There's a girl in my run club like this. I deliberately run hard during the first couple km to wear her down. I ran into her at a work function one time and was going to say Hello, but she was already talking to four people.

AT THE SAME TIME

I don't mean like at one at a time - she was actively holding a conversation with each person while they all spoke over each other. I was bewildered. She might be a witch. But she was having the time of her life.

My favorite ex-girlfriend is one. She's genuinely interested in what anyone and everyone has to say, and radiates that enthusiasm.

The oddest thing about it is that even she thinks it's sort of weird and she actually wants to pull back a bit, but she can't. She says it's like a magnet - someone starts talking and she's just irresistably drawn in.

She actually went to see a psychologist about it, and she said that during the session it slowly shifted so that he was doing most of the talking, then at the end, he told her there was nothing wrong with her and that he couldn't see her as a patient any more, then asked her out.

And those folks aren't on here because they already do their socializing in person. A frightful thought.

Have you never had a friend?

They like.....what....

I just like talking, who else can I yap to?

Those people should be avoided.

I'd hazard most people like talking to other people. Even most introverts, although the threshold for how much is enough or too much is lower.

🤷‍♂️ Sorry

There are very specific people I could talk to for hours.

Every one else can fuck off.

An extrovert?

.. yeah? I love talking to people who match my vibe or people I find funny or people who have interesting stories

It appears so.

shudders

I like talking to some people. Do you not like talking to anyone? Like even people you care about?

Ewww. People. 🤢

It's the first step to not being an incel
