Do you like to people watch?

Not like being a creeper, but just observing how people interact with each other.



I've learned this past month that hanging out and observing people at the ';living room'; area of the student center at my university can be pretty dang entertaining.Do you like to people watch?
I used to have dinner in San Diego at hooters downtown ( BECAUSE THE WINGS ARE GREAT OFCOURSE!) lol

I sit outside and watch people. Saw a black guy walk up to a papermachine and set a box on top of it. He then started cussing his *** off at the box. I tripped for a minute. I walked over to the machine and started cussing at the box too. The black guy looked at me and said, ';you a psychology student too?'; I simply answered him saying'; No, Just Nutz!'; He took his box and told me i was crazy. HAHADo you like to people watch?
staring is rude :)
I Love Watching People It Entertains Me

  • How shall i improve my communication skills,i feel lot of difficulties when i interact with people.plz suggest

    i m karthik completed my B.E. i m in search of job atpresent due to lack of communication i miss lot of opportunities.so plz suggest me some positive tips to my mentioned id.How shall i improve my communication skills,i feel lot of difficulties when i interact with people.plz suggest
    Its a very common problem faced by Indian students. Well at the beginning keep a dictionary besides you, start reading a news paperand when you come across a word you dont understand, immediately you need to refer the dictionary. This is one of the traditional way. But mind you if you try to learn too many words in a single day you cant because you will forget.

    As far as the grammer is concerned there are many books available in the merket, but it doesnt make any sense just by going through the book. you need to keep communicating in english very often (may be with ur friends or family).

    The best way to increase the fluency is : When you are alone at home, stand near a mirror and keep talking with yourself (create a situation such that you feel like talking to your loved ones)How shall i improve my communication skills,i feel lot of difficulties when i interact with people.plz suggest
    u must take admission in some spoken English class so that u can change your pronunciation
    The best way to improve your communication skills is to keep talking in English everytime.Kindly don't listen to friends and talk in local languages.I know that many of your classmates may tease u in the beginning(it happens in many of the colleges at Chennai).But don't listen to them.The only way to improve is to talk.Think about your future and start talking.Don't shy away because of your friends.Keep talking........
    communicate, communicate, communicate, that the only way you can start communicating...stop being conscious first of all
    i think the best way is to watch English programs , any think like news channels , don't start directly 4m Hollywood . as we Indians r having totally different pronunciation compared to them %26amp; it may create confusion about words .

    try it ,i m sure u will get through your problem

    BEST OF LUCK
    1)always look in the other persons eyes while having conversation.

    2) try to adress them by there name.

    3) listen attentively when they are speaking.

    4)praise them when needed.

    How do I get to interact with people when I am in West Delhi,India and am kind of lazy ?

    Well don't shake their hands Make a prayer gesture and nod your yead in respect when you greet someone. Don't eat with your left hand (don't even touch your food with it) that is your wiping hand and they will think you are low class if you do. Be very respectful to the women (don't touch them) it is considered offensive to touch a woman. (they are more chased by nature) Go to the ISKCON (international society for kirshna consciousness.)temple there you will meet lots of nice people who can tell you so much. They will give you free food. They are very nice. go to stephen-knapp.c (then go to the other links section) it will have many things in India to look up. Hope this helps Read Bhagavad Gita as it is By Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada - almost everyone in India has read The Gita. It will help you understand the deep spiritual roots of India.How do I get to interact with people when I am in West Delhi,India and am kind of lazy ?

    Do you normally have the impression that people of high IQ such as 170 and above have a problem adjusting to?

    their environment?

    I have always thought that these people would have problems fitting in with their environment and interacting with people in a normal way much less becoming actors.

    I always thought that they would only want to be like you know, scientists, geeks, plenty of facts, and data all the time.

    I have heard of some actors who are extremely intelligent but i am just surprised at how normal they really are.



    What do you think?Do you normally have the impression that people of high IQ such as 170 and above have a problem adjusting to?
    Actually, research shows that people with high IQ tend to be more socially involved and popular. I was shocked to learn that too, because I think we all have the image of a geek, but it's just not true. there are of course, exceptions to every rule.Do you normally have the impression that people of high IQ such as 170 and above have a problem adjusting to?
    Intelligence is not everything. Environment is crucial to mental health. Highly intelligent people seem to walk the fence between madness and brilliance. Some, such as Van Gogh, managed both. I only have the impression they cannot adjust if they come in for treatment and tell me that is the case or if their suicide was on purpose rather than an accidental overdose.
    what makes you think that 170 is high? i don't think i had a problem adjusting and i have been a mensa member since 1976

    How to interact with people?

    I'm not really sure on the question but talking is a good start. Sometimes, if your a particularly shy person, chatting over msn, or something like that can make it easier because you feel more open to express your emotions without the awkwardness of actually having to face people.

    I want to make net friends, But, tell me please how can i know the genuineness of the people I interact with?

    Just I want views of you people. How can I know that the person I am interacting with , is true and reliable. People want friendship on net but atleast I should be smart enough to know their genuineness. do you agree? Give me your views please .I want to make net friends, But, tell me please how can i know the genuineness of the people I interact with?
    There is no direct way to spot a liar unless you get to know them, and for that communication is key. Get them to talk about themselves, and listen to them. I believe that no matter what story it is, once you choose to share it with someone, a caring person is always attentive and always has the time. Talk to them, by email or chat on a frequent basis and see if they always seem happy to answer or if they apologize when they can't do it right away.



    After a while you can use a webcam if you haven't already, but I prefer to use voice chat or talk on the phone first. The tones in their voices and how much time they take to answer is a lot more significant.



    Don't be discouraged, while it's true that it's easy for some people to lie about themselves when befriending online, others find easier to open up. Always remind them that you like honesty above anything else, and be patient, true friends are always hard to find, regardless of where it takes place, whether it's the hyperspace or the physical one.



    Best of luck to you.I want to make net friends, But, tell me please how can i know the genuineness of the people I interact with?
    It isn't easy to tell if someone is telling you the truth or if they are in fact the person they say they are, if the person says they are a young female talking to you, when really they maybe a old pervert, I guess the best advice I could give you is unless you really know them do not take anything they say as the truth, just be weary of what your saying and never give out your real name address phone numbers etc, hope this helps
    well...to me there are 4 steps that need to be met ..in order to really know about if a person I meet on the net is genuine.....

    1. need to feel at ease and free when I chat with him / her on the net.

    2.after so many weeks or months..we exchange phone ##..I call and ,

    all as we talk..about things etc..all that he / she said ..mentioned before on chat ..is in agreement .

    3. must ..before meeting her ...need to see her on web cam first!!

    this will be a go or no go ..as simple as that .

    4. and for the final step...we meet at a public place..restaurant etc.

    and all that we talked about before should agree....for the last thing I want to hear is that she / he is married and with wife and kids..at this stage....for if you hear that ..here..you did not ask or probe the person properly.
    It's the unknown, there really isn't a way to tell if the person you are talking to is who they say they are. I would imagine alot of people lie about who they are. Just be safe, don't give out personal information about yourself :)
    making frnds through net is upto some extent, ok. but what is assurance u get that all are sincere.and i dnt think that smartness is not at all enough to know somebodys genuineness. its all game frnd.u may get gud frnds or else not. u ve to chat with them then try to understand and analise,get phone numbers etc., notice the voice modulation and behaviour then if ur enough lucky u ll be blessed with gud one.all the best

    How common is it to want to isolate yourself from people in general?

    Like when managment at work orders pizza and everyone sits downa and eats you don't really talk and leave rather soon after arriving. And in life you avoid interacting with people. I mean I have a job in management and make decent money but I feel like a hermit sometimes. I only hang out with my 2 best friends. Other than that Im a hermit. Whats wrong with me and who else goes through this !!How common is it to want to isolate yourself from people in general?
    Personally I enjoy a huge amount of time alone and have never been happier or more content than in the last 5 years, but even I had to decide at one point if that was what I really wanted as there was always pressure on me from people could not understand why I did not want to get out more or go socialising. Some of us are just not comfortable with being in a crowd or trying to make conversation when there is nothing to talk about. Maybe this is the way you are or maybe you are just shy or reserved.



    It sounds as if you are not happy being this way. If that is the case and you would like to interact with people more then I think you need to look at possibly some form of counselling or perhaps some kind of confidence building activity such as self defence or assertiveness training.



    I would advise counselling first to make sure that there is nothing in your past that is affecting the way you are behaving. For instance if you had an overbearing father or someone in your life kept putting you down or making fun of you when you were younger then this will obviously have an influence with how you interact with others. Perhaps you were bullied at some point or have been ripped off by someone that you trusted and this has caused you to be more reserved than you would normally be or maybe you are just changing as a person and now feel the need to have a larger circle of freinds but you are just not sure how to go about it.



