Fear to confront the reality

Hi people! This blog continues my tradition of documenting my attempts for tackling my biggest self-development pursuit: socialisation. Today I just had a realisation many of you probably have already had months or even years ago.

If we think about problems with socialisation there are two problems to keep in mind: First it is lack of skill, and second is fear. If you do not have the skill, you'll fail naturally, just as with everything else. However generally there is some fear involved, espec… Continue

Socialisation causes headache

When I have to (or want to :P) socialise, more often then not for me it means stress. Not always, but when I pull myself out of comfort zone, it usually does mean exactly that: a huge amount of stress. Psychological stress manifests itself in physical symptoms such as headache. So if I approach random people I feel this nervousness and the usual somatic appearances like shaking hands and burning in the chest, adrenalin rush. That would be all fine for one approach, but if I do several in a row,… Continue

Asking for directions on the streets

I continue to document my self-development pursuits with a strong emphasis on socialisation. Yesterday I went out on the streets again and asked random girls for directions. It were not many that i asked but the most responded well and . . . well tried to explain the how to get to a certain place. ;)

The one girl that I wanted to approach did not want to talk to me, she gesticulated in a rejecting manner with her hands and walked by. The behaviour is kind of understandable though, because the c… Continue

Saying "Hi" on the streets

Hi guys this is my first blog. I'm not sure how it will come out, but I'll try and document my self-development process. I did something already. I take contrast showers and I exercise every morning. This is all good and well, but there is an area, which I feel that I basically desperately suck. Of course, it's socialisation. I feel like I cannot have a proper small-talk at all. And this feels pretty miserable.

There is a theme of I-Power -- "conditioned happiness" -- in the sense that one crea… Continue

Some issues I have. Don't really want to talk about it. No, I don't have skype

I haven't been with a friend for two weeks, and that's usual for me, and I don't work or go to school, so if I can understand it, you should then. But I don't think it's about being social or not, we probably just think differently

I pick explanation number one. You say it just to be social, to get attention. To see if the other person have anything to comment or say about it, or make them understand you. Telling someone you're tired can make the other person understand if you drag your feet.
Asking for water and saying you want water isn't the same thing.

Of course I would listen! I just don't want anyone to solve it for me without asking for my consent first. Like, the massage. They are very welcome to ask me if i want a massage, but I would not want them to just take my problem in their own hands and and start to yank my shoes. It's just the same with water. Even if they don't force you do drink the water, it's quite annoying to get a glass stuffed up in your face :P
At 6:59pm on October 7, 2009, Zequr said…
Are you sure you don't actually expect them to ask you if you want water, rather than go get it for you without asking? If you say your foot hurt, do you expect them to start massage it without question?

That I agree hehehe

Esquire used to be a way to show high social class in England, but now people can just steal it. Lawyers in the USA stole it and use it to show they studied Law as well. :P
