How to everything

If you find one that you especially like, post it here for us too.

I loved the one of How to give a man to man hug, but I've posted it twice on WP already, so I'll spare it from you this time.

ATTENTION: I repeat: the link happens to be to that woman's video, but I meant for you guys to browse the videos and find the ones that interest you personally. That one is certainly one of the poorer ones they have (too exaggerated).

is this chick aspie

dunno what she talkin but sounds cute

unrealistic stuff here guy

she was really welcoming tho

i wouldve came inside too

I'd just have asked her to continue talking about the sulphites in the wine because it sounds fascinating. So I'd have probably discussed a lot of biochemistry with her for hours because I'm actually interested in and have studied those subjects in far too much detail. I'd forget her bad comment and we'd just discuss the molecular structure and preservatives in the wine over a glass of tap-water.

I'd have just laughed the whole thing off and been grateful that anyone was taking the trouble to talk to me at all and invite me in.

I'd have laughed because she reminds me of several people, family and friends I've known and loved a lot who genuinely mean no harm at all, but just can't keep things to themselves and need to know everyone else's business. They still have lots of friends and they've been successful though. Others just learn to deal with them. She is mild compared to some of those people, really mild.

Some people I've known have said:
"I'm the bestest! I'm super me. Look at what I've done! This'll show them! I'm so wonderful."

Hence, I'm very used to behaviour like this so it really doesn't bother me.
Without awkward people like this, life would be very boring and lonely for me indeed!

I find this kind of subversiveness wonderfully refreshing. I guess it's because I'm so used to close some relatives/friends talking like this all the time. I could appreciate why other people might find those people irritating and downright intrusive, but I've had to cope with it for most of my life! If I say something to these people I never hear the end of it: the solution? Don't say anything that might be used against you in the future!

Frankly, aside from ruining the dress and her talking about diseases I'd never catch, but would read about in textbooks I don't see exactly what's wrong with her. I see no deliberate malicious intent in her at all. If there had have been I would have been out of that door. She reminds me so much of a few people that I have to see/live with on a regular basis that I would have tactfully forgiven her: I'm too soft for my own good I know.

In situations like this it's just best to be good humoured and laugh it off because that's what I have to do in real life with real scatterbrains. No joke. I come from a background where brutal honesty is valued (in a comic way) so this skit doesn't seem strange to me at all, in fact it seems strangely familiar. Oh and all that other social stuff she talked about I'd never get involved with, ever.

Wow, these are great videos! I really liked the 'How Can I Look More Approachable'. I've been told for years that my body language says something other than what I feel. It's hard for me to even make friendly acquaintances, because apparently, I never look approachable to others. Now I know some good tips on correcting that when I'm in a situation that's important.

Thanks for sharing Greentea!

Thanks for posting this. I could see how "acting like you know everything" can be really irritating. That's something I'm working on. I should watch the rest of those videos! I'll share them with others, too.

OMG SHES TOTALLY ASPIE!! !

i really tried to like her, but i would surely have decked her within about ten seconds.

i didn't find her presentation very AS at all - contrary to some other posters, (not that this was the issue at all in the vid.)

she seemed flaky and social to me, with a bit of a problem with overdisclosure. the latter did not annoy me at all. i was not at all perturbed by it.
i WAS distressed by her flightiness and her voice and her demeanour.

I was not annoyed by her communication of the successful promotion. In fact i think it is hilarious how many people adhere to the social "rule" - that states WE MUST NOT CELEBRATE OUR ACHIEVEMENTS as human beings. We MUST feign Christian "humility," shut the f**k up about anything good that happens in our lives and refrain from the mere mention of any achievements grand or small. baaa - baaa.

There are many videos, I didn't mean to post one in particular...

Blatantly blunt topic

Hilarious. Dominating the conversation Exaggerated.

I have never met any adult like this. This woman acts more like a teenager in a high school washroom, complaining about the girls in the "unpopular" group.

Good one, Greentea.

I thought it was a joke? But then, I saw that particular 'How to Lose Friends And Alienate People' video first and I didn't realise that the site in question also has what seem to me to be more bona-fide instructional videos!!

I still think it's meant to be taken as a joke though and not an actually serious thing? I mean, if you really wanted to lose friends and alienate people then you wouldn't be nice to the person while insulting them, surely you wouldn't care about being nice??

This is one of those situations where I wonder if I am putting too much or too little into trying to understand.

Greentea!! Did you see? Ephemerella just posted! http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt92508.html

Thought you might like to know

Thank you, mitharatowen! I'm really glad she's around!

It's funny, in some ways she sounds a little aspie.

I love the man hug one, I laughed and laughed!! !
