Has any1 ever told you 2 "stay out of it"?

yes, I have been told to ''stop jumping into peoples' conversations'' when trying to be friendly, listening to and showing interest in peoples' conversations. Why have a private conversation around other people- anybody should feel welcome in a conversation in public.

I think that happened to me all the time when I was young. I just became adept at stalking and sitting just outside of view but within earshot and made it a point to listen in on the most delicate details that I wasn't made privy to. I still do that kind of thing today as well. Not the stalking, but I listen in on conversations I am not invited in.

I have a special interest in people and how they interact, though I generally don't like interacting with them myself. There are times I think I'd like to, though. In those times I normally emulate what I have seen before and make up an alternate bunch of life experiences when asked about them to prevent people from getting to close.

Bodorus,

sometimes I think they're trying to exclude me, but it happens in independent groups. I'm wondering if it's natural human behavior to change the shape of a circle based on the number of people and socially normative personal space, and I'm not instinctively adjusting to fit in with everyone else so it closes on me.

I haven't been told this since in a long time, not since I've been out of high school.
