first time i read something by you that didnt' make me sick to my stomach. +1
Suffice:
I don't consider myself super sociable, or gregarious if u wanna use the precise word...
It's definitely not hard for me to talk to many very different people, especially when it's one on one conversations, but in groups i tend to lose my sense of desire to say anything meaningful. I think the most important thing when interacting with someone is just being able to carry on a conversation, and if u sense that this person doenst wanna talk about something, switch to something else. And although i despise smalltalk, sometimes u gotta do a lil bit to get the stone rolling. With girls though its all about confidence though. I don't really try to get with girls unless i definitely know i'm into them, cuz then when they bore me i start to bore them cuz i just can't pretend to be interested. Which brings me to this personal truth - i try to socialize with people i can say more than 10 sentences to. U may be thinkin "duh" but i know people who hang out and they just seem to talk about bullshit the whole time. I think it will all fall into place at some point, but you, I, and i think most people in the their teens and early 20s don't have it all completely figured out. Peace

its all confidence and not over-thinking. if you just relax and be yourself it flows naturally. when people sit somewhere, say talkin to a girl, and theyre all uptight and tryna think of what to say, thats when it gets awkward, so i guess the most important thing is just being relaxed, not tryin to overextend yourself, and just be who you are with confidence.
haha thats mad corny, but maybe its helpful...

with me, if i don't somebody i won't be able to conversate with them properly
however, i'll observe some common interests we may have and whatever; eventually once i figure that out, i build a conversation based on that
