I'm overthinking it, but it's weird. Even the weird guy who spews memes and Rick and Morty references wants nothing to do with me.
Are you good looking or ugly?
>>37625697
I'd say I'm 4 out of 10. Average, but not super good looking.
>>37625355
everyone is average/ugly in the real world so dont sweat it too much. The fact that your making a thread on this shows you are socially awkward at best. You probably know this but people can literally sense your awkwardness, just stop trying to force friendship and instead try to connect with them.
Just say dumb trivial normie shit like "this weather is getting x" or "its finally friday!" and ask what they have planned for the weekend in a non creepy way. Its bound to start conversation and just let it flow from there
>>37626086
Yeah. I realize I'm awkward, and people can sense it. I've been doing some of that, mainly asking about their interests or asking how long they've been there, that kind of thing. I'm bad at reading social cues, mainly pacing the conversation and how to carry on a conversation. Something I have to work on, i guess.
Thanks for the help, though, man
>>37625355
That's just in your head anon. Don't worry just start some trivial stupid conversations every now and then and you'll see
>>37626357
Fair enough, it just may be in my head. What kind of conversations? Stuff like >>37626086 said?
>tgif!
>some weather, eh?
Etc
>>37626550
Yeah. Work related questions also. Keeping the conversation going while being professional to some degree. Win-win
