I am preparing to take a real estate exam and I assigned up for a cram course after finishing the pre sales course online. The course however is not online. I was gone all day today and for the most part the class went well and I was able to take the practice exams and get some solutions.

The people in the class don't even talk to each other or look to each other at all. In fact, they don't say much to each other at all. I also noticed that when they left not one of them said good night. Instead they took off with an attitude like they did not care for the other person. I thought it was awkward and it did not make me feel very good.

It isn't a social event, or like high school or college; they're there to get licensure, they aren't going to be friends. It'd be like expecting people in a grocery line to get chatty with each other.

I know that they are looking to just get licensed but they did not even say goodbye to each other when they left. It was very strange.

This is nothing to take personally. People were there for a purpose, for their livelihood, really. Intense concentration is a must. Socialization, and being social butterflies. is at the back of the list for these people.

I would have felt the same way as you; I'm a chatty person myself.

Day #2 was better in fact people were starting to talk to each other. In fact I noticed that two of them exchanged numbers. What I did was focus on prepping for the exam and learning the material. I also decided to ask questions to the instructor rather than talk with others.




Now all I have to do is get ready for the exams and set a date to take the test.
