>no social skills, no friends >"just make small talk with a cashier" >they usually don't even look at me when taking my order What do Jow Forums? How do I become a confident speaker that can talk about anything and be interesting?
How do I have fun conversations with people? Say if I went to a bar and started talking to a couple of people. Why would they want to talk to me instead of the friend(s) they are with?
>tfw spending another night in my room, alone, after going to the gym
Just keep talking to people you have to keep your social skills fit as well. it's like lifting, you'll find it easier and you will even pick up a few things the more you do it
>How i can talk about interesting things >spending all day at home Really makes me think
Henry Carter
Who do I talk to though?
List of people I see regularly: >cashier at various stores when I buy food >coworkers (but usually I sit at my desk and don't actually see them except in passing in the halls) And that's it
What should I do instead? I've looked at meetup, not interested in anything in my area
You talk to your co-workers you wad. Pop culture, other people's hobbies, whatever
Jason Clark
People aren’t interesting. Pop culture is not interesting. Fuck off with this shit. Pop culture is stagnant. Nobody gives a fuck that you can parrot normie memes.
"be more interesting" is code for the superficial qualities like looks and money that people are too cowardly to admit are what they really want.
Cooper Nguyen
Listen to a shit load of stand up, and podcasts of comedians talking to each other. Old O&A are good, but starting to get dated. Just listen for how to be funny, tell a good story, or take the piss in a friendly way. Don’t copy jokes directly, but you’ll pick up on technique.
Nolan Jones
What is a confident speaker?
Austin Evans
Problem is that they all know I'm autistic, so I can't just start talking with them. Am I supposed to walk up to one of their desks, out of the blue and ask how their day is going?
>tfw see coworkers computers, everyone in group chats on Skype that I'm never part of
Find a hobby and make yourself interesting. You sound like a boring fuck.
If youre in rural areas try woodworking, beer or wine craft, get a beater car to work on and take it to meets.
If youre in the city just do more liberal things, get involved in a dnd club, join a language exchange event and learn a language (chinese is a good one).
People dont want to talk to you because you likely have nothing interesting to say. Get good at something and people involved in that hobby and passionate people will talk with you for hours over it.

fucking this, normies get out REEEE
Ian Garcia
Groups, your coworkers, make random small talk when you're out
Asher Hill
Thanks for the suggestions
>dnd Sounds interesting, but don't know where to find one. Nothing on meetup
>language I'm trying to learn french, but I'm nowhere good enough to go to a language exchange
The only other hobby I'm doing is dance lessons, but I don't talk to anyone at them. don't know what to say really
>tfw im a weirdo autist spaz but have no problem talking to people like coworkers and being funny, definitely a hell of a lot moreso than the stuff they talk about (not like clown funny, but just making jokes/observational humor) >never have any real in depth conversations with anyone about anything because i never take anything seriously because im a friendless permavirgin autist who hides all details about my life because i dont want people to know what a friendless virgin shut in i am so i psuh people away in that sense too
even worse, i compltely shut down in bar/restaurant environments around these same people. be at work with a few coworkers no problem talking to them, making them laugh, etc... go to a restaurant with them and i literally sit there mute.

are you me

I keep my social gains in this new city by having deep conversions with bitches I meet on tinder, then fucking them silly. Win win for me desu
My problem is holding a conversation because my interests dont revolve around small talk bull shit. I'll go on for hours about privacy issues, engineering, business ideas, finance, and abstract shit. Even public policy and how to better the world.
However. That shit flies over most people's heads as it's too much for them. Fuck. That's supposedly too much for most people.
It's a lonely world bro. Natural conversations are the best. I'm alone bbecause I can't give a fuck.
Liam Thompson
People make shit up a lot to fit in. Something I fucking despise. You can be just like them. Just pretend you know what they are talking about.
Jacob Diaz
You just need to stay calm and be comfortable making small touches >5 hour long bus ride >sit next to a qt >after 2 hours of talking we are making out and I'm fingering her soaked pussy
Anthony Davis
girls care tho
Alexander Bailey
Yeah I don't really know the solution to this. Kinda worrying you see people posting this problem so often these days. If it helps I met most of my long-time friends through hobbies we enjoyed doing
see thats the thing, i dont. in fact i am actually pretty talkative and such. something about restaurants makes me shut down though
Connor Barnes
>how do you seem more interesting Ask questions
Wyatt Brown
If there were two of you in a room, what would the conversation look like? Would you want to be there and would you enjoy the others' company? Face yourself first user.