    Have a talk with a counsellor or psychiatrist just to help you understand where you really are on the issue and then decide on the best thing to do for yourself.How common is it to want to isolate yourself from people in general?
    Its ok to be alone. Maybe you cant deal with people or your overly mature. theres nothing wrong with that. sometimes its better being alone. maybe you should try dating if your not married. find someone who will help you get through this or goes through the sam eproblem talk to someone if you think its serious
    i do, this is a common struggle of mine, loneliness is the common theme of my life that ive coped with since adolecence, im 29 now and dont have any friends, so i guess i qualify in knowing what loneliness and isolation is.

    its ' unwilling solitude'~ because those who are hermits, choose this, they choose to be alone. the lonely person doesnt, and either has psychological or mental health reasons as to why they cannot succesfully integrate
    i thnk its totally normal also wise 2 hang out with the people u trust.u could feel a bit drawn in bt mines a similar case n in d long run i found it useful dealing with emotional disturbances.

    bt u sure need all d help u can get in d economy or watever
    my personality is quie different from urs...i have my group or close friends, a bunch of friends, and i talk to a LOT of ppl...but odnt wrry...one of my best friends has a very similar personality to urs...she only hangs out with me and 3 other ppl...she doesn't go to my skool anymore and she hasn't made any friend there--she is totally a hermit. there is nothing wrong wiht u! its just ur personality...u may like to b by urself just to think and stuff or u may not enjoy the company of others...(I DO :) !) if u do want to have more friends then perhaps u could try and meet some new ones...if u dont really care and u dont want to meet new ppl..that's fine 2...but personally, i think its hard to get through life without friends...good luck and best wishes!!

    How do I relieve my stress/depression? It`s to the point where I can`t interact with people.?

    I`m suffering from a large amount of stress because of school, finances, and other things....I`ve noticed that I`ve developed depression from it. I refuse to talk to or see people; if people do talk to me i don`t respond or give one word answers; I have a heavy tight feeling in my chest all the time; and sometimes I get shaky. I just want to be alone. I hate to be like this beecuase normally I`m completely opposite and love having people around and talking with them. I`ve even been really rude and wont really talk to my boyfriend and i dont have urges for sex or even think about it, i feel terrible about the way i treat him but i can`t seems to control this depression/stress. Luckily he understands and lets me have my space. Please help me find ways that only invole interaction with myself and not others to relieve this.How do I relieve my stress/depression? It`s to the point where I can`t interact with people.?
    You are suffering from depression. My wife has a similar disorder and, like you, she tends to take it out on those who are closest to her and who try to be supportive.

    Fortunately, depression can be managed through counselling and medication. See your doctor and have him/her recommend a strategy. Also, there are a lot of books written on this subject. Pick up one or two and share them with your boyfriend. He needs to understand what you are going through. And he needs to know how he can help while not being an enabler.

    My wife's depression has been one of the biggest challenges of our relationship. It has changed both of us in many ways; unfortunately not always for the best (especially me). We are surviving it. But, I must tell you, I've had to do some things I would have preferred not to in order to keep myself sane. I live with that. And, so far, I also live with my wife.

    It's great that you recognize the problem. Get help. Get well. And, good luck!How do I relieve my stress/depression? It`s to the point where I can`t interact with people.?
    hi stress out, grab a bottle of water ,take a stroll by the lake, or go watch a funny movie, laughter is the cheapest stress relief besides water, have a nice soothing bath, or go for a spa treatment, it will do wonders

    How to interact with other people in a way that is sensitive to their individual needs and respect?

    Hi,

    This is something that i have to deal with everyday in my line of work. I work with adults who have mental health issues so treating them with respect and being sensitive to their needs during my interaction with them is of a high importance.



    The advice I will give you is the same I give to any new menbers of staff at my work place. Treat them as human beings, dont talk to them like a child. Always make your words clear and keep sentences short but not patronising. Make regular eye contact with them when talking but dont stare. Treat them how you would like them to treat you. Listen to what they say, and if you dont understand say sorry and ask again. Always appear interested in them, ask open questions which leads them into giving you and answer with more than two or three words. Dont fiddle with anything while your interacting, like playing ith your hair or keep putting your hands to your face. It can give off the impression your not interested and they are boring you. Smile and they will smile back at you.How to interact with other people in a way that is sensitive to their individual needs and respect?
    treat them like you would want to be treated but with respectHow to interact with other people in a way that is sensitive to their individual needs and respect?
    Treat everyone with respect, and everything else just sort of follows.
    I think the early two answers have captured my ethic . Always treat others the way you would want then to treat you

    Respect and consideration for others feelings are too easily forgotten in this modern world , its good to hear that you are one of those who still have that .

    Try not to dominate any conversation , let others have a chance too ,but make sure you are not too quiet . Its a matter of balance and most people are interested in hearing about others life experience even small day to day issues.

    I think you will be fine and am sure you won't find problems interacting with others

    How should i act in a situation where i am forced to interact with people i don't care to be around?

    i am living with some relatives right now because they happen to live near a school that i wanted to be at 3,000 miles away from home. it was very nice of them to let me live here for the time being, but i also pay as much rent as they do. i want to be treated more like a simple ROOMMATE (you do your thing, i do mine) but these relatives insist on ';mothering'; me even though i am a mature adult.



    i tried talking to them about it, and they said they can't help it because they were there the day i was born and they love me and bla bla bla. i try and just stay in my room with the door closed, but they insist on always knocking on the door to check up on me and engage me in conversations always wanting to hang out and so forth. they are also about 25-30 years OLDER than i am.



    i try to humor them and just be nice and interact, but truthfully, I WOULD RATHER BE HAVING TEETH PULLED!! now tonight i agreed to go out to dinner with them, and like always, the conversation consists of them grilling me about my life!



    i try and just give one word answers or be as curt as possible, but then there is just akward silence. i don't ask questions back because i dont even want to be there in the first place. therefore, the conversations are always one-sided and weird.



    should i pretend i am the slightest bit interested in their lives to keep the convo going, or is it okay to just sit there in silence staring at my mashed potatoes waiting for the check? i have a really hard time being fake, and i would have hoped by me just being myself, they would see that i am not interested, take a hint, and leave me alone already. instead they just try harder to gain my attention. i don't know how to go about this, and i am dreading dinner tonight :(How should i act in a situation where i am forced to interact with people i don't care to be around?
    If you are paying rent, find somewhere else to live. Find somewhere closer to school or where you work or tell them you found a cool friend adn you have decided to be roomies.



    Either way, now is a time that you need your space. You could still visit the relatives once a week for dinner to catch up, but you need some time to learn about yourself.



    You should be grateful to have them though and enjoy their company. They really do love you and you are lucky to have that. =)



    Good luckHow should i act in a situation where i am forced to interact with people i don't care to be around?
    How about telling the people that you want to go your way and not there way. And, tonight at dinner tell them to please stop asking me questions about my life. Why couldn't you ask them about there life.

    How long they have been married? and etc.

    See how they think about how it feels to be questioned all the time.

    Have them feed the puppy and give it water,so he learns that they provide his food, therefore creating a bond between them. Treats for when he gets close to them would also help.How do I get my puppy to interact with other people?
    Get your parents as well as other people to try and give treats to your mutt puppy.

    Also allow your parents to take him for walks and play with him.
    Kat is exactly right..
    It is very important you fix this quickly. You do not want a dog that is overly possessive of you. First make sure your puppy is not self feeding. He has to have set meals so that he responds to treats during training. Next make sure you or your dog walker let him meet lots of new people. When he meets new people give them a treat for him. Once he gets used to meeting lots of people when he's hungry and they give him treats he should quickly look forward to interacting with other people.

    How to avoid feeling NERVOUS when interacting with people?

    I'm a very confident and smart guy but the moment I face people, I get very self-conscious. I feel nervous while interacting with people, esp. girls. I'm just not able to talk to them.



    How do I get rid of this mental block?How to avoid feeling NERVOUS when interacting with people?
    Simple.. Always believe that you are number one. You can do anything.



    And when you meet people esp. girls always think that they are also human and can be a good friend. They are not coming from any another universe. That's it :)How to avoid feeling NERVOUS when interacting with people?
    never look in their eyes

    talk coolly

    think and speak

    think of some place beautiful while talking to girls
    I take prescription medication to over come this problem. Its called anxiety disorder and its very real. Try talking to your doctor about ways to help.
    do more reading, find some understanding on some general topics the girls discussed..but pls dun become too absorb into the topic or they'll start thinking you are one of them..


    be confident

    dnt think of others

    just interact cooly
    Always remember, don't worry be happy. First of all you should listen very calmly, then advice or reply confidently because u r right

    How to interact with people my age?

