    Default Mumbling Like a Moron.

    Recently, I've been making an effort to talk to more people in my religious congregation. I've had moderate success, but there's a select few people who I still can't seem to talk to. Why? Well, because they mumble every time I try to talk to them, and I can't think of what to say in response to their rather one-dimensional answers.

    Eg - Me: Hi, Matthew. What did you do today?
    Matthew: Umm ... Nothin' ...
    Me: Oh, really? Do you have any plans for the weekend?
    Matthew: Urr ... umm ... no.
    Me: How's your job at the moment?
    Matthew: Duuuh ... fine. ...
    Me: *tears hair out*

    I try my best, I really do, but there's only so much I can do to help others widen out and socialize.

    So, do you mumble during conversations? Have you any friends that mumble a lot?

    Must be pretty awkward for you in that situation...i guess the whole socialising thing varies in people in places like the church personally i'd rather have someone talk to me in or after church it gets boring in the homilies...so yeah but im lucky i have cousins and friends that go to the same church...!

    Who knows might not have been his day...try again maybe?

    As for mumbling i do but people dont listen anyways but its cool....i just mumble random stuff i dont really condecend people while mumbling i think its pretty harsh...but as for others...My english teachers rumbles constantly...always gets laughs though..have no clue what the lady is saying!

    I overannunciate everything. I'm special. I got in the habit because I get tired of asking people "what?"

    I usually talk too loud when people talk to me.

    I don't mumble though I talk really fast sometimes.

    I hate it when people don't give semi-decent answers when I try to communicate.

    I'm rather loud, but a friend of mine tends to mumble a lot. When we met his voice was so low that I had to ask him his name half a dozen times. That was quite embarrassing, actually.
