Just say whatever, and I mean WHAT EVER is on your mind

You can talk about the most ridicilous, stupid shit with people if you just show general interest and speak with confidence

Focus ALL YOUR ENERGY, on the person you're conversing with, not on yourself
What that means is basically:
>NEVER think "is what I'm saying stupid?" - That's thinking about YOURSELF
>NEVER think "Am I impressing this person, am I cool" - That's thinking about YOURSELF

Instead, focus completely on the person/group you're talking to and try to vibe in on their energy

If you can't think of anything to say, ask questions, if you start to become self-aware again, return your energy to the person you're talking with.


Understand that 95% of dialogue is just 1 thing: Exchange of energy
What you say doesn't really mean jack shit

>tfw just sit in corner and hardly talk and people fucking love me at parties

Seriously all you have to do if you're awkward as fuck is just be there, don't sit in a corner by yourself like an outcasted jackass, but just sit with a group and go along with whatever and throw some absurd smartass comments here and there

>>35389655
this is a good post. it's true, and I recently realized this while going on a few tinder dates. one girl I had instant chemistry with, even though we didn't have much in common. but we just rambled nonsensically and made retarded jokes all night and she was kinda fugly desu.

the next girl was cute, we were in the same field, had lots of things "in common", but boring, typical "get to know you" conversations. no real chemistry. even though it made sense that we would get along more, the energy wasn't there.

point being, I had a firsthand experience w what this guy was talking about. its all about the vibe - watch RSD in field videos and see that these guys are literally just spewing nonsense and most importantly ENJOYING THEMSELVES
>>
>>35389581
work up to it throughout the day. if you know you have to be social later, be social all day. force yourself to small talk with cashiers, coworkers, whoever. Smile at people you run into. be friendly to everyone and get into the mindset that you aren't inherently awkward and boring. that's just you overthinking everything.

you only get what you put out into the world.
>>
>>35389581
>Not being the guy who sits in the corner all night
I'm pretty much that guy and I feel like it's one of the best ways to come off as interesting.

I get at least 2-3 people, drunk or sober, come and talk to me. Then like other anons said, you talk about yourself as little as possible.

>Hey bud, do you want a drink?
Sorry, don't drink.
>But why not?
I have my reasons(of course to preserve gains).

>So what do you do?
My job is rather complicated. It's better if I don't tell you.

>Hey Anon, Stacy thinks your cute. You should dance with her.
Tell Stacy I'm already infatuated with the beautiful night we're having

This way, I see more people talking about me at parties. I only seem to struggle with getting people's numbers and following up.

This is true. Spending the day dicking around on 4chan before going out is not a recipe for being a social butterfly.

It's just a matter of practice. "Social gains" are like physical gains in that when I don't go out or socialize much for a few months, it's harder to get back out there. Just go to whatever social stuff you can, whether it be parties, out with bros, social events at your gym, etc. it's just a matter of spending the time talking to people and becoming confident in your social skills.

It's funny how the autists need to programme themselves into being a decent person

The most fundamental desire every human being you will come across has is the desire to be appreciated.

Becoming socially gifted is mostly a process of increasing the apparent worth of your appreciation (by giving the impression that you are confident and that your shit is more or less together) and then letting people have it. The rest of the social stuff builds on that foundation of being the pusher man pushing the drug that everybody is subconsciously addicted to.


But to answer your question more specifically, OP, you avoid that by introducing yourself to whoever's around as soon as you walk in the spot, and just flowing the questions from there.

Wow, you're making some very uninformed assumptions.

You will never be free aslong as you continue to adher to these social-engineering alghorithims.

You talk about how thinking about yourself is a bad thing - and how you should invest all of your energy into the group. But for what purpose? to draw attention to yourself. To make yourself likable. It's selfish, unauthentic and disgenuine.

Do you think that girl in the OP would have any concerns over being interesting at parties?

Nope. Because everyone will instantly value her due to her exuberant physical appearance.

Looks matter.

>>
>>35389992

What do you do then? You go to parties and enjoy hanging out maybe? Most people lurking this thread probably don't enjoy it, don't find it comfortable, and only want to be there because they want to be normal.

