Hello cads, lately I’ve been working on being more sociable. I don’t know why but when I try talking to people/groups they ignore me flat out. I don’t know if it’s because I’m saying the wrong thing or they don’t see me as a friendly person. I wanted to know if any of you have been through this. Thanks.

For example we were trying to find a board game to play, so I said to the group let’s play Yahtzee, ignored. I asked this girl about her switch, ignored.

That's still very vague. I get that you may be new here...but... what @DarkKnight is asking is for you to be specific. Let me give an example of what that would look like:

"I have been trying to be more sociable lately. Whenever I go up to a group of people, they flat-out ignore me. I dress nice, smell good. I speak clearly, have a nice haircut (etc. fundamentals). So the last time I was at a bar/party/social event and I saw a group of 3 girls and 2 guys. I approached them and the conversation went something like this:

Mossity: .........(what you said)
Girl 1: ..... (what she said or did)
Dude: (insults you)
Mossity: ....... (responds to the insult)
Girl 2: ...... (rolls her eyes at you)

I don't understand this guys, can you help me figure out where I am going wrong?"



Notice how in my example it outlines: fundamentals, the conversation (try to remember as much as possible), body language, your environment, etc. That's how you write a post that will get you answers.

I think my fundamentals are not developed enough leading people to not wanting to be associated with me.

I think there is a communication gap. However, you are here to learn so that's good. Start by reading these articles.



After you read them, then share your next response with us. Because right now, you have not told us much for us to pinpoint the problem. How much have you worked on?


Share the response for each below. As the article says, fundamentals are crucial for success. Without them, people will naturally ignore you. Not because they are good or bad people. It's simply human nature to follow the path of least resistance. And someone who displays poor fundamentals can quickly become a social burden to others. Let us know where you fall and we will guide you further.
