oh my god, you fucking dumshit.

Do you actually think I don't know what rant means? I was just showing how much of an uncreative conformist faggot you are by using an overly used and abused cliche. Only fruits and faggots use that term the way you did, and again you missed the details and symbolic nature of what I said. You are not a genius, you are a wretched sheep of the masses with an underdeveloped and unexpanded mind.

Answer to my posts, stop diverting the subject trying to make yourself look intelligent. I would type more, but I am extremely tired right now. By the way, I don't know wich timezone you're at, but were you up at 4:30 AM just to answer to my post? If you did, god, what a loser......
BornAgain, why must you resort to name-calling and being mean..to get your point across?



because that's what people do when they're pissed off. If you people are so depressed and all this shit, would you rather enjoy being treated like a mental patient with handicaps, or would you like to be treated normally? Read the comments on YouTube, you'll see how people really treat each other. By the way, there's nothing wrong or unintelligent about swearing or name-calling, that's just some bullshit that wanna-be peace modrators preach when they lose an argument, so they thwart the topic by putting stress onto that part of it.


show respect to forum members please or you will be banned

but my only problem is I can't make eye contact with people, and how in the hell are you supposed get hired anywhere if you don't even look at people when they talk to you or you talk to them? I'm sure some of you people have this same problem, but this shit is ruining my life.


I've had this problem all my life and have got around it by "avoidance", I look at peoples eyebrows instead of thier eyes, I talk with my hands and tend to look at my hands when doing it, I talk to an area in the room and glance from time to time at the other person I'm talking to, I make my eyes out of focus when looking towards the other person whilst talking.

I presently work for starbucks and use alot of avoidance techniques when talking to customers, like leading thier eyes by asking questions about what food/drink they want and point alot, also have my pad ready and write on that while listening so also avoiding eye contact, I was an electronics engineer before this job but that required zero eye contact anywho.

my therapist has told me to stop the avoidance techniques and now hold peoples gaze! Rolling Eyes

I just got hired from olive garden as a server like 4 days ago, go me!!!

i don't mind making eye contact with our guests, but when it comes to people I have to see often, it will be wuite a challenge.
