I'm getting better

I couldn't take - I had to let people know how I felt about them or a situation. Sometimes the response can be disappointing, but I've learned that for the long run it's never a wasted effort. Just more practice for me then

When it's disappointing, it's usually when the recipient says something offstandish/rude to my innocent and feeble compliment

, is unsociable to where it feels like it's moreso selective, or when the person is illiterate, fickle, or has a dull personality (

). Illiteracy is a bummer

no long or serious conversations for them. Trying to keep a conversation going with a boring person is like solving a trigonometry problem all over again. It seems I take first impressions to the heart when it comes to chats. If any of those events happen in the first meeting, after I initiate the conversation, I usually never talk to them again or always keep the response brief

A simple and genuine compliment is always a good icebreaker for first timers and initiators. Preferably privately/at a time or place where you can give them your undivided attention incase a conversation were to actually ensue (yay!). I'd feel out the person from afar first if I could, they might be the type to not take compliments well

I feel like this too. I feel like when I message/talk to someone I'm just annoying them and that they're just too nice to leave or stop talking randomly. If someone's cute it's much easier though.
