I never see anybody outside my family. I don't know how to act sometimes.
I say stupid crazy s**t, that only makes sense to me, to people I never met. Like in a grocery store, I'll be mumbling some stupid s**t, and the cashier will say "What?" And I'll say some dumb s**t. " Is there any gum here?" I won't even know what I was talking to myself about.
I don't want no f**king gum!

I'm serious- all my friends and family died.

Don't you have a brother you don't care for (me too)?  You have Tiana; she's your friend... and your sons.  They're family.  You still have more people who love you than 1 or 2 people I know.

I have Tiana and my sons and grandson and his wife...
I am very grateful for that. I am blessed.

Even though I work with people every day of my life, I find sociability an effort although I lecture a lot and do outreach for our department and I enjoy it, it is a struggle.

My idea of a good time would be to get together with all of you and have a few days of bad movie watching, some good drinks and food: that would be great.  :smile:

most of my social life is online, but i travel and see family& friends a couple of times a year. and i meet up with 2 old gentlemen at the local bar on thursdays for a couple of beers and whatever the week's discussion turns out to be. and i talk to people in grocery stores all the time.
don't EVEN...EVER!

Something I could have mentioned is for some reason people seem to want to talk to me and even confide in me. Same with my mother and some other female relatives of mine. Something in our DNA, I think.

A certain friend in Austin spent weeks telling me his life story, and when he was done he said, "You're dangerous."

I am not dangerous....

I am definitely not social and if it weren't for this forum I would have almost no interaction with humans outside of my family ( and consider how little my interaction here is).  I have what I would call acquaintances at work, we know the gist of what's going on in each other's lives and care about each other, but as for actual conversation about things outside of work or common interests, there's almost nothing.  Thankfully, the Golden Girls is gaining popularity among people again so I actually have a tv show I can talk about with them.  I still like Murder She Wrote more and I predict that within the next 5-10 years there will be Jessica Fletcher t-shirts and socks at WalMart and Target too.

Guys and gals, don't forget that if you feel like chatting to someone there was a Discord channel set up for us to talk on that AJ set up for us. If anyone needs the details for it, I'd suggest PM'ing him about how to get on it.

Maybe I shouldn't have been but I'm surprised so many of you described yourselves as non-social. I know that is not the same thing as introversion but I'm still surprised. That's cool though.

So indy and I are the only hob-knobbers in the bunch?
