2. josh, everyone here is out to listen to you... tell us!!
3. Aw...that's sad, just try to be yourself and fit in that way. I'm sure people will listen to you when you be yourself. I hope all goes well.
You have always also got people here on Y!A to listen to you too. =)
4. hello josh, what exactly do you need help with?
5. Hi Josh, there isn't something wrong with you if you are looking on here to fix what you feel is wrong with you. Sounds like you've been talking to people that yes, indeed aren't listening to you. That doesn't mean there aren't people out here that don't want to listen, it just means you haven't found them! If they aren't willing to listen to you? Then they probably aren't worth talking to. Don't waste your time and energy on those people, find someone new to talk to even if its on here! We'll listen!
6. Honey life is not about being right all the time, it is about getting your point across and making sure people listen. Here is something you can do, when talking to people get them involved in the conversation, also if you are talking and someone interopsts you once, be graceful, if they keep on doing it over and over, say that you would like to make your point and when you finishe that person could talk, but again be graceful. I had the same problem, until I made my voice heard and started getting people involved in the conversation. Maybe you should do the same, just don't talk too much tough, say somethiing and go straight to the point, unless it is something that needs explantion!!!
Good luck
7. Its hard being your age. Parents wan the best for you.friends want the best for themselves and you just want to be heard and trusted.You have to find away to talk it out so add some details and let us help.I promise we will listen you are not alone
8. Josh, respect is a 2-way street and needs to be earned... Work on trying NOT to be right but try on learning how to tell people they're wrong... Once you master the skill of the spoken word and letting people realize that you're smart, the idea of beating them on the head (figuratively not literally) of you being right will hopefully dawn on them that you are truly smarter than they are...
Growing up knowing a lot doesn't help when no one is willing to recognize your genius... It's like the obnoxious joker in school, that loud-mouth guy/girl, you know who I'm talking about right...? Well, would you ever trust that person if s/he said something of significance or importance... OF COURSE NOT...!!! You would think that they're an IDIOT...
Josh, don't be THAT idiot... Patience buddy, patience... Life will deliver its lessons soon enough and it's great that Yahoo has a forum like this for you to reach out and get those frustrations of your chest... Read all the "Answers" advice and keep your head up man...!!! You've made it this far... You only have a 100 more years to go... Pace yourself...
Good luck young man...!!!

9. you sound articulate and intelligent.....keep that close to your heart - - - being 16 is a pretty sucky time because you're really coming in to your own skin. keep a journal, refer to it but don't dwell on it. enjoy a sunrise and remember how you feel when each day renews itself, because you can too. there's an old saying 'ah but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?' keeping reaching.
10. josh my man, you remind me of mysel when i was 16. let me help you out here a little bit. your question seems a little scattered and it sounds like you got on a ramble for a minute. well sometimes josh you might have the best idea in all of the world wherever you may be. it just may be your mode of presentation for your ides. for example when i was your age i had a problem expressing my own ideas. i learned to mentally accept my audience for who they are and break down individually how i would drive my points to individuals before i would open my mouth about serious details. basically the thing i am trying to convey to you is ...
11. Sometimes being smart or being right all the time is intimidating to other people - are there ANY people in your life who will listen to you : from grandparents or parents or teachers or classmates choose one person that makes you feel comfortable when you talk OR LISTEN to them.
Sometimes you might be too far out in your thinking that others just DON'T GET what you are trying to express so don't despair but ask them for a break, sit down and take three deep breaths and try to reformulate what you are trying to get across.
Then take the time to listen for feedback and take the queue to understand if they really know what you are talking about.
One great way to focus is to take a walk in the park or in a beautifully landscaped area and breathe deeply and take your time to clear your thoughts, look at nature around you and absorb what you can learn here.
Sometimes it is not so important to be right all the time but give some space to listen to others too...
relax and have a Great Day by yourself!
12. You should lead your own life and should never run after approvals/certificates from others. Others do not take you seriously, may be due to your young age .But keep yourself on right path,study sincerely as intelligence is always respected and valued.If others point out any deficiency in you, examine it and remove them.If they accuse without any basis, ignore them fully. Do not be disturbed with what others say about you.
