What secretly annoys you about social situations?

[Spinneret]

For example someone who talks quickly

 

[CAPSLOCK]

The people.

 

[TippyThomas]

The people.

Exactly. People in general disappointment me regularly. Fake people who change with the wind are annoying.

 

[CdnCarrie]

People who dominate the conversation.

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Cliques that exclude others.

 

[dizneegirl]

People.

And it might not be so secretly...

 

[Lord Manhammer]

I talk fast naturally and have had to slow down my discourse. Maybe that bugs people. I don't know.

 

[Moliphino]

Small talk. The strain of forcing a smile or pleasant expression for too long. Noise. Awkwardness.

I would say people who don’t really want to have a conversation. They talk over others, ask questions and then don’t really want to listen to the answers, and just keep going full steam ahead. It’s not unusual for them to later ask or bring up something someone else already answered or expressed.

Love having guests and we do a lot of hosting, but I do start to get antsy when they stay too long. And arriving early?!? Just no...

The whole thing. I am fairly socially awkward. I always feel like an outsider, not part of the group.

Same!
I will hit a certain point in the evening and I just want to tap out. My tank is empty.....

When we're at an event or being hosted at someone else's home, we're often the first to leave, which is another thing I find mildly awkward, but not awkward enough to force myself to stay. All our closest friends know these things about us and never take the slightest offense.

 

[barkley]

people glued to their phone screens.

 

[MimitoAlex]

Someone who wants to start in about some current hot button topic, and just not read the room.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I think it really depends on the social situation. If it is something I actually WANT to attend, it's all good. Otherwise it's just the idea that I could be somewhere else doing something else that I would rather be doing.

Having to get dressed, leave my house and interact with people

I wish we were the first to leave but not so. Even with my DW knowing my subtle clues that I am tapped out it seem like it takes forever to actually leave. Plz don't think that she should be more mindful of my feelings, it is a 2-way street. We do find the middle ground

Mingling with people who cannot carry on an intelligent conversation about important things.
