People.
 

How good are you with people in general?

I am not very good at actually listen to people, and especially people I have just met.

I don't know, really. I guess I get annoyed by people so easily. I do not hate people, not at all, but I guess that they get under my skin very easily.

So how good are you with people? In what areas do you need to improve on?

I'm good with MOST people, I just have trouble with tact. If I think you're stupid and annoying, by the end of our time together you'll know it. For some reason, people find that endearing about me.....in a CUTE way*gag*....
You know, come to think about it, most of the people who find it cute are men....
Oh, now I get it.....:rolleyes:

i'm not very good with people i just met. i mean i have to get used to a person before i can carry on a remotely decent conversation with them. that's why at school (or other places that contain people i don't know) i don't talk much. i refad more than i talk, so usually if i don't have a book in my hand people ask me if i'm sick or something. but to the people i do talk to, they think i'm pretty cool.

however just like Miss Olivia, if i don't like you you'll know it.

I usually suck at being a people person. I'm pretty good at getting phone numbers though. ;)

But come on, when I'm around most people. I shut up and say nothing. The only exception is if they are acting like an idiot and can't stop. Then I figure, what the fuck?

haha

I'm pretty shy around people I don't know.

But I'm usually pretty easy going. If a person is cool to me I'm cool back.

I've had a lot of public speaking experience, work experience dealing with the public (umpire for certain baseball leagues, you learn to deal with beligerance), so I am pretty good with people over all.

However, girls, especially ones I am interested in, doesn't work out. I've had a girlfriend once in my entire life, and that was in grade 8. I go to parties, try to be cool about it, but whenever the chance comes up to talk to one, I just find it too awkward, and they end up talking to some other guy with more confidence.

It's kind of a bummer, and I am working on correcting it, and I know some of the contributing factors in why it happens, so this summer, with any luck, I'll work things out.

As a waitress, I've learned to be nice and conversational to people's faces even if I don't especially like them. It's actually pretty rare to find a customer that I don't like though. I've been described as a people person on many occaisions.

Though this doesnt seem to come out in my forum personality [9000+ posts], Im the kind of guy that usually doesnt talk if he doesnt have anything to say. People say Im "too quiet" sometimes. Anyone who knows me would disagree with that though...once I get started on a topic I like [movies, for example], I dont shut up:p

At work I deal with people constantly [I work at a gas station], so Im always friendly around customers...mostly just because I always know exactly what to say:p

i am a person who can pretty much tolerate anything!
people confide in me about pretty much everything, i don't take critisism all that well, when it's toward me, i am not afraid to admit when i am wrong, cause i'm usually right:p


not all the time just 99% of the time;)

Well I quite reserved. I prefer to listen to other more than talk all the time . I took my time to know how are the people that I'm with.

Anyway, people ain't no good!!!

I don't like humans much.I am quite when people are around me...even in phone conversations.

I like cats and rats, and people come after that ;)

poet and didn't know it :cool:

I'm really shy around people I don't know or don't know very well. There's still a few aunts, uncles and cousins I'm not open with. The only time my introversion goes away is when I'm around football, can't really explain it, I just feel loose. Which is good because it's very hard to tell 45 teenagers what to do if you're too shy.

I m usually a quiet, reserved person when alone. I prefer solitude to crowds, just pop in a song and lie back eyes closed.

Some people who are free and frank and can talk with some sense, those kinda people make me feel easy. I stay away from people who say and act stupid, or if I m around em, I prefer to stay quiet.

I can talk on all the topics of the world, but as they say "a good talker needs a good pair of ears." My significant other is the only "good pair of ears" in my life till now.

Also, opinions matter to those who value it, so if I say something and its blown away by the person in front of me, there's no sense carrying on the conversation.


"Speech is silver, but silence is golden."

93% of regular internet/forum users are only 23% capable of communicating normally in the real world.

:eek:

I am usually quiet with people I don't know. I assure you that in my case, it's mostly arrogance...

