You understand any Cantonese?

My semester went off without a hitch for the most part. Well for classes anyways. Been trying to make friends lately, since my old friends graduated. Not exactly successful, as I give off good first impressions but the relationships somewhat fizzle out by the end with all the stress from classes bogging us down. Got 1 more year to attempt it again.

Only bits and pieces I've picked up over being with my gf XD my gf barely knows it but she has a few words from her mom

Oh, I see I see. Making friends can be difficult. I struggled for a while. My personality has evolved into me sounding sarcastic with a bit of an over the top cynical side which for whatever reason people like. Of course theres a lot more to it than that, but I'd say thats most peoples first impression of me XD but it makes people wanna be my friend. So I must be doing something right!

Yeah I feel like humor can really help, even if it is just being sarcastic. I was a little too serious at the start, I felt like multiple people reached out to me and I didn't take intiative. I tried to compensate near the end, but it was clearly over. I learn little by little at least. I care more about developing social skills then my classes atm because I have light schedule and I do well anyways.

Constant problem though is seeming too serious. I feel too many people are intimidated for multiple reasons.
