Is talking effay?

>>11861011
I speak around 20 words a day, but a lot more subconsciously

>>11861011
Don't talk unless absolutely necessary. Don't even say goodbye to people. Just exit. Numales talk relentlessly. Don't become one of them

>>11861014
I see, lol.. I am like at 200+ words a day I think, I wasn't paying attention to it until recently..

>>11861024
I don't want to be rude or anything, I think I will still be greeting etc, but with a "tired" voice so it sounds forced

>>11861011
Most of my day-to-day vocabulary was curated by listening to Longmont Potion Castle CDs for hours a day, so I typically use words and phrases like "every which way," "take a peep," "gander," "where do you stand," "saddle up," "up 'ere," and "fella."

I also typically only speak when spoken to

>>11861028
Well a one word "goodbye" would be sufficient. A solid goodbye and exit with no hesitation is very dominant respectable behavior

Yes it is. Having friends is fa once you grow out of the le depressed edgy phase. read how to win friends and influence people. it makes socializing so much easier.

>>11861035
Those words are dangerously numale-esque. Be careful there

>>11861055
I agree with influencing people for self gain but any emotional "friend" attachment isn't necessary. Having people believe you are their friend is the key. Got to stay in control of people and take care of yourself only

I don't really talk a lot during the day, so most people assume I'm just really boring.

Know when to stop talking, and don't be loud, being loud is very uneffay.

Let other people have a chance to say what they want to say, consciously listening and being able to provide valid and interesting input to a conversation is very effay.

This is where I draw the line. This is where it fucking ends.

I'm wholeheartedly convinced that this board can be deleted and NOTHING of value would be lost. It does not spawn good conversation, it does not contribute anything at all to the site, it doesn't give good advice, it doesn't create OC, it does nothing at all but circlejerk over the term "/fa/" and take itself too serious.

How can anyone ACTUALLY ask this question? I used to think that these "IS X /FA/?????PLSRESOND" threads were satire but they keep popping up and keep getting serious responses.

But now I'm really tired of this shit. I've been here for over a year and I can safely say that 90% of the threads here are absolute shit. Mods and jannies don't care (if they are here at all). The only posters actually contributing anything at all are trips ffs, THE FUCKING TRIPS.

So here's my advice:
Act like a normal human being you fucking retard Jesus Christ stop being an edgy little faggot. I feel like I'm the only fucking person on this board who is older then 18, this shit is too much to take.

Thanks edgy machiavellian Anon.

Really though, if this post isn't satire.
This shouldn't need explaining. The most "/fa/" thing you can do is be confident in yourself and your individual style and not give a shit what people think.

>>11862775
That is the point, the people on here are younger than 18 and extremely insecure.

This is one of the top 3 dumbest cringe threads on /fa/ I've seen.

>>11861011
Never speak unless spoken to, and even then respond with only, "yes", "no", or *silence*.
Key part is that silence IS an option.
Also, never verbally ask for anything, /fa/ people do everything themselves, we can't rely on other people because, as many people on here would agree, people are always conspiring to fuck you over.
So in review, "yes", "no", or "................."

ITT: Socially inept morons who think it's cool to not be friendly or share your interests with people.

Fuck you and fuck your narcissism.

Yes, talking is effay. You don't want to come off as an autist.

Of course, though, listening is more effay than talking. Active listening, specifically. People like talking about themselves and shit that interests them. So if you encourage them to talk about those things, be attentive, get interested, and use appropriate body language, they'll enjoy talking to you. And if someone's clearly inviting you to talk about yourself, go ahead, but don't prattle on endlessly.

>>11861011
Not speaking is an easy way to stay noncontroversial.

You will never become a cult of personality without talking. However, you will also not ever become a total outcast or sperg either (exception: you give off a raper autist vibe).

Talking a lot is a risky behavior. It has big potential rewards but also huge potential drawbacks if you say the wrong things.

>>11861011
Not often. Pretty rare actually. Most conversations don't make me want to talk/participate. I kind of lost interest in talking recreationally/pointlessly/casually. Well not interest but ability. I can only talk when i really need to or when there's actually a point/goal. I can be witty sometimes, but most of the time i created those jokes in my head.

>>11864325
>people are always conspiring to fuck you over

Exactly. There are no "friends". At the end of the day you're on your own. Emotions get in the way and no-one will have your best interests.

>>11861055
It seems like you force yourself to be that kind of person. You make friends because you emotionally need them, not technically.
>muh networking
Bs

Networking and friends will get you nowhere. Its only going to mold you into whatever the network is. Don't rely on others. Be yourself and think for yourself. Talking and language don't have anything on actual self reflection

>>11864511
>Its only going to mold you into whatever the network is

hence why all comments are the same under every new reddit post, facetiously cheeky nonsense desperate to be so, so random and zany!

>>11861011
Jesus Christ, OP.
Talking is an essential part of making people feel comfortable around you - it's the gateway to making connections with both men and women.
Nobody wants to hang around a guy with a stone cold expression who doles out his words like they're nuggets of gold, regardless of how well-dressed he is. Just don't become the guy who does nothing but talk.
Women are a totally different matter.

>>11864516
Reddit is an echo chamber where actual questions and thinking against the norm are pushed to the bottom. Safe expected comments for karma and popularity are pushed to the top. This is what happens in real life as well

>>11864518
Of course we all know that. The problem is, most of us don't feel emotionally in need of interaction or companion. What's the point of doing something that you don't want to ? Like, i'm very lonely, but i find it very comfy.

