Oh but lol lacking social ability is more of a curse. Back in my school years I remember getting picked on a lot because I was quiet and being alone often so doesn't make me fond of those years. People mistake me for being anti social when it's more my brain does not compute how to be social. I tend to be sad when I see people out and about having fun being with friends which are things I don't often have. I bore people so equates to no one being around. I don't choose to be like this but rather my brain struggles to think of stuff to say and another annoyance is when people tell me you have to learn to change but trust me it doesn't work that way. Just something to do with my brain being social always has been hard for me. I've learned to accept it is what it is. Welp lol enough of me being in a frustrated and sad mood today that's enough moping for today lol

I know a guy I've been hunting with and who is a former co-worker that just doesn't quit talking. (!)
Needless to say we have never sat together hunting.
Mind you he's a friend.
But when we carpooled to work on the long ride , sometimes a bit of quiet would have been welcome.

Just like the owners of your potential new home , it is people who accept you as you that you can converse with easy enough.
But you have to accept them as them too.
And not everyone gets on that level.

[“The people who make an effort to get to know me by digging beneath my surface are pleasantly surprised to find a person who is indeed quite interesting. Sure, there are some people who label me quiet and make no effort to discover what kind of person I really am. However, the ones who make an effort are the only people worth my time.”]

I am rather odd I can talk and talk about a few select subjects on and on and on but most anything else I just blank. People seem to think I like not being social this in fact is quite the opposite I hate being alone(with my generalized anxiety disorder being alone is terrible). I apparently lost in the cards of life when it comes to brain chemistry. Generalized anxiety disorder, social struggles, I generally struggle with a lot of things

On a positive note one of my mothers co workers is always sending her stuff for me to have for whatever reason they are fond of me over there and one knows I collect stuff and is always giving me stuff. She is giving me this such a nice person.

A real beauty 😍
Same year as my mother was born.
 

Always remember a fellow in grade 10.
I was transferred from one high school to another for skipping.
(And an amazing attitude)
Well this guy played with the flower gardens at school.
An outcast for his quiet demeanor and not being popular.
(Recent transfer also)
I'd chat many times and we grew a bound.
Well one day this group of popular boys, the tough leader. Started to pick on this guy. He stated his claim of wanting no trouble, left alone.
He was pushed over, roughed up, and still he claimed wanting no problems.
The tough guy took offense and the situation turned into a Billy Jack movie scene.
The quite guy put them all down bad.
He hurt them bad, blood flowing, and lots of moaning, crying.
I was pulled in as a witness.
"Told the authorities as it was, he requested peace, and to be left alone"
Short suspension was still given to him.
"Deadly silence"

No social law requiring someone to be a chatterbox.
Someone can say more with a few words than someone else can with dozens.
And... You're not the only one content (well sort of) to not be standing on a table talking as fast as an auctioneer just to make noise.

Struggle. What's the alternative?

Putting you to work along side me in the field I wouldn't care if you were silent.
Well , if you were struggling because you were quiet I'd tell you to relax about it. But wouldn't press you to chat either.
I'd rather focus on your strengths than your weaknesses.
Because that's how I'd have you treat me.

Them briskets done yet?
L.o.l..

If any consolation you have lots of friends here.. we love you just as you are.
 

I,m actually not a gregarious man,I prefer my own company most of the time and my friends one at a time. I never feel lonely, I prefer wild country over the city and small waterways and lakes to relax. I,m not usually as much of a chatter box as I sometimes do on here,maybe I save it up and it all comes out at once. Damned if I know, Something triggers it and I,m off! I don,t worry much about it any way,you can like me or hate me,ain,t gonna change the world in no big way. I like all you guys and gals here on this RCT and expect we,d get along just fine in real life. Thanks for putting up with me! John,you,re cool just as you are!

I do not think anyone cares if you are gregarious, crash. If you are gregarious we still love you and you can always lose weight. We will not fat shame you.
And I always thought of you as very shy person and you hardly ever even write anything. Sort of and introvert but in a nice way.

Unknown to me,the principal at the time,Mr.Heinsley had been watching all this for several days.We of course were sent to his office and he berated us all,but after sending the others on their way,he told me I,d done the right thing.He was a WWII combat vet and fine man,observant and fair. Another in a long line of fine men who had a hand in my upbringing.They don,t make them like that anymore.May he rest in peace!

I envy you crash. I did not have such great influence in my life. And what love I had was tough love. I still remember when dad taught me how to swim. I was 4 years old and afraid of deep water. He loaded me in his old chevrolet, drove me down to Polecat Creek Bridge, and threw me off the bridge into the water. To my surprise, the swimming part was easy. But getting out of that burlap potato sack was the rough part.

Your Dad was Houdini? You never told me that!:icon_thumleft: I didn,t learn to swim till I was 13 years old,never been afraid of water,never been afraid of much of anything. Always preferred to meet whatever trouble or danger I faced head on. You can run,but you,ll just die tired!:icon_thumleft: Thanks old guys,I owe you a debt.
