<p>Or not?</p>
<p>Could you imagine doing that to a group of people at a new environment, for example?</p>
<p>And are there strategies you have to make it less of a pain?</p>
<p>I'm really tired of it (though maybe it is since I made a fool out of myself) so I just decided to put a bunch of info about me onto my Facebook for the same purposes. I even kind of make it easy for people to stalk me online, since I figure that little harm could come out of it.</p>
<p>I hate introductions in general. They're really awkward.
I wish we could just jump into relationships with people or at least get past the first stage.</p>
<p>sunshineyday, i second that. i think i've forgotten how to meet people and have normal interactions with them when we've just met (i'm such a theatre kid. oh god).</p>
<p>Yeah, introductions pretty much suck. Luckily you usually only have to do that occasionally, or if you're going to a new place.</p>
<p>I don't put much introduction stuff on my Facebook anymore because in my experience people who don't know you well don't bother to stalk you anyway. Unless you're a celebrity of some sort, or your reputation otherwise precedes you. I know I haven't read most of my "friends'" facebooks. There are about five facebooks I actually care about. It was even worse back in the days of Myspace with the color and the layouts and so forth.</p>
<p>I actually don't have a strategy for introducing myself. Maybe that's why it's so awkward. Usually I'm just like "okay, I only have to be really outgoing and social for one more day, I'll just live through this." And I just try to hang around people more than the other people they're being introduced to, in hopes that they'll choose me as their friend...</p>
<p>I don't introduce myself. I just say "Wazzapnin' :cool:" and eventually they will get to know me.</p>
<p>I know people really know me when they abbreviate my name d_a
for the rest, why bother?
i wont get to know many of them anyway..</p>
<p>In my case, it depends. If say it's some organization in which I am an important member of with a leading role and we have someone new who I need to show around, I know it's another one to respect me and learn things from me so I love introducing myself xD. But say, going to family parties and doing the boring introduction such as my name, school, which college = I hate. If I have to introduce myself as -ex something I hate that too, as it's really awkward.</p>
