    I have something more akin to social antagonism. I don't really care for social situations (being around people I don't know) all that much but I'm not anxious or nervous. I'm usually just imagining what might happen if I had a bomb strapped to my chest.

    yep! :p

  • I've no problems with socialising - when I want to. But, say, before a gig, I hate smalltalk with the other acts on the bill. I want them all to fuck off so I can play my guitar before a show. I guess I'm just rude. :D

    I'm pretty sure this is just being an asshole musician.

    isn't "asshole musician" kinda redundant?

  • I'm definitely like that but I don't know when it's going to occur. Most times I will happily chat to strangers in the street about the weather or whatever but can't deal with social gatherings and need to go to the toilet to break away from it for a while.
    And then other times, I feel so arrogant and not shy at all. :confused:

    anyway, i know what you're talking about but really have no answers...as i said it really doesn't bother me

    i'm awful at small talk.. i just dont care enough... its selfish i know... but i want people to make me laugh or summat... i dont give a flying fuck if their dog has cataracts or their kid got a B grade in French... rubbish stuff... now engage me in a conversation about the time you met 3 Ukranian strippers in a deserted ski lodge and I'm all ears.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    (I) find it depends on who you're talking to. Some people are easier to listen to than others. I mean, it's easy to listen to friends telling you about X,Y and Z because you care about them but aquaintances, not so much maybe.

    I have never liked small talk with strangers. Today at work, I was really tired and lightheaded. These two elderly strangers -- men -- were trying to act silly and talk to me on the elevator and it was very hard for me to laugh (fake) and smile at them. Maybe if I would have barfed on their shoes, it would have given them something to talk about?
