Listen to me, dammit!

Like dogs, people can sense when you're being too anxious, too needy, trying too hard, etc.

My only advice is to try not to make it apparent that you *desperately* want to fit into the crowd, that you're desperate for social interaction because in some ways, as you said in your above post, it might give off some creepy vibes. Even if you aren't being half as desperate as I'm probably making you sound, just, you know, be natural. Be yourself.

When I was younger I used to be like that; force myself into conversations with people because I wanted to feel like I fit in with someone. Unfortunately, I was a weird kid so yeah, people would talk over me or ignore me or look at me funny.

However, when I hit highschool, when I really stopped caring what people thought and cared less if I fit in, I said what I wanted when I wanted to whoever I wanted. And you know what, people actually found me funny and remotely enjoyable; if not just for my caustic humor and blatant admittion for watching scrambled porn <<

Anyway, just... Yes. Be yourself. Don't worry so much about fitting in or any of that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