>>11864539

I know exactly how you feel my man, but for people like us social interaction has to viewed as a tool for gaining resources in the form of business connections, career opportunities, pussy, etc..
Your indifference is a gift - it means you can reap the benefits of using people without feeling lonely. Many successful people do this.

>>11864553
Not him but yes, that is all you can do. When you look out for yourself social interaction is only useful for self gain/sex.

>>11861011

being social is all about talking.
staying quiet will make you look like a shy loser.

shy losers are not considered effay.

Its pretty clear that some of the people ITT are devoid of strong emotions and have some type to ASPD. This is very apparent in some of these posts. Not saying this is a bad thing, some people crave and need social interaction and others view it as the means to self gain.

>>11863150

This thread again, I thought we already told you insecure, autistic rejects of society that questions like this are utterly stupid and usually come from asement with rarely any human interaction.

Conforming to a standard of talking made by a fellow loser on a Cambodian duck grooming forum only shows that you're already un/fa/. Someone who is /fa/ talks how they like it's all down to your aura and charisma at the end of the end which determine whether people like talking at all.

Some people just want to do that anyway. I can be genuinely disinterested in someone who's speaking with me and they'll still prattle on regardless.

The only advice I can think of regarding conversation and being "effay" is learning when not to speak. Not everything needs to be continued or expanded upon in conversation, and you don't need to tell someone everything on your mind. Being concise is key.

The most un/fa/ thing to do is put on a fake personality because of what you think will make you seem deep and brooding.

Talking is good. A person who is normally quiet but when they speak they speak with confidence is even better. The occasional "banter" is also effay, just make sure you do it well, to the right people at the right time.

Don't try to normalize your lack of friends or charisma. Being what is doing what makes you feel confident. If you like talking to people in a meaningful way then that's fine. If not, that's also fine. There are definitely people who talk too much though. I guess you could live by the philosophy that silence never sounds bad.

I used to pour Pepsi in a bowl and microwave it. Then, I'd eat with a spoon, like soup.

I try to talk but my voice is naturally soft and hushed so I usually have to repeat myself.

I dont see myself as very silent but people say i should talk more all the time. I never get What i should be talking about. I almost never think the conversations are interesting and most of the time i am actualy irritated by the dumb shit people are saying. I see it as being passive to normie behaviour. I do talk to my patrician friends and we have lenghty conversations about shit thats actualy interesting. I'd rather remain silent if there is nothing important to say. Fuck all these social fags. Plebs shut up.

I'm kind and talkative to girls
I barely speak with guys (except my friends)

Since it's now my favorite activity atleast I make it work for good.

'Nothing to say'

>>11867796
Of course you can be yourself. Try it sometimes, don't worry what other people think if they hear you.
However be attentive when talking with someone, mind their feelings but be honest, brutally so if needed, but do not unnecessarily hurt them. In the very specific case that you need something from somebody, try your best not to lie but to omit things. If asked directly, it is best to be be honest, as this will build trust between the two parties. If absolutely needed lie, but know that it will most certainly become obvious some time in the future, and that trust will be broken, and with it possibly the trust of other fine relationships you built.
I can talk honestly with all my friends, and many acquaintances became friends after we had some honest words with each other.

Last thing, and this is where I always fuck up, is be honest with your loved ones, nothing saps the meaning and kills a love relationship that dishonesty. You will rationalize this by thinking you protect the other and stabilize your couple, but you end up manipulating both of you, which will never end well. Not couple related, but the last people I still voluntarily am dishonest with are my parents, my mother especially, she is too emotional and I am worried the meaning will be misunderstood.

Or be a fucking sociopath if you have no social instinct, I sometimes envy you, but at the same time being social is such a core part of the human experience for me that I would not let it go. Feelings seem to go against logic sometimes, and this is when you go back and reflect on yourself. When you understand the root of your feelings, you can feel you truly are honest not only with others but with yourself as well. This is when you feel in peace with yourself and the world

can hiro just delete this board finally? one of the key differencies between reddit and 4chan is that people here are usually more self-aware and boards usually have some sort of self-irony. this board has more insecurity and autism than /r9k/ and any other board. the only difference is that robots are self-aware and half-joking, meanwhile all these insecure underage /fa/ggots will try to not just deny their autism and other mental illness, but somehow manage to claim them effay. and im pretty sure the same people who make these completely nonsense threads are the ones who unironically brag in attractive threads without any proof. you dont realise that being different can mean worse than the average. you only care about not being a normie, without the realisation that youre just worse. you can see this happening in so many threads, from waywt to these

>>11872904
The difference you're noticing is actually your own intelligence. Consider IQ which mainly measures pattern recognition. We could take one root idea of a pattern and progressively make it more complex until someone (X) with an IQ of y had trouble spotting it. Someone with an y+10 IQ would probably spot it, but X couldn't. You don't have the intelligence to notice the underlying self-awareness/etc. that runs on /fa/, but a much simpler and exaggerated form found on r9k is within your grasp. The problem is with you.

When you grow up, you will realize that yes, most people are not interesting to you (you are a special, unique, thoughtful snowflake btw) and have nothing to contribute in a friendship with you. But, you will never become friends with valuable people unless you learn to fucking socialize by talking to people you fucking freakazoid. But I'm sure you are great at socializing, you just choose not to do it, because you have better ways to spend your time.

Language creates your reality. It is the computer code of our world

If you know more than one language you realize that words take different meanings and intonations in different languages. Even the exact same phrase will at times mean something completely different. Language creates reality only in its localized group. Actions get shit done on a world level
