That sounds like me. At lunch I hate it when I get interrupted by people and have to say something. I should be talking more but then again I like to read my magazine at lunchtime unfortunately the staffroom is a loud environment and I am surrounded by NT's who like to talk.

Most of the day I leave her to it, and even when we do talk, I don't talk much out of respect.
