Stramash Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 i just wanted to get an idea what s wrong when people talk normally even for short time just like in a social group, I got really irritated to see people acting arrogantly and in very unfriendly mood then all sudden behind the curtains they bombard u with messages ???weird indeed ? If you are not the sh*t, don't expect them to be the flies. :roll: 555 +1 but he does seem to think he's the dog's bollocks !! :roll: :roll: :roll: so perhaps the saying should be; If you are not the dog's b*llocks, don't expect them to be the dog's tongue... May the dog be with you!!! ...oops! wrong one! Learn to lick them you must... Oops, I meant Learn to like them you must...

marco_funny Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 before approaching anyone eye contacts and gestures indicates weather or the n ot the group of persons are interested into getting to know you, m opinion it s not the right thing to go over to people who refuse to exchange eye contacts or show any facial interest, thus what s the point to approach them ?? the reason why i have posted this thread because i had 5 of my friends who had the same scenario with multiple people in many events organization being in Face book or here or even sanook website. I have personally approached them durinh the event and they don't want to converse or talk, as I can speak intermediate Thai it s certainly not the language barrier, those people clearly shows very gloomy face and pretends to ignore you completely then later send message "Hi I m bla bla bla Do you remember me ????????"

PeeMarc Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 dude, you seem to be assuming a whole bunch of things and labeling them "weird". I suggest you check you assumptions again because they dont seem quite right. And while youre at it, check yourself too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loburt Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 marco, if you're so funny, why don't you just lighten up a bit, eh? maybe then, more people will talk to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky_house Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Well I have only been to two TF events, and I found that everyone that I talked to, to be very friendly. Mind you, at Aom's picnic, they were probably after the chicken satay on my plate. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeusbheld Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 being shy is obvious and different from being rude, no actually it isn't obvious, unless you can read minds. and it's a big (and quite rude) assumption on *your* part to claim you can tell the difference. i seriously doubt you can read minds, and if you claim you can i'd need to see you do it in a controlled experiment before i'm even slightly inclined to believe you.

riga71 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I agree, shy attitude can frequently be confused with total uninterest or even made appear people as "stuck up"... and in Thailand it's not uncommon to missunderstand, because the attitude to cover shiness is sometimes confusing. I saw often at parties some nice looking guy sitting alone, while the group of girls that were talking with me were obviously interessed (I could hear their talks) but did show totally indifferent, scared of exposing themself. It can happend everywhere, but in Thailand, due to cultural background it's more frequent. Why they contact you later?? That prove that were interessed in knowing you but were too shy.... Behind a keyboard no reason to be shy anymore and so they try to get in contact with you. If you give them a chance maybe next time the will be a little bit more brave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalcat Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I can see where Mr Funny is coming from. PPL seemed "clicky" and cold when I went to my 1st TF event. (As a side note as a former event coordinator I think some ice-breaking games would do a world of good.) I think this is the result of a bit of shyness and cultural differences - this isn't the west. People stick to familiar faces and groups. If you smile and come up to people they are most likely respond with warmth, but no one is going to run up to you. If someone does act like that I think you can confront them individually and ask them that in a personal message. If you want a real culture clash come to Moskow and try the same thing at a social event. Overall, it's good to just be open and take the 1st step and not take offense to cultural differences.

Katoom Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I am really not sure what message is coming out of this thread; it really is quite disturbing. I have some sympathy for the OP and don't mind admitting that. But, I find the responses quite disturbing. Am I missing something here?

Enchanted Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I have been sulking, but I decided to re-emerge and reinvent myself whilest retaining my Knight in Shining Armour status in response to the OP...Man, I agree with you totally. I am also a very shy man and hide in the corner and hope that none of these superior 'thais' rivet their gaze on me or make some condescending remark. In return, none of them smile at me or hug me and I sit drinking my lemonade in silence while other awful womanising men (like those who have responded on this forum) clearly engage in promiscuous activity with the 'thai people'. I also notice that the 'thai people' get together for photographs constantly and exhibit a profoundly 'ap bow' stance with their fingers assuming a V sign to indicate their victory over the intruder: ME... The solution, my friend, is to shun society in this country altogether and adopt a hermit existence like all the other people who post sad diatribes regularly on these forums. Alas, I'm back. (And I am supporting Khun Abhisit). :roll: :roll: Just thinking along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 LOL @ Loburt. I have to agree. People will remember you more easily (and positively) if you lighten up and start posting (positive) journals ... Well, .. you've gotten that far... Secondly you might want to upload some clear facial shots as well. I have to say I would not recognize you either, even after this post, not even if you would show up with that bike. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
