I asked 5 people if they could tell me the way to a certain steet in our city. The goal was to overcome my fears of talking to strangers. The first person i spoke to was a man. The guy didn't know exactly where that street was, but he was willing to help so he followed me around for a while as we both were searching for that street. That was a bit akward i didn't expect this to happen, so i told him some him lies about me and what i wanted there.. Then I saw 2 girls standing at a bus station and i also asked them for that particular street. I suddenly was surrounded by 3 diffrent people, who were trying to help me, and i kept telling them more lies... A few moments later the guy apologized to me, because he couldn't help me and walked away. So i was alone again, and asked 3 more people who were in a hurry but also friendly overall. I will repeat this exercise next week. |

Bla bla, I am aware that some females see this as a strange approach to flirt with them. So, i'll be extra cautious when approaching women. |

how the hell do you get new friends when you move to a place you dont know ANYBODY in? do you just walk up to a random stranger and say hi wanna go grab a coffe? |

Yeah, obviously it works that way. |

Meatworld is impervious to the electronic world of IDM. Pussy is unobtainium. What is rape? It is a law about pussy monopoly, and a propaganda term. Of course you realize that a cockroach thinks a lady cockroach with a disgusting egg sack on her back all tweedling her antenae and scurrying about is pretty sexy. |

That is true. Lets get rid of all these imaginary rules and laws and free sexuality once and for all. I can't wait till monday |

no you go to the coffee house and talk to someone who's already there. maybe they have a the smiths t shirt on and you say hey nice shirt. you could do this with any band it doesn't have to be the smiths it could also be the the. it doesn't have to be related to the smiths though, it could be any band. or you could try monoid's method that probably produces long term friendships that replace ones forged in childhood hometown where you developed your very personal neural circuity in the proximity of this person learning about girls and watching spiderman 94 every single week together because they had long running stories like xman and that was what it was about. |

on the mark, but the secret handshake is a bit out of date. the 80s are over. today, the smart XLTer looks for thinkgeen tshirts in a novel coffee house, not smiths |

the other day, some indian guy in full-on tracksuit garb made a point of removing his ipod earbuds and striking up a conversation with me. the pretense was that we were both walking, while everyone else out that evening was jogging or biking. honestly, monoid, there must be something wrong with you. i find it hard to go outside without being subjected to irreverent conversations about walking/jogging preferences and shit like that |

the 80s are back tho bro. Disco hipsters are all about niki and the dove glass candy debbie harry flashback, and you may say bit that is the 70s, no it is that magical early 80s with the best giorgio morodor aspects of the 70s spaceship mixed in. you see people can't admit they love a song like kylie love at first site unless they are, you know a man who admits liking handbag house, but a man can like niki and the dove and maintain bro status. i do like that kylie song tho. |

People are extremely willing to communicate if such context exists. You can go outside with a clipboard and tell them you're running a survey or carry a camera and tell them your YouTube channel is about your city. People will eventually tell you the tightness of their anuses, because people do like to communicate. Good luck on your communication powers Monoid. Lemme know if you're ever in Tokyo-- we can parachute dive over the city and communicate with the street walkers at 275 mph. |

I don't know if it's because I'm white but people often ask me for directions on the street. I always give them wrong information, either because I actually don't know and just want them to get away from me or because I simply don't like it when people ask me such questions. |

That's very thoughtful of you. I was wrong, i'm sure you're charming. |

Since everyone is in a mind control trance, the only way to communicate with someone is to use a television or iphone or similar and indirectly acknowledge eachother using that as the focal point. You don't actually talk to the person, like you might just go on the subway and be playing angry birds and be like "oh, oh yeah", "over, over, over, oh mannn!!", and some bald guy in his mid 40s with glasses will recognize this as the modern hijacking of ancient campfire gatherings that it is and come over and also talk to the pixels on the screen. Now, sorry but this is your date, it is the best you can do and only chance you have. Unfortunately nobody really knows how to progress beyond this initial pseudo contact, especially in a legal way according to the miles and miles of laws out there. There is a very good chance that merely playing angry birds or saying anything is illegal in the first place. + more sentences. |

Same long boring posts. He's a fraud. A loved fraud which is why i don't feel bad for letting him know how soporific his posts are. |

I do enjoy his presence but I can't read his posts. |

At least once a day someone comes up to me or mentions in passing "my god you're tall!" I've had countless conversations with reasonably attractive people thanks to this. Unfortunately none of them have ever led to a shag (yet) Advice to Monoid: Grow an extra foot* *preferably height, but having three actual feet would also be a very effective conversation-starter |

so do you think you will have conquered social anxiety and general agoraphobia after 20 people or 25? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I recommand 'Acceptance & Commitment Therapy' if you deal with anxiety problems. I find it more helpful than traditional CBT. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I will never conquer it. It will always be part of my life. The question is how do i deal with it? |
