I’ve always had a ton of acquaintances, maybe 4-5 friends but only one or two that I’d ever consider as being close friends.
I believe that the whole social thing that they try to train us with in school is seriously misguided. And extroverts scare the living hell out of me.
The very first thing that I think is “ What do you want from me?”
I say this because I have the disposition of a rattlesnake and I don’t hide it.
So whenever a stranger approaches me with that big ass predatory smile and with an even bigger and faker “ Hiii Nice to meet you!!!” It just makes me feel like I’m about to be violated in some way.
So yeah I totally get it.
I don't have the disposition of a rattlesnake but everything else - spot on!
This thing with stranger approaching with a nice to meet you is something that is common in the US. The rest of the world don't do that. Neither do they ask it you want fries with it.
Small groups or alone. Side effects of being an introvert.
I prefer smaller circles but being alone too long sucks. I've never been one for crowds though.
I can function in most sized groups and situations pretty well. I'm pretty happy when I get my alone time though.
Depends on my mood. Usually all situations are good.
I don't like big crowds, I am very comfortable in smallish groups and quite happy being alone.
Exactly how I am. Don't know if it is because I have to deal with the public all day but when I finally leave work I pretty much can't stand dealing with humans