    Lately I've been feeling very very lonely. I'm 18 y.o. and I live in Israel.

    I have 2 really good friends who I meet like every week and talk with almost every day, that is because they're both in military service, while I'm not (I don't enlist).

    I love my friends very much, I feel like every time I meet with them I'm recharged, got my confidence back. But when I don't (say day after) I feel suckish and mellow. I've already graduated from HS and i'm only going to college next year (israel sucks, drop it) but till then I don't have any social interactions with ppl my age.



    I work from home and I've thought bout getting a job but I hate being employed. HATE IT!



    2 years ago I went to GLBT support group for a while, I didn't really connect there or had a positive experience. I could try again, but it just seems really distant now, and it's kinda like ';haven't I done anything for the last 2 years?!';. Also, some months ago there was a shooting in Tel Aviv at a gay community center (that's very very rare, whole nation was enraged) so that REALLY worries me.



    I live in a city suburb so I gotta take the my parents' car anywhere. But often they need it. I don't have any recreational center/animal shelter (love dogs!)/anything in a walking distance.



    I go to the gym, but even there I don't interact with anybody because I'm so scared of being awkward or w/e I have this outer appearance of ipod plugged, ';don't get near me';, and usually I'm like that too.



    What do I do to interact with ppl my age? I feel pointless even after meeting family/friends my age, it's like something is lacking. I do sports, I read, I work, barely watch TV or lie around, not lazy.



    How can I develop my social cycle? Thanks!How to interact with people my age?
    Well its good that you have friends, so that means your not completely socially awkward lol! Other than making the most of the friends you have, go to this BGLT group and see if you can build your confidence that way. Most people there probably feel the same as you so you wont be alone

    Anyway,your going to college next year so you ll have plenty of opportunity to make new friends.

    Everyone else will be new there too, so you can really show your true personality right from the start! re-invent yourself a little as this confident, sure person. Obviously keep your good traits and you'll find it wont be as difficult as it seems!How to interact with people my age?
    That's a tough one. Have you actually asked your friends in the military if they know anybody else near where you live? Sometimes it helps to spell it out simply like that, say: ';do you know anyone else around here I could meet? I get really lonely while you guys are deployed'; Word can get around and someone might turn up! You could always call and ask the same question at the the community center (I did hear about the attack, we were shocked all over the world). You can always get on some chat rooms, I know it's not the same but it is available and mostly harmless.
    My ex doctor had a house in Israel and if he was any representative, to live ther you had to be super religious. Like you said drop it. How to develop your social circle more so it is one? You can try returning to the LGBT place, but I don't think it will do much good. Okay, see your paragraph before the last? What's lacking is you don't say hi to them. Simple as that. Or hang out here and meet people.

    How do you interact with people when you get HIGH?

    Well i was just wondering how people who get high interect with certain people.. For example.. this boy in my grade gets high and someimtes he goes to school while BEING high and anyways i used to like him and while i liked him my friend texted him and asked him if he liked me and he said he kinda did and that he though i was pretty.. idk if he was high this specific day but if he was.. like do you lie when u get high? or are you truthfull? and if u say something to someone do you usually remember it when your back to normal? because a couple weeks later he started denying to me he ever said to my friend he liked me..... if that made any sense, please help! lolHow do you interact with people when you get HIGH?
    what was he high on? if it was just weed then unless he was really retarded off of it he would act normal, only more chill. you are no more truthful or dishonest than you would be sober. also he most likely remembered saying that unless there were circumstances like he'd been smoking all day or got ridiculously high that day.

    the reason he denied it later could be anything. he's ashamed, shy, said it just for fun but didn't mean it or liked you at the time but not anymore.

    since you seem to be pretty drug free i would stay away from him. either he will drag you into doing drugs eventually or you will get fed up with him doing drugs. it sounds like a waste of time.How do you interact with people when you get HIGH?
    if you are talking about high from the green plant, then rly there's mild changes to the person, which pretty much is just feeling comfortable, anything else he/she still the same.
    If he was smoking the green

    than most likely he was telling the truth :)

    How do you interact with people you just met?

    I met a few people in class. I said hi to a few people, we exchanged phone numbers, just in case we didn't come to class... There was this girl... We shared her book cuz I hadn't bought mine yet... She was kind, we got along good... I went to class yesterday and she acted like we had never met. I saw her, so I smiled and was about to say hi... but she looked the other way lol... I thought ';wow... oh well whatever.'; So I sat down did my work, took notes and headed out... We didn't say hi or anything. My reasoning was ';She isn't interested to be my friend. I'll respect her wishes.';



    What bout you? how do u act with new people, ones u just met?How do you interact with people you just met?
    everyone gets an instant ';A';. maybe there was something going on with her that day. I would have approached her and asked her what was wrong. That way you're not living your life on assumptions :-)How do you interact with people you just met?
    I'll say hi to them

    How to interact with service people?

    What are the politics of interacting with service people? I always feel such pangs of guilt, and I don't know what to do.



    Please help. I've been questioning this my whole life.How to interact with service people?
    With respect. You don't have to become bestfriends with them, but a simple ';hi'; and ';bye'; wouldn't be wrongHow to interact with service people?
    Treat people as you would like to be treated,but really need more details.
    What type of service people are you talking about? If service people like waiters and waitresses treat them like human beings. Be grateful for their services.



    If you are talking about the military then treat them like human beings and respect. Treat them as a normal person but be mindful that they've had some experiences that they may not talk about about. If this is the case the more you can make them at home the better.
    Be polite, look them in their eyes, and smile. Most of people respond well do it. If the feeling hits you, state the obvious - boy is it hot, will this rain end, I thought they (the person in fron of you in line) were never going to make up their mind.



    Please and thank you go a long way, too.

    Do you use Answers to INTERACT with people or STAY AWAY from them?

    For me, I come on here when I am by myself and looking to pass the time. I know I'm fishing for answers from people and answering other people's questions. But I don't use the site to be social, I use the site during those times when I am not interested in being around other people.



    But I figure anti-social people might come on here in order to feel like they are interacting w/ others and not all alone sometimes.



    I know one of my contacts likes to be on here to express opinions and attitudes that are not well received in her region of the country, though I don't know how she'd answer this.Do you use Answers to INTERACT with people or STAY AWAY from them?
    Good question. I've been lagging lately, I didn't see your last 3 questions until tonight. But let's see, me...maybe I come on here for both reasons? I come on here when I'm bored or I want to get away from my ';real life'; for a while.



    I like the fact that I can come to Y!A and and ask and answer questions with my honest opinion instead of having to make it politically-correct and Alabama conservative-approved (yeah, I just made that up, lol).



    If I were to come out in my everyday life and say I don't believe in God, I would get judged pretty strongly, without even having the people get to know me. Not saying the people I'm close to don't know, but it's not something I brag about. And really....my religious beliefs shouldn't be an issue anyway. They have nothing to do with the person that I am. ....Ok, maybe somewhat but you know what I mean. I'm not an evil person just because I don't believe in God, but people here seem to think that's the case. So, I just keep it to myself and those closest to me.



    So that's how I use Y!A to ';get away'; from people. But in the roughly 6 months that I've been on here (my profile says September 2007, but I didn't use it back then) I've gained some pretty cool contacts. It's getting to the point where I think I've added too many, and some of them I don't think I've ever even answered a question for, but I would say about 5-10 of the 90 or so that I have do know me somewhat. It isn't hard to figure out what kind of person I am, just through reading my Q%26amp;A's and I guess that's what they've done, because their answers to my questions are usually just what I'm looking for. So, I do always look forward to reading my contacts' answers to my questions more than anything else.



    So, after that long rant that probably makes no sense whatsoever, what I hope you got out of it is that I use the site to get away from people AND to interact with people. I have lots of questions, and sometimes I like getting answers from people who are just on the outside looking in.Do you use Answers to INTERACT with people or STAY AWAY from them?
    I use answers to interact with people.
    I have made friends with people from several countries since coming on here %26amp; communicate with them regularly. On the other hand,I have gotten some of the nastiest verbal abuse I've ever had directed at me from mostly Indians( not American Indians) who hate Australians because of our cricket team.

    In dealing with people, do you think it's better to be more proactive with people, or more passive?

    When you interact with people in a social situation, do you prefer to be more outgoing and do what you want, and be how you want to be, or or more passive and reserved, going with the flow instead? Which one are you usually? Which do you believe to be more rewarding?



    (Yeah, I know this isn't an LGBT related question.)In dealing with people, do you think it's better to be more proactive with people, or more passive?
    I am a go-with-the-flow type of guy. I'm not big on confrontation and conflict. I'm pretty laid back and open to almost anything. As long as it isn't something I really detest, I'll go.



