Because it fills up their empty minds
Ouch! that's NASTY :
: ..... but i kinda like it! (hehe)
(shame on me i suppose, but i also have quite a "low" view of "the common people" in general .. its not due to them not having TRULY hard problems like most people on here, but its just a people thing, and i just tend to dislike people with "really major" problems less than (most) people with no "real" problems, as such people (former) tend to think much more, feel much more, have much more "backbone" & "character", etc, etc ... but thats just my own imho, & i'm shooting well off at a tangent here...
I can imagine it would be quite enjoyable to speak to friends casually without experiencing anxiety, but we just don't have that freedom
That's something i can probably only ever "imagine" & never ever experience...
I'm like an elderly person who lives alone (& is lonely) - whenever they are around another human being, & ooportunity is there, they go on & on & on & .... And just like that elderly person, i am just as boring to the listener, just seem to have that knack of making people feel bad or sth, without even trying. A natural, inate quality or trait one could say. So, i DO like talking to people sometimes (about my own interests), but almost always they DON'T LIKE LISTENING. I start to sense this on average after about 30 seconds of me talking. Never been able to understand it, probably cause its totally non-logical (ie is emotional, which i've alweays been totally crap at); involves all these ultra-subtle feelings, micro-expressions, and such - which the "common" person values almost more than life itself it seems (ie they CANNOT BEAR to feel the SLIGHTEST amount of emotional discomfort, for the MINIMUM amount of time). What wussies. I MUST NOT cause them the SLIGHTEST drop of emotional-feel-good for even a MICRO-SECOND .. don't want to frustrate these "demands" of theirs by merely TALKING to them, ay????!!!
Its always been like this. Maybe thats why i kinda "gave up" with people a long, long time ago.
