I hate small talk. I find it so bloody tedious. I live with DD15 and DH and I have a small amount of friends that I see occasionally and this completely suits me, I don’t work and I enjoy my own company.
BUT recently I have been looking to join a weight loss group, I thought it would help keep me on track. Asking around on a neighbourhood FB group there are lots but the phrase ‘we’re just like a family!’ keeps popping up and it’s put me off massively. Same with DDs sports clubs. I go along to support and I enjoy watching but talking to people I don’t know about unimportant things makes my teeth itch, I just don’t want any part of it.
Even on holiday if another couple tries to engage us DH will chat happily while I clam up. I hate going to hairdressers and beauticians for the same reason. I just want to do the things I like doing without being approached that’s all. Am I weird? Is anyone else like this? It’s getting me down.