I pretty much assume people aren't as smart as I am. I love intellectually stimulating conversation, most people are incapable of carrying one though. Don't ask me "Do you watch Arrested Development?" I don't want to gab about how funny a tv show is and listen to you rattle of quotes that aren't even funny when the comedian or whatever doesn't say them. Also, single syllable responses means fuck off. Is everyone you talk to a bad conversationalist? take a hint.

Also silence IS golden, I hate people who have to talk but have absolutely nothing to say. Fucking die already

In high school I had a new group of friends every school year. You know how they say if you can make it without a cigarette for 3 days you can quit? If you can stand me for over a year and still like me, well... that's special. ;)

Hah,very well put.Wish i could express myself like that without feeling stupid.But oh well,anyway.....You are teh awsome!I still like ya from 1 year later.:D

I'd say I'm very good with people, I'm pretty easy to get along with.... as long as you're not a woman or minority! Oooooooh!

No, but seriously, I'm an awesome guy to be friends with, everyone loves me.

You sound like Jesus.

Another person it seems I'm related too. I don't like hearing myself talk, and as return said, if I have nothing to say, I won't say it. I don't like listening to people who repeat themselves with the same sentence 30 times in one hour. That makes me want to kick someone....I would say punch, but my thumb is injured and I don't want to scare it. lol

Stef's aunt, when I talk to her on the phone, she says I creep her out because I don't say anything. She says, "Say something or I'm gonna hang up on you" and I just sit there and laugh at her....Maybe that's why I suck at relationships? I'm too quiet and the people I date don't have the same interests...:(

Well I am REALLY shy, unless I know you really well. Which sucks because I work as a Valet Parker at a casino and I usally don't speak much lol. I think everyone is out to "screw me " over so if I stopped thinking that maybe my people skills would improve.

Well obviously if you don't have the same interests or at least a good bit of 'em then it's not going to work that well.

holy shit.

i just realized something.

i'm not the only one who barely talks! sweet

I hate everyone!

I hate people...not everyone, but alot of people. And I have social anxiety so...I don't do well with people at all. And people who meet me always end up hating me eventually...it's a proven fact. The only people who don't hate me are the people in my family and my current boyfriend. Actually some of my family probably don't care too much for me either.

I never talk. Except to people I know REALLY, REALLY well...family & the boyfriend, basically...those are the only people I have anything to say to anyway.

I have some of the same interests, I'm just a lot more into most things. Like movies, music and computer shit. They always seem to care more about other peoples relationships which sort of annoys me because it hurts ours when all they talk about is problems from another and then compare ours. Grrrr....

Oh, and some of them are more interested in cheating, such as my current girlfriend who has been cheating on me for the past 2 weeks. :eek: A HAHAHAHAHAHA! Fuck that shit. But I seriously don't care anymore. I think it's funny personally...Maybe that's bad.:confused:

Ha! I don't even talk to my family or my girlfriend which I'm going to dump. I think out of everyone in my life, I talk to my gf's aunt the most. That's mostly because I'm not able to make her back down or annoy her. It bugs the shit out of me because I can't do it, so it's drawing me to it. But I think I've about gotten that cracked. :D....But then I will stop talking to her as I've done with everyone else.

Talk about an outcast, I speak not to my family, my friends or even my girlfriend. I only speak with myself 90% of the time. -Looks around- So what? I'm sort of mental. Who cares? I bet all of you people here that if you called me on the phone, I would say not but about 3 sentences in a 4 hour conversation.:eek:

So screw it....

it'll be okay VC. you are an outcast, 1 out of many. i'm an outcast too, so it's okay.
you beat me though, i only talk to myself 60% of the time. damn:)
good luck with your girlfriend. may the force be with you.

I talk to myself more than I talk to other people too :p And what you said about the 3 sentences in a 4 hour conversation...that sounds about like me. Basically when people call me I answer questions and stuff, but otherwise I cant usually think of anything to say on my own.

I'm a people person. :)
