<p>EC, I am so glad you took my comments in the gentle way I intended.</p>
<p>But please listen to ALL of us telling you that you need to work on your social skills so that others can discover the nice, friendly, caring person that is hiding behind that obnoxious big personality.</p>
<p>After seeing your video, and after reading your comments on various threads, and considering your pride in your “big personality”–I almost get the feeling that your treat your interactions with others on campus as if you are in a constant audiition for some unseen big role…like you are looking to be the BMOC in the campus drama. </p>
<p>My guess is that the other students on campus aren’t reading the same script that’s going on in your head, that they don’t have a clue they have been scripted in to your interior drama…while you are starring in the reality show taking part inside your head…and so you aren’t connecting with them in real life, where they are.</p>
<p>Maybe you should take your drama skills and pretend you are on a show where you are responsible for interviewing and learning about the people you encounter on campus.
Give yourself extra points if you can avoid talking about yourself or exhibiting your big personality while you are “interviewing” your campus mates.</p>
<p>And please, please, please…get the help you need while it’s free and easily accessible on campus.</p>
<p>If you don’t get the help now, when you graduate (from wherever) and are in the real world, your social problems on campus will pale in comparison to the effect they will have on your professional and other facets of adult life.</p>
