I go about my day to day and for the most port nothing out of the ordinary (in my opinion). I think once I got to a certain age I discovered from some of the people I interact with I'm not very interesting, and certainly not captivating. I have to admit this fact. The difficult part is knowing this, but also being concerned about it (bummed out). I can listen to people talking to me to the point where I give them my attention. I can speak back to them about what they say. I enjoy this type of interaction. I was sort of raised to be this way. I think a lot of us were raised to be this way. When I do speak to people I get this idea that other things are far more interesting than what I may say or do. Like something on the TV can catch their attention in the middle of what I'm saying. The interruption appears, and a new conversation nothing related to what I was saying starts. I get thrown off by this type of interaction in a way it seems like the attention was lost and there is no real reason to continue saying anything. When such things happen the feedback to me is negative. Getting negative feedback is bothersome. Some people are good at saying they don't give a rats ass about interactions that happen like that. Interactions to them become more about jokes than anything else. I think that is great but I suck making everything a joke. I guess I have a few more things to learn. Make everything I say not matter at all. For if I'm not interesting now, why would anything I say or care about saying matter to anyone else, so less saying, and if said make it not matter at all, because there is no difference. When your young and attractive everything you say matters. That is the wonderful part of being young. Typing text to yourself and publishing to yourself is exactly the same as not that interesting, and doesn't matter. But there is this, I get to practice and typing shit that doesn't matter. :) :) EOF
