Have you ever had that thing happen to you where you're in some conversation group and you're an ugly beta meek loser. And you try to say something and someone, without paying attention, speaks over you. And then one of the "nicer" outgoing happy people says something like (exaggerating for humour, but only slightly), "SHHSHHH, wait, Anon has something to say!" And then they all stop and look at you expectantly, kind of like those meme images, in a slightly mocking way? And there's that moment where you realise how pathetic you are?

Sad to hear that anon, but that's how normies behave. The moment you take care of yourself, let's say by staying fit or dressing well, they will surely address you and even laugh at the most stupid comment. It's like a chip inside their brains that tells them to behave like assholes in front of people who feel miserable. And the little brain cells they have are to detect signs of insecurity.

Yes. But normally they just keep talking. After getting more socially interactive I've learned you just have to talk over other people and assert dominance conversationally. It's nothing personal anon, at least normally. People just want to be heard and the way to be heard is to talk over people or force your voice as the dominant one.

it has nothing to do with dominance, be around kinder people and everyone will get their fair share of speak naturally

it's funny, the loudest people are the ones who would end up saying some facebook status/comment level shit

Maybe in a small group of 2-4 people. But once the group gets large enough dominance takes over. Do you really think in a conversation involving 6-8 people everyone wants to hear everyone's opinion on what someone just said? No. The conversation starts to flow and people move on and build off responses. At that point it's being quick and speaking as the though forms rather than fully forming the thought and reciting it. If you approach conversation as forming thoughts then expressing them, you'll never get a word in and you'll fall behind.

Dearest Anon,
I am sorry that life has thus-far been cruel to you. In my experience, normans are like wild dogs. If you wish to gain their interest, you must treat them with the utmost contempt and scorn.

If you continue to treat them with anything but the utmost coldness it will only normalize their behavior. Cultivate singular interests and inner solitude, and hold yourself loftily above them. I suggest trail hiking and metaphysics.

When you do speak, do so with resolute confidence and with purpose, but then return to your own affairs. It's only by cultivating a momentum within yourself that other people can be pulled or pushed by your voice and your actions.

Sincerely,
Your good friend Anonymous

>tfw such an autist I'm either silent most of the time or I get too excited and talk over everyone else
I don't know why I do it. It's like I have no social awareness and don't know how to interject without interrupting someone else.

How do you know when someone has finished making their point? I genuinely can't tell

No because I’m too smug and derisive to people in groups I’m having a conversation with for them to talk over me

imagine still wanting groups of outgoing people as friends

>trying to have a meaningful conversation with more than 2 other people at a time
at that point you're just trying to fit in, or else want to "dominate" a bunch of other faggots as some of the anons in this thread seem to indicate. This obviously doesn't apply if you're actually gay.
The only time I address more than two people is if I'm the only guy among some women, as nature intended.
The sheer concentration of scrotum in this thread already makes me cringe.

Imagine pretending to be an alpha male on 4chan.

He's right though. Eventually you grow up and all the fronting and games start looking like exactly what they are.

Get a crew for protection and disengage from the noise.
