I'd admit it, I'm really weird and I look at things very unusually. But I don't get it, whenever I comment on something on Facebook, or anywhere, I end up killing the discussion. Like they were all having fun and then I suddenly blurt out something which isnt realy bad but it has it's ways to ruin every body's fun and kill the discussion. It happens in real life too. My mom tells me I'm too eccentric. Or something. Im a girl and i cant even make friends with girls. I dont know, i tried greeting everyone online on Facebook this morning but only the guys responded. Omg! Girls hate me. XD
Well sorry for the rant. Have a good day anyways. XD

There's nothing wrong with having guys as friends. Maybe your awkward? It's fine, I'm very socially uncomfortable as well. I'm sure you'll find friends who understand you and your sense of humor. Plenty of people can relate to you and feel this way, I'm sure they didn't even think much of it but you are blowing it up in your head to feel this way.

nooo I don't think awkward is a harsh word at all, maybe you think of negative associations with it but in general its nothing to feel bad about. Everybody has different thoughts and feelings with different phrases, I encounter that every day. Whoever you feel most comfortable with and enjoy spending time with the most is who you should spend time with. I agree, the more unique people the better. They are the one's who leave an impression with you and the one's you'll remember the most in your life. No problem :) Everybody feels this way, I have definitely felt that way before. Majority of the time you will it's all in your head from your insecurities.

That's true that there isn't anything wrong about having guys as friends cause I know guys are pretty much easier to talk to than girls.Hmm, I wouldn't like to day awkward, cause you know awkward, well it's such a harsh word, maybe weird, or eccentric or out of this world. But meh, weird is supposed to be normal, otherwise the world wiped be boring without the differences in perspectives don't you think? :) Thank you for being with me on this one though, I appreciate that people tell me that I'm not alone in my struggles.

I see awkward is indeed a relative term."they are the ones who leave an impression with you and the one's you'll remember the most in your life". That is a very good point! It's beautiful, I am saving that in my notes. :D you know how to comfort people, thanks again. :)

What is wrong with being eccentric?
It does not really matter how conventional your approach is, there would be no reason for anyone to abandon a conversation, irrespective of any one comment that was added. I suspect that it is more that you imagine the cessation of a conversation to be related to your input rather than the input actually deterring people. Very few people would be overly concerned about odd or unorthodox statements. In fact, some people even converse with me.

Well I dont think I can remove eccentric from my personality, well it's not necessarily bad. And when you try to look at it, something that isn't bad is good right? :)
Maybe it's all in the mind and I have to change perspectives on how I look at it, is that what you mean? :) well that's a good point, even if that is not what you mean, I should try doing that sometime.
Or maybe I should stop forcing myself to join people who Are actually willing to converse with me. I don't have to explain myself to people who have already judged me anyway. Right?
Anyway, thanks for your response. Cheers to us. :)

I can't see anything wrong with you. However, there may be a need to do some introspection. Try to think of it. Maybe everything's just a coincidence. Try to lay low and then after a few days try to comment on facebook threads again. If it happens over and over again maybe you need too be careful of the words that you blurt out. Try to weigh them down. See if people would get offended or people would take it as a joke. It's good to be yourself but just make sure you don't offend people or the situation is proper for such words and actions. God bless.

Break a leg!! LOL.. Don't overdo it, ok? I don't want people to be overcautious because that would make them happy. Just be mindful and that would be great. Put yourself in other's shoe.

I commented on response number 2 on examples about what I said to kill conversations. I'm just this person who is always quiet everytime. And I don't get o join in conversations much. And when I actually do try, I kill it ZOMG!!! XD
I will try to think very well about my responses, I hope this goes well. :) *cross fingers*

Yeah, I kinda figured that the only thing holding me back is my self. I needed that reminder. :) I have a feeling I have to stop replying to your response so that I get to win on having the last one to comment but come to think of it, letting you know I appreciate this weighs winning up there cause I won't get anything from it and I'd just prove that I'm such a conversation killer hahaha. Anyway, I'm thanks again. :P

haha do you kill the discussion because your reply is not related? Maybe it is out of the topic, like it is out of this world or something like that? Usually if that would be the case, then you will not really get a reply...Kill Joy is what they call it from where i am.
How come you cant make friends, even with girls? Have you tried approaching them?
You said Hi on FB this morning and what did you say that made the guys replied and not the girls? Just curious...
Stay Cool

