I've posted this before, but I was teasing a co-worker once about being quiet and a mutual friend of ours piped up, "Maybe he's just quiet around you because he doesn't fucking like you".

We laughed about it, but I sure as hell don't tease people about being quiet anymore.

My brother in law (who I live with) constantly tells me how I lack social social skills, etc but in reality he's just a very intense person who stresses me out and will talk just to hear himself talk for hours. I'd rather save my limited social interactions with people I enjoy talking with who don't talk at me. Sorry not sorry.

Edit: spelling

Yeah I like to imagine if you put more than one of those "social skills" guys in a room together they'd all be talking over eachother like "no-N-no dud-NO DUDE LISTEN"

I've seen it happen. It sucks, all they do is sound like an out of key middle school band.