If you're so amazingly non-broken in the mind unlike the rest of the people here what exactly are we supposed to do? I mean, we're fucking near hopeless since we're asking for advice on an image board which may have contributed to our being fucked up anyways. We're trying but we're fucking lost.
>>
>>35389581
Go up to people that seem cool and introduce yourself and say you only know 1 guy at the party, if they seem open to you just start talking about the party and asking questions. Ask about their personal lives, what they do etc.., don't make it seem like an interrogation either. It's NYE so you have an easy topic right there, two in fact, "how was your year?" and "any resolutions?", maybe you can tell them about something crazy that happened to you on another NYE, or maybe you can ask them what they did for xmas.

these things are all easier said than done.

if you have interests, pursue them. if you don't, develop them. if you don't want to do that, than you are probably super depressed (you are probably super depressed, I know I was when I was just browsing 4chan all the time).

if you're super depressed get a therapist and get on medication. I reccomend some sort of spiritual practice also but i know herpderp gay.

since you're asking, i assume you at least have some interest in improving your life. but it isn't easy and there is no "end goal", like lifting it's a never-ending process. My life still kinda sucks, but is getting marginally better.

i think most people are scared of change. even if its change for the better. i was watching some self help video and the guy made a great point: you have to be willing to give up everything you have at any point. if your job is making you miserable, and you aren't willing to leave it, you are fucking yourself over in the long run. etc.

I'm a big believer on "stripping away" everything that isn't serving you in life. I got rid of all my social media (time goblins), stopped watching porn for the most part and stopped spending time with loser friends who bring me down. started meditating and stretching more and going on tinder dates.

i would reccomend starting by going into your terminal and blocking your machine from even being able to access 4chan or porn or any of that shit. this place is cancer

I go to university across the country in a very lively city and a great night life. However, I have not talked to anyone since I have been here. I only leave my apartment to buy groceries and the occasional orange juice. I rarely attend classes and just study from the textbook. The only person I have talked to is my bank advisor in setting up my new VISA card. Sometimes when I am in line at the grocery waiting to order some food some people randomly make remarks to me or try to say something to me and I just freeze up and make agreeing noises and say very little like "heh yeah" or "I don't know". I think there is something wrong with me. I am going to see a therapist on January 5th to discuss the issues I have but do you guys think I am past the point of no return?

I agree with the sentiment that for some people, it is better to just be alone.

>all this butthurt

Social gains, much like fitness gains, involve struggle and pain. You are going to embarass yourselves and you will feel like more of a loser than ever before. You are the social equivalent of the fatass who ate nothing but shit and sat on his as for the first 25 years of his life.

>just go out and interact with people.

Don't get mad when you hear this, this is just the first step. What do you tell a fatass that wants to start exercising? Just get up and walk. Think back to when you first started lifting. You started with the basics. Simple exercises that taught you proper form and how to structure your routine. Then you took those lessons and moved on to more advanced routines, added a diet plan, and learned how to let your body recover.

The concept for social health are very similar, you start by going out and talking to people. Ask questions, try small talk, and endure the discomfort. Eventually, you start picking up on social cues and desire more fulfilling interaction. So you move on to more structured social environments. Trivia nights at bars or bookstores, simple athletic leagues, volunteer work, etc.

It's going to be uncomfortable and embarrassing, guaranteed. So was getting fit

This.
A couple of simple questions to get a conversation running for at least 10 minutes.

>Why are you here/how do you know the host?
Do you know that guy too? Talk about him. Any funny annecdote or whatever you have about him?
>Where do you live?
Do you know where he lives? Been there yourself? Heard anything about it? Mention it. Ask if he likes it there.
>How did you get here?
Anything funny happened on the way there? Got lost? Lots of traffic? Saw something interesting on the way? Mention it.
>Where do you work/study?
Same principle. If you know anything about it, mention it, no matter how dumb. Maybe ask for his opinion. Is it true that ...?

Hopefully he will reciprocate and ask you about the topics you brought up. They're foolproof because they're extremely impersonal, so even if you're incredibly uninteresting, you can still talk about them. Even if you're unemployed you can talk about what searching for a job is like or whatever.

