GET TO IT BROTHAS!
>they want to take a picture at the end and go right to me to take it, dont even make an attempt to want me included in it
Ok, that's kind of a red flag, a normal person (I'm assuming a girl initiated the photo) would have taken a group selfie, but in any case, you still have to include yourself in more stuff.
>go to a restaurant where i stay pretty quiet
When everyone is talking, just give your opinion on what theya re talking about. Wait for a lull, or for a point between two people to come to a relative close, then say wehat you think. It;s that fuckin simple. And yes, you'll have to force it the first many many times, but it will become natural. Also, if anyone ever asks why you are so quiet, just say you are listening, or thinking. My very charismatic friend gets away with this when he's not talking, it's probably cause it';s true. That's the thing, if you actually listen to them instead of being off in your own social anxiety ridden world, you'll not only be more into the conversation and ready to say what you think, but you will LOOK more engaged too, your body language says everything, and people will be more likely to engage you. that;s just how it works, animals have been reading body language for 500 million years, it's just subconcious and automatic at this point.
>>drive with a few of the girls to subway station to drop me off and one starts hitting me with questions trying to find out stuff about myself and i give short/ambiguous or joke answers like i do with the others to hide my pathetic life from everyone
This makes me think they weren't that bad, if they tried engaging you, they actually genuinely wanted to know about you. And while seeming a bit aloof can get you kinda far in the realm of "mysterious guy" it only works if you are acting non autistically, so sure, give short of joke answers some of the time if you don;t want to expound, but they only way you get closer to people is by learning about each other.
cont.
(You)
So, tell them about yourself! It's ok you aren't happy with your life, many people aren't. You have to realize that perfect happiness all the time is basically unachievable, even though it makes a good goal or something to strive for. Life is a struggle, for all things, no one has it easier, any better or any worse than anyone else, because it's all relative nigga.
>i will never overcome my pathetic life. it will ruin any chances i have to imrpove
You litewrally have to believe in yourself. You fake it til you make it. When you exude compassion, strength, love, bravery, honor from yourself, the world can feel that, and will react to you accordingly. But you have to attempt to feel that way first, stop sulking. You need structure, balance, adaptability, and flexibility in your life.
Before I go any further. Tell me about your life. REALLY tell me, use this as practice.
redpill me on the no shampoo meme, wouldn't my hair get greasy as shit if i didn't use it?
>Want to get into a new hobby
>Was thinking of skateboarding or doing /out/ stuff
>It all costs more money than I have
What are some quality free or cheap hobbies that are Jow Forums and preferably /out/?
i appreciate you responding to me ill respond to a few of these things
>Ok, that's kind of a red flag, a normal person (I'm assuming a girl initiated the photo) would have taken a group selfie
yes a girl wanted to take a group photo and immediately went to me to take it. im not sure why youd think the initiator would want to take the photo, she wanted to post it on her own social media account so obviously she wanted to be in it. it just feels a little bad that they didnt even make an attempt to say "lets find someone who can take a pic of all of us", they dont even want a memory of me in the photo even though i hate photos anyway, so clearly they just want to forget my existence there which makes sense considering how ugly and pathetic i am
>and while seeming a bit aloof can get you kinda far in the realm of "mysterious guy"
the girl who was asking me that stuff even said that my lack of answers just makes her more interested and how im a mysterious
enigma or whatever.
>Before I go any further. Tell me about your life. REALLY tell me, use this as practice.
there is nothing to tell or to learn about me. i've lived almost as pathetic of a life as is humanly possible. 26 years old, kissless virgin never had a gf or even asked a girl out (have never cared), no friends, live with parents, basically a shut in, dont really enjoy anything. my entire life is beyond pathetic, so im sure you can see why i intentionally try to hide my life from other people. and please, if i ever tried to be honest with people about this, they would outcast me even more than they already do. its not about just "not being happy with my life", its that my life would actively repel people from me. believe me i wish i could be honest with people and not have to either lie or just give short ambiguous answers about everything, but its what i have to do
