[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if all you do is talk about yourself, nobody will feel drawn to you.  try asking more questions and being interested in other people's responses and remembering to follow up.  how did doc appt go?  interview?  how's your dad feeling now?  Also, make yourself useful - offer to take ownership of something at school.  a pta position, class mom, volunteer for holiday x festivities, help lead Lego club, or whatever[/quote]

This! Not everyone may be interested in what you want to talk about. Ask about how their mom’s health is or if her sister had her baby. I know if my friend is changing departments, I am genuinely curious how her new work environment is. If I don’t like you or don’t know you or don’t care to get to know you better, I won’t care. Try being a good listener and learn to read people. You come off very judgy, like you think you are somehow better than others. I would be turned off by you. I say this as a person who was nerdy and a natural social introvert. Over the years, I have learned to be social. [/quote]
