Social Skills

[Modeps]

I walked past a girl I work with who was standing in front of the elevator.

I said "Hey"
She said "Whats up?"
I said "Waiting for the elevator, eh?"
She said "Yeah."

Modeps == Fail.

Your posting skill makes up for your lack of social skills.

Was that followed by a cold, uncomfortable silence as she discreetly reached into her purse?

Sadly, I'm not even that skilled.

[pontifex]

she asks whats up and you ask her if she's waiting for the elevator?
you didn't answer her question.

This is what really happened:

<Modeps> Hey, what's up?
<HotGirlByTheElevator> Pussy.
<Modeps> er?
<HotGirlByTheElevator> Pussy.
<Modeps> and?
<HotGirlByTheElevator> Pussy.
<Modeps> ...
<HotGirlByTheElevator> Pussy.
<Modeps> i dont get it
<HotGirlByTheElevator> AND YOU NEVER WILL.

She holds up this sign.

I feel for you. I have trouble conversing with anyone outside of people I'm intimately comfortable with such as friends I've known for 10 years or my wife.

It's like there's this invisible barrier and my true self just can't get out with people. Even when I think of something witty to say, I stumble over the words. I end up coming across as so quiet and reserved when I'm a big talker and joker with my wife.

I think my sense of humor is so strange that I'm afraid to show it to people so I just clam up.

See, I'm the opposite. I'll strike up conversations with total strangers. I used to be more like you when I was in my early 20s but now I don't feel uncomfortable talking to people I don't know or making funny remarks to get people to laugh.

My biggest problem is speaking in front of large groups. I can speak in front of our department of 15-20 people but get me in front of 200 people and I get insanely nervous.

I'm the other way around. I can't talk to total strangers, can't talk, say, in front of my 25 student comp2 class, but put me in front of 1000 people at a banquet or something and I'm all words. Weird huh?

If that's your biggest problem then you shuld consider yourself a very fortunate man

At least you talked to a girl; that's more progress than most people here have made.

That's how I am. My wife gets all pissed when she tries to introduce me to her work friends and their husbands because she says "you're trying to be anti-social!" It's not that I'm trying, it's just that I've been shy my entire life, it's not something you just turn on.

The odd thing is, I do desktop support at work, so good customer service skills are a must and I excel there. I have no trouble talking to people at work, even people I've never met. Maybe it's because I know they are looking to me to fix their problems? I have no idea.

I do a bit better in those situations, too, but my co-workers who I deal with every day have no clue what I'm really like. I just can't seem to let the real me come out and play.