HAha. Maybe that's it. Omg! Haha. I was planning that maybe we could talk about it and like say that's insane and stuff like that. XD I mean who would pay 30$ for something that utterly looks like human manure.
Hopefully I do find my type of girl crowd. :) I'll do my best to adjust too. :) thanks. :D

Well maybe it is out of this world sometimes. XD I think we come from the same place (not implying hat you're out of this world too, I'm not to proud of it but I'm from the Philippines). I don't mean to be kill joy or anything, I wanted to join in the fun, but then I end up ending it, sometimes when I do butt in, and then they act as if they didn't hear me at all so I'd repeat it a couple of times (i learned it the hard way that doing this was wrong). So that's when I just shut up to people.
Yes I have tried approaching girls. I'm afraid I weird them out too much. And most of the girls i talked to when i was still in college were into celebrities, clothes, make-up which I can't relate to, well I'm not bi or lesbian, I'm just not into those, That's when I realized talking to boys was easier.
Yep, I said hi, and greeted everyone good morning and then I sent them a picture of something made of clay that I saw on eBay that was being sold for 30$. I showed it to them cause it looked like sh*t, literally, you know like the ones sold in "blue magic" it's a sheep and houses with a tree collection thing, but it was all brown and I couldn't distinguish the sheep, the houses and the tree other than when I read the description.

Haha Oh maybe i am out of this world as well.
I think i know why the girls did not reply but boy did. Its not your good morning they did not like but it is actually the picture that you posted, very seldom a girl would reply to that, I wont,lols...
You dont have any lady friends. Maybe the girls you approach really have different taste than you are. They are into fashion and you are not. Some would look for someone who is the same as they are.
Nothing wrong with you reply, they just cant ride the humor you have, really! Change it a little, not sure how but do it differently,haha.
Enjoy

Personally anymore I think it is just people in general. Never saying that they don't like you or anything, just that no one ever comments. Many times I find when I post something no one seems to comment back in Facebook to me either, so most of the time, unless it is Business or something related, I do most of my posting about my life and such in here. Then this gives people a chance to respond only if they want too.

Thats a good idea. I dont like posting on Facebook either. If you post negative aspects of your I've on there you'd get criticized. But if you post them here, people would empathize with you and your even get paid for your experiences. Mylot is that awesome!!

LOL well I dont know why it happens with me either but I am the same way. I tend to be a bit to weird and blunt for other peoples liking I guess. I have had a lot of people take me off their friends list on facebook over the years because of it haha.

I don't think that's a bad thing. Since you were being yourself, people liked you for who you are and you don't have to pretend just to fit in. That way if they're not in your life well they're not meant to be. I think it's actually a good thing because it means that the people who are still in your life right now are wotrthwhile people. That doesn't sound too bad. :)

Maybe these people just didnt get what you mean..maybe they wasnt as smart as you are to comprehend your ideas. and besides people in facebook are busy on their own status updates..they dont have much time to spend in one discussion.they have lots of friends updates to like and comment so getting no response from your comments there are should not stressed you up..just enjoy it there,post comments and like any post you would be liking, just stay cool and interesting then people will eventually notice you..Never feel bad of yourself just because of Facebook or anything such..its not worth.

Haha! That's kinda why I prefer liking and just liking and not commenting at all on Facebook. People do the same for me too I guess. Well to be honest, not to brag or anything but on Facebook, if 30 people like my picture, at most, there will only be 1-2 people who will comment and that's about it, I respond to them and it stops. XD
I know, I was considering about deleting my Facebook a couple of weeks ago cause I feel like its going to make me a better person and it would keep me from stressing about people. But I haven't done that yet, see theres my high school classmates who got really fat, and I saw this really goth girl with somewhat bad but funny poetry and I it kinda made me smirk. And I realized maybe I'd need Facebook one day if I become really successful and would have to brag about it. XD haha., omg I'm becoming mean again. Guess I'm not ready to be a better person yet. It would probably happen, far far away for now. XD
Thanks for your advice, :D i shouldn't even get affected by such petty things. XD

I'm a girl and I like you. I think it has something to do with both of us being eccentric?
What did you do in that discussion anyway? Why is everyone upset?

