Surprisingly for me people actually seem to like talking to me. A couple years ago I made an active decision to communicate with my co workers at the Amazon factory. It was the first time I initiated a conversation with them in a year of working there and we essentially became friends by the end of the shift. After I moved to a new job recently I met some of them at the local gym and they said the actually missed having me there. I won’t lie I’ve never heard that from people I’m not related too and that made me probably the happiest I’ve ever been in my life.

I'm autistic and spent my entire childhood being totally socially oblivious. But obviously that wasn't really working for me, so I put a lot of effort into studying how people behaved and learned how to mask better. Now I can befriend anyone from any walk of life, but it's a fake sort of friendship that I find dull; there's really no point in pretending to be someone you're not just to befriend everyone. Being universally likeable just means you're boring or fake, or most likely both. As someone who can be best friends with everyone by the end of the night; don't bother being envious, it's not even an enjoyable skill to have. Just be yourself and find people who you vibe with.

After highschool my social skills took off and actually have a bad habit of making new friends but not making time for them. Crazy how I was a quiet kid throughout my childhood and now the most talkative in the family.

I've had my fair share of hatred directed toward me ever since high school, i was told the way i look annoyed them, around 6th semester of my univerity life, i've had some talk with a female senior that told me how some senior hated me because of that as well which surprised me, because i never talk or even bother them because we're from different major, it just, honestly, at that point it dawned on me that people can hate me simply because I exist...

I'm an introvert by nature and I can't really hold a casual conversation to save my life (small talk is the worst) but I've been told I'm a very easy person to get along with and those that I do open up to at least laugh often. Of course I don't know what people say about me behind my back and I don't really care but I can't really remember a time I haven't gotten along with someone I've spoken with. I'm a very go with the flow kind of person so I don't think anyone has a problem with me. consequently I don't think I leave much of an impression either. Not sure where that'd put me but that's me.

I'm a loner. Very selective of who I talk to and when I talk to them. But I'm also a love me or hate me type person.

I'm the one that "wants to be more social" but doesn't know how and hates people too much anyway

im the quirky but badass guy that leaves people alone and when talked to can hold a conversation after determining if they like me or not

Inside school if I’m not around friends I’ll be the least noticeable in the room but the second I’m with friends or am outside of school I’m one of the loudest and will probably strike up a conversation. Something about class makes me wanna just be quiet and disassociate

I wish I was that guy who could just hold a conversation with anyone but every time I try I come across as awkward, so I just talk to whoever I grow comfortable with.

I worked as a cashier once, and that surprisingly teaches you how to strike up a conversation and other random social skills

I think I'm a mix between "hate me or love me" and "being selective of who I talk to"

I always tend to stay very friendly to everyone on first meeting. If they seem toxic, I leave rapidly before tensions rise. That being said over time I am very stubborn and take even silly debates seriously. I guess I love intelligent conversation, debating even pointless things to unreasonable lengths. My least my best friend understands my process, he's literally the same

I get on with almost everyone I meet, regardless of who they are. I really try. However, because I'm ambiverted, I'm exhausted afterwards and need time to recover - you get to meet some crazy people out there haha

As an introvert, I have to power through, but, by doing so, I have learned to listen, which, in turn, leads to me being able to converse with almost anyone.

Surprisingly, I have no problem going talking to someone new and have conversation with them. It's maintaining relationships that I actually have problem of.

I've got bad social anxiety, some people I hit it off with really well and can open up after a few days, but others I just can't spark a connection with and having a conversation is tiring for both of us, and really one sided
