Take a look at the other comment I posted. It covers what some people might be feeling, but there could be other reasons for their behavior.

Maybe it's because of the circumstances in which you're talking to people. It could be your entire city or country. Maybe you're at a place where people don't like to talk or meet others. Maybe there's something distressing that they can't stop thinking about. Even the most charismatic person wouldn't be able to reach most people in those situations. So even if you think that nobody wants to hear what you have to say, there are lots of times where people don't want to hear what anybody has to say.

Maybe instead it has something to do with you. Maybe the things you tend to bring up simply don't interest other people. Or maybe people look at you, and without you even saying a word they already decide that they don't want to get to know you. What could you do to improve how you look or make yourself more interesting? I know that's stupid and shallow, but many studies have shown a stupid amount of benefits of being attractive and beautiful. Hot girls don't always talk about interesting things, but unfortunately they aren't hard pressed to find an audience regardless of that.

I know this all probably sucks to read, but it's great that you're working to grow and improve. And it should be noted that if you keep striving to talk to more people, you will surely find people who will gladly listen to what you have to say. Maybe a few of those listeners will turn into friends. But don't get down on yourself if they don't, most of them won't no matter how interested they are in what you have to say.

I'll end this with a couple suggestions. The first suggestion, as you might gather from the last paragraph, is that you should search for more people to talk to. Like I said in my previous post, this is an unhealthy type of relationship for you. I recommend that you meet more people. I read a book called Talk to Strangers: How Everyday, Random Encounters Can Expand Your Business, Career, Income, and Life, and while it's not a great book, there are a few gems in it. My biggest takeaway from it is that in order to confidently meet people you must believe in four assumptions:

  1. The world is a friendly place
  2. Everyone can be met
  3. Almost everyone you meet can enhance your life in some way
  4. You can enhance the life of everyone you meet
    I've found that believing in these assumptions really does motivate me to talk to strangers. The more you experiment with it, the better you get at it. Plus it will expose you to types of people that you might not otherwise interact with, which is beneficial in a lot of ways.

    I know this second suggestion will seem illogical considering the title of the post, but I can't recommend Just Listen: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone enough. I fully credit it for every time I've met someone who seems to enjoy my company. In this post I've listed off a bunch of things that you might be doing wrong, but this book will explain to you how to do things right. It's made a huge difference in my interactions with people, and a lot of people I meet now think I'm charismatic. I fully credit that to this book. Now that I think about it, I'm going to start re-reading it tonight.

    Hope that helps.

Tja. En smideskurs i silver eller en smedkurs är toppen. Du ska verkligen pröva. Det är väldigt roligt och du kan tillverka saker som du kan ge bort. Det ger hög tillfredsställelse. Tänk att du ska försöka göra något regelbundet. Dvs gå till ett ställe där det finns folk som brinner för något som du själv gillar. Då är det lättast att hitta polare.

Om du är den som pratar om andra personer så är det ju inget hinder att bryta lite tankemönster. Genom att uppleva saker så hittar du något annat att prata om som du säger. Tänk såhär: "Vet du vad jag råkade ut för på stan. Kramade en kompis och då sa hennes mamma att hon också ville ha en kram, men sedan gick hon därifrån och det visade sig att hon inte var hennes mamma, utan bara en tant som gick förbi!" Vips så har du levlat i din konversation. :)

När det gäller backpacking så är det ypperligt att åka själv. Jag vet att det är näst mardrömslikt att göra det själv. Men jag LOVAR att du kommer inte ångra dig om du gör det. Se det som "exponering" en utmaning utan dess like. Om du inte kan motivera dig, gör det bara för att kunna prata om det sedan. Så tänkte jag när jag gjorde lumpen! Fungerade skitbra. Börja borra lite på nätet. Chatta lite med folk på forumet mm. http://www.backpacking.se/ tror jag stenhårt på. Kanske till och med kan hitta resesällskap där.

Baka är king det med. När du en gång blir inbjuden till något, ta med dig något du bakat. Typ en snygg burk med kakor, eller en toscakaka etc. Det gör att du sticker ut från alla andra och det flockas folk till. :)

Här är en länk till det som min polare hoppade på: https://www.facebook.com/charismaticrevolution Det är mer inriktat på att hitta en partner. Men det är så mycket mer.

Läs lite böcker som uppvärmning: Bok 1, Bok 2
Dessa böcker kickar upp din förmåga supermycket. När du pluggat på lite, gå ut och testa. Du har ju aldrig något att förlora. Visst det kommer vara obekvämt, hjärnan skriker av rädsla, men det är som att köra bil. Plötsligt så är inte bilen ute och kör med dig utan du kör bilen. Hjärnan adapterar och förändrar sig.
