Teach Nasser How to Talk

[ASUFan22]

I think I have some room to take a hit on my reputation here so...I just have some trouble talking. I'm too shy or something. I got my little group of firends but I know a bunch of other people I wished I'd talk to more.First I'd like to get to the basics: I absolutely hate when people ask What's Up? What the hell am I supposed to say? I'm a boring guy and at 9AM there's really not much to say, but how many f*cking times and I supposed to say nothing or nothing much before it gets a little retarded? When people ask that is that a form of "hello" or do they really give a sh*t what's up? lolAnd I always find myself in trouble after I say hello? What next? If it isn't a guy or there was no game on the previous day I have no idea what to freakin talk about. Bob:Hey NasserNasser: Hey Bob, how's it going?Bob: GoodEither an awkward silence or...Bob: So, what's up?Nasser: Er...nothing much....Bob: OkayWalk away.... :shok: :HAHAHA: I find myself in a weird silence every day in which I just mumble and walk away, lol. I feel so stupid so here I am asking you guys....how to talk. Is it required to be an interesting person in the first place?And then there's the girls...I'm so freakin confused when I see them. I give them a hi, so-and-so and walk away and in that time I feel friggin weird.I need some major help. And need to get rid of the shyness somehow.

, just try to get involved with them, theres different ways to get to know girls. One of the old school ways I was taught it when a girl does something funny, just look at them weird and a laugh just a little bit. Then they will notice you then. After that maybe ask her a question about school, and/or if you see them with a book, or a magazine or hear them talking about something you know about, start a conversation about that. Then after that you should be pretty comfortable talking to her. And when people say "whats up", what I do is say"whats up" and keep walking btw, im shy also and it works for me

 

[KCX]

Well nasser, welcome to the real social world. When people say whats up to me as their first greeting, I always say something like "Hey man- hows it going". I guess I don't answer it as a question but to answer your question, I guess it is a form of "hello" if it is the first thing they say. Then I usually talk about sports, or something that happened at school, or make fun of people or something. It's easier to talk about interests or about other friends and stuff. so..Bob:Hey NasserNasser: Hey Bob, how's it going?Bob: GoodEither an awkward silence or...Bob: So, what's up?Nasser: nothing man, what are you doin todaybob: probably just chill at homenasser: nice, dude did you see the suns game last nightbob: yeah nash was sickorbob: nah man was it goodnasser: yeah it was sick when amare did a 720 dunk after a steal.. yo OMG mrs smith gave us sooo much hw today----------------------------------------as for girls, its easier just to talk about anything likeshelley: hey nassernasser: hey whats upshelley: oh, nothinnasser: im so hungry right nowshelley: same here lets get foodnasser: lets make outok jk about the making out, but you can just talk about anything like school, your class, food (your hungry), what are you doin this weekend.. stuff like that

For me, I am always talking, which gets me in trouble sometimes in school, but it makes me a lot of friends. I just be myself. Just tell them whatever is on your mind or maybe a story or something like that.

 

[KCX]

and fyi, im usually shy then I get alot better once u know meor sometimes im just not shyoh and btw, the best thing I do is try to be funny. its a good one to meet people but also I guess what I struggle with is some of them taking me more seroius when I want to be taken serious..

 

[BALLAHOLLIC]

1.) Talk about them, People love talking about themselves so discuss there common interests. If you know they enjoy something.. Then talk about it. "Hey how is your soccer season going" Things like that work wonders.2.) Be a good listener, Acknowledge the fact that you heard them.3.) Approach people and YOU choose the convo, that way you are more relaxed with what you are talking about.4.) Balance the talking and listening. 5.) Ask questions.

I need some non-corny joke ideas or something. Give me some topics to talk about.

Maybe make fun of your friend or something, you dont want a girl thinking your a bi*ch like that.

 

[ReppinTheD]

You just gotta see what applies to that person..I mean...if its a guy and you kno they like sports start talking about baseball or something...or basketball or anythingeven highschool sports - hows football going? Soccer?Talk and bi*ch about school.....With girls I pick the ones I like...I totally ignore stuck up bitches, I just talk to girls that are really down to earth and kinda is one of those girls that dont mind hanging out with guys...and talking about guy stuff. With them, those girls are really friendly, and either I listen to them, or I just talk about random sh*t. School, what they're doing this weekend...etc.With college its so much different, it's cool to be smart lol.

IF you are too harsh and go on and on about it, they'll start to think you're mean.

amanda: lol shut upnasser: haha I kid I kid.. (just kidding but dont say it in a gay way)

 

[ASUFan22]

I don't make fun of people though. Sometimes when I see Sidesh, the 60 pound Indian kid running with a backpack larger then him, I smile a bit with the friend I'm with and yeah. Sidesh beat me at tennis though so I can't say sh*t about him, lol. I make fun of my friends a little but that's it. Any other greetings I can use besides how's it going and what's up? And any other replies to how's it going besides good or bad? Hah, I'm a noob at talkin.

[KCX]

dont worry man, its not just you, everyone goes thru it sometimeyou don't have to be incredibly outgoing to make friends, just show an interest in life and the people around you..try to develop your personality to be more outgoing and smile and say hi to people, even when you don't feel like it.

 

[STAT]

This is getting a lil too technical. Just talk. Be yourself man. Here, this is a common talk between me and my friend.Greg: What's up dawg! You got my back man?!Me: Yeah, man, I got you.And then we talk about all this other stuff. We end up laughing our heads off near the end. With girls, just talk to them about stuff. Don't make it such a big deal.

Do a youtube search or something.Yeah, no one here can really tell you how to talk to people. That's probably the problem in the first place. You think too much. If you say something and that person doesn't respond effectively, then talk about something else with them or don't talk to them at all. Usually it is easy to figure out what to talk about with a person. Find a tv show or internet video or something to quote, then they'll be like haha that's funny let's say it everyday and annoy everyone and you'll be like cool so then we'll be friends right lol and they'll be like yeah. That's pretty much how it works.

[Devlin]

I suffer from the same problem big time, my conversations with people I don't know that well go a little something like this inglebert: Hey Mark Whats the craic ? ( Means whats up basicly)Me : MDSJdsiajdadeifh ( Mumble )Awkward SilenceDinglebert : Did you see the match last night ?Me: I don't like football.....mumble mumble mumleDinglebert: OMG reallyI walk away

When it comes to talking to girls, I am very calm. Just talk about them and there common interests.They LOVE confidence, So dont seem so easy to get. Act as if you dont need them, Girls would love to take on that challenge. I did that to Melanie, Worked.Another thing, Do NOT give too much information about your self, It ruins the mystery behind you. Girls want to keep guessing.

[BALLAHOLLIC]

No, That is annoying hahaha.Like for example:Girl: So.... How was your day?Guy: Awesome, I had a very interesting day.The girl then wants to learn more and more about you. Girls also LOVE when you use there confidence against them. Just like yesterday I was talking to this girl and she gave me her number.Girl: 555-5555 is your lucky number, give it a call some time.Me: I dont need luck, 333-3333 is YOUR lucky number, Give it a call.Ask LightsOut, I showed him the convo between the girl and I haha.

 

[SunnyD]

This thread is pretty awesome.Nasser, you were talking about Sidesh, it's fun to make fun at yourself sometimes too. Even if it causes embarressment for a while, people forget the little things quicker than you'd think.
