wtf
People are not themselves at parties at all, and you're supposed to be yourself to impress others? People are always acting out at parties, are intoxicated or are just looking to be something else for a night. Nevermind the fact that parties get loud and having a conversation of any worth is difficult.
exactly
look at the non-existent success rate of any of these "advice" threads on GAF, these always make me laugh, since basically everything that people say is a contradiction ("be yourself!" "act cocky and funny, and confident!") and is meaningless
wtf do people expect, everyone will go through different situations and meet different unpredictable people in different environments, and that's mega-frustrating but a whole lot (if not all) of the odds are directed by pure blind luck... there is no way to foretell how they'll like or dislike you, they'll also have different tastes and some might enjoy total pompous assholes while others might prefer shy nice guys
and despite most of them being good willed, forum users who're basically total strangers in regards to your existence, can't offer a goddamn practical thing to you... and their view is basically that of the typical cynical young male, a very biased and short-sighted one
ultimately, only you knows how to improve your situation... other people's takes and views on the Internet are funny for entertainment, and maybe to glean a little inspiration from, but other than that unless they're ready to interact in your real life, they're useless and yer on your own, so swear by autodidacticism and don't kid yourself from the contrary
