dont know how to response

[Jegan]

This is the major problem for me. I reallly dont know how to response to people. They try to have a covo with me, and i jus dont know what to tell them or how to react. Some people tell me jokes, and i cant even laugh.. i feel so numb and i dont know how to react.

do u have the same problems at times? :roll:

Hey Jegan
I know what you mean, in conversations, a pitfall for me is not being focused enough. thinkin about other things too much to be involved in whats happening in front of me. That usually leads to me missing lots of things being said. I just apologise and tell people I have selectve hearing (that usually gets a laugh - if only out of pity!)

Most of the time I am so worried about thinking of something to say that I don't pay full attention to what the person is saying. I also have trouble maintaining convo's at times, and I can be monosyllabilic; Yes! No! Maybe! etc. As for laughing at jokes, people don't find jokes funny most of the time and to be honest I think that they give a fake laugh just to be polite.
