Author Inflikted Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 You seem desirable in your posts! You have an excellent attitude and you're not arrogant! Heh, well, regardless of how nice I may be able to write about myself, I think the point still stands that if I were desirable in any way, I wouldn't be 25 and still completely alone. Honestly, I've been told by many people in the past that my attitude is actually quite bad. I tend to go through fits of sadness, frustration, resentment, jealousy, and whatnot. From what I've been told, all of that is pretty bad. :/ Are you spiritual at all? Do you believe in the Bible? Not really, no. Technically, my family has roots in Christianity, but my immediate family has never really been practicing or taken it too seriously. I, myself, don't really have a belief one way or the other, and it's not something I have an interest in, if I'm being honest.
carhill Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 So like the topic title says, how does someone with pretty much zero social skills combat the charisma, the charm, and the silver-tongued status of a guy like this? Do something really amazing where everyone can't help but know your name. Then treat each one with dignity and respect. Unless you don't mind going through life being invisible, you have to make yourself known. Some people do that through 'social skills'. Others do it through their actions. Others build a shack in the woods, grow a beard and make bombs out of ordinary household items (OK, bad example ). Do what you do but get it out there. Good luck.

I just don't get why it has to be such a struggle for me. Why do I have to figure out some big amazing thing I can do to get people to like me? Why does it have to be that way for me?
skydiveaddict Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Hmph. Easier said than done. I just don't get why it has to be such a struggle for me. Because girls aren't attracted to boring men. Continue to live your life as it is. But don't be surprised at the result.
Author Inflikted Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Because girls aren't attracted to boring men. Continue to live your life as it is. But don't be surprised at the result. I'm not arguing that, but it's not like I'm boring "on purpose". That's just... me. Besides, it's not like everyone else is so ridiculously interesting and fascinating. I don't know anyone that does anything "above and beyond" to stand out. The biggest difference between me and most people is simply that most other people have friends, they have an active social life, they have people to go do things with regularly, they date, etc. But I don't have any of those things, and it's a constant struggle to even get my foot in the door with people, let alone to actually develop any semblance of a social life. I just don't think I have it in me to do anything "amazing", "above and beyond" that of a normal person, to make myself stand out. And again, I don't care about being totally unique or the center of attention; I just want to be "normal". I want to have friends, I want to date, and I don't want to have to be doing extreme activities just to get people to take notice of me.
