JUST A THOUGHT REALLY....


ACTING CLASSES AT THE YMCA, COMMUNITY THEATHER OR EVEN A JUNIOR COLLEGE....THE IDEA IS TO GET AMONGS OTHERS AND MAYBE LEARN TO BE "SOCIAL" MAYBE EVEN KIND OF LIKE "ACT" LIKE I'M REALLY SOCIAL AND HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE AND ALL, BUT I REALLY DON'T....MAYBE I CAN JUST COME OFF LIKE I'M A SOCIAL BUTTERFLY IF I LEARN GOOD AND BASIC ACTING SKILLS....

ANYONE TRIED OR THOUGHT OF THIS....?

SEEMS LIKE IT MIGHT BE WORTHWHILE....AT LEAST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT I GUESS....THOSE ACTORS ON TV AND MOVIES SEEM LIKE THEY CAN "FAKE" IT OR PUT ON A GOOD "ACT" ON WHEN THE SITUATION CALLS FOR IT.

Mmm.. it might be easy to "act" like your a social butterfly but what is the point of it. You can fool others but you can't fool yourself. I dunno.. I just want to be myself. And if others dont like me for me, then I'd just rather be a loner. But MIguy i c your point. Sometimes I "act" when I'm on the phone or on job interviews.

i guess just to....

....get ahead, i was think since all my life i have missed out on all the good stuff like social people take advantage of, things like networking and having other "doors" that get opened up to them because of their perceived "social" likeness or abilities, maybe this will help out with that....or at least, help me experience that side of a social world that i missed out on and all that comes along with that....i know that i will not change who i'm inside, but at least the perception of who i am by others will change and maybe that will inturn help with my own self-image and confidence in the longrun....

if u think about it, the ones who are very social...u know...paris hilton, britney spears and etc...they pretending like they care and like being around others...so, they're acting...and in reality, everyone in the world is all about themselves, how they can get ahead, screw someone else over and get on top....now, the ones who are social, understand that to get to the top they need the help of others and that's why they comeoff as social butterflies or whatever else...so, i see it as all being about acting...u know?

i know it's a stratch....but it sounds like it's at least something worthwhile, if i can handle it at first with anxiety and all...u know?

just thinking outside the box....

I was just thinking about this recently, in fact I was going to do a post on this subject.

When I first went to a pdoc about SP he told me I should do theater. This was when I was really bad, and I was thinking to myself 'You got to be f**king joking'.

I don't think its about faking or being a fake. I think if you can do it, it might be a good place to practice social skills... you know talking ... being perceptive of people's body language etc. Stuff that most of us have not had practice at.

Lately I am kinda thinking I should try and be bit more social. Besides I saw a doc about community theater recently and it was full of good looking chicks :)

Now if I could pluck enough courage....
