    I find the balance of asking people about themsleves and talking about myself hard to walk.

    I love when people find something im interested in and ask me about it and let me gush. and I love giving other people that opportunity too. But I want it to be genuine, not flattery.

    the balance of getting other people to talk about themsleves and sharing personal antidotes so both parties get the most out of a conversation is difficult to walk.

    Ive talked to my friends about this before and they have never considered social interaction in that way.

    I did a project on it in art school once.

    i also struggle with this

    In person it's horrible sometimes I just don't have the social energy anymore

    Just end up telling someone "I don't really like movies" so they'll leave you alone

    Youre probably just more introverted and I think theres nothing good or bad about that. everyone is just different.

    sometimes i need to be alone but I also get lonely if I dont talk to people for awhile

  • i havent attempted to socialize in years

  • like i fw my peoples for sure

    oh yeah Ill have friends come over and we will just sit on a couch or around a table all evening and do nothing but talk and have a great time.

    sometimes we have other things planned but we dont do them because we enjoy the conversation so much

    def my favourite hangs!

    Yeah u don't have a problem then

    That idea is so intimidating to me

    If I'm around people we need to be like doing something

    i also struggle with this

    thats reassuring to hear! when ive talked about it people before they really dont know where im coming from.

    what have you done to ameliorate it?

    Ive done both extremes at different phrases in my life where I try to only get people to talk about themsleves (but in a genuine way about things im also interested in) and then tried to let go of anxiety and be more stream of consciousness.

    nowadays im in the middle where i share antidotes about myself if I think the other people will enjoy it and spur on more conversation. im more selective about what I share.

    But I also think my ratio of the two is not fine tuned enough compare to other people I meet who are just very self aware and social

    honestly I love talking to new people, which is why i overthink this stuff because I wanna talk to more new people.

    Ive met really cool people even if its transient and temporary travelling or living other places because of that skill and it made me a more well rounded person i think

    I'm pretty introverted, but on the rare occasion that I am choosing to spend time with people it's like either going somewhere like a store or like watching a movie or attending an event like a convention or something

    It's never like "hey come sit at my house because I feel like being around someone" or vice versa

    That's horrible to me

    I feel like that's the type of thing that makes people get closer to one another and I'm bad about that a little

    Like there's almost no one I choose to just be around because I enjoy being around them

    The more anime focused ones aren't my thing, but usually there's like other little booths/shops that are more broad that interest me

    And it's a spectacle

    some people are! some people arent. You just remember the judgy and lame people more sometimes because they stick out.

    it definetly can do that but only if its something both people enjoy.

    You just gotta find people who are likeminded and also enjoy events over casual conversation like that and youll also get closer that way

    If it's like a complete stranger and we end up talking just based on coincidence that's a bit better for me

    Because I know like that's it

    That's when I usually end up having better conversations tbh

    ya ive never been to an anime one but the weebs def show out at comic cons and its def a spectacle.

    an anime one would be funny for sure
