General Discussion

I enjoyed using my witty talents to entertain, but there was some ambivalence. Then I realized that I have some form of social anxiety. I now don't like being around a lot of people and it's been like that for years. Some people would call me oversensitive, but I just consider myself hyperaware. I'm very sensitive to other people's dysfunctional behavior even when it's minor. Can't stand being with people who don't listen, speak all in clichés, are only concerned with what everyone else is talking about, and, well, I can go on. Oh! And I'm really bugged by people who just heard of something basic that's new to them and then they go on to tell you about it assuming you've never heard of it even though you have. Happened to me the other day. That phone conversation didn't last long.

While I have no problem with keeping my distance with people I do appreciate the patience other people have with putting up with annoying company.