    Being around the people I enjoy is much more important than what we are doing.In dealing with people, do you think it's better to be more proactive with people, or more passive?
    I like to be spontaneous, what matches more with the proactive profile you described.



    I think spontaneous people - not cocky guys - are sexy and transmit self confidence.
    I'd go with flow and see what the mood is. I'm not passive but more reactionary. Usually start conversations if no one says anything. But you don't wantt to a attention whore either.



    I think this approach is more rewarding because you get to see all the personalities ..

    How can I improve my social skills without actually interacting with people?

    I don't mean to sound like a smart-alec misanthrope, but I just don't get a chance very often to deal with people. Part of the reason is that society seems to require payment for entry into social scenes, like gyms, bars... Even clubs cost me money because I have to drive to meetings, but I have no money to spare. I've had customer service jobs, but interactions in them are so brief and superficial. In case you're wondering, I have no intention of going to a church--I hate religion.How can I improve my social skills without actually interacting with people?
    Try everyday places that you need to go to on a common basis (the bank, the grocery store, etc). Just practice talking to them (asking questions, making little statements, all that).



    If you want something that isn't superficial...can you go to school? That may be too out of the question though...



    Go to places that are free. Libraries are and often have group meetings (readings, stuff like that). Just look around community message boards to see free stuff. Volunteering would be good, if you had the time (you may even get more money out of it).How can I improve my social skills without actually interacting with people?
    Go places where some modicum of manners is the norm, such as a museum or a play, and observe the interactions of others. Note them for future reference.
    talk to yourself :D
    I dont know...if you arent willing to make any compromises stop complaining.
    Ultimately your desired skill requires interacting with people.

    If you mean how can you interact with people without incurring a lot of expense, then you can practice interacting at the store, on the phone, or other casual meeting places. You don't always have to pay an entry fee to talk to people. You may even find people who are anxious for you to care about them.
    read books.

    How can I connect and interact with other people on the Wii??

    it says i am connected, and i can get on shop channel, but how do i talk to other people and play games with other people, i heard something about a friend code??



    what do i do?How can I connect and interact with other people on the Wii??
    Well there are many things to do with others.



    To send messages to someone, you need to ask for their Wii Console number that is 16 digits. If you ask them, you must give them yours. The Wii is very safe from spam mail. No messages can be sent to you by people not in your address book.



    After asking to add them and giving them your console number, add their number to your address book by clicking Register. Then after you both add each other, it takes a couple minutes to show up as added. The reason you have to ask is because no confirmation message or request is sent to you if they add you.



    For game friend codes, most of them are 12 digits. Again, you ask for each other codes and add them in the Nintendo WFC section of the game.How can I connect and interact with other people on the Wii??
    You must exchange FC(Friend codes) with your fellow Wii players and then you can send messages and play online with games labeled as ';Nintendo Wi-fi Connection'; on the cover. It is inside a blue circle. Some games that can do that are : Mario Strikers Charged, Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, Super Smash Brothers Brawl and Mario Kart Wii.

    How To Talk To Anyone 92 Tips For Successful Relationships By Leil Lowndes

    Is it rude to not say hello or acknowledge people at work when you pass them in an empty hallway?

    It seems like I am always passing senior managers at work in long empty hallways. It is just them and me. I say hello but usually get no reply. Maybe I am to low on the corporate organizational chart to be acknowledged.



    Is it them you is rude or me for bothering someone who is so high up and important? Maybe they think I am brown nosing.



    How do you interact with people who are higher ups at work who you pass in the hall?Is it rude to not say hello or acknowledge people at work when you pass them in an empty hallway?
    Yes I think it is rude and I think it shows that they lack basic social graces. Any decent manager would acknowledge any employee, from their own PA to the person who cleans the toilets.



    I used to work with a woman who would say hello the first time people saw her that day but who would avert her eyes and completely ignore them each time they passed her after that. I don't know what her problem was but it got her a reputation of being a complete weirdo.



    You could try doing what a friend of mine did with a rude neighbour. His neighbour would avoid speaking so one morning when he was in his garden, he said 'good morning' when he saw the guy - no response as usual, so he said 'stupid ignorant git' (or words to that effect....which I can't print here!!) and the guy said 'what did you say', so he said 'oh, you heard that then' and just walked off. The guy used to acknowledge him after that LOL - so if you're feeling really annoyed you could always try that (ha ha, I'm joking - save that one for if you find another job and it's your last week at this place).



    But don't stop smiling or saying hello. You're polite - they're all just ignorant.Is it rude to not say hello or acknowledge people at work when you pass them in an empty hallway?
    i say good morning to the people in my office. i don't say hello to everyone i see. only a selective few. everyone else i ignore.



    it is rude of them not to acknowledge you after saying hello. i don't care how high their rank is, rude is rude. we are all humans.
    Don't stop doing it because you don't get a response. They may notice that you are friendly and professional even though they don't acknowledge it. And that may help at evaluation time!
    I just stand in front of them, and with the biggest smile on my face say to them ';good morning'; out loud and they do respond, trust me !
    It is rude to not say hello, and your superiors are just that. Keep saying hello. Greetings are important. If you stop saying them, you stoop their level of rudeness.
    keep saying hi. its them with the problem. now if it was the office jerk off give him the finger.
    I say hi to the people I know and give a friendly smile to those I don't. Usually they then say hello. If they dont then screw them.
    You're polite to do so.Don't you worry about them ,keep on doing things right and you'll have their job.Oh and when you have their job continue at being what you are a, real leader.Stay nice,God rewards the good eggs.God bless.
    Actually I think it is impractical to keep greeting work colleagues, and it becomes awkward. I say good morning once to everybody when I first see them during the day, and goodnight when I am leaving at the end. Otherwise I don't speak or greet unless I have something pressing to say. Rude? I don't think so.
    First thing you should understand is that you are as equally important being in the position you hold. Just because you are not a senior executive does not make you less important, and being kind does not cost a thing, you be yourself no matter who the person is, let it be there problem if they choose not to respond to your greeting. You have a gift to be kind and that exceeds them no matter the position. Just remember: we are all in this world together, trying to make a living, nobody is better than anybody else, just because they have a higher title, they are still human.



    Stay kind - it is a gift that you have been given, maybe you will pass it on to them someday.
    Don't take it personally, one company I worked at was the same way; some of the execs were pleasant others weren't just ignore it. Probably best not to say anything, maybe a nod.

    Is there a term for people who don't know how to interact with others without hurting them?

    Are you sure it's not bipolarism? There are many types of schizophrenia; I'd read about them here -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophren鈥?/a>Is there a term for people who don't know how to interact with others without hurting them?

    Help! I've just learned I have a really serious health condition that will effect how I interact with people

    I don't want people to think I'm strange but I don't want them to feel sorry for me either. How should I tell people that I'm ill?Help! I've just learned I have a really serious health condition that will effect how I interact with people
    I would tell them only on a need-to-know basis, if it is not obvious. In the telling, be matter of fact and let them know that you don't want them to feel sorry for you. I wish you the best.Help! I've just learned I have a really serious health condition that will effect how I interact with people
    Ya just did! tell them the same way!
    Don't worry about what other people think. You should just tell them that you are ill and will be having problems. If they don't understand........screw em'!
    You don't give many details. That's OK but it may depend on how your condition will affect your relationships. Maybe start with those people most important to you like family and close friends. You may be overrating your concern. People are much more willing to be supportive than you may think. Those who do not accept you or your condition for any reason are probably not worth worrying about. Stick with those who stick with you. Good luck.
    If you would have mentioned just what this illness was I could have been more helpful. Tell them in a way that you will feel best. Maybe they dont need to even know. Use your best judgement.
    I wouldn't just blurt out that you're sick. If friends or family ask, well tell them the truth. If your illness is something that strangers might pick up on, it's your choice if you want to tell them anything at all.



    I'm a diabetic and must take insulin 5 minutes before eating. If I go out to eat, I usually take my injection at the table. If others stare, it's their problem not mine. If someone asks me a question about it, then I'm happy to answer. I suppose it depends on the way people ask or the comments they make.



    Best of luck and I hope all turns out well for you.

    How to be social/get to know people outside of school?

    I've started a full-time job in a new city. I've been here about a year now and I still don't know anyone (except my boss). I can't go to bars because of my sleep schedule. There are social gatherings like movies, restaurants etc. but not really things that you see %26amp; interact with people on a somewhat regular basis and can get to know them.How to be social/get to know people outside of school?
    i guess your starting from the basics. Well you are just going to have to go out and introduce yourself. Doesnt have to be a night either. Its just at the bar its easier because people come to : a dance :b drink :c socialize :d hook up with somebody. So when somebody walks up to something as long as they request from one of those 4, nobody is going to think your different.



