The other day a friend of mine asked me what would constitute a good conversation with someone you've just net and the first thing i thought of was, "books, music, movies, football--if we don't agree on any it's not worth it" Obviously that's not what i told her but it made me realise just how much of i loner i am just how much i don't value enough of human company. I mean don't get me wrong, i'm not that sad, i do appreciate and LOVE having friends over or hanging out and stuff, i just think i'm better off sitting in a corner, headphones plugged in and reading a book. Plus let's face it, there are some people you can't even hope to carry on a conversation with. I met this guy a week ago, real airhead, now maybe i just didn't "mesh" well with him, maybe he rubbed me off the wrong way but it was truly a struggle to utter a sentence with more that two sylables (yes it was that bad). The worst part is this guy, being the dochebag that he is, was so absorbed in his own "awesome" self and nothing remotely intresting (would you find someone telling you about how often they work out intresting? I sure as hell hope not!!) that he didn't realise he was having a one-sided conversation, maybe that's what put me off? In the end, i bet he got off thinking that was a pretty awesome chat--i figure since he asked for my number--but i left thinking what on earth, have first social encounters been reduced to social? And that's not the only time i've been in a conversation i'd give anything to get out of, i mean who hasn't right? Some conversations can be so hard to keep going, we've all had the standard "Hey" "Hi" "So, your so and so's friend?" "Yeah you too i take it?" "Yup" "Cool" conversations, right? Admittedly most of what i've written can be seen as rather falacious and without any solid grounds and that many-a-times right off the bat the first conversation you have with someone may be the greatest you ever have with them...i just think they're too much of a hassle. I mean in some cases, there's only so far you can go...for me sadly, i'd rather not go at all. Which, having just realised that, disturbs me....clearly i need to get out more :O :O
