If you're like me, and don't talk to much. Then this thread is for you.

Getting by life is hard when you get nervous around others, so heres some advice, When talking don't make more then one sentence, and if someone explains something to you just reply with one or two words. Also if you have to say something or want to agree with the other person use words they used in their sentences, I find this helps.

Also, watch out for groups of people. This is where socializing is at it's hardest. Especially when they are ones you've never met. When ever I hang out with my friend and he invites people over I just make an excuse to leave. Believe me you better do this or get stuck being the only person who doesn't talk.

Now I don't know about woman, but I don't find it neccassary to engage in coversation with them. It's not hard usually they don't talk to you if you don't start talking first. Very handy to know, one other thing I realized is if you have socializing problems AVOID smoking pot around others. This can damage your conversation skills dramatically. Usually it gets to the point where you don't talk at all cause you zone out, and then when you wanna say something you wouldn't, because you've been sitting there not saying anything in the group for over a hour or two. This is why I always avoid groups.

Also, dress normally. Make as least reasons for people to talk to you as possible, wearing headphones helps to. One time a girl talked to me on the bus I had a panic attack and had to get off the bus at the next stop.. waited 45 mins for the next one, this is why headphones are a must when using public transportation.

When shopping or in stores, just use please and thank yous and Byes. Thats all you really need. Post your tips here to.

Be an emo/goth and sit in the dark all the time...Never leave the room. Can anybody be more un-social?!

Sadly, I'm being serious here..

Thanks for the advice. You rock dudette.

OP, terrible fucking advice.

Ecstacy.

OP, so your advice is on how to avoid social interactions?

Who the hell would want that and why?

All the "loners" that I know personally would love it if someone (esp. if this someone is a hot chic) engaged them in a stimulating conversation.


If you get panic attacks from social interaction, it's best to force yourself into conversations, to get the relevant skills.

And the best thing in that case is to get engaged in conversations with strangers / people you don't see on everyday basis. Because in that case
a). You've seen them for the first time, so awkwardness = 0 (compared to trying to talk to someone you see every day but have never spoken a word to, well, for me at least)
b). You don't have any pre-made assumptions about each other (or they are minimal), and you probably won't see each other again, and nothing depends on the conversation, so it can make you feel more free.
c). Them approaching you for a conversation boosts your confidence (well, if it's low). Especially if it's a hot gal, obviously.

Thus OP = fail.

But, since the OP has a right for his thread, I'll give him the advice he asks for:

Don't shave, don't shower, don't wash your clothes, don't get haircuts. That should solve your problem, kthxbi.

I seriously hope this is some sort of un-funny attempt at satire.

This makes me sad. You sound like I did before I realized instead of being terrified of other people it was easier to not give a flying fuck about them. =(
