Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33653488 that's because they're busy learning... you should be too. It's lunch time!!! People are laughing and chattering all around me. I see no one studying! |

It's kind of the way it is now, sad as that is. I get on the elevator every morning, and I'm lucky if anyone in there looks up from their phone.

If you really want to talk, ask what they enjoyed food wise that was offered in the cafeteria selection. Tell them your favorite dish served there. Ask if they like meatloaf. Tell them you hate stuffing. Whatever, it is not a big deal, stop feeling self conscious and say something. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1053533 United States 02/04/2013 07:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Four week campaign. First week: Make eye contact with people and give a small head nod and wave when you see them. Smile occasionally, but don't make a big thing of it. Do this with everyone that looks at you. Make a point of remembering who indicates they actually saw you. Second week: Same as the first, but if people are physically close enough to you, within ten feet or so, say hello. (Or hi, good day or whatever comes to mind.) Then go about your business. Again, smile occasionally, but not all the time. Don't make it seem like you want everyone to be your "special friend". *People will probably already be sitting with you by this time, but if so, still reach outside the little group and make contact with people on this low level. Third week: If you've done this correctly, around twenty to fifty people are going to subconsciously think that your familiar to them. When you go to sit down, if you see a few of them alone, give a wave and ask if they'd like to have a seat near you. They probably already have a place, because people are creatures of habit, but that doesn't actually matter. It makes you seem connected to them and as long as you aren't pushy about it, no one will think anything of it. Even when a group starts to form, remember to smile, wave and all that. Be inclusive. Fourth week: By this time you're going to seem like a social butterfly compared to week one, so make sure to join in some activities and keep approaching new people. You're on your way to actually having real friends by this point. Good luck and have fun with it. |

Always been polite and helpful. Don't force your way into a social group. You'll look weak and pathetic. Thrive from being alone. Be happy and show it. Participate in class discussion, and don't worry if other students don't accept you. Learn all you can from college. Same with work. Just work, get paid, go home, relax. People company is only worth it if you both want each other. One sidedness is horrible. |

Quoting: BRIEF They may rub their cl.... Oops I gotta go! "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

While you're sitting around, focused on being isolated then that's exactly what you're going to get. The world will generally reflect what's in your heart. A man with violent thoughts and feelings will get into a lot of fights. What are your thoughts and feelings? Examine them and change them. You have more power than you think. |
