How you impress people with /lit/ thread.

I once tryed to talk about books but the people looked at me like I was a freak/reject. Then I went to a party & tryed to put some music on but they didnt like it & turned it off. Then I drank alcohol got depressed & embarassed myself.

parties are for entertainment. by the sound of it you use them to put people down with your amazing erudition - if you want to address more pretentious matters do it with irony and at a level accessible to people with a superficial knowledge of the subject. if you are sure they know what you are talking about make it fucking worth their time

Since I was nice earlier, but didn't offer any particular advice, I figure I will chime in. But, polite-sage, since this isn't /lit/ related.

First off, impressing people is really the wrong way of looking at it. Nobody will mind if you be yourself. Just be confident, and realize that it is perfectly fine to be whoever you are. How to be confident? Easy enough, act like you are. I don't mean the horrendous over-compensating guy 'I fucked everyone forever' confident. I mean, open up your body language. Chances are you fold your arms in when talking, try not to touch others, and don't join in conversations on topics that you aren't an expert on. All of these things are hindrances.
So, open yourself up. NEVER let your arms cross, don't be afraid of touching others. Brush to the arms, pat on the shoulder. Don't linger, mind you. This right here is the biggest thing. Hold yourself with confidence, and you'll start to feel calmer and more at home in the situation. If you want to put some effort in to it, pick up a martial art or start working out. They'll both help you mentally with it.
Conversation-wise, don't be afraid to ask others questions. They LIKE talking and teaching. If you make a mistake, don't fixate on it, because no one else will. As far as applying /lit/ goes, just have a few interesting things prepared. Like anecdotes on Wilde, or other decently known authors. Beyond that, /lit/ isn't you, so don't try to force yourself in to it.

Any other questions, Tybrax? I hope these have help.

Books aren't you. Maybe they just don't read.

>>I went to a party & tryed to put some music on but they didnt like it & turned it off.

The music you listen to? Yeah, that's not you either. Hell, most people find Billy Corgan's voice annoying. He's my favorite artist, but I don't play him at parties.

>>I drank alcohol got depressed & embarassed myself.

Well, drunk you isn't you, but you ARE responsible for what happens. I'm actually sober for life. Anyway, everyone pretty much writes off what happens at parties as just being good fun. Make-outs and sex are an exception to this, though.

So, in conclusion, I don't think anyone had a problem with YOU. Maybe some of the stuff you like, but that's not really an issue. People can trash David Bowie all they want, it doesn't say a thing about me.

I attend a university. I volunteer in the writing lab, go to poetry readings, help profs prepare for classes, and teach poetry off and on. Occasionally I play RPG's with friends and tabletop board games with other students. Sometimes I go to raves, but it's for the dancing. I go to open mic nights and play music and read poetry, and listen to others do the same.
None of these things are done with clubs, and none require alcohol.
Go to an open mic, bring a poem, buy a cup of tea. You'll enjoy it. If you feel up to it, sign up to read your poem.

Wow it's another thread where Tybrax complains that she doesn't fit in. Oh, joyous of days, my life is complete. Lots of love Ty, no go out into the big bad world, and be a party girl.

The only reason you wouldn't specify if you are a boy or a girl is if you are a girl who doesn't want to be identified as either. A male wouldn't hesitate to specify.

Now Ty, don't get your panties in a twist. Yes, I can help you. Don't try to get to "know" people just talk to them, only use monosyllabic words, and stop reading. Fixed. Now you can stop making these threads, and everyone is happy, we can all shit rainbows!

yes, get drugged up, or when you start to have a panic attack use stupid tricks to shock your system back into normalcy, i kept a rubberband around my wrist, and snapped it when i started to have an episode, but this is /lit/ and not /adv/ so i am going to stop writing.