    Outside the bar requires more talking, more work and more of a reason. Sometimes you just have to go for it, and move on if it doesnt work. I would suggest, start going around town during the day. And any place, maybe to shoot pool during the day. I know plenty pool places where women hang out just to hang out during the day. Ask to shoot a game.



    Maybe you as people at work to come with you. So you don't look so lonely when you go out. There is plenty of places to meet girls. And seriously speaking the girls in bar arent going to take you seriously. They just want to have fun for a short time and probably assume you want the same.How to be social/get to know people outside of school?
    sleep with your boss. then threaten to get him fired if he doesn't help you get friends.

    this always works for me :D

    best of luck.
    I'm gonna star this for now. I'll be back to answer this on my non troll account.
    How about if you asked some to get together sometime for a nice/friendly card game !! %26amp; converse as you play !! ... Then other topics %26amp; or questions may come about !?! Like movies !?! %26amp; may even lead up to gethering together with a few of the friends to all go to a movie showing !?! You offer to buy a first round of sodas or pop corn !?! etc. r'`R`'r
    Well I commute to school so it's hard for me to make friends there. What I found works is just getting out in public places as much as possible. If you feel like going on the computer, go to the library. Avoid staying in.

    How do you interact with people normally after childhood abuse?

    I was physically abused as a child, but seriously, I can't understand why some people blame their bad lives on childhood beetings. What I hated most was being kept from having a social life. I was once kept in a room for 4 months and told to do nothing but stare at a blank wall. My imagination is what kept me from going crazy. It was being alone I guess that was the worst part of my childhood. I lead a pretty normal life now, god answered my prayer for happiness by sending me my soulmate after I got takin away from my parents when I was 16. I'm in college now and bettering my life but I cant help but think about my childhood. It hits me like a wall sometimes. I wish I could ineract with people normally at school. Its not like I'm not polite to people or weird or anything, I just dont seem to have any friends. I wish their was some way for me to remove my childhood from my past so I could think and interact normally.How do you interact with people normally after childhood abuse?
    My heart brakes for you. First I want to tell you I am so proud of you because you are trying to be strong and moving on. You will always carry this childhood with you, you cannot erase it. But, you can choose to not give it so much power over you and not let it ruin the rest of your life.. The sadness inside projects to the outside and makes people to not want to be near the negative energy. Focus on the positive and it will project to the people around you and attract them. Focus on God as you are already doing. When you have a child one day give that helpless child all the love you lacked and that will fulfill you. Take care, be strong and I hope for you a wonderful future, full of love.

    How can i interact more with people?

    I am new to France, for pursuing my masters. My problem is that i am quite shy and introvert. There are people of different nationaties in my university but i don't know what to talk about.What should i do. I don't want to be labeled as shy guy.How can i interact more with people?
    Just be u! Find people who share ur interest in a subject or activity. Ask one of the people to join u for espresso. If ur wishing to participate in a new activity... do it. U'll join others who are in the same position as u.



    Look people in the eye and offer a friendly greeting. Go out in the night life and mingle. France has great cafes to people watch and enjoy a bite to eat. U set the tone for others to see the new u. Don't label ur self. Good luck on your Masters... that is another opportunity to meet people who are pursuing the same degree.



    Conversation can be about campus events, lectures, or museum events... share what u want them to know about your home country. Family or dreams. Just be u.How can i interact more with people?
    join a club or social event look at their newspapers ask you professors or one of your people you go to class with
    Conquer your fear? I use to be shy too,but I decided to just go ahead and face my shyness and try talking to people. After doing it a few times you'll get use to it. Just try and start a conversation. Just ask how they're doing or offer to help someone if they need help with work.
    you should join a sports team or a club and just talk to peole about what they like to do
    Try joining a club/society that interests you and also work with other students on your course. Most people start by asking standard questions like What is your name?, where are you from?, where have you studied before? what do you think of this city/course?
    Join some organizations. See some people who have the same hobbies as you. I used to be shy, but once you find people like that, you get really close to them. =]

    How do you interact with people you perceive as smarter than you?

    I'm not incredibly insecure, but there's nothing I hate more than being looked at and judged constantly. I'm a guy that likes to ask a lot of questions because I love to learn, and even though I'm a pretty quick learner most times, sometimes it takes me a couple times to grasp a concept or task. It's because of this that sometimes I feel ';overly intelligent'; people tend to judge me or even consider me incompetent (that might be a stretch but you know how people can be).



    What do you do in those situations? How do you interact with smarter folks without appearing... well... dumb? lolHow do you interact with people you perceive as smarter than you?
    I guess it depends on what the subject is. Asking questions will not make you look stupid. If you're talking to someone about a specific subject, say neurology, and you honestly don't know anything about it, and asked questions that wouldn't make you look stupid. However, if you try to say something that you think sounds right at the time or you something random about the subject, and you have no backing or you are not able to elaborate upon what you said you run the risk of sounding stupid if you get caught in the act of bullshitting, and not really knowing anything, if you feel what I'm saying. Never jokingly tell someone you feel stupid, or say to them you are stupid (eg 'sorry, im dumb!'), because that'll make them think you ARE stupid. Always act well rounded and intelligent. Act reserved and hold comments or questions about something until you are positive about what you're saying. Be confident in yourself, not in the specific subject, but in general. Never believe someone is more intelligent than you. You are on the same intellectual par as everyone else. Believe it. You are not inferior to anyone. This way when you put your comments in, or ask questions, they are appropriate and sound right, being you won't fell like you're talking to someone who is superior to you. When you're about to say something, always remember you run the risk of being examined, whether it be to engage in conversation of just for the entertainment of the other person (if they think you are just bullshitting). It seems to me based on the way you are aware of the fact you don't know everything, and the way you phrased the question with competence overall, you can talk with anyone, intelligence not being a factor. Confidence without douchebaggery is key.How do you interact with people you perceive as smarter than you?
    I'm liking your realization that it is your perspective that is what's controlling the situation, as the same as it is for all of us even now. What it really comes down to are a person's thoughts during that interaction. Are you thinking more about what the other person is thinking of you or are you thinking more about what you have to say and being true to your own self and your own values? I guarantee you'll feel much more satisfied with the latter than the former. It has a lot to do with expectations of what's to come, it guides what you wind up seeing by default - without thinking. Go into the conversations and be yourself, stick to your morals. Let everything else be the other's opinion. If they don't like it, they'll deal with it. It's their choice not to like it. Not yours, and you don't have any obligation to handle their choices.
    Just be yourself, don't worry about what they think. Odds are, they don't think you are stupid. I can't ever really remember being in a regular conversation with a person and thinking, wow they are stupid.
    If they do judge you as intelectually incompetent, then they're what I'd call mediocre brainiacs.



    I wouldn't worry too much about those people if I were you. They are people who by some stroke of luck got to the middle level and are stuck there. They can't go upwards anymore and can only get satisfaction by belittling people they think are below them.



    In my experience, real intelligent people are enthusiastic, especially when they think they can help you. Ask them questions as many as you want, they love sharing their knowledge with you!



    Congratulate yourself that you're someone who is learning and learning. That's how you're always going to climb up.
    if they can learn faster than me, without any preparation, and seem smarter in more than one field, then I will consider being around people of the same level as me. For this will keep damaging my self-esteem.
  • okay for teenagers
  • I feel like i don't know how to interact with people...?

    I am already well into college. But I still feel like I don't know how to interact with people. I'll try explaining.

    I am in a cooking class. We have to work in groups because there isn't enough kitchen space. Now, I am really helpful. If anyone needs anything, like ingredients mixed or dishes washed, I volunteer. I really go out of my way to help others out. I guess I'm somewhat of a pushover.

    Well, when I mix things together or when someone puts me in charge, I am very cautious to follow the recepie and not mess things up. That slows me down a bit. Then I am always asking people where they want me to put say a cookie sheet out of the oven or something else. Well, point is, I ask people a lot of what they want me to do.

    I don't know why I always ask. It's like I don't want to mess things up. That's why I want direction. I try to take things into my own hands but i end up asking questions anyway.

    I guess people think I am really stupid. Sometimes they make fun of me (or it might be sarcasm, i can't tell). And it's not just in my cooking class. It's like that with many other areas in my life. I keep asking people for help, advice, or direction.



    Therefore I feel like I am going to fail in life. Like who would want to hire someone who can't take charge themselves? It was like that a taco place I worked. I'd always ask questions, not wanting to mess up. I could tell people got tired of me and annoyed.



