[quote=Anonymous]Some good advice from above, so here is another angle: Just decide you ARE odd/weird, whatever, and let your freak flag fly! The trick is to make yourself be approachable in your weirdness, so you get friendly curiosity rather than critique (which sounds like it's coming from their insecurity, maybe because you're from the big city) Focus on them…focus on positive things about them that you can comment on: their hair, their kid, their brand of Huggies…ask them about it, get the focus off yourself and on to them in a friendly, non-judgy way. I'm pretty shy and an older woman who has tons of friends etc taught me this. It's true; when I talk with her I always end up talking about myself; she is so good at getting people to talk! But the trick is, she's really interested in them. My mom is the same way. Find what's interesting about someone else and focus on that. Good luck, OP! [/quote]
