   If you're shy, too afraid or choked up to speak to people you CAN work your way out of it. I was forced to by my father, he'd make me go approach girls I was checking out, have embarrassing conversations w/ strangers, play pranks on people, and whatever else he could do JUST to get me out of my shell.

   He'd ask "hey what time does that shop open tomorrow?", and instead of letting me look it up he would make me call them on the phone and speak to a human about it.

   Just understand that people are kind of dumb, and they want to have a good time in life too. If you can make them laugh, make their day a little bit better, you'll find they are happy to talk to you.

   Just take it one step at a time, crack a joke to a stranger (and watch them shit their pants out of shock if they're under 25), give a compliment to a woman and immediately disengage so she knows it's just a one-off. Call people on the phone when you have to research something. Don't putt off responding to a rough text.

     @RehnSturm256 Though there are uncomfy things you'll never get eager for. Like right now I'm clicking off the minutes of dread because I have to wring some money out of someone who wants to stiff me on a commission. I don't have much leverage on him, and my only goal is recovering as much as I can on the agreed-upon amount. It's stressed me out all day, waiting for a verbal gunfight at high noon (whenever the guy actually calls me)

     @WashedOutGundamPilot I wish my father gave me training like that. That’s one of the few things I’m bitter about. He’s a great guy otherwise, but didn’t give me a good framework of learning or experience.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @RehnSturm256 If you want to get something from someone, the direct approach is usually plenty effective; most people also don't want confrontation and there's a good chance they'll bend if you just ask. Of course, there are plenty of nigger brains who will jive as long as they can because they figure if they can just draw a conversation out long enough eventually their responsibilities will just disappear (unable to plan more than one step ahead).

     @MeBigbrain @RehnSturm256 It's just money, nobody has enough. So when someone says he'll give me a 3% commission on the net if I get a buyer for his $143k plane it's nice in theory, until he starts paying his own bills and realizes he doesn't even HAVE to pay me anything once it's already sold and done. It's dine n' dash for boomers.

     Nobody has a good name, reputation, all our industry is just fuck-ups and cast-offs anyways. What's one more enmity on the pile?

     @WashedOutGundamPilot you got this, man. :blobcatstrong: Grin and snarl during the “fight”. Maybe even call HIM to go on the first strike, put him on defensive? (Not sure how it works in your job tho). Just trying to hype ya up. If they’re a miserly type i don’t think he’d reveal any leverage to begin with :02laugh: so just go in with confidence.
