Trust is something that always should be earned, but at some point you have to take a risk here and there.

Personally feel like I'm starting to become a bit more open with people. Not open to where I'll tell anybody anything but enough to give people a sense of what I'm like

Still need to experiment more on social skills tho

It depends a lot on how much work you put into you

Probably will if my car gets back up and running

if you put a lot in: you'll be comfortable enough defending yourself that it won't matter what others think

Here's hoping

Still surprised i was able to hold a convo while getting my hair cut a while ago

Guess I'm learning

i still have no idea how to do small talk

Small talk bores me.

Try finding a common topic

i usually wait for the other person to start the ball rolling and just ramble absent mindedly on auo pilo through most of those conversations

But I rarely get to do anything aside from small talk.

otherwise i'm likely to diverage into some heavier shit and they're more than likely not going to have a good ime with that

time*

Usually a simple, hows you're day been gets it going

Listen to what theyre saying and try ti see if a convo can start from there

pretty much

I

To hlep me

keyboard fuck

Kek

*To help me keep my mind clear when it comes to small talk, I like to imagine there's like.. elevator music playing in the background

having your focus split on something helps

kinda why I liked washing dishes when I did that. always had something menial to focus on.

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like I notice or see too much into someone when I look at them. I'm pretty good at reading people, and most of the time i just don't want all of that in my head.

Noticed i try to find something of common ground or intrest. Just enough to sorta get a view on a persons personality

have to be comfortable with someone to turn that off

Like the two girls i talked to at cvs one time or another girl at walmart

Girl from walm came across as energetic, one brunette at cvs gave off a mature vibe, while a blonde from cvs gave off kinda a tired vibe

And it's all from how things were going at work too

Picking up on queues like that is good, means youre not an aspie so thats a good sign. I can still be awkward sometimes so if I don't have anything to say with small talk I just ask the other person a question thats relevant, or tey to break the ice by making them laugh

Everyone at work thinks I'm an innocent little girl and gets shocked when I curse

The innocent looking ones seldom are

One of the chefs on the line mocked my "nice girl" voice today and I gave him a venomous look and he shut up lol

Feel like people think i might be judgemental because of how my resting face is. But if they heard me talk they'd probably go "oh this kids just a fucking nerd"

I have to kinda have a sorta smirk/soft smile on my face, because my resting face always gets a "ARE YOU OK, WHY ARE YOU SAD I HOPE YOU'RE OK" response lol

Haha I had a female manager say she thought I was a boyscout after I told her a joke about getting a "Pull out king" tattoo. She started hitting on me a lot after that. At least I got away with a bunch of shit she should have coached me for lol

I just try to hide myself, I prefer most people not remember me, but the ones I talk to end up being pretty close after they kinda see how I am.

I think it really helps to know what you're into
