Man pathetic is not the word you should be using. Especially if you're trying to build yourself up. Listen brother if you're pushing yourself and you're aiming to be better then you gotta build up that self confidence. You know what they say "A man does not walk the same river twice for he is not the same man and it is not the same river".

Now listen up brother you gotta get those gains and never give up on yourself because you are worth it. It's not about many hits you take before you get knocked down, its all about getting knocked down again and again and refusing to stay down. If you progress even just a little bit everyday eventually you'll look back and be like, dang that was me? Believe in yourself or atleast believe in the me that believes in you my dude.

Thank you Fam..I utterly appreciate you
I will!
 
Oh, CD and record stores are fun! That's a shame they didn't have much of a range of things. There's some here that sell new and used, so you get a nice variety of all eras, especially 80s, which has seemed pretty big, as of late :p

Also, it is nice to see ya around, Mr. Deer! I gotta say, I miss your posts, and hope you're doing well...and I owe ya a PM, just gotta stop being lazy...I blame the heat!
Oh, Sorry I hadn’t responded! Was out camping :p . The heat has been terrible! 105 the other day. So I can’t blame ya :p

I really need to get around to posting here some more!

Hi, I am a bit shy! How do I open up a bit more?

One thing that helped me years ago was learning the under appreciated skill of not caring. If you care too much about what other people think you’ll spend more time choked up and thinking about what to say next then you will actually talking.

Yes, filter yourself a little bit. Don’t insult people or make them feel stupid, but also don’t be afraid to say something sharp or funny at the risk of embarrassing yourself. The best goal I ever had was to be able to say anything without getting embarrassed.

After that, talk to people about what’s going on around you. Relate to a situation. Have a horrible teacher? Does a job suck? Did somebody just spill a drink all over themselves? Most likely other people are noticing the same things you are, so just make a remark about it to someone around you. Then, build off from that and ask them questions that pertain to you as well, like, ‘how did you do on that last test?’ Or ‘how do you do this/that’ or ‘have you ever spilt something like that before? I know I have.’ After some practice, you’ll become a pro at pointing out conversation points around you.

If you can get past the fear of what people think of you, then you’ll be on your way to being more social. Unless you act like a complete jerk or act awkwardly flirty then you should be fine

I hate to say this but is a little more complicated than that, I have a few minor trust issues with new people due to negative experiences in the past.

Yeah I've been through that too. Just remember not everyone you talk to has to become a friend. Sometimes it's nice to have acquaintances around to talk to or back you up in a situation.

Is it a social issue your dealing with or an issue with forming deeper personal relationships?

Unfortunately it's both. Sometimes I suffer from anaxity when trying to engage in a group conversation or trying to find a new companion to be friends with.

Yeah making companions can be more difficult and takes time. All friends start off as acquaintances though. Yah gotta start with observive small talk and build from there. I know it sounds generic, but that's how it be.

I guess I should try being more open minded to other subjects I am not always interested in, So do I need to compromise a little on my obsession of my favourite subjects?

Yeah, definitely. When I first started working on this the only things I talked about were things that pertained to me, but now years later I can talk about anything (whether I'm particularly interested in it or not) for hours. I usually do this by asking other people questions about subjects they care about. Asking questions shows interest, and interest can sometimes go both ways.
