Making friends and Successful
Chatting
| Have
you ever gone into a chat room only to find yourself ignored and unable to get people to chat with you? Chatting is like any other social interaction. We all know that if we go into a group of people at a party or at school... and start screaming or start asking everyone there age before we even say hello, we aren't going to make many friends. Chat Rooms are no different. Below find some Tips That will make your chat experience friendly and fun! |
COMMON CHAT MISTAKES
Member Walks In The Room And Says:
member abc: Heya Guest26
guest26: Sup room Age/sex everyone!
member abc: How are you guest?
(various chatting going on here between others in the room)
guest26: ANSWER MY QUESTION!
hostxyz: I'm sorry guest did you have a question?
guest26: AGE/SEX EVERYONE! NOW!
(various chatting between others in the room)
guest26: THIS ROOM SUCKS! YOU ARE ALL RUDE!
Another example:
member abc: Heya Guest26
guest26: hot sexy 13/f here any hot guys wanna chat?
(various chatting going on here between others in the room)
guest26: If you want to talk to a hot sexy f press 123
(various chatting goes here)

Walking into a room and demanding age/sex is the most common mistake
a new chatter makes. Most regular chatters, will ignore the question and you. In a community such as Youth Tech you will usually find people of all ages and backgrounds. That is the fantastic thing about online chatting.
Don't limit yourself... talk to everyone in the room equally. You will soon
know who shares your interests and who doesn't. If you prefer a one on
one type of online friendship then maybe you are better looking for a pen pal.

Looking For Love? You most likely won't find it in a chat room. You may
meet some cool people even of the opposite sex. You may flirt and who
knows you may even become close to someone. But if you come into a
room only to chat with a HOT/SEXY/M 15 or older or any thing like that..
you are most likely going to find yourself ignored. Honestly now? Do you
walk into a party and yell out HOT/SEXY/F here all HOT/SEXY males talk
to me now!! Nuff said. <g>
-
Shy? Lots of people feel shy when they enter a chat room where every one seems to know every one else except them. It's really easy to feel left out.
The best way to lose that feeling is to make yourself not a stranger. If you enter the room and say Hello Everyone my name is <nickname here> and
I'm new. You will find that there are normally at least a couple of extra
friendly people that will be happy to help you become a part of it all.
Basically the best way to have a good chat experience is to...
be yourself
be friendly
try to join in the conversations going on
don't be afraid to ask for help
realize that not everyone is going to be nice and friendly. The same as at school there is also going to be a few people that are rude and just make you feel rotten. The best thing to do is to just ignore them. Arguing with them will just make it worse. Show that you are better than they are by just refusing to let them get to you.
