>I wanted to say, I'm not shy, I just wasn't participating in the conversation going on around here because it was stupid. (It was a lot of schmoozing and bullshi**ing and carrying on, and I was just too tired today to even pretend at pretending...)
------------------

Oh, I do *so* agree with you. "Normal" people seem to enjoy the endless dissection of a handful of gossip and media scares, and like you, it doesn't interest me, so I don't ever say anything. I don't feel the need to jump in on someone's argument about how shower water causes lung cancer, or somebody paid $140 for their car insurance, or how hot the guy on Joe Millionaire is. Beyond that, I don't get the impression that anyone really wants to listen to me when I do talk. There are maybe a half dozen people in the world that I truly enjoy just chatting with, because we share similar interests. Beyond that, much conversation just seems like social grooming. However, this avoidance of conversation is usually more pronounced the more depressed I am, so maybe I'm just not happy enough to care. Prattling people usually seem pleased.
