[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] Part of it is learning to reach out to people and developing good social skills, like how you were supposed to when you where my age... Also, if people see if you are making an effort to get to know them, they'll usually open up to you.
