I dunno, but I can relate...I can speak in public, I can play a role and be ever so friendly at work and such...I make it a rule to smile and say "hi, how are you" to anyone who comes within 10 feet of me.
But I am really an introvert, who prefers reading, my husband and this site. I have just never gotten the hang of idle chit-chat and have no motivation to.
I do have a few friends, where I am comfortable one on one and we have meaningful conversations.
In fact one one is the only way I am comfortable. And I don't see them often nor call much.
Frankly the trivial bs bores and annoys me.
I do love attending classes and can get really involved, editor of school paper etc.....but I was doing something I loved and I interacted more with the profs than the students.
Why on earth should I attempt to be a social butterfly?
And most, who know me...just consider me a bit eccentric. That's fine.
Just don't stop by my house uninvited...that's rude and I will meet you at the door and tell you I don't accept unexpected guests.
One time someone told me I was rude and I said no you were rude.
just my thoughts.....
