Clearly to say, I am suck at talk to people, or even trying to make people like me. Maybe that is why I have fewer friends than everybody else. In the opposite, my cousin is good at networking, and he knows how to associate with people, and knowing when or how to make other people happy. I am just a little bit dull on this. Sometimes, I even trying to avoid to participate any party at all, which I felt I don't belong. My mom strongly encourage me to learn from my cousin, even I have to kiss b*tt. I tried, but not much good outcome from it. Maybe it is part of natural skill, and depend who you are. Are you a people person?

I'm choosy about people I talk to. I can be a people person but I don't have a lot of friends. Good people who are worth being a people person are hard to find.

I absolutely agree your comment. I don't need those friends who are just using me as a friend. I need friends who really treated me as friends.

hmmnn we should never put ourselves to do things we are not comfortable doing just because other people wanted us to be someone we are not... even if they mean well or with good intentions. although there would come a time when we need to leave our comfort zone... if/when it's necessary to do so. i just believe that it's better to be natural and not be forceful about it. especially when it comes to dealing with people. i don't think you suck at talking to people. maybe you just need more practice and be with people more often. you don't have to try to make people like you. either they do or they don't. i used to be very shy and quite an introvert. i used to avoid parties. i never did like talking to strangers. well at present... i'm still a bit shy and an introvert. i still don't like parties and i don't go if not necessary. however i'm more comfortable talking to people now. hehe my point... i'm still basically the same me but over the years there has been improvements... no drastic changes. i don't do it if i'm not comfortable with it. i can't claim to having hundreds of friends but the ones i have made, i hold dear. i don't need lots. a few true ones will suffice. quality over quantity.

I'm like you, that's why being online and at mylot is enjoyment to me. I feel more able to express and release my feelings online, rather than face to face.

In certain environment I can be a gay person, talking to people and networking. But most of the times I am a good listener and viewer. It also depends on my mood of the day.
