3 AnswersProgramming & Design4 years agoDon't you hate it when you receive 1-word, short replies? when you msg/txt someone, don't you say more as an introduction?
these yahoo answers allow 40 emails daily right? so I'm tempted to just say hi with personalized text if that makes sense lol
in my case i'm socially awkward but still don't know how to introduce myself online to users without blabbering like a fool.
plus, comment away since you get points :)

2 AnswersDo It Yourself (DIY)5 years agoHow do shy-introverts manage social interaction being socially anxious adults?
I know shyness isn't introversion but I feel I am - or is it simply wrong to put a label and that's the problem?
Most times it's social inexperience that people notice - and if it's especially females, they sense it and become afraid?
I'm afraid, they're afraid...so how to break the tension or initiate conversation without creeping someone out? [look for mutual interests?]

2 AnswersMathematics5 years agoHow do you greet strangers if they don't make eye contact?
As a male from a socially awkward/shy point of view, I don't want to wave and smile awkwardly like Sheldon Cooper lol
When people are in their bubble or seem attractive, why are they caught off-guard?
On the other hand I know it's wrong to think - but females can see a male further away and have their guard up. Is it best to not look them over and move on - or risk smiling like an idiot and be labeled negatively?
FYI - I'm in Canada

FYI - she was someone I knew way back from High School and being shy I haven't messaged her as often as I'd like to.
I dunno why I need validation but I'm asking :p
