If it wasn't online I'd go out talking to random people but I wouldn't feel fulfilled without developing strong bonds... and to do that I'd have to find a nice and trustworthy person in RL who isn't too busy and I can't find people like that, at least I never have yet.
I don't naturally come with that 'chit-chat' thing most people are equipped with, simply can't generate conversation like that, unless you've genuinely peaked my interest. I generally don't have anything to say, and I certainly don't just talk to random people.
I had a pretty big 180 turn in this aspect.
Up to the age of about 26 I've never been conversational unless it was about a specific interest of mine.
Now I feel like I want to talk to everyone about everything and in work I usually do if I'm given the chance and there's no language barrier.
but I still don't like talking in groups and I hate a party atmosphere.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