Then when you're done find another smallish group of people with not too many women and repeat.

lmao that self-condemnation. don't be so hard on yourself, man.
it's true that it's hard to become the life of the party when your actions are constantly coloured by your past but change is possible. if it wasn't all of existence would not have happened.
it's a long path to walk but simply denying that there is anything to be done because you feel overwhealmed by the task is not the right way.

jesus christ, I guarantee you that the world is not just populated by psychopathic women. you're projecting super mega hard dude. lots of people have healthy relationships, and the fact that you have had a bad run may have more to do with YOU than with women as a species.

or maybe it's just bad luck. either way, do what you have to do.
>>
>>35390726

You've got a long way to go before you start worrying about whether or not a girl is being genuine.

Start by seeing how many 10+ minute conversations you can have in a day, then a week, then increase the limit to 15+ minutes, etc.

You might laugh, but become a 'yes man'

If someone invites you to do shit with them, just go for it. If you're in uni, don't just spend all your time in your dorm, classroom, and cafeteria. Hang out with the people on your floor, hangout with your classmates, especially the ones in your major.

Even if they're going to buy food or go to the store, you don't have to spend money if you want to preserve your gains/money, and just enjoy their company.

Dom is over the top, but since you're an autist, you'll be afraid to go that far, meaning you'll settle halfway and act normie

also have 2 shots' worth of alcohol as soon as you get there to loosen you up then have about 1 drink/hour. don't get black out drunk, but if you do, make sure it's later in the night. I had a party last week and some fuckhead was vomiting an hour in and hogging a bathroom. don't be that guy

I could waste all that time chasing a unicorn, or I could spend all that time in the gym and make actual progress, individually.

it's a joke.

>>35390778
People personalities change based off of their place in life, experiences, and etc. Saying someone isn't that "guy" at a certain time doesn't mean he can't or won't be. The one's who never had to think about it are the ones who grew up in that environment with those experiences so it comes more naturally. Whereas, others have to work for it... social gains are a skill.. hell everything is a skill. If you never spent time socializing what makes you think you will be good at it?

I think some people are different. I am not saying that social gains cannot be made on the long run. I had the hardest time but when I left high school I started lifting weights and socializing more. I have had 4 long term relationships and a lot of non commited relationships. Nowadays I work and social life is becoming stagnant. My natural instinct is to keep to myself and I can spend days drawing on photoshop and working out. However I force myself to see friends or go out. It's like everything else. But for me its not natural. I can see myself becoming a shut in in a minute.

well, I need to rationalize my opinion, no?

hey, in a perfect world girls would avoid drama and play no games, and wouldnt fuck around on you. but that isnt how real life works.

on the other hand, if I focus on myself, I can make guaranteed progress and improve myself 100%. but all the time you spend chasing girls that results in nothing, is wasted time.

i'd rather focus on training than trying to "pick up" girls. that is all. maybe I am jaded, but objectively focusing on training/eating well is a far better choice than just trying to pick up girls.

I suffer from tourettes and it already took some time getting use to going to the gym and making my noises without people looking at me, like running on a treadmill but my hands are up in the air or smacking the back of my neck constantly or every time someone does a grunt I react to it with a need to grunt earlier.

I tried suppressing it once completely during a work out but ended up fainting from forgetting to breath.

No, if you don't give a fuck then you wouldn't feel the need to rationalize why you don't give a fuck.

You're better off being honest with yourself, accepting that women upset you, then moving on with your life. Eventually you won't even notice how much you don't give a fuck because you won't actually give a fuck

It'll be harder in that case. Did you do anything extracurricular growing up, karate/rock-climbing/gymnastics/swimming/sports? You could try looking around your area and taking classes or joining a local club for that. Maybe try something new- I tried out fencing and liked it quite a lot. I even got a chance to meet a couple of olympic fencers(and I live in the middle of nowhere, Idaho). There's tons of things to do out there, you just have to look for it.

>>
>>35389581
Start looking in the the paper for current events. This also depends on the age of the crowd, if they are older, 30+ you might want to stick more local, if younger 18-25, just read about celebrity affairs. Hang with your friend and casually listen around you, somebody is going to be talking, try to relate and migrate into that topic. It's not going to work if you over think it, you just need to be social and realize there are other people there that don't know many people. Try to find people who are only hanging with one other person of the same sex as you and introduce yourself. Say you feel awkward because you only know one person there and just talk, it isnt that hard if you relax.

