Q: alright, well, this doesn't happen all the time, but every now and then with certain people.

i'm not one of those all of the time attention cravers, but i hate being ignored. who doesn't?

well sometimes whenever there's a certain person hanging out with me and someone else, i tend to get the boot and sort of not get talked to. like tonight, i mean we were all hanging out and laughing and then during the end of it i was just sort of sitting there, and nobody talked to me until like after 5 minutes when they noticed i wasn't saying anything.

so basically, i have to be quiet to talk to people.

-.-


anyways.


what would you do if you were me, so you would get ignored less? i just want to learn how to grasp and keep my friends attention, if that's what you want to call it, and i want to be able to talk to other people i don't know and make it less awkward and become their friend.
listen up. being quiet is not the way to get people to talk to you more. people want someone they can relate to. just say whatever's on your mind (just think before you say it).its important to express your opinions, no matter what they are. if you make mistakes, don't worry: it shows everyone that you're human, people makes mistakes. most importantly, just be yourself, no matter what. if you see that you're becoming less included in the conversation, include yourself! the more you talk, the more they'll want to talk to you. pretty soon they'll get to see your true personality, and they'll like being around you. if you're quiet all the time, how can they see who you truly are? hope i helped.

thanks
