What happens if you do them at the same time?

Is it called Samming?

Oh no, I've been generally more optimistic (albeit taking my current reality with a grain of salt) lately as well. In fact, I'm slightly less cynical than before I started school.

So basically, I've been cynicaller :haha:

Same here

I was never really a socially awkward person. It was more that I was just indifferent to anything. And didn't really care. Like, I can talk to anyone and usually have a good conversation, and I never worried about having to like talk in front of a class or whatever. In fact, I'm quite good at that.

I just have a way more positive outlook lately and it's giving me way more confidence to be outgoing and sociable. It just makes most of your experiences much better. And a few years ago I started to get really cynical which I hate now and am so glad I've stopped that.


Also, on a different note, I have this pretty cool class this semester. It's called "Criminology Goes To The Movies." It was just an elective I picked up, but the textbook has all the same stuff as a regular criminology textbook but it incorporates a movie into each chapter that relates to the subject. Like the one chapter we have to watch Taxi Driver, and others are Frankenstein, Psycho, Traffic, and about 7 more.

I'm really looking forward to it.

I used to have really bad social anxiety and I'm still kinda getting over it.

The biggest problem with it is that it was never something that anyone actually told me was a problem, I kinda just accepted it as part of myself, which obviously didn't motivate me to change my behavior at all.

And my parents and few friends and acquaintances would often just shrug it off, saying 'he's just shy, that's the way he is'. And I think that's the case for a lot of people that have anxiety of any sort. No one ever tells you to just fuckin deal with it and go make shit happen.

But on the other hand, I still think it's hilarious when someone says, 'I have really bad social anxiety' twenty minutes into a conversation because I'd put good money on your anxiety not being as bad as you think, if it's something that you readily admit to people you barely know.


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - Grungie - 09-26-2013

I used to have some social anxiety, but after going into college and having to not only do in class presentations, but also calling around and going to offices and getting registration stuff done, it's making me a lot more open with talking in public.

So I guess I just needed to get used to being around people, instead of being a social recluse like I was for a good bit of high school.


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - WCPhils - 09-26-2013

Like I would say I'm kinda shy, but I don't really equate that with social anxiety.

I don't really love being the center of attention (in some circumstances it's ok though) but when the time comes I don't get upset about it or anything. I'm just kinda like "ok, I have to do this." I'm a fairly quiet person in real life, and am not going to be the guy cracking jokes in a classroom or whatever. If people want to talk to me that is no problem but I never really went out of my way to make conversation with people.

Like I said, that's changing a little, and I'm being more outgoing (which I'm enjoying), but I still think I'm a pretty quiet and reserved person.

^ Yea, most things about college pretty much make you do that stuff.


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - JCizzle - 09-26-2013

I'm for the most part the same. Like, being here has helped me, but I don't know how I'd behave if I was just immediately put into a completely different environment.


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - wwf - 09-26-2013

phils: yeah that's pretty much how i am now, for the most part.

but i used to be genuinely scared when i had to talk to others my age.

i'm still occasionally kinda awkward but awkward and anxious are two different things entirely.


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - BobSacamano - 09-26-2013

I still suck at making conversation sometimes. I suppose I'm still awkward in that sense. And I'm still pretty quiet and don't like being the center of attention, I'm best in small groups. Honestly I'm pretty awkward when I'm the center of attention too. Like this hilarious guy at my lunch table always kinda puts me om the spot to say something funny and I always say something dumb because all of a sudden the attention gets put on me and I'm not ready for that.

Actually I don't like talking at lunch at all really. Not because I'm anxious about anyone, I'm pretty close with almost everyone at both of my tables, besides one girl I hate more than anything. I just hate having to yell to be heard. It makes me stumble on words and I always gotta repeat myself to be heard and the loudness just kinda puts me on edge. Never works out well.


RE: 2 pɐǝɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɔ - Grungie - 09-26-2013

I think it's one of those things you just need to force yourself into, and the more you do it, the more comfortable you are with being more social.
