You know when a bunch of people ask you to go somewhere, doesn't matter if it's work colleagues, friends, people you may just have met somewhere, and you go there and you just kind of not want to be there for most of the time?
Say at a restaurant, and you kind of sit there and listen to people talk and make jokes about innuendos and whatever and stuff that is kind of funny but isn't that funny and they talk about life problems but it's just the same old thing you've heard before and that everyone who has ever lived before had.
And you want to sort of chime in but it feels like everything you're about to say has been said before and it's just so goddamn obvious it's not even worth saying out loud?
I don't know, whenever I go out with people I just can't seem to find any enjoyment to it, compared to reading a good book, watching a good movie, playing a good game.
Like if it's a group activity like paintball, or theme park, or go carting, that can actually be fun as hell, but most of the time people just seem to want to meet and stand around talking, or stand down talking, and talking...and talking...and talking. Like you go to a party and people hold beers, and talking...no one's busting moves, no one's having an intellectual conversation about anything, just talking about random tidbits of random things.
I don't know, I've been like this ever since I was a kid, I just can't enjoy being somewhere and just standing there doing nothing but listening to inane things. Maybe I'm just being a pretentious asshole, but is there anyone else who experiences the same thing?
