There is no "real me".

Just whatever I am at the time.

Not really, no. Friends tend to be either demanding or distance. Sometimes both at different times when the mood takes them. I can never figure out what people want, so have learned to avoid getting myself into those situations. If people ask me to do something social, I either claim a prior engagem...

How do you become not annoying and likeable? Like tell good stories, be fun to be around? Be confident? Have good conversations about anything including stuff you don't care about? You can only be you. If people don't like you for you, then you'll never convince them, and they're not worth botherin...

No. Never talk to them. Your intentions are entirely innocent. But other people will not see it that way. If you linger near small children for more than 10 seconds, there will usually be someone who will accuse you of paedophilia. Sad but true. This is how life works nowadays. Always remember the A...

Social life doesn't work for me. Too many people who either don't or refuse to understand.

What you have to remember about keeping friends is that it doesn't actually matter what kind of person you are. You can lie, cheat, steal, stab people in the back, ditch them the moment it becomes inconvenient and be a general sociopath. But if you have a plausibly engaging social manner, then peopl...
