Radgina 1 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 But what if it's a stranger or"just a friend you have not met yet" ?? This really puzzles me and i did mean it as a serious question. Small talk does not have to be about boring shit necessarily. I get the fact that people may be uncomfortable small-talking in large groups of strangers but he is actually like this on a one to on or one to two basis......it's like pulling teeth and I get the feeling he just uses the small talk thing to cover up the fact that he just does not want to get to know anybody !! Many have tried and failed with him over the last year or so so the majority have just given up now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that I've had times I just didn't want to talk to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I'm a bit like that. I'll only make small talk with people if I get a possitive vibe (possibly not the right term) from them or whatever. If I take a subconscious dislike to someone, I just won't bother with them most of the time unless they make a real effort to talk to me first. I don't see it as a flaw though.

Brock Manson 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 My sisters boyfriend suffers from the same....says he doesn't do "small talk". One question tho as this puzzles me, how do you actually get to know someone if you don't start off with small talk... 172209[/snapback] I use sex as an ice breaker to be honest 172211[/snapback] With you having sex with the polar ice cap, no wonder it's melting on such a large scale.

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I'm a selfish, self centred, stubborn, foul tempered, manipulative arsehole with a very addictive personality, but i make up for this with my lightening quick wit and humour, people just can't help but like me then i slowly but surely drag them on to the same slippery slope I've been sliding around on for years.

Ally 0 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 I'm too nice if anything. Never bother with confrontation as I can't be bothered with the hassle of it and I end up feeling guilty when I tell someone to fuck off. Soft, in other words.

Woodgate27 0 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I can never be bothered to socialise. Small talk pisses me off, so i don`t talk much which makes people think i`m grumpy. I usually only join in a coversation if i have something to gain from it. If i do feel ill and chat to anyone its usually sarcastic. 171586[/snapback] That pretty much sums me up as well. It got so bad at my gf's birthday party (in fairness to me I had been up since 6am and started getting shitty at about 1am that night) that she effectively left me over it. Though we were already having problems. The day before she left me, I had been to see a doctor, then a psychologist and had been diagnosed with clinical depression (of the genetic variety). So now I'm on the "happy" pills which have caused me to be incredibly sick, I've dropped about 7 kilos in a week and don't have an appetite, at all, and I've told my now ex gf that I don't think I want to remain friends (selfish? Dunno). So I think my character flaws have increased a little bit in the last week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just when a stranger joins the group or i'm amongst other strangers, I don't talk to them. They always have to break the ice. Actually, saying that, I'm always trying to include quieter people into the group when I feel they're being left out. Maybe it's just more charismatic people that scare me into silence.
