April 25, 20179 yr Contrary to my online persona I think I am. You're definitely friendlier in person.
April 26, 20179 yr Depends on the day. Same here. And it also depends on my mood. Sometimes 8-12 hours a day of being a "people person" causes me to want to check out of society for a while and not be around anybody.
April 26, 20179 yr Only when I have to be. People in general suck. That said, I think I could have an enjoyable time with most of our BGP community.
April 26, 20179 yr Most of the time I am. When I am doing something I can only focus on that thing and can appear standoffish. I just want to get the task done, then we can talk, chit chat, etc. I hate being interrupted and will be very firm and frank. The lovely lady says it is my mean streak.
April 26, 20179 yr I will make small talk with pretty much anybody. Embarrasses my avatar sometimes. Same here. I can talk to anyone. I think it's part of the culture of eastern Kentuckians to be that way. When I use to take my uncle to the doctors in Lexington I would always get a kick out of him in the waiting rooms. If anyone was sitting with close proximity to him he would start a conversation, usually ask, "What parts are you from young feller.?" Then the subject would go from there to the weather, gardening, medical ailments, etc. My dad was the same way. I suppose I've followed in their footsteps, lol.
April 26, 20179 yr I am concidered by all who are my friends to be a good friend. One of the most dependable and loving people you could know. I don't enjoy the whole meeting people process. Being introduced to someone is one thing. Starting an idle conversation for the sake of talking to someone is another. Small talk is not my thing. I am very comfortable being all by myself, and enjoy it for that matter.
April 26, 20179 yr At work, yes. Most anywhere else, I'm more likely to "respond to an email" than engage in conversation.
April 26, 20179 yr I'm comfortable in many different settings...I guess it's a "gift" of sorts. I can be a people person in a room full of strangers, and I can also be very comfortable alone watching tv, eating, walking the golf course, etc.
