I failed horribly at socializing tonight.

Doesn't anyone just want to walk together silently? Or have deep conversations about everything imaginable?

The surface level stuff makes me so uncomfortable and bored.

but you too the step

focus on that!

probably the next few dates will be throwaways - you don't need a new one right now do you?

next time - think about the small talk as a way for the person to reveal their thoughts and viewpoints.

and ask him about him - he'll carry the conversation and think you are a great conversationalist

@ScreamingFox even better - it's just practice

I have to pretend to be a real person when I'm around people :)

@Pretzel it's just people I've kinda known for years that never did like me. I go through it because it's my son's friends parents. It's not even practice, it's just boredom and sadness getting through it.

@ScreamingFox and once again you prove what a good parent you ARE!!

Kudos dear.

I'd love to hear about your life, travel, experiences. You've lived a full life so far. 🤗

I'm horrible at small talk. Wish I wasn't - I think it'd ease some of my social anxiety. But I'd lose interest anyway.

@StarLily I just can't do it, then when I do talk I end up feeling like a freak
StarLily · 51-55, F
@ScreamingFox I get that. I'm shy and extremely quiet in large social groups - makes me feel very inadequate.

It’s hard to just interact sometimes. I tend to focus on asking questions. But a lot depends on the crowd.
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@BillyMack I usually only ask questions and listen. I find the person with the most anxiety and let them talk, and I always find the animals, otherwise people will interrupt me anyway. It's like I'm not really there.
BillyMack · 46-50, M
@ScreamingFox I get it. Can be hard for sure. You’ll find your people Fox. Maybe we’re here.
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@BillyMack I'll find a friend one day, I'll never give up. And you are right there are more than a few amazing people here that I care very much about 🖤

I do, I fail at socializing too for about the same reasons. I am either too quiet or talk too much about too deep of things.
@SlippingAway Bruh SAME

@SlippingAway it's just pointless. There's a few people that don't mind but there's also most other people who treat me like a freak of nature.

I feel that but I thinn for different reasons. Often I'm perfectly content just sitting with other people and watching tbe stars or fire and saying little while wondering why the others feel the need to always be talking and doing so with the most mundane shit imaginable. It often makes me feel uncomfortable and exhausted. I know Im weird in this way but often I'm wondering why as friends we cant all be comfortable just experiencing together and have to keep forcing talk.
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@MethDozer I feel like most of what's spoken is a waste of breath. It's either negative, fake or mean. I was forced to around normies last night, so it was the worst kind of socializing.
Livingwell · 61-69, M
I miss that kind of thing.
That’s kind of why I don’t bother much anymore.

@Bexsy I had an awful night. Let's just look at the stars
@ScreamingFox we will sit quietly. Enjoy looking up and getting lost in the secrets the stars hold
Captainjackass · 31-35, M
Yes! I hate normal talk.
Sounds much better.

In which direction do you want to develop your mind?
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
@AnnaWasHere my mind is developed, I'm talking about being able to share with people on a not superficial level
