What sort of issues do you have concerning social interaction with friends/peers?

I tend to get over-excited about things and I like to get loud and rage. Not too many people out there have the same passion for life as I do. =(

I suck at social interaction, since I am a very shy guy around people I don't know too well. If it's at a party or similar, a couple of drinks do wonders, and I get to meet new people easily.

Well i really understate things, if a film is OK then i mean it had as many good points as bad, not that the film was bad like most people think. My favorite game is Crysis and i'ld say it's really great but not worthey of excellent or perfect, i know quite a few people who say thinngs are excellent when they're not even thier favorite.

I'm quite quiet in large groups and prefer to observe than to participate in whatever is going on. When I'm with a small number of my mates though I open up a bit more.

Yeah, this, plus the fact that I have an incredibly loud voice and I get accused of being obnoxious all the time, even though I don't notice it myself. :question: It's annoying when I don't know that I'm talking really loudly without noticing. :x

I luv when someone's eye sight is floating in a room, I always look back at them and smile till they turn away :P I do this with girls too...If im looking around a room and a girl happens to catch my eye sight, I keep looking at her for a few seconds even if it feels uncomfortable, then i pull out my "Seraphim-Smile" (Copyright Seraphim Productions) and no woman can resist that. The S-S is the best ice breaker known to man :P After pulling one of those off, the girl usually comes to me after class or watever and asks "What were you smiling about" and then depending on the situation, I give the appropriate response 8)

I can be incredibly solitary and not social at times, due to my image and the expression on my face. Some people think I am scary. But I had tons of friends at my old school. The new school that I go to makes me not be social for some reason. I can spend my entire life there and not talk to anyone. But I've made some friends. And also there are times when I am pissed and I REALLY dont want to talk to anyone.

Sometimes I stutter and mumble. Other times I dont fluctuate my tone well so I can imply something I really didnt mean. Also my facial expressions and stuff are off.

I tend to do the same, but there are some people that I can look in the eye now. But even then, it's usually for five seconds, I look away and then look into their eyes again...XD

Pretty much everything I say comes off sounding incredibly sarcastic, even though I don't mean for it, so I have to watch what I say so I don't inadvertently offend people.

I can hook up with anyone. I think I represent a little bit of many peoples. I speak and peoples listen to me... that they like it or not. But under all this charisma I must say that I don't trust many peoples.

When I'm nervous, I get sleepy. It's kind of weird to meet someone new and start yawning, they tend to think they're boring me.Bio_Spark
nervousness and yawning is a common thing. I remember I'd yawn a lot waiting outside the classroom before a test started.

I've been told several times I'm "on the moon". Not sure what that means, I've been rather happy recently so maybe that's it. Apparently it's not a bad thing though.

Sometimes I get really shy and nervous, so I sometimes come across as kind of awkward and strange around people I don't know very well. Other than that, I'm a pretty easy person to talk with... and I'm pretty friendly. :)

A girl once said hello, how are you? to me. I was sort of caught off guard, and chewing gum. All that came out was "grullbbblle" (sound for sound). it was mildly embarassing.

I don't take compliments well. It's not that I don't lie receiving them, it's just I never really know how to respond to them. :?

I also tend to slur my words because I think faster than I talk (not that I talk slowly or anything).

It's not really an issue but I just hoped that people would be more social to me if they actually talked to me. They always think I'm mad or something so I often have to force myself to talk to them. A good way to gain confidence though.

\ That's how I was Sophomore year. If you act happy and approach them, 9 times out of 10 if the person you're approaching is nice, the person will act kind and/or silly. At least, that's what I've observed from experience.
