I generally meant just having the desire to talk with someone regularly even for no practical reason. Most times ppl ask how I’m doing or how my day was, it’s one word answers because I don’t feel the need to share, and usually there’s not much going on. I don’t really get how ppl, even married couples, have so much to talk about.

I can’t stand idle chit-chat though, and do everything I can to avoid it.

Note: I am single. I wonder why?

Same here, lol

But for me, I pretty much just mentally flip a switch when work is done, and don’t give a shit about it until 9am the next work day.

Same. This is the behavior I expected from most people, however many seem to be closer to your coworker, which I also cannot wrap my head around.

This would def be me if in a relationship. I’m gonna have to be on the lookout for a lady that doesn’t mind the stoic quiet type, haha

I’m currently single and have been for most of my life, and I think this may be one reason why - I don’t have as strong of a desire for that kind communication so I’m more ok being alone than seemingly the average person.

I’m not worried about this as like you stated, people are all very different and there’s someone for everyone. I just find it interesting to hear the logic behind people’s social behavior that I don’t identify with.

Humans are social creatures.

Agreed. As I age I’m starting to realize most humans seem to enjoy socializing much more than I do.

Interesting. I feel almost the opposite. I am also not in a relationship, but almost never feel lonely and have no desire to share most things with anyone. Having little experience I can’t say for sure, but it almost would seem like a chore to me to have those conversations. Probably explains why I’m usually single, haha

Well … what is it then? If you don’t tell me I’m gonna keep pronouncing it with my Minnesotan accent!

I can see this I suppose. I’ve never been one to enjoy talking or conversing in general, so I guess I’m more disposed to silence.

I always related with the talking heads lyric “say something once, why say it again?” Lol

Then who would vote Republican besides the rich? Not enough of you to do it alone.

Just close it before washing. Like a muzzle.

“the sky is blue” according to new report!

The birds and the bees are both males. They pollinate flowers, which would be the females in the analogy.

Be outgoing and funny

Lol. Be rich and handsome too, it will help.

You’re funny. It’s 2025, words no longer have any meaning.

It used to make me mad. Now it just makes me sad.
