Pyrrhic Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 -Speaking in public. - Stop talking like a horses ass. FIXED That is pretty sh*tty advice. What you're saying is basically the way to speak well in public is to speak well in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Fandango Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 There's a whole lot of anachronistic and/or misapplied psychology in this thread. tbh, most of you are at a statistically normal stage of teenage development. Pretty soon you'll find that you were never an "introvert" or "sociophobe" (laughable concepts). It's really just a lack of confidence- and a person's confidence or lack thereof is purely a reaction to their peers. Basically, you'll eventually meet people who genuinely love hearing what you have to say, you'll never feel awkward around them and that will translate into a broader feeling of confidence.

bluetops Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I can't start a conversation. I just join one... That's it... And sometimes, I don't like to be criticized. But I'm a f*cking talkative person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like there's some crazy, hidden psychoanalytic reason why you can't speak in public; you weren't born with an affliction. It's just a skill you're unwilling to learn.

I<3GTAV Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'm scared of talking to teachers. I always get nervous, I start to sweat and my face turns red. It's really embarrassing. I'm also really quiet, my schools full of judgemental assholes so when I was younger, I would always be made fun of for the littlest things, and it caused me to become socially awkward and not like talking to people.

Johan Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 -Speaking in public. -Eating and drinking in public. (When I eat with my parents once a month I literally put on headphones while I'm eating and put something on) -Attending parties. (Hate being around so many people) -Being observed and feeling judged or criticized. -Looking at others in the eyes. (I tend not to look at many people in their eyes for more than 2 seconds, I start looking to my bottom left then back up for a second) -Being introduced to others. -Meeting people of the opposite sex. -Being in enclosed areas amongst other people. -Speaking in front of people with authority. -Paying or receiving compliments. (I can't say thank you at all, one time a girl complimented my hoodie in the staircase and I just nodded me head which got her mad) -Being the centre of attention.

All I'm say is that you have no place to make people feel bad about their shortcomings because you were/are in a similar situation. All you are doing is causing harm because you think you're superior in some sort of way. Ugh, I'm getting to the point where I dislike you. EDIT: What does GTA have to do with this?

Mr.Mordecai Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Honestly, I can't hold a conversation to save my life. I don't know what to talk about, and it makes me self concious.

H.I.M. Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I suck at the phone. Due to my voice people think it's my father and then go directly speaking and ten I've to say "Umm. Who's this?" to make them see the point that I am his son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsenal_fan Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I hate phones mainly due to the fact its easier for people to say no to me, for example trying to take a day of work off. I've always been confident physically, I do have a swag and a bit of cockiness but I've always been very self conscious of my voice. I believe its mainly due to the fact that what I hear in my ears compared to say a recording of me is completely different, therefore I have no idea what my voice will sound like. Also not a fan of big crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. León Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Something that has worked for me is creating a little voice in my head, that way, when I'm acting awkward, I can hear it telling me "c'mon, don't be a p*ssy" or "don't be an asshole". It may seem crazy, but it worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
