Reply #23: This is a great topic!!! I kind of have the same problem, except.... [View All]

that most of the things people talk about don't interest me.... so I have a hard time pretending to give a damn what they are prattling about. I don't follow sports, don't watch much TV, don't go to movies.... I guess I just don't have anything in common with "most people." And I don't have the time or patience to sit there and pretend to listen to someone going on and on about themself... sorry! Especially when such people never ask me anything about ME!!!

Like you, I can talk in front of a group as long as there is a specific topic. It's the small talk, especially in group situations, that I'm just not good at. I'm usually the one in the middle of the group, trying to listen to conversations on either side of me... and having no one even notice me. :shrug:

Thanks for listening!
