The problem seems to be that people don't seem to want to talk to me.
This problem is magnified online. If I go on facebook and I send a message out to 5 acquantences, I expect to get about 2 replies.
I'm not exactly sure what the issue is. Either (a) it's something about the way I talk to them that turns them off or (b) I need to surround myself with better people. |
I would change your thoughts. Start thinking "People enjoy talking to me. I interact great with people" and visualize a group of people around you with you in the center as you tell a joke and they all laugh.
BTW, 2 responses out of 5 on Facebook is fine. People are busy. Don't take it personal.
It doesn't seem like the way you talk to people is the issue as you came on here nice and polite.