Yeay girl friend!
I seem to have an affinity for otaku people, like myself(I get along well with people who are just a little bit crazy, crazy in a good way)
I see. It is challenging to make ourselves heard in a group discussion. Most of the time I keep silent unless when I have something good to say. It depends on the group. Like when it's your close friends in a group discussion, you wouldn't have a problem speaking up.
That's great, frai. We only need the true friends, why bother having so many fake ones? They just stab our backs when they get the chance. That's just rotten.
Haha! No one ever said I was NOT weird. My sister calls me weird. I didn't care. My mom is ashamed of my weirdness. I didn't care. Social stuff is a headache, I agree. We have to behave properly in public, it sort of means we can't be ourselves because the real us might drive people away. That's how I see it and that is uncomfortable... and sad.
Ahhh, that is embarrassing. What did you blurt out? Maybe you should observe people more so won't find yourself in the same situation?
I understand. When people talk about anime, it's hard to control ourselves! Maybe you got the wrong timing? It's a shame we can't hang out in person. You would really feel at home with some of my otaku friends. I have this otaku radar that picks people like you out from the swarm of normies in this dull world.

Affinity for otaku people huh? Like!!
Yep, I hope I could find the crowd I'm really comfortable with. A crowd who won't judge me and give me dirty looks when I say something odd.
I agree with it being rotten too. It's funny how you hang out with people who don't matter to you because you're lonely and you're trying to fit in, only to figure out that the whole things makes you feel even more alienated.
Well, looks like you've made yourself irreplaceable my friend. No one, can have that As much impact as you to the people who are closest to you because you aren't afraid to be who you are. Being normal is boring, and when you're just like everyone else, well, you won't be remembered too much and anyone can just take your place.
Hmm.. They were talking about dragon ball, when I said, I think it was cool that piccolo can lay eggs with his mouth, and like the way he pushed out the egg, I thought it was awesome. Ugh, when I think about it, umm, yep, weird. XD
Maybe it is the wrong timing, hmm. Maybe I need to try observiinig people more as you said, I don't think it will hurt anybody of I followed your advice. :) I'd like to meet your friends too, they seem to be cool people too, because I think you're cool as well :)
Thanks for your response, and for monetizing in my discussion. have a good one.

Yay! Girl friend. :D i seem to be okay with one-on-one conversations, but im really bad at groups. XD Hmm.. I hope it's not the being eccentric part. Well I'm kind of okay with this now and if people can't accept the way I am, well, I don't need them. I may not have a lot if friends but I'm sure that everyone who is in my life now are all worthwhile. :)
Ive asked people before if I were weird, turns out that asking is already weird haha! This social stuff, it's so hard. XD
I just kind of blurted something and then suddenly there is this awkward silence that followed my statement. I tried to break the silence by laughing but It just made the situation more awkward.
There was this time, they were talking about anime, and anime is my thing so, i kinda joined in, and i got a blank stare from them. As i theywere shocked or something. If I'm not mistaken, I think I replied to response 2 some more of the things I've said haha. :)

Hi friend, don't think girls don't like you, mostly guys are interested in replying to girls messages, so you got a lot of replies from guys. I don't think you are a discussion killer, don't think negatively and lose your hope, just keep distance from negative comments and persons

Thanks for your response friend. another friend who isn't from mylot told me that it was normal because in the Internet guys only want to talk to girls and girls only wan to talk to guys so.
I'm not sure if that is true though. I hope not because I want girlfriends too.

Haha That must be little bit difficult in your part. Are you sure you never had that intention of killing any discussion? Maybe you need to be more aware or conscious on your approach.
And you accepted you are really weird, does that mean that you accept it already?

I had the intention of joining in the fun of course. I mean, I wouldn't want to kill discussions, that isn't only mean. It's ugh. It makes me feel bad too.. XD I don't know if I should trust my instincts or not anymore cause I want to say something and when I say it it stops everyone and Suddenly the gu is over. Well if I don't say it, I'd miss the chance right. XD
Well yeah, I guess I am weird, everyone is weird anyway, if everyone was normal it would be so boring, who'd like that? XD

I'd say you're lucky that you don't make the situation awkward. Like you get that awkward silence and that awkward stares ang that uncomfortable feeling you can't help but become really embarassed about what you said( which in truth is not negative and is not stepping on other people toes) well, can't be helped, but thank you at least, I kinda feel that this is normal now, maybe I am normal too.

Well, I wouldn't say that something is wrong, they're just having fun and doing their thing. It just so happened that I had an idea in mind that I've thought to be quite a contribution to their conversation... But in the end, I end up ruining everyone's fun. That's all. ,
