Do you like to socialize?

Post Reply New Topic

I am not too sure I remember how I got to be social. I think I acted a little crazy. Possibly. I believe I convinced myself I was crazy and just talked to people, and if people thought I was crazy, well, I was already crazy so it didn't matter.
Maybe don't act crazy. That may not work for you. But only you know if that would work.

I tend to love it, I can talk for a long time and interact normally. One thing I despise with a passion is small talk. "Do you like the weather?". "Um, I guess". And what annoys me even more is the social convention of asking how somebody is even though you don't really expect an answer, you don't really care. And I'm already miserable I feel worse because they don't care enough to hear my true answer. If I'm in a foul mood I'd rather be alone, like right now, but in general I'm very spirited and can interact with friends with ease. Strangers not so much, sometimes I get scared, other times it's fine. Just a few minutes and I'm talking to them normally, just find a common interest. Either happy and sociable or miserable and anti-social. But usually I want to.

Yes, very much so. I love people though. ha ha People are what make me sane. I mean, I like my alone time, it's definitely nice to have. But, I love to socialize and meet brand new people all the time too!

The highlight of my day today was talking with a very sensitive, interesting girl in my English class She's always very quiet but when she says something it's intelligent or funny. We've had similar interactions before and I would like to get to know her better, but although I'm less shy around her than others, it's still a bit quiet. The bell rang when we were starting to talk about what books we liked
So, yes, I do like socialising, when it's like that. Not too much pressure, skip the small talk, also we were busy doing a task, so there was something else to do if it would fall flat. Talking about feelings- I hardly know how to. Intellectual discussion- there's no one I feel comfortable enough with to do that, plus I would rather not do it face to face. I still have problems with give and take conversation. All the things I think about on my own in my room just fly out of my mind when I'm faced with someone else. They make a banal point and I can't even rebutt that properly. My dad knows so much more than me. It's better when it's my mum and I against my dad. For example, if he is taking an anti-feminist stance and my mum and I aren't.

Only with the mates.

I socialize with people I'm comfortable with. Small-talk is much too awkward.

I think I am better with guys and people that aren't my age in terms of socializing.

I enjoy socializing with the right kinds of people. I'm normally better with adults than with peers, but if people my age are mature enough, I'm OK with that. But I have a lot of trouble reading social cues, and this really harms my confidence when I'm socializing. So, generally, I don't really care for it. Sometimes it's nice, though.

well really not as much as others i know. it feels way to uncomfortable for and the aniexty kills me but always enjoy socialzing with my family and people i really know although there are still a few mouments where i really don`t want to.

With people I like talking to and about topics that I like, yes

Yes, but I talk more if it is something that I am intrested in. If me and the same person don't share the same intrests, I mainly try to make jokes.

I like to socialize with my friends (who I count very few). But is very important that we are in small groups. More than about 10 people and I can't quite cope. Small talk isn't too bad for me as long as I don't have to carry the conversation. But socializing tends to tire me out. I enjoy it but feel completely exhausted afterwards. And that's just when it's a small group of friends.

You forgot the absolutely never part.

Normally no, because all people in my school talk about are getting drunk, who's sleeping with who, and all that irrelevant crap. I like going to movies and paintballing with friends though, so I guess that counts as socializing.

95% of the time I only talk to people because I'm expected to. The other 5% of the time I actually do enjoy it, whenever I have something meaningful to talk about.