Eh. Depends on your air. If you're confident and just kinda hang out maybe try being the music guy. Play top 40 shit and some indie radio shit and just kinda hang out and drink beer and focus on that, that's what I do and I just dress nicely with clothes that accentuate my physique without being too douchey and have good hygiene and girls literally won't leave me alone. That or I just spend it goofing around with my bro and the fact that I have an air of confidence and am genuinely having fun make others like me and want to join in. Don't be afraid, and don't be a dick. Honestly I really feel like it all just comes down to your attitude, if you're there TRYING to come off a certain way, people will feel that and be off put by it. Just have fun and don't be a dick. That's honestly the whole deal.
>>
>>35391139

im whiny? well this is an internet forum, im just saying how I feel. women dont torment me, but I am kinda bored dealing with them.

I mean, what is the reward for putting up with them? sex a few times a week? is that worth the money, effort, and time you waste?

I dont think so. at least if I focus on myself I can make definite gains, whereas if you dump a lot of time into a girl, what is stopping her from cheating on you?

look at all these threads with people moping after losing 4-5 year relationships. is that worth it?

so you're the guy who tells the same shitty stories every time you're drunk that everybody has already heard at least 12 times but you still keep telling the same shitty stories about your dead guinea-pig or something equally retarded like a dream that you had 5 years ago, and even after somebody mentions that we have heard the story already you keep telling it all the way to the end

it's obnoxious as fuck

v true. that's part of the reason why i took up a contract in sales. after i'm done i want to start my own PT business and eventually start a gym. but i figured i needed to develop my social abilities until i could do that. and so far my job has been taching me everything i hoped it would.

Here's a step by step green text guide OP and anybody interested:
> 1. "Pregame" the party (Drink a little beforehand so you show up with a buzz already).
> 2. Find the first person you know who happens to be talking to people you don't know.
> 3. Say hi to this person, small talk for 10-15 seconds, then turn and introduce yourself to the group (Congrats you just made a few new acquaintances).
> 4. Talk for 5 minutes with the group or someone in the group.
> 5. Move to another group and repeat steps 2-5 a few times (Congrats, half the party is familiar with you.
> 6. Bounce between groups, don't stay anywhere too long. Make yourself seem in demand by moving frequently ("Hey I gotta go say hi to my friend, but let's take a shot later").

If you don't know anybody at the party, you can start the process by saying, "Hey, I like your shirt, where'd you get it," to any stranger and then proceeding from there. You did it, you're a social creature now.

Host drink games, everyone will recognize you and you will automatically become the "fun guy" great ice breaker

yes

it just seems like everyone drifts apart and pops out kids. and if you want to be single, you are fucked.
>>
>>35391919
Here's the secret. EVERYBODY fresh out of college feels this way, but NOBODY wants to take the initiative. Pick a social hobby, talk to someone who seems cool a few times, invite them to social activity, repeat. Pretty soon not only will you have a social circle, but you'll be the center of it.

Volunteer work, my friend. I work at a soup kitchen and for Habitat for Humanity. It's great on multiple levels.

>doing something productive for the community
>meet and talk to some very interesting people
>Looks great on a resume
>So easy to get laid that it's almost criminal.

It's easy to interact with the regular volunteers and make friends, habitat usually skews towards people in their 20's and early 30's. The best part, though, is all the people who come in to work off community service. The chick are usually nervous as fuck, so you can really develop a good rapport and play the nice asshole. The guys are pretty chill too.

I sometimes feel bad because I know too many people and and can't hang out with some as much as I'd like.

U do understand sales is in every industry ?
Some of the most wealthy people in america started as salesmen

I dont mean pointing at tvs at best buy

I mean fuck even if they just sell cars they should make at least 60-70k with effort (all the neets)

And educated annons can chose their feild i know a guy who sells oil refinary equiptment travels all over central america and the east cost and makes well over 400k a year

See here's where this shit falls short. I am the only non-mormon in Utah, and everyone who has read the "scriptures" has a slight different tone of talking, not to mention no alcohol.

I think you missed the part where I said find a social hobby. If you sign up for a rec ultimate league, your randomly assigned teammate is not going to be weirded out when you ask if they wanna get drinks after gameday. If you volunteer at a Red Cross event, another volunteer is not going to be weirded out by you talking to them. I did not suggest going on a bus and trying to talk to strangers. But if you don't want to seriously consider advice, then by all means pick up World of Warcraft.
>>
>>35392050
fair enough.

