I just can't stand "hanging out" with people - I find it extremely boring.
You know, just casually chatting with people, doing nothing much in particular, to me seems to be such a waste of time.
In that time, I'd rather go get more work done, or actually go do something I like to do. I just find your classic social occasions - chatting with people over a cup of coffee / meal, loosely "hanging out" with friends, going out for a drink - all mind-bogglingly boring. In those situations I watch the time go by and wish I was doing somethiing more "productive".
The irony is, all this makes me look like someone who wants to reject human contact and be alone. But that's not true - I still long for meaningful human contact and I wish there were some people I could enjoy being with. But at the same time, I hate "socializing" the way most people do. See the Catch-22?
Do people really enjoy "socializing" deep down? Or is socializing a "price to pay" in order to be with other people?