    I don't know how to get out this habit. Sometimes I get really down because at this stage in life people around me are taking charge and moving forwards. I am just stuck, asking people questions. Maybe they are more confident, i don't know. But I'd like to be able to just interact with people on a normal basis, showing them that I am smart and can think for myself.



    help...I feel like i don't know how to interact with people...?
    Sounds like you have ';socially anxiety disorder';.. I have it, and ';people pleasing behavior'; is one of the traits, comes from perfectionism, being afraid to let others see you fail or mess up and them getting mad at you. Try not to worry what they think, and don't ALWAYS volunteer or they'll use you and see you as a flunky. Be confident, even if you gotta fake it and feel free to put the cookie sheet on my kitchen counter mmm thanks :0)I feel like i don't know how to interact with people...?
    To me it sounds like you know what you are doing that turns people off. However, you don't know why you can't change yourself into a more self-directed person other than that you feel you might mess up. You shouldn't be so afraid of messing up as everyone messes up occasionally. The person who doesn't care if they mess up is more fun to be with. But your fear of messing up comes from somewhere, like growing up with parents always being critical if you did something wrong. In this connection I remember that when I was beginning to drive, one time I was driving with my mother in the passenger seat and I didn't see a red light until it was too late and I hit the car in front of me after screeching on the brakes. Luckily no real damage was done but feeling bad about it I told my mother that she should drive the rest of the way. She said to me, ';No, you just keep on driving';. I felt she had confidence in me after my 'messing up' and I have been a confident driver ever since. That is just one example of how parents should be, but many aren't. In order to get over your fear, I think therapy is the best way, even group therapy can help a lot. Or sometimes you can be lucky enough to find a best friend who doesn't have the same problem and you can learn from them. Try to learn to take a 'Devil may care' attitude. People like that tend to have a crowd of admirers around them.
    Ach!.



    well, you might try taking a few minutes before going out every day to review the choices you will have to make after stepping out of the door. Often just thinking about a problem will lead to the answer, and there is no need to fear small mistakes, so going with a gut feeling isn't always a bad thing either.That is what I do, generally.
    lol, sounds like you got a pretty introvert personality.



    try to be a bit more active, and you will find your self-confident growing. at least it worked for me.



    ===

    by more active, i mean to exercise more, and to go outside and do activities more...

    How do I interact with people?

    I'm anit-social, very social phobic. I go to school, which is the only time I spend time with other people, then I go home. I can't stand being around people, not that have anything agaisnt anyone, but I get scared and upset near people.

    At school kids try to talk and interact with me, but I don't know what to do or to say, so they'll just leave me alone. This has made me very lonely (I want to be alone and I don't want to alone, o.O) What can I do?How do I interact with people?
    Try to smile and laugh when you can't talk?just try to ask yourself what anyway is a good reason that i'm acting like this?practice to know how to be confident and know what making you shy and do something to it to change it. also you could practice being confident like going outside and learn to greet unknown people and in home try to talk to your family member of whatever you can share to them.

    just be comfortable.How do I interact with people?
    You're not anti-social actually criminals are here's what that's about:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_鈥?/a>



    Your shy and introverted. Try believing in yourself little by little. Its hard I was the same in school, feel free to talk to me.

    I just can't interact with people and it's horribly embarrassing?

    I just started college. I'm 6'5'; and good looking and nice but I just have this intense fear of people. I just can't interact. I have no friends. I never really did. When I look people in the eyes and talk to them I feel as if the moment I am in will become part of history and will always be remembered by that person. The solidity of that scares me. And I just don't know how to react because I concentrate so much on my muscles and the emotion I am conveying to the other person, etc. And if I act in a way everyone else acts I feel like a complete and utter phony-- and I feel even worse that way. I can't think in front of other people. Even the simplest things become these huge ordeals. Like sitting in a lecture hall and some asks me to move over (I sit on the seat closest to the stairs because I don't want to scare the person by the wall by sitting right next to them) and I get up and as I get up the seat chair hits my leg and causes me to flinch and then I can't get the next seat down (movie theatre seats). Or when I have to pay for something I just don't know when to give them the money... Like am I supposed to ait for them to ask for it and then fidget through my wallet as they and the entire line of people behind me wait for me to take the money out? OR am I supposed to stand there holding the money out like an idiot? And then even both ways when I try to give them the money my hand is all shaky.



    I notice a lot of girls looking at me and I can tell they're interested because I'm a pretty good looking guy and I start thinking about the possibilities between them and I and the minute they see me interact with someone I feel as though their thoughts have gone through the floor and they are now embarrassed for me. I feel people are embarrassed for me. That's worse than being embarrassed yourself....



    Is this just the way I am? Can I change? I really don't care what other people think but I somehow just cannot function around other humans.I just can't interact with people and it's horribly embarrassing?
    I'd probably try to get a therapist in all seriousness. Either that or perhaps hypnosis will help in finding out why you lack confidence around other people. I'm sure you're a great guy but there's something that's just not quite right. I don't know if it was something from your childhood or perhaps a past life but there's got to be some reason why you can't interact that well. Good luck. I don't think this is a kind of problem that will improve over night either. It takes practice to gain confidence to speak with other people.I just can't interact with people and it's horribly embarrassing?
    I agree with Eddie. I know very little on the subject but I get the impression that your symptoms sound like autism; that doesn't mean that you are autistic, but there are many degrees of autism.



    If I was you I would go to your general practicioner (Dr) and have a chat with him/her.



    As Eddie said, it will not be easy to overcome; you'll have to work with it over a long period and you need the right help.
    Well buddy, I can tell you a few moments I felt like, you go to the extreme though. Many times I felt I didn't fit into any group of people, because I had nothing in common with people at school, besides all the time I thought I did a fool of myself and it was so embarrasing. I've always been a perfectionist, and a preety nervous person, honestly, that's way I leave no room for mistakes and I always want everything to be perfect, to have the perfect conversation subject, the perfect look, to be interesting. I demand a lot of myself, I pay attention the most ridiculous and absurd details that no one notices. I was my worst judge. Nowadays I can tell you I have changed that, it takes time and quite a lot of effort from yourself. All of the time you had thought bad of yourself, so it is not going to be that easy and that fast to change the image yourself have from you, but you gotta do it. Take things in a relaxed way, take your time to do whatever you have to do, for example, at the cinema, take your time to get the money for the ticket, people has to wait, it's your turn. Please, try not paying that attention to things that are not important and live your life, you'd surprise yourself if you talked to people and notice you have quite a lot in common than you think you do, and always remember that for the very fact that you're a human being you're special and blessed.

    A question for introverted/shy people. How do you function in life?

    It seems in order to succeed in life you need to interact with people. Networking is important to be successful. How do you succeed if you get anxiety attacks whenever talking to important people that you do not know too well.A question for introverted/shy people. How do you function in life?
    I'm shy well its pretty hard i talk but i don't make conversation big if im with my besties ahah i can talk foreva and be wild but by myself or with people im not to used to i think up my words before saying it trying not to sound stupid and not all get anxiety attacks when talking to people thats more of a disorder shyness is not a disorder neither is it anti-social its just a difficulty to talk to people in society more of a fear of knowing what the person would think of you if you say something i'am just more of afraid of saying something stupid and people thinking of me something different abnormalA question for introverted/shy people. How do you function in life?
    Not all shy people get anxiety attacks when talking to people, and not all extroverts are completely comfortable with talking with important people either. Shy people learn how to fake it to make it. We get along fine.
    You should seek psychiatric help and get on some anti-anxiety drugs. People aren't stupid and they can tell if your so nervous that you stumble on your words so often. Insecurities shoe up easily when under strssful situations.
    I just think about how F____ scary it would be to be storming the beaches at Normandy. Or any other F____ War. That would be anxiety, plus I don't feel others are better than me anymore.
    How do you figure that shy people must talk to important people?



    Who do you consider important?



    And just because one is shy doesn't mean they have anxiety.



    Maybe you need to do more research on what it means to be shy.
    I just gather up my courage and talk to people. I usually only talk when it's necessary, though. I'm insanely shy.

    How can I meet people my own age?

    I have moved from Africa to England and have been put into year 10, Im 16 and everyone else is 14 and Im findind it really hard to interact with people my own age. Any advice or pointers?How can I meet people my own age?
    i know how this feels. Just talk to people at lunch talk to people in your class it dosnt matter that there younger at all.

    good luckHow can I meet people my own age?
    youre in the right grade for american students, interesting how their grading system is so much different



    anyhow, you should try to make friends with the 10 year kids and around school try seeking some 12 year students or ask around, just because the students are 14 doesnt mean that they dont know older students
    try joining a club or playing a sport, soccer will put you in a group your own age or a little theatre will have people your own age but if not try typing in your suburb in myspace and look for people your age, add them then befriend them.
    well if you really want to meet people your own age you can try myspace.com facebook.com or myyearbook.com its a great way to meet different people and if sometimes you might find someone that is your own age.

    hope this helps
    after school activities, youth clubs in your area. join a social networking website and add people of your age that you recognise in school and start talking to them that way. good luck!
    Wow in America, poeple are 15-16 in year 10, and 17-18 in year 12. Join after school clubs or sports. Maybe if you do really good in school they will advance you so you will be with people closer to your age?

