Why do you continue to speak? People sneak away. You make them slither. They don't want to act that way but they are forced into it by your presence. It is unpleasant. You are aggressively awkward.
This goes out to all the people who break others in corners. This needs to be said. It's not that people collectively dislike you. Maybe you were just drunk. That certainly happens. The point is that a person should know when they are not getting through to someone.
Do not continue to speak when someone is ignoring you or belittling you. It is embarrassing to you, and the other person is demeaning himself by acting like a complete asshole. Chitchat is one thing, but trying to involve someone in a deep conversation when it is obvious that they don't care about the topic at all is completely and utterly irritatingly aggressively awkward. There is no need for that behavior.
If you act like this and are reading this column, I hope you think about it. It is not that I am being particularly mean or spiteful; I just want you to realize that social intelligence counts for a whole lot.
I myself have been a drunken Captain Linger. Captain Linger will not leave and everything devolves into awkwardness. It feels terrible. It's embarrassing when you are the one lingering and it's uncomfortable for the other people whether they are mean to you or not.
Don't walk the girl that you like to the house of the guy she likes. It is retarded. Nothing good can come of it, nothing at all. Everyone involved will feel a little awkward. Although it may add a hot element to the sex (the choosing part is pretty good for guys), it will sour in retrospect, and you're not even involved anyway. When you are adding to the sex lives of others, then stuff is messed up. I don't speak from direct experience here, but rather from extrapolation and fantasy. Still, that sort of behavior is retarded.
Furthermore, when acting like this you always take really clich??d positions on idiotic arguments. You use the clich??d positions to fit into a social niche, the social niche that generally identifies with the clich??s that you use. The problem is that those who recognize and respond to the clich??s know if you are using them to gain acceptance. It is obvious because the clich??s have to be used on a very subconscious level and you are trotting them out like a show horse or an Irish setter. High school weed talk is the pinnacle of this phenomenon. I suppose that there are people who don't mind this sort of obviousness. You should talk to them.
Here, this is an example of clich?? use: \I wanna grow up to be a debasor!"" There is a reaction to this quote I used. Am I cool enough to quote the Pixies? Is that the only song by them that I know? My point is that you end up using clich??s because you are lazy and nervous. You think you have decoded someone and you use what you would expect them to like as a guide for what to say. This is somewhat necessary but still retarded. You should either use clich??s on an understood ironic level or you should be so purposefully fake that it is obvious that you are behaving the way you are in order to socially coast on no effort. Of course, then you'd be cool and I wouldn't have to tell you all of this. So just shut up or learn the rules of asshole society.
