Most of the time, I come off as quiet, not that I don't want to talk to them. So that works for me. :thumbs-up:
It's not really an attitude, but one thing I would need to work on, if I cared, is paying attention to things. I'm easily distracted, and prone to daydreaming.
Quote:As for this thread, I was asking about how other people deal with their problems of communication or just the bullshit of having to deal with people.
I really don't mind dealing with most people, but "mousey" people annoy the shit out of me. I guess I have a mechanism that makes me distrust anyone that seems sneaky or full of shit.
Having a well tuned bullshit meter is great. Not letting the other person know that you know their full of shit gives you the advantage. It's like playing Poker. You don't let the other person know you can see their hand.
I usually tend to stay away from those "mousy" personalities. I too don't like that type. I perfer people that speak their mind. Loud if you will. That's my personality, and I just deal with the same type easier.
Actually when I come across someone that's shy, or mousy, I will tend to try and get them going in a manner that they will show some kind of emotion, wether it be getting pissed off, or just feel more comfortable and speak in a normal tone, or whatever.

i don't know about you guys, but i'm still trying to figure this out. so, you don't tolerate people who understand you? i don't get it.
as for me, i'm pretty shy when i first meet people, so i'm probably seen as "mousey" by strangers. i dunno, does that mean everyone thinks i'm sneaky? cos i'm not entirely comfortable with that:-(

Allow me to explain...
I tend to expect people to understand things the way that I do. Being a very intuitive person, this is not usually the case. My thought process eludes many people that I deal with. I'm trying to learn to adjust my delivery, but it's not coming easy to me.
