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

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!!!
