Practice. It gets easier with practice

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago

Nah, when it comes to social shit like that, you just have not give a fuck what people think about you anymore, because honestly, they probably fucking aren't. You'd have to be pretty egotistical to think so, and if you were, you'd probably be one of those douche bags that bothers girls who don't want to talk to them.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 37 points 4 months ago

Yeah, and that requires practice.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 22 points 4 months ago

Or you could do the super smart cheat code way and eat waaay too many mushrooms one night thinking you can handle it, then get your ego absolutely fucking annihilated, realize you are actually one with the entirety of the universe and therefore actually just one with the girl you wanna talk to as all things are intrinsically entwined and you've finally achieved total absolute understanding of life and existence itself and hope you can explain it to her after it wears off with that same clarity without using the words "I'm literally inside you".

Or so I hear...

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago

Idk man I'd someone said this to me, I'd slowly back away. Mushrooms are cool, but not a silver bullet in anyway.

Hint: Enlightened people probably aren't posting on Lemmy. XD

You had me at first but lost me at the end. Social anxiety and low self confidence is the opposite of egotistic

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Are these mutually exclusive?

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Absolutely not, but one can recognize the others disinterest and be ok with that and one won't stop to think you couldn't possibly not be interested in them, or care really care wether you are or not because you should be. The latter obviously ~~Clint~~ the douche.

A well written resume, a firm handshake, and a willingness to knock on doors is the key to success.

[-] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 14 points 4 months ago

Don't be afraid to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

[-] Atropos@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

I keep doing exactly this to the girl at the gas station but it hasn't worked yet??

[-] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Maybe ask first?

[-] orcrist@lemm.ee 41 points 4 months ago

Anon never learned "practice makes perfect" lol.

[-] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

OP also did not go outside for the past 15 years

[-] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

Not being able to treat people like people because they have different genitals, proving age is just a number.

[-] jmj88@lemm.ee 15 points 4 months ago

What no one says is you have to make a fool of yourself quite a few times before it gets easy. But it’s worth it.

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Legit feel bad for people who are socialized like this.

[-] DemocratPostingSucks@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago

It might be true, but it's the last thing people need to hear when they're 15

[-] Spesknight@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Wait to turn 40, I don't give a f**k anymore what people think...

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

That only works if you manage to make it there without hating YOURSELF.

[-] VagueDirector@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

Yeah I am coming to the same realisation. If anything it gets worse, since as an adult you are naturally going to be more isolated when you aren't forced to socialize.

[-] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 3 points 4 months ago

Pretend you like, and are interested in the meaning of, her unnecessary wrist tattoo. That's good for at least 5 minutes of conversation.

[-] rain_worl@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

hey look at this painting-....

unicode needs to add a negative space
