This sucks. On one hand, i want to get beyond this gross (gross as in largesse) limitation, but i honestly have little interest in other people most of the time.

I was talking to smalls on AIM once, and she basically said 'when i talk to you, it is a one way conversation', something i've heard from other people too, that i don't initiate, i just give limited responses to their inquiries. i just don't think i am interested in other people, but i don't know if that is a bad thing or just an attribute i have. Even people i'm comfortable with i barely talk too.

Flame away people, i don't give a shit.
 
why change? IMO 99% of the people out there aren't worth bothering yourself with.

when you find the 1%, go for it and make an effort, maybe it will be easier.
 
I'd say I am a listener for the most part, I have interests that I love to talk about though, most people just gossip though seems.
 
I knew a girl that was like that. She liked me alot but whenever i try to talk to her I get these one word answers. I was like WTF. It felt like she was ignoring me and hated me but I later found out she liked me alot. I dropped that bitch faster than Enron stock. I mean wtf you gotta talk if you want to be with someone.
 
Fortunately I'm a social butterfly and so really can't relate to this thread. I have to go float away now to socialize with my many exclusively beautiful friends. I am a magical man.

yeah, thats true. I just am not sure if it is mentally unhealthy to not have an interest in 98% of the people & things out there. I've talked to you before because you are interesting, and you aren't abrasive. But as far as just making conversation with someone at a store about nothing, i just don't feel the urge.
 
I used to be really really bad about it when I was younger. then in college I got away from it.
now I'm back to it by choice.

I really just don't like people for the most part. get your hopes up and you will only be disappointed.
 
I am.

I'm actually on the shy side. I have a healthy interest in other people, I am just very quite about myself. Some people initially think that I am not interested in them or that I have an attitude about myself, but it is just my shyness. Once I get to know someone I feel more comfortable around them, but it takes a while.

If i had a gun & an alibi you'd be dead right now. i know what you're thinking 'ah, that nordstrom has the same fucked up sense of humor i do'. No he doesn't, i really want you dead.
 
I am an introvert.I make friends very easy,but I do not ever walk up to people I don't know,male or female and innitiate conversation.To do so is akin to walking into a boiling pool of acid,only from a comfortability standpoint.I am a very good listener like yourself,but sometimes I get overpowered verbally because of this.In the case of an introvert,we are a little more selective on who we allow into our weird little worlds I think.
 
I hear that, I try to add in a point or two when deemed appropriate, unfortunately the yappers generally dont let you conversate since it turns out they are preaching.

Thanks buddy I love you too. If I had a whole lot of soap and an alibi I'd be giving you a big old hug right about now. :)

The fact that you have an 'alibi' just sitting around doesn't suprise me. What does suprise me is how quick you are to look for an excuse to use it on me.

I have no idea what all that means but I'd just like to say that if you need to talk about anything, anything at all, then I'm here to listen bro. Seriously, if you just want to spill your little heart out then I'm here for you. Remember, while it may be true that no one else loves you, I really don't know I'm going on instinct here, I most certainly do. Oh, and Jesus loves you too. He told me.

Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian woman named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

Don't quote me on this but I'm relatively certain that isn't insulting...or original. Just asking.
 
No, its from austin powers. I'm suprised you didn't know that, seeing how you spend 16 hours a day sitting in your underwear watching tv.

see you in hell

I'll have you know I'm asleep for 10-12 hours of the day, and that only leaves 12-14 other hours with which to spend "lounging" and thus your little theory has been blown right out of the water mother fucker. So there. I knew where it was from hence the "not original" part of my reply. I still love you like no other though and I'll save you a seat in Hell right in between me and Richard Simmons. Should be a good eternity. Fag. Oh, and i still think Jesus wants your cock. He told me.

Jesus wants my cock? The mexican guy i work with down at the factory? thats totally suprising.

I'm glad that no matter how traumatized my life gets i can always look in the mirror and say 'nathan from the internet loves me', and with this emotionally gratifying revelation i am thinking of quitting college so i can become a professional rodeo clown, my lifes dream. However, i need your loving emotional support to do so, as i am introverted and my only friends are a bottle of generic whiskey and a goldie hawn movie.

You know you have my loving emotional support. old on I have to wipe away all thses tears of joy. I'm so happy for you. No one is better suited to be a professional gay rodeo clown in a gay rodeo. You will make us all proud. Also, ask yourself this, have either whiskey or Goldie Hawn ever let you down? If you search deep within yourself i think you will find that the answer is "thertainly not thir!"

Wow, and all this time I couldn't imagine gays thought the same as me...
 
I've always thought you were an interesting guy Nord. Kinda weird, but smart and funny at the same time. You never really struck me as introverted.

And I'd say abotu 15% of the population is worth getting to know. The other 85% are mostly annoying. Witness this thread... :D
 
i am

its annoying because i had like serious self esteem issues.....now i dont have em so much but the damage is done. i wanna be more talkative and try and make more friends, but i tend to get afraid or come across as over the tope, or worry about being OTT, and just rely on older frineds who know my quirks :insane:
 
I am

Precisely! People at the gym and at work think I've some kind of attitude because they are not like this and can't understand that there can be other personalities than theirs. I work at a small firm and I happen to be the only one like this.

Flame away people, i don't give a shit.

HAHA....you had the same problem I had.

I'm just not very good at chit-chat.

I just like talking about more complex issues than most.
They stimulate my mind, what else can i say.

My friends all know this, so thats Ok.

I really do dislike clowns though. Typical conversation revolves around how drunk they got the week before.

Fonz

Most every major behavioral theory holds that the degree to which you are introverted or extroverted is a genetically determined trait.

Bro, does this bother YOU or does it bother you that this bothers OTHERS?
