Not sure when it started but I just hate talking. I have constant mental chatter in my head and so engaging with other people is just exhausting. I'm also very shy and have nothing interesting to say. But also I find that what people talk about is so pointless to me and not particularly interesting. I was teased at school for being so quiet.
I'm just nuts aren't I. 😕

I hate talking

I’m similar, I’d rather stay in than go literally anywhere. If I see people I know when I’m out, my first instinct is to hide. These are people I like.
I also hate small talk and have a few friends who when we get together (infrequently), we talk about all the deep stuff, and I love that. However I can do small talk fine, but I find even my own small talk bores me. I also do that thing at a party when I start off fine but after an hour I’m all talked out and want to leave.
I used to drink socially and then I could talk crap all evening. I’m not shy but I am reserved.

If you met me I seem quite chatty but, in actuality, I find chatting really draining and, like you, find most of what people say is dull. Weird thing is, I love observing humans and watching them interact with each other, I just don't want to get involved.

Thank you so much. I thought I was the only one. We should all get together and not talk to each other😄
