Today I was at Costco. They were out of Relish, Deli mustard and onions at their restaurant. A ...well an Asian or Oriental? older gentleman asked if it was all out. He looked like he wanted to say more but did not and I could not think of anything to say to him, so I sat down and ate my hotdog in silence without even looking at him. Felt bad, I think he was there wanting to have contact with others.
Do you just start talking to people for the hell of it or do you just ignore others IRL? |
This surprises me, given your sense of humor and demeanor on this site I had you pegged as the "doesn't know a stranger" type that can chat it up and find common ground with most any type of person.
As for me I normally don't have problems talking to anyone and am fairly outgoing, that said there are times I just don't really feel like it either.

I’m very open to strangers and mostly upfront..which is why I’m sometimes a bit too much for people, as my fellow Germans are not known to like much small talk. I‘m a fire dragon, I guess, and it shows. That said, sometimes I just hate people and prefer to stay for myself, depending on my mood. Not a big fan of that American style “how ya doing” smalltalk though. I prefer deeper topics than beer and football. |
Hmm Errorist, I'm a fire dragon too ... are you a Sag or Scorp (my guess). Not that there is really anything to all that mumbo-jumbo in my opinion but I used to work with a guy that was into it. We would always try to guess our server's sign when we went out between shows.
