No, but I can be around people.
But, can only take so much of it.
Sometimes if the conversation has some "weight" to it, yeah i might enjoy the conversation, but that is extremely rare to come across.
But if its that annoying "office talk dribble", that I can't stand.
"Did you know what Suzy did yesterday"
Or
"Did you see what (insert name of celebrity here), did at there wedding"
Or
"(insert name of football player here), hit his wife again"...
"And what do you want me to do about it", is what goes through my head, or" why should I care". I don't know any of these people and neither do you. But i get it those are rude responses so I say nothing.
Which is also rude... well then what do you want from me?
I either don't answer and get deemed "rude, or just leave which is also deemed "rude". People wouldn't know rude if it bit them in the ass.
I really don't like how people begin conversations with inane monotone repetive gibberish or the way were forced to "socialize".
And it certainty doesn't help when I'm deemed an "asshole",
when I don't talk, especially when I can't think of a legitimate response.
Let alone one that isn't gonna rub someone the wrong way.
I'm not going to say anything if i can't think of anything to say, Is there really any other way of talking? Because if there is a way to talk without thinking, well I can't do it.
(I'm being antisocial), when in actuality.
I'm just being myself, which is even more annoying because that how society want us to be... (just be yourself), okay I'm being myself.
Oh wait , "you are so rude", well I'm being myself. Make up your mind please. It's really annoying and makes me want to get the hell out of there even more, but that makes me antisocial and now I'm deemed even more screwed up for it by other people.
Then, at that point. It's even more annoying because, I walk away thinking, "I'm the rude one? All you did was talk about someone behind there back for minutes on end,
about someone I've never even met,
But wait, I'm the asshole for walking away and not conforming to your opinion or enabling your warped view?
Or
I walk away thinking, why are you telling me this, I have no clue what you are talking about let alone have experience in it, and I'm the rude one for not talking, even though you've been rambling for 10 minutes straight? That's not a conversation.
And yet again, I'm either to quite or I leave and that makes me the anti social jerk. So yeah I really don't like being around people, it's very rare that i actually have a conversation with someone, but at least not impossible.

With people i know i am the life and soul of a party... for a few hours.. then i have to run away and recharge.. people who dont know me that well get concerned and think am upset or something wrong with me.
Without people i know or a good crutch i crumble and i just want to run away
If you consider a verbose person sociable then call me the world's Next Social Hit.
Or just someone who can't shut her mouth. With time people get used.
Not at all. I don't make friends easily and I'm really awkward around other people. I wish I was more outgoing, but it is what it is.

Yes and no. I like being social but mainly in small groups where I have a voice and even then I need some recharge time by myself. I want to be social but I find that I need a little of both
I'm perfectly capable of social interaction and have the necessary skills, but I typically prefer being alone.
I consider myself to be someone who wishes to interact with others but is too scared to do so since I have many bad experiences with social interaction, along with the fact that I am still learning how to be socially correct in the eyes of society.
