One of the hardest social situations that i had to face was starting a conversation with someone whom you know very little about or even nothing.It turns out even harder for people like me who are Introverts.I still remember me taking two months to say a "HI" to this chick who lives down the road.I am not so big on interacting with people in the real world.It is said that sometime's a look is all that is needed to start off,you give him/her a genuine 3 second's smile and you may be surprised when the object of your happiness starts a conversation with you instead.but it can't happen every time and to everyone.You need to ask them questions that will get your conversation to the interesting part of that person and then be truly interested in listening.Well for this to happen i do not think you need to be an extrovert ,you just need to trust that you will find the other person interesting and of course vice versa because everyone one of us who is out there is curious,very curious indeed.The question now is how to get your conversation to that interesting part of that someone.I would say its more or less like a Trial and Error.Practice makes one perfect.
There are people in this world who literally do not know how to respond to a casual greeting " HI ".In India if a male approaches some random chick on the walk way and says "Hi" you will get a reaction which you may have never seen before or if it was to a chick with The " ATTITUDE " factor you just said " Hi " well you get to see the middle finger ha ha or the moment we say " Hi " they start to think "Oh god,look its another guy who is trying to get me in bed with him".The worst thing i have noticed is that these type of reactions are from the educated one's.That reminds me of the two month's "hi" chick.I said hi to her finally and she said my hi to her dad,wow so grateful,thank you, hmmm.Why is it so hard to start a conversation with a girl down here.Every man is not the same and they all do not have the same intentions do they.Who ever said only a man has bad intentions.ha..
So i continue my journey of "Hi" further ahead.Social networking websites.I don't think i need to mention any in particular but there are many.There are many out there stating out, i am interested in making new friends,am jovial,out going blah blah blah,ooooh i jus love making new friends, but when it comes to really making friends those words just disappear.I don't think i am the only victim or whatever you call it when it comes to making friends through social network sites.Disappointed,i am.Some write it out so clearly that they have no attitude and they are not egoistic or even sometimes point out that they hate people with attitude.To say the truth they are the ones in Vain.What do you gain by being or showing an excessively high opinion of oneself. People are filled with so much of pride in one's appearance, qualities and abilities that they literally do not figure it out when someone really appreciates them and just for the sake of it.We come across some unique types of specimen's everyday but we never know what lies beneath their mask.Maybe i am wrong but is it wrong to ask for some genuine friends.Am not even asking for the best place in the list of friends am i. I guess i narrowed it down too much to the other sex but yes there are guys too who are self centered and a big show off. I don have anythin to show off or else i would have.lol...
