Do you ever get bored?

[Voltar]

If people aren't interested in talking to you about "your stuff" and just focus on themselves, maybe you're just not very interesting.

The fact that you put words in my mouth and went in to all that says a lot. I never said anything about social difficulties, I just said you were a bit weird.

Not what I was saying- it was actually that some find it hard to go beyond what they are familiar with. I was not saying that I require shared interests/common ground in order to facilitate social interaction.

Went into it to clear up any misunderstanding and to add to the topic.

Everyone gets a bit bored from time to time anyhow: perfectly normal.

No I also hate smalltalk, I don't care your garden is looking good, or you bought some new ikea furniture. Why are you telling me?
Your kid who I have never met got into some school? Go tell someone who cares.

This is why I try to avoid respectable middle class establishments and office work, I do not find that kind of thing interesting. Fair enough if you do like but it's not my bag at all.
I find myself humoring these people to be nice, because being nice costs nothing. But it grates on me, it's such an inefficient use of time, I prefer silence, does not make me uncomfortable.

If you've nothing worth saying, leave me alone, if you do, by all means come chat to me. That's my kind of outlook on it.

You sound like an exciting individual.

He sounds a bit special.

What is the etiquette here.
Open it and read it there or take it home.

Only ever got one and I worked alone (night job with occasional overtime in the day with people) so I just read it at the desk as I started my shift.
Everywhere I have worked before hasn't been a card culture.

Due to leave this job tomorrow and this is the type of place to do leavers cards (judging by other people who have left), if I do get one what should I do, read it there or say thanks and take it home to read.

Wish I could talk to strippers and homeless people aswell...

you can't see it then you're pretty mental.

:edit: Oh and the problem is you with regards to the "I don't like the normal mindset most people have". Most people aren't actually "normal", people are bloody, bloody weird. You seem like a bit of an annoying pessimist, and coming from me that's saying something.

I've got news for you. You are the problem. Honestly. Think about it.

I'm 24.

The problem is, it's difficult to go that step further in a relationship without the small talk first.

Small talk helps to get an idea of what field this persons interests lie. Then if you find out you share interests you can talk about that. Even small talk isn't as bad as when someone starts talking to you in detail about something you haven't got a clue about or care little about.
