[quote=Esper] So making friends isn't science then. Only saying I have certain traits like that where I do things and it isn't personal and I don't do sorry very well either because that would also involve lying. Basically I want someone I can relax around and those traits seem to allow that. So how do I speak to someone on a personal level without pissing them off. I also am rather terrible with small talk. No ability to keep the conversation going. [/quote] This...Might take more than just some advice. Do you know anyone from Spam in real life? Or do you live around anyone that you've had conversations with before that you enjoyed?
