RE: 2 pÉÂÇÂɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɆ- crazysam23 - 11-14-2014 (11-14-2014, 04:38 AM)WCPhils Wrote: It was more that I was just really mad at myself for how it went. I doubt she even thought it was weird, or even remembers it. Which is kind of worse in a way, lol. Like I had it all planned out and just.... blehhhhhh.In my experience, it helps if you don't plan it out. It's more natural that way. Feels less forced. And less awkward. RE: 2 pÉÂÇÂɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɆ- WCPhils - 11-14-2014 Yea, that came out wrong (poor wording). Meant more about just what I was saying at the time. It wasn't that I was planning something out beforehand. Just happened to run into her while heading towards the parking lot. And like I said, it probably wasn't horrible. Just was kinda the straw that broke the camel's back in regards to how I've been feeling lately. Idk, I know I sound so fucking lame right now, but I can't help it. I should just go to bed. RE: 2 pÉÂÇÂɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɆ- carlcockatoo - 11-14-2014 @Phils: I have a recent story like that too. Not in the same way but still lol. There's this girl I went to high school with who has a class next room over from me at roughly the same time. We were never really friends but we knew each other and got along fine. So when we see each other it's like "holy fuck someone I knew in high school awkward" but since we were never really friends we can't really just strike up conversation or anything. We both pull our phones out and ignore eye contact at all costs. One day I decided to joke about it and she was like 'wtf' so then I was like 'never mind bye' and I made it even worse. :/ RE: 2 pÉÂÇÂɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɆ- JCizzle - 11-14-2014 That's really weird. Not trying to brag or anything (seriously, that's not my point), but I met loads of people at my first college that I knew from high school but wasn't totally friends with. The fact we met outside of high school actually kind of made it less awkward to chat up -- we already sort of knew each other, so what the heck. Of course, oftentimes it turned out to be small talk, but I would occasionally talk to these people when say, we were both waiting for a class. It's kind of funny because one of these people I would eventually also meet working at a billiards bar my friends would occasionally go to. All this to say that it's interesting how the mentalities in our respective homelands tend to be rather different. RE: 2 pÉÂÇÂɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɆ- Hank Hill - 11-14-2014 Well, since we're on the topic, how about a fun fact? I literally have no friends. I literally go to work, say hi to a few people, do my job and go home. Every. Single. Day. Been this way my whole life. I don't socialize well. Or, at all. Female, male, doesn't matter. I pretty much keep to myself and don't say hi to anyone unless they say hi to me. Those are probably the only people I talk to, besides fellow employees I work with. But even then, I don't talk even remotely as comfortably as I do online. Pretty much the exact opposite. If someone tries, I can keep up with a decent, regular conversation. Like, how was your weekend? What did you do for so and so? Have any plans for blah blah blheeeee. Would I like to go out to a party with friends? Sure. But the whole zero socializing makes it hard to make friends I'd be comfortable doing it with. Only when I am online as such now, can I express everything I'm thinking. Almost no one (with the exception of this one group of friends I once knew with which we tried to start a band but failed miserably, lel) I've met face to face knows how different of a person I am online. As to why I'm like this, I really don't have any idea. I know it's something that should definitely be fixed, but despite all that, I still stay quite happy. I don't even know how in the world I manage to stay happy with all that in the back of my mind. I mean, I get really super depressed sometimes, but not too often. If I do, sometimes I just need a day or two and I'm back to normal. Again, I don't know what it is. Idk, maybe I'm not as bothered by loneliness as everyone else is. But I'm happy. And that's all that matters, imo. And that's why I really value online friendships. I love you all <333 Of course, it comes at the cost of a real life waifu. ;_; RE: 2 pÉÂÇÂɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɆ- Danjo - 11-14-2014 Well man, I'm glad we can be your friends on here. WWF, I know that feel. I basically find it impossible to talk to anyone unless I actually have something to talk about. Like I can't just walk up to someone I