...that your quiet/shy. started my new job today, i was introduced to everyone, i said hi and all that ****. i work mostly with older people, everytime they would introduce me it would go like " hey this is Apc23, hes shy/quiet haha," "im sure in a few weeks he'll open up." i duno, i dont feel shy, if i needed help i asked, i guess i need to be more social?..its so annoying. i dont really have a question, this just bothers me. it happened at the interview too.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
People telling you...
