I'm sure that's true ... if it does not cause you such an unbearable level of stress that you are unable to function whilst doing it. Some people are people people and some are not.

 

@shiney people I've met here don't seem to entertain friends at home, just family gatherings.

Got to admit I've never been good in social situations, usually say all the wrong things and become boring, there's a "two ronnies" sketch that would probably fit me.

I've avoided these situations for years because I always come away thinking, I did this wrong, I said that wrong, etc.
I do speak to anyone who wants a chat when I'm out, but in recent years the hearing has gone to some extent and I cant get involved in conversations where there is background noise and it not one to one, so when I get asked to go to something like a reunion, which I have, I decline the offer and get the usual label of a miserable git.

but I'm only a miserable git on here, not when face to face, I hope.
