SAME HERE. Unfortunately, few women are interested. 8-( Based on my interviewees, less than .4% of those interested are women.

Another thing that has happened to me recently I now find it really easy to interact with people doesn't matter who the person is I have noticed in discussion groups this week I have contributed alot at my band practice last night I joined in more with the jamming and making jokes about everyone else's playing we joke at each others playing and I was joinning in last night (for the first time). I have been playing in this band for 5 years now I play keyboard and was always described as shy and quiete but not last night.

Next week my mum goes on holiday for a week I use to love my own company but I am not looking forward to all those hours on my own. I'm starting to hate the quiet. I am meeting people in the evenings next week and my work is closed all next week and I have got LONG days on my own until the evening.

What do you think.

This has been going on since I have stopped having meltdowns.


Hey Phisto what did you do? Join Toastmasters or something? :lol:

Whether or not you have the tic it looks to me like you somehow overcame a big hurdle that we all commonly share out here.

Congratulations!

:D

Me too. And I hate it also when somebody doesn't have interests at all, doesn't matter much whether somebody's interests are like my own ones (at least to some extent) or not but I can't stand it when there's a person who doesn't know anything because I simply don't have the slightest idea what I should talk to that person about. There are only three girls in my school that I know whose brains are something more than only big, useless pieces of dead meat.

Once, I remember, I was going home and one girl (a stupid one, I must add) joined me and I got into a panic - "what I'll talk to her about" and finally I amused her talking to her about various funny facts concerning sexual life of animals - my companion was laughing hoarsily and making vulgar comments and I was happy that we found common ground :twisted: .

During most lessons it's mostly I who talk to a teacher because other students don't know many facts, even those basic ones and they are suprised how I came know about some things. Well, my dear ones, I don't force you to read and acquire knowledge, to enrich your personality and have opinions that are your own ones, not based on what your peers think. :roll: Once our psychopedagogy teacher told us to prepare sheets of paper and write down our names on them - they went round and each student had to write what she (there's only one boy in my group) liked about a person whose name is on. As it turned out, ALL the people wrote on my sheet that the best thing about me is that I never pay attention what others may think about me and my opinions are unbiased.
