Q&A: making social contact?
Question by zuzu: making social contact?
im a high school kid and i’m bad with social skills. like i never know what to say. i hang out with a group in school of 5 kids and they are like the coolest ppl cause they always talk while me i never got anything to say. either they talk about sports, sneakers, drugs (joke wit them), and many other things that make everyone laugh, or even when they try to start a convo with me like they get on me or take my hat (tryin to play around) i got nothing to say or respond back. so basicly i’m just a follower i just follow everywer they go. another situation which happened today..we had a substitute and there was this girl that i really like sitting by herself doing nothing. i wanted to come up to her and start a convo and ppl always tell me to just be like “hey watsup” but what am i going to say after that? i dont just want to keep a conversation short of a few sentences. even on aim when i try to talk to girls including the one i really like its very short. Any books/movies that can help?
the only good thing i’m talking about is military stuff and computers but that wont really get me anywhere since noone is interested in those things. when i’m outside with mad lots of people i’m always the quiet one how do i learn to be more social?

I’m sure there are things you are interested in, things you could probably talk about for hours. Talk about that. And yes, go up to people and say hi. How are you. How was your day. Did you hear about….? Do you want to hang out…? Etc, etc. The only way to get better is to practice.