    How many of you all on here would rather interact with people on-line rather than via phone or face-to-face?

    and why?How many of you all on here would rather interact with people on-line rather than via phone or face-to-face?
    I dont like talking on the telephone if I am comfortable with someone I can talk face to face , but the easiest for me is right here at my own pace and picking my questions on what I maybe helpful with and can help. Feels good if I can help a person even if in a small way. I work in the health field and care for people in there final years I have alot of friends in heaven I always say. So it is my nature to try to help. Have a good one sorry got carried awayHow many of you all on here would rather interact with people on-line rather than via phone or face-to-face?

    ill pass on that one thanks
    i would

    b caz its fun
    me because when Im in someones face I have fear of having lack of words
    I would rather interact with people on-line....why?its easier and I'm able to be myself
    phone, more personal, can feel the personality of the person clearer
    either ....
    its easier on here, you can come and go and interact as you feel like it
    either way is fine to me ..
    I prefer to look into their eyes as we converse--
    i still prefer the phone so u can hear the persons voice. especially my daughter, she gets so frustrated with me and i can't tell that on-line.
    I can be on here all day talking to people without having to get dressed or worry how i look..
    face to face is the most fun. people can not lie. unless u r the fool.
    face to face...but i ain't got no one to do that with so let me just see these ppls online...
    Im not good at coming up with interesting topic when it comes to interact with people via phone and face to face, I'd rather choose on-line because we can share more interesting stuff like sharing photos and any good website.
    hahah.. i prefer face-to-face or phone (aka real world), but interact online is totally fun, too, because you can fake your identity. I dont know why i do that, it's just fun.
    I hate the freaking phone, i guess it's some phobia but it's one of the most annoying things to deal with. I always have to write things down of what im going to say. Face is alright tho
    yeah. I suck. but it's a nice thing we got going here. and I probably wouldn't like most if I knew them better. oh geesh.

    but their are a few I'd like/love to meet. or talk to. or HEAR THEIR VOICE!
    I would rather interact with people online, I don't like to talk on the phone, I like my privacy and don't like face to face because at least online I can just say bye and not worry about walking away. =)
    Me...I hate meeting people face to face. I become panicked if there are a lot of people around ..I feel like I'm being judged or something. Social anxiety is a big thing for me.

    What should I expect living with people in Greece?

    I want to do a summer home stay with a family in Greece for about 6 to 8 weeks! What should I expect when living with them? I am from the U.S. and I want to know the differnt things they do. What they eat, what they do for fun, how they interact with people...ect. Stuff like that! Please tell me what I should expect going into this amazing experience!What should I expect living with people in Greece?
    I don't know the way that you live in US because I'm french married to a Greek. Greek people sleep very late at night because they sleep in th middle of the day 2 or 3 hours! They eat Greek food.... french fries, meat, salad, fish... but every things is on the table and you take a little bit of all in the dish in front of you. Everybody take from the dish.

    For fun , Greeks like to go out and drink ';frapp茅'; a cold coffee in the day or they go out at night and drink beer in very loudly bars. Or sometimes at night they go to clubs to see they favorites singers on stage while they are eating typical Greek food!All the girls are dressing well for this occasion!

    They are very friendly sometimes too much...

    It's a very nice experience to go to Greece you will not forget it!What should I expect living with people in Greece?
    Hi Mandy

    We had an aupair last year from Australia - I think she had it good because I'm English so we had great fun!

    Greeks like to eat .... eat ....and eat some more! When they are out eating they are talking about better food elsewhere! Family life is extremely important. You don't say what you intend to do or where you'll be so I can't tell you more - area will give a bigger insight to the kind of people. I also did this job - but unfortunately my first family was awful! (children tend to be very spoilt - especailly families that can afford au pairs) But I left and worked for an English woman and we are still friends (17 yrs on) and she's now the god mother of my eldest daughter. What's a summer home stay?

    I can't write anything negative or the Greeks on this section would have me hung!

    We may need an aupair again!



    I take it no one who's answered apart from myself has actually done this job - I've also lived among Greeks for 20yrs. It's very difficult to get Greeks to say anything negative about their race (unlike the Brits). Yes there are some great people - yes there are some great customs traditions (made me stay here 20 yrs) but there's also the 'fear of something/someone different' I think you must realise this before arriving.

    Good luck . If you want to ask me anything I will answer you honestly.

    I have been an aupair (live in one year) a cleaner - a tourist rep - a bar woman - an English teacher in Theia Tata (Kifissia) a private teacher ... I am now a wife to a Preveza man - a mother to two girls (4 %26amp; 8) a clothes shop owner and a builder's yard owner (4 lorries approx 20 employees)

    Think I have enough experience to give an honest answer!



    Just knew I'd get thumbs down most likely by Greeks - truth hurts

    Njordin

    Are you actually living in Greece? Do you have a family? Have you done the job? Have you worked as a foreigner?

    This is not old fashioned and I was talking about spolit Athenians .. much better to work for a villager! I take it from your standard of English I am not dealing with a 'local' Stop stalking me and making negative comments - these are my opinions - you have yours I have mine! Keep your opinions of me to yourself!
    I envy you, it麓s soo great to live in Greece. When you go there, go with an open mind. Watch and see, talk to people and soon you will have a lot of friends, you will have fun and I麓m sure you will find the food delicious (at least after a while). Greece is amazing, it麓s ancient history, it麓s very beautiful peninsula, as well as the rest of the country and the nice people.



    I麓d like to warn you about one fact (hope some Greek won麓t hang me now), the Greek can be a little bit ';foxy';, hope you understand what I mean. They can be quite defencive, suppose they have it in their spines due to their ancient history. They don麓t show it, but after you have lived there for a longer period of time, you will notice it. Despite saying this I would go to Greece and meet Greek people this minute, if I had a chance to now.



    Hope you will find the summer home of your dreams in Greece!



    (Have worked in Greece as a tourist guide for a couple of years, too long ago though.)
    its perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=)

    your gonna love it im sure of it!

    stay close to sea =)
    It really depends on the people and where they live. For example, the afternoon nap does not happen for working people in cities, where we work like everywhere else 9-5 or later.

    It is true that they will be hospitable, they will want to take you to see places, and take you out to eat, have fun etc. It will be a good idea a. to have a list of places you want to visit, so that you can go together to some of them, b. to get them a nice present, because they will want to pay when you go out etc. Now, about this, be careful: you are supposed to let them pay the first time or a couple of times, it will be an insult not to, but it will be rude to let them do it all the time. It will be polite to ask them out one day and state in advance that you are buying dinner or drinks.

    Apart from that, they will be hospitable, and they will generally be happy when you appreciate what you see, Greek culture, what they offer you, etc.
    I did part of my studies in Macedonia and was there for almost a year, so: Expect warmth, kindness and a lot of fun! Oh, yes, prepare to eat a lot, they push you to eat and eat, which is great, because Greek food is delicious! I envy you鈥?(Of course I'm talking about the authentic Macedonia, the northern region of Greece, the birthplace of Alexander the Great. Not to be confused with FYROM -Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia- which is a modern Slavic/Albanian state at the north of Macedonia.)
    Greeks are friendly and warm people. Believe me you will meet some wonderful friends,and yes sometimes they can be clever like ';fox';no of fence to Greeks!!

    by the way if you know lit bit of Greek language it would be fantastic-then you can understand Greeks and their beautiful country!!!
    You will have 6 to 8 beautiful weeks! Just be careful because there are these pathetic filthy creatures around Greece which spit dirt everywhere, sometimes here too! But you are ok if you stay away of the borders, mainly the northern and eastern ones, their dirt wont reach you鈥?: )
    Good choice, you won鈥檛 regret it. Just don鈥檛 be surprised if you realize that you鈥檙e treated better there than in your own home, that simply Greece!
    Well done. Greek people are very hospitable and their friendliness can sometimes be a little overpowering. If you are a reserved sort of person this may not be to your liking. On the other hand if you are ready to 'do in Rome as the Romans do' then you should get along fine. Not everyone sleeps in the afternoons but they do stay up late, It's too hot to sleep early anyway in the summer. It will certainly be an experience. Good luck.
    You'll be up for en adventure!:))

    Prepare yourself by watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding - that pretty much gets it.

