wait but
but aren't you black too :(
but forget man, the best way is just to talk more i guess. hang with your friends and be more social, initiate some convo. you cant expect to be a good speaker if you aren't confident, being self conscious about what your saying usually causes you to either 1. be incredibly boring or 2. be incredibly untalkative
there are also some things you really DONT do when talking to other people. 99% of the time you aren't talking to people you are down to earth almost from the same womb close with, so you have to be careful.
1. dont get personal - no one wants to hear about your stuff, it makes things awkward, and makes people feel bad about themselves and turn it around on you.
2. dont be THAT GUY - that condescending guy that no one likes and always make the dumb comments, people sometimes say things you dont agree with, dont argue with everything. someone likes the color green, dont go into how you think blue is better and green is gay. it makes you look like a cigarette.
3. smile, laugh, agree - im not saying just kissass to everyone, but if you appear negative in your conversations, then no one wants to talk to you. if someone tells a joke, and its NOT the funniest thing you've ever heard, dont just sit their because its not movie quality, you can still laugh. its always really awkward when you tell a joke and then there is that guy not smiling or anything just looking off.
4. dont be weird - shouldnt really have to say this, but i mean dont say weird stuff. censor yourself, no one wants to hear about how you almost ate your own stuff last night or how you had a wet dream about the chick next to you. dont make things awkward, and dont "be yourself" if you are a complete cigarette to start off with.
idk just throwing some stuff out there, might vary depending on what kind of crowd you hang with but seems pretty universal.
