some orientation

i like a large amount of freedom
to socialize or not

SpaceCadetHayden 01.03.2011 11:04 PM

I'm a mother fucking social butterfly.

alteredcourse 01.03.2011 11:57 PM

nicfit and slavo, you're both capricorns? I relate to all that, I'm a cap also.

I've read that its because we're only interested in people that really excite us (while, if you could imagine, there are people who will indulge boring assholes just because they....I dont even know.)

I get extremely anxious if I'm in a group setting (I dont go to parties) because conversation tends to be meaningless and it feels like the fur on my back is being petted backwards.

Not to say I cant do chit chat here and there....I dont know. I cant examine those moments right now.

If you mean theese phases can be longer than just a moment/a few days, well, I have them too, kinda got out of a long one a few months ago.

alteredc, yep, we were born on "consecutive days", 22-23 dec, same year (I don't "believe" in astrology etc, but it could be an interesting case study for some hehe).