But taking a sales job just for the sake of possibly curing autism is still a horrible idea. Thats the equivalent of basing a career choice on your weakest quality. The successful salesmen that you brought up are almost always the best of he best who had talent from birth. If anon follows your advice hell end up as a Best Buy TV salesman with 99% certainty. Better off working in a field hes actually good at.

I dont plan to, but im being realistic.

would you be interested in a girl that talked to you that you found unattractive?

the way i see it you're only as strong as the weakest link in your chain. kinda like bottlenecking a computer. or never working your legs and wondering why you look disproportionate.

it's not anything that anon should do forever. only for as long as it takes to learn the lessons there are to be learned for him and to more he applies himself to that task the shorter that time will be. putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation always leads to growth if you don't shy away from it.

Socially stunted individuals are poor judges of character and make poor social decisions.

You are a socially stunted individual. You should be skeptical of the social judgements you make.

its called acting.

i wanted to do this recently, i normally go to parties, talk to the few people that i know and then otherwise i am left alone and never talk to anyone else.

This party, i walked in, said hello!! to everyone, super friendly and acted like i was very excited to meet them all. In all honesty, all i wanted to meet was any hot girls around, but the earlier you are in character, the easier it is. Plus teyll see you interacting with everyone and it will either look like yu are super cool and know everyone or that you are super friendly and easy to talk to.

imagine what the cool guy looks like, and then just act like it. eventually it becomes natural and a part of who you are.

good look bruh.

Most "normies" have the same social anxieties as the people here. They just don't let it dictate their actions. So when people see someone speak their mind without giving a fuck, pretending or not, they admire it on some level. Being around these types of people unconsciously put them at ease and more open to suggestion.

Just like Hitler!

its funny that you think this way. if you honestly think people are looking for "worth" in a man then you are tragically mistaken unless you equate worth to "how eager is this guy to agree with everything i say, suck my dick metaphorically, defer all women to me first, and accept me as the leader"

i guess since i wont prostrate myself for unworthy men who try to subjugate me as a subordinate instead of treating me as an equal that means i have no worth.

which is why your opinion matters little as you yourself have no idea what 'worth' truly is.

>>35392631

i've never had friends, only people who i may have looked up as friends at one point, only for them to reveal themselves to be selfish, manipulative bullies.

the second you display any sort of independence or lack of deference, they instantly start with the "disrespect" or "you are an asshole" spiel.

then they gang up on you later talking shit and embarrassing personal aspects of your life with anyone who will listen.

i've tried so desperately to make friends but people just look for more subordinates and not equals to be treated with mutual respect and appreciation.

>>35392854
just a typical story; all friends who lived on the same floor freshman year, we all went to the gym together, went to parties together, hung out every day.

talking about how close we were and how we'd be friends for life.

i only tried to be friendly with everyone, to cultivate long lasting friendships which is the point of college right? to make your best friends for life. your 'bros'.

then suddenly they just decided to start bad mouthing me and stop inviting me for no reason. the entire floor was still good friends but they just excluded me.

i never got on anyones bad side, i never had any beef with anyone, i was on such good terms with everyone but the ringleaders just decided that i wasn't sucking their dicks enough so they orchestrated this entire plot to turn everyone against me.

the nail in the coffin was when instead of taking the elevator I walked up the stairs that leads to the common room.

i saw through the window that my entire floor crew was in the common room talking about how they recorded me masturbating and were laughing their asses of while watching it, talking about how i was a lonely virgin and no girls wanted to fuck me.

you know what the worst part was? seeing the ones I thought i was the closest to laughing the hardest.

ill admit i cried that night.

I'd say the wierdest thing for me is how stressed out I get trying to improve anything. But how easy it is to wreck myself. It took me a over a year to go to my free university gym becuase I was too freaked out. The first time i bought condoms i drove 40min to another town so the cashier in town would recognize me later. When I needed new athletic pants I went 2 counties over so no one would see me in the department.

But before I strated getting fit i could buy a carton of cigs and not worry. Greasy cheap food and lousy booze when i was fat as fuck. No problem. Anything that made my life worse came easy to me.