    And check out the link below - it's an extract from my book about life in Greece.
    Typical mediterranean people, nothing more, nothing less. And about asimenia's comment on being very difficult to get Greeks to say something negative about their ';race';, well, this couldn't be less true, one of our characteristics is that we LOVE to talk bad and whine about our country and ourselves. Also, family is nowhere as important as it was , say 30 years ago. Asimenia's POV on Greece is pretty outdated actually {nothing strange for an English} and the overall description she game fits best on country life rather that life in a city.
    lots of flirting.

    How do I earn respect of people in my school?

    I have my set of friends but I don't interact with people much. I started going out more often . Once , I saw some people playing football in school ,I decided to join them . But they won't let me play, and shooed me away. what d'you guys think I should I do?How do I earn respect of people in my school?
    BE YOURSELF - BE ORIGINAL, BE DIFFERENT, BE CONFIDENT - and above all, do not take anyone's crap for it.



    You REALLY have to be very confident in who and what you are. Nobody would ever get away with shooing me away - because I know I can throw that ball just a far as anyone and can run my buns off too.How do I earn respect of people in my school?
    well I am not sure exactly what you may look like (phisical build) however, you should try going out for a sports team or making friends with some of the cooler kids (It really isnt any better on the other side though keep this in mind...trust me). I would try to pick up a sport like football, lacrosse, baseball anyhthing like that... Be aware though that you should try to practice heavily before trying out for a sport! You cant just jump into something expecting to be good.. If you do that you may just experience less respect





    Good luck!
    **** them guys who got rid of you they are not friends. Just be yourself and you will get friends.
  • how to get waves with straighthair
  • I have a hard time intertacting with people at work and in my life. How can I improve things?

    I don't seem to quite understand relationships, and really what they are supposed to be based on. I often find myself in conflicts with people I work with, I usually come out on the losing end, even when they are in the wrong. I have had this problem all my life. I just don't stick up for myself very well. I have never had a girlfriend (I am 38) or any meaningful relationship at all. As a result I feel I have lived a life not worth living and been very depressed. But I want to. I have seen on shows like survivor, that people can really behave in a shallow manner when they are interacting. But have seen on other shows that rude behavior is some what tolerable even welcomed because it shows passion and helps others focus, as long as its not too derogatory, and all party's involved feel they are being treated as an equal. So maybe I need to not take things so personally and learn to bite back a little. I wish I could simply interact with people better and not get walked on so much. Please helpI have a hard time intertacting with people at work and in my life. How can I improve things?
    I feel your pain man. I didn't have any meaningful relationship until I was about 17-18 and you might say that was pretty young, but it really wasn't. All you need is a decent reality check of how people interact. I watch TV, observe people around me, and heck, sometimes I just read responses give on Yahoo Answers. Whatever works. You just have to mimic or repeat some of the similar actions these people do. Cleanse your body as well as your soul. Pay attention to your outer appearance as well as your body language and inner appearance. Sometimes body language can totally turn a person off to what you are saying. I'd say study posture, speech, facial expressions, and motions of people who you consider to be good social interacters. Remember, people are all different, and there are advantages and disadvantages to anything....ask any married man :-) Just be an improved version of yourself, and you'll be fine. You seem like a good guy. Good luck!I have a hard time intertacting with people at work and in my life. How can I improve things?
    try just introducing yourself during a lunch break to whoever else is on a break. another idea is to plan a small luncheon or something for your co-workers. that brings everyone together and gives you a chance to interact and meet everyone.
    It may just be that you're not a confrontational person. Some people do just walk away, and it's not wrong. It seems that it is your self esteem that is suffering and only you can fix that by confronting what it is about yourself that brings you down. You can train yourself to be more outgoing and fight for yourself more often. Imagine yourself in situations and act out what you can say in front of a mirror. It may sound silly, but with practice and some self esteem building exercises, you will start doing better. I hope this helps.
    Hello, well you made your first step, try just being yourself, you can not please everyone, to many jerks in this world... Who is number 1 in your life ? YOU ARE!!!

    What could cause a child to be distant, wary of other people, and needing their own space?

    They think the outside world, that they've seen on tv and heard about, is an exciting and huge place, and so they aren't interested in and dislike the environment and people around them. They don't know how to interact with people, and have prematurely developed sexual tendencies towards the opposite sex. The child is very young, around 4. What can cause these symptoms?What could cause a child to be distant, wary of other people, and needing their own space?
    assuming it's not autism or aspergers (since the child exhibits sexual tendencies - an active bid for affection - unlike the majority of autism cases i've heard of), the child could be suffering from a mixture of abandonment issues, neglect and inappropriate attention.



    if a child often feels rebuffed when s/he seeks affection or care, this could cause the child to withdraw. likewise, if the child suffered the abandonment of a loved one (typically a parent, but not always) s/he would also be wary of befriending new people, so as not to suffer similar pain in the future.



    i remember showing sexually-charged attention to boys when i was young. we didn't know what we were doing, but i remember declaring five boys in my class were all my boyfriends and running them like a harem. (i was a very bossy kid.) i think i picked it up from watching my mum go through short-term relationships, boyfriend after boyfriend. i remember having to restrain myself from getting attached to any of these nice guys cause in a few months they'd be gone and a new one would take the old one's place. they never said goodbye to me when they went. it hurt a lot at the time, but eventually i got used to it. i think that's always been the root of my distant nature.



    it basically boils down to an unstable family dynamic, where a kid can't count on some people hanging around. it hurts. and the pain stays long after everyone has left.What could cause a child to be distant, wary of other people, and needing their own space?
    This question is impossible to answer without an entire family background and medical history. No eye contact - could be autism, could be abuse or the child could just be shy and will come out of his/herself later on...the list is endless. As for the sexual tendencies you need to be more specific - yes there could be sexual abuse - but impossible to tell without further information.
    Personality disorder!
    I was like that when I was small. I have a slight touch of Asperger's Syndrome. I think I'm learning better as I get older. The reason why people like the child you refer to and myself are distant from the outside world is because a lot of people just do not understand those with Asperger's Syndrome as they are shallow minded.
    i dont know i have a 4 year old daughter and when me and her farther was in the deep heat of seperation she did witness some domestic violence that made her a little quiet and confussed and a bit wary of men and loud noise shouting ecti have worked very hard to put our lives back on track and she is a different person lovely bubbly full of life child .. but when you mention sexual side of things it is very concerning as a child at that age should know very little of sex i think anyway. i suggest keep a close eye on the family and seek profesional advice in the local directorieor because the truth is the sick world we live in today is that a lot of sick peadaphiles i pray she is not a victim good luck ..tough question that .

    How do you interact with senior managers at your company?

    I work for a very large company that has dozens of levels of managers. What happens is my boss has like a dozen levels of bosses over him. I wonder what they all do all day. But some of them are paid in the millions and have indirectly hundreds of people who report to them. These are very high level people.



    How should I interact with my bosses bosses bosses boss when I see him in the hall? How do you interact with people who are three or more levels above you in the organizational chart? Should I start small talk with them when I see them in an elevator?How do you interact with senior managers at your company?
    As a person who has worked at the bottom and towards the top of a large organization, I would start with a smile and a polite greeting. Pay attention to non-verbal cues. If the person is walking by, but not looking directly at you, just smile in case they give you a glance.If the person gives you eye contact, smile and give a polite greeting like ';good morning';. I would wait for them to start small-talk.



    Many good things can be accomplished by being ';that person'; in the hallway and elevator that ';always is smiling'; or is ';friendly';, because you never know when you may be noticed, just for standing out in the crowd. This is the same reason why you always want to look your best when going to work. No need to over-dress, just dress appropriately and think every day could be the day that you are making an impression.How do you interact with senior managers at your company?
    For sure!



    You have to think that at one point or another they were in the same position as you were.



    I work for a very large company myself and whenever I see the president I always make small talk with him, he happens to be a very down to Earth guy and though I am not even close to where he is in the company, he treats me as if I was on the same level as him.



    Note some people will be ***** and not even look up at you, but hey at least you tried.
    I work for the same type company and have always worked for large oranizations. Your just a number, they don't care about you or your family. Do 100 things right and they will never notice, but do one thing incorrect and they will remember forever and they down size, don't be supriced if they don't say ';goodbye'; or ';good luck.';



    Keep a low profile and talk, be friendly to the people who are nice/friendly to you.



    If they ever get on top maybe (but most likey not) they will remember your kindness.
    It wouldn't hurt to start some friendly chit-chat. Just smile when you pass them and say ';Good morning/afternoon, Mr. Lastname.'; If they have any social skills and care about their employees, they'll remember your face and maybe a name.
    First of all...with that many bosses nobody will even miss you when your're not there.....take extra long lunches from now on and act like you are everybody elses boss...they will just think you are a higher level boss than they are....announce your self company czar...then fire everybody you don't like
