Re: Learning to communicate
[ QUOTE ]
OP, how old are you? [/ QUOTE ] 20 [ QUOTE ] If 18+, explain the "don't drink, but plan on it in future." [/ QUOTE ] Wish I could (explain it). I am just a sad, lonely hermit. [ QUOTE ] I agree with whoever said get a girlfriend. It really does work wonders. Beyond that, whoever said mellow out in general was on the right track. Try some weed or something. [/ QUOTE ] Okay. [ QUOTE ] Are you any good at reading/presenting stuff outloud? I think it's a valid question for purposes of determining your situation. Like, say you are given a presentation to present in front of class/co-workers, where you are going to have ample time to prepare, memorize, & practice what you are about to say. Do words flow easier then? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. On a related note, I was recently signing up for next semester's classes and decided to throw an intro acting class in there; we'll see what happens. Phil, nice post. But I don't really mind that people don't get it; my problem is that I don't explain it well. It's like when you take text and put it through a translator program, then back into English, and it's all goofy: that's what happens when I learn something from someone (or a book or forum) and then try to explain it. Toastmasters guys, yes, I've heard that as well. I'll think about it. all, thanks for the advice. I guess the thing is, I already know I should be trying to make friends, to be more confident, be a better writer, etc., but I was trying to ask about something a little more specific. Anyway, none of this stuff can hurt. I think the taperecorder suggestion is the best for what I was asking for, and I'll def put that into action. |
