Do you like talking to odd people better?

I prefer to talk to unusual people and interesting people most of the time, because they're not boring people who always want to small talk.

I've kinda learned to loath conversation in general, I guess.

What makes a person interesting for you?

Well to be honest, hobbies and interests that most people don't like. I like creative people, like artists, writers and musicians. I also like talking to "hippie" type people because they always seem to have something interesting to say.

^^ Yaye, greetings ScientistOfSound,

Thankee very much for this lovely question.

I believe that I find "normal" and "unusual" very difficult for me to define. ^^ In addition, I believe that this is also very lovely for me to interact with individuals without speaking with them (for instance, I believe this very difficult for me to interact with non-humans by speaking). I personally find all individuals very lovely and this is an honour for me to become a part (however small) of their life and spirit by interacting with them.

I am very sorry if this is horrible of me.

You've no need to be sorry, you sound like a very wise person

Only if they dont start monologues, start talking 'at me' rather than 'to me'

At least NT's involve you more in conversation. Shame the content is:
bland
so so
safe
and always appropriately
boring

I prefer to talk to people who are different. Normal people scare me.

I agree totally!

Yep weird people are easier to talk to.

I prefer this as well.
Maybe it's rude to call other people boring but they really are. I feel like there is this bunch of "normal" people that talk about the same subjects, ask the same questions, give the same answers, express the same opinions and etc. again and again. It's the unusual people that provide new information, opinions or new perception of things. They are interesting and can give you something to think about. I love it!

I dunno, I think normal people are weird...

It was more the case when I was younger. However, I've always prioritised someone being nice over how cool or unusual they are, however. I give not a crap about coolness. I used to annoy my parents because they thought I was turning down having 'normal' friends due to my preference for freaks. It didn't occur to them that I AM a freak; so it was a case of birds of feather, not me snubbing normals. That said, not all freaks are nice people and I can't be bothered with nasty people. I'll take the most average person on the planet (who is apparently a 20-something Chinese guy) over some twisted, angry, relentlessly unpleasant, yet brilliantly individual person.

I sometimes like to talk to people who are so very normal, but pleasant. I can dream about perverting them.

Good character matters more and being accepting. I'll accept anyone who accepts me.

I have to say yes. I also have to say weird people gravitate towards me. The only thing I hated about visiting Toronto Ontario was that a lot of homeless street people approached me to start conversation. Don't get me wrong it was not the well behaved average street person asking for change these were the loud mouth abusive drunks.

Strange. For a while I drove a semitruck and all the weirdest people would bug me all the time at the truck stops.

This. I also seem to gravitate to them. They are much more accepting and easier to get along with. They talk similarly, tolerating my awkward communication style and uncommon topics, my odd way of thinking. It's true there are some nice people who are not as much weired and are pleasant to talk to, but to be honest, a conversation with them is still too much small talk or NT style.

It could be worth to mention that certain good folks who are considered low-ranked in our society are much easier to have a conversation with according to my recent experience. I have been able to sustain a conversation with a homeless-looking guard of a dreary yard for at least 20 minutes, which had a purpose on my behalf, of course.

Normal people are too f*****g weird for me.
