b4ndito wrote ... That is a pretty big defense about weed and even Coke. They are naturally occurring plants that fuck you up when you process them the right way. ok, first of all, pot isn't processed, it's a naturally growing weed native to almost all climates. It has only recently become more potent because people breed it specifically for its thc content. Secondly, there's no way that pot has any worse effect on you than alcohol (different, but no worse). Pot isn't even addictive, you can't say that for alcohol. Third, it's been decriminalized in MA (where I live) so you only get a fine if you are caught with it. Fourth, American Indians, other religions, etc have been using pot for thousands of years as part of their culture. Fifth, I don't even smoke pot anymore, and I still think that drugs like cocaine, heroin, and prescription drugs are the real problem. That's what most of the drug money is going into. |

OneLove1252 wrote ... I was like that in middle school, kind of went away in highschool. And dont take a public speaking course. That will just make it worse. You don't know the first thing about overcoming insecurities and phobias. And hope is not a strategy, so unless he DOES SOMETHING it's unlikely to change. Remember, doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Take a public speaking course, trust me. |

lol scroonny? wtf dude l2spell. And Toast, when I say process, I mean "prepare for smokage". All five of your points were boring and unnecessary, because you completely misconstrued what I said. |

Oh your in high school? LoL... 1) then you haven't taken a real public speaking course, since public speaking in high school is pretty pointless... with all the douchebag kids and all. 2) quit whining. seriously, even if you're not confident, act like you are. What's better than the real thing? Faking it good enough to get by. Then you don't have to spend all that time developing self-worth, a sense of pride & purpose and a strong semblance of conviction in your words and actions. 3) Ignore it for now. High school sucks for everyone. It's just a shitty social experiment. Get by as best you can, but set your sights on your future. Specifically your 20's. Where do you want to be then? Make yourself that person now. 4) Read the following books. The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene, Influence: The Psychology of Persuassion by Robert Cialdini, Never Be Lied To Again and Get Anyone To Do Anything by Dr David Liebermann If you read and like those, tell me, and I'll get you more. But start there. Oh and take some time to sit down and write what you want out of your life. Set some goals, 1 year, 3 year, 5 year and 10 year +. Keep a journal, use it years down the road to reflect on the person you were and the person you've become. What themes are recurring? What problems did you solve? How have you grown as a person. A journal is an awesome introspective tool. Do things that make you uncomfortable. Talk to girls out of the blue. Talk to strangers out of the blue. Everyday I want you to say "Hello" to at least 50 people you've never met before. Get out of your house. Go to the mall, talk to shop clerks about the stock market, ask the security guards who they're voting for and then ask "WHY!?" in disbelief when they answer, ask people walking around if they know where random locations are. Hell ask some people for change. If a conversation develops then you did your job and you can stop. I could break you out of your shell in a heartbeat, but 1) you have to want it and 2) you have to do what I say. Edited Wed Oct 22 2008, 10:40PM |

Madvil i am the same way haha i wouldn't say i'm antisocial because i really don't have much of an urge to go out and talk to random people. I got my close friends and i prefer to talk to people i like and are somewhat intelligent. But for a while there i did kinda go out and meet knew people and it IS all about attitude. If you walk up to people like your king shit, they will think that you are king shit. lol it sounds stupid but trust me you'll get total different responses from people that your trying to talk to. Even if your just fakin it and don't really feel that confident act like you are and they'll think you are | ||

P.S. Pot is not a good choice of drug for social interactions if you're the only one high. Pot tends to amplify all sensations, including anxiety. I would reccommend using pot for relaxation & stimulation, not as a social lubricant. Alcohol & cocaine work far better in that regard. =) But a real man wouldn't need drugs to socialize/entertain/persuade/argue |

Madvillain wrote ... and yea zero ur right about the not caring part. i mean alota times i just try to say to myself " fuck other people ima do whatever i want/ say whetever" but lol that doesnt work all that well This will relieve pressure on the social interaction aspect, but I fear that this problem is deaper then you are letting it be... If I'm wrong, and pointing this out in public offends you in some way, let me know. May I just say... that this seems to be an issue of Self-esteem. That broad issue has branched out into clamming up in random situations. Notice the people who tried to give you advice on how they think it might help. (No offense, I tried it too, so I am in this group) Arrogant people. People who don't necessarily outright say they are better than everyone else, but people who are alright with who they are and aren't afraid to show it. "Man I'm fucking sweet. I piss fucking excellence! I'm so proud of myself <3" Yadda yadda bullshit. These types of people find it very easy to go into any situation because they are so comfortable and confident with themselves, that they don't see it being a bad situation and clamming up. My only question is, why do you have a lower self esteem? You have friends, you are in good shape, you are in College which, whether you are passing or not, is more of an accomplishment than like 1/10th of the Nation. You ARE a good kid, and you're pretty fucking sweet, so why are you having self esteem issues? I know my bestfriend used to get REALLY upset when we called him retarded(stoner kid, found it hard to focus, was an easy target for us to pick on him) and shit like that. to the point where it really killed his self esteem and you thought lower of himself...Do you think it could be something like that? What sort of situations get you down? If it's not this, tell me I'm wrong, but if it is, I'd really like to help you with it because having a low self esteem hurts you in soo many different ways. |
