What am I doing wrong?

Post Reply New Topic

My social problems are several-fold:

1: Getting into arguments into my parents because I'd rather do my own thing (although not as much as in the past)
2: Me being a tad-obsessive to the point where people don't want to talk to me (and I am sorry if I come across as such, to those reading this)

And a few others I can't put my finger on ATM. What am I to do, simply put? I could use all the help I need here.

Work on not obsessing.

Ok..... what do I need to do? (Not being sarcastic here)

i'm thinking you are a teenager. at that age, arguing with your parents is part of establishing your own identity. as long as no one calls anyone any names or gets physical, i don't see a huge problem with arguing.

about obsessing, try to find things the other person is interested in and ask them questions about it. then they will be more open to listening to a little about your interests.

When talking abot your obsession, be brief.
Probably your body language reveals that you are very interested in the topic - people do not mind that (even though they might find it a bit weird/funny). I think most people find it ok to listen to somebodys obsession - for a few minutes. Try not to go into details keep it general. If it is very difficult for you to keep it brief then try to write som keypoints down and stick to them.

I do not know what your interests are but it will probably be possible to say a few general sentences about the topic and then choose a few obscure/funny/weird/interesting/gross facts to throw in. Most people will not want to know more. I guess some will ask a polite question - keep the ansver brief. You will probably be able to tell if they have a genuine interest in the subject after a few minutes.
