[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not meant to be mean, but are the posters who ask these kinds of questions usually socially awkward in general? It's never occurred to me that I wouldn't be able to hold a conversation with another adult. Do you hide in corners at parties? Are you unable to make small talk with coworkers about things other than work? Just talk to them. You might even make a new friend![/quote]

NP here and yes I am socially awkward. I hate making small talk too as my interests tend towards the weird and strange. [/quote]

PP here. See but weird and strange keep a conversation going! Even if they're not my interest, it's fun to me to pick your brain about something you like. I'll learn something new. Maybe I'll even want to explore whatever it is more on my own. And I would bet that looking at me you'd blow me off totally and assume that I'd judge you for your weird and strange interests. You never know who you're sitting with unless you start chatting! It's really about manners and social graces more than anything else, and if someone shoots you down or gets judgey as you fear, then they're losers who aren't worth your time.

That is of course unless your weird and strange is like socially unacceptable behaviors....although even then I'd probably still want to know about it, but I'm a curious person by nature. [/quote]