don't really know and be like "Hey, hows it going?". I can only do it if some situation happens where it makes sense for me to talk to them. For instance if I'm at a party and I'm standing next to a girl when her drunk friend starts trying to climb over the wall in the backyard, I can start talking to her while I try to help her convince her friend its a bad idea. (This actually happened by the way.) Or like if I'm someone's lab partner or something, although that one doesn't always work. RE: 2 pÉÂÇÂɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɆ- WCPhils - 11-14-2014 I'm terrible at making new friends. My friends I have I've had for years. (And I'm happy with them, not trying to say I'm not) I always just think everyone dislikes me and once I start getting to know someone I cut it off or just don't let it evolve beyond just joking around at work or school. It's terrible and I don't know why I do it. Like I was just talking to these two guys in my class today who I'm "school friends" with (you know, never really hang out outside of school) and mentioned how I think I come across really shy and awkward. And they basically said it's the opposite. And I've heard the same thing literally dozens of times from different people. It's just weird how our self perception can be so vastly different than how others perceive us. I've always been like this though. In highschool I didn't play basketball one year, and I figured no one would care or notice because I wasn't great or anything. And right after I did it, I had a bunch of different guys I would play with come up and ask me why and say they really missed me at practices and stuff. How I see myself is something I've desperately trying to improve. I think it's because up until a fairly recently I was so anxious/depressed, and kind of overweight since I finished highschool. Now I'm thankfully feeling happier and am actually in really good shape (still in progress though.) But I still just see myself as that other guy. My face is thinned out and I look older, my shoulders are broader, I stand tall, and I dress a lot better, but I still always think everyone just sees this kinda dorky unathletic looking dude. My own reflection actually surprises me sometimes, as corny as that sounds, lol. So basically I feel like it's a lot easier to change how others see us, but it's a lot harder to change how we see ourselves. So yea, sorry for making this all so depressing, but it's just something that's been bothering me. I'm waiting for Thrash to come in and call me a bitch :p (11-14-2014, 03:50 PM)Danjo Wrote: Well man, I'm glad we can be your friends on here.yes, this exactly RE: 2 pÉÂÇÂɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɆ- carlcockatoo - 11-14-2014 (11-14-2014, 01:22 PM)JoelCarli Wrote: All this to say that it's interesting how the mentalities in our respective homelands tend to be rather different. rich people land is very anti-social unless it's the beverly hills type of rich people land. Leaving your house after seven o clock, actually using the sidewalk, associating with 'thugs' (aka anyone not white or upper-class), and doing anything in public (i.e. not in your home, office building, etc. So basically nothing on the streets or in a similar public place) is strictly forbidden. Not her individually but this is the social norm in my neighbourhood. I'm so fucking glad I'm gone most of the time now. still my style of self-aware humor is usually appreciated, regardless of how cold everyone else here is. They just can't take that I'm the only real personality up here. Yeah I feel you Phils. I have a few 'school' friends and that's it, excluding my few friends in my old state as I always say. I recently went over to someone else house but we just did school work lol. I'm also the opposite of you, Hank. Talking to people in real life is so easy for me now (despite cases like this where they don't want to talk lol). I'm a boring prick online though. My friend and his family (his parents treat me like a son sometimes it's crazy) offered for me to move back to my old city. Not sure how I feel about that since I have very strong impulses going both ways.

Or what? I'm just trying to figure out whether you were just having issues coming up with "witty stuff" when you met her, or if you had pre-determined to say a few things. I don't need to know what you were planning to say, tbh, especially if you don't feel like sharing. RE: 2 pÉÂÇÂɹɥʇ ʎʇıunɯɯoɆ- WCPhils - 11-14-2014 I just shouldn't have said "planned." Meant it as more of an in the moment thing. Like you said with "witty stuff." Not a huge deal really :p Anyway, my brothers and I started working on our album, and it's not terrible so far. Which is shocking! |
