social success

Note to my introverted self: if you can't make small talk, ask questions and then just listen.

Not a self-admonishment, because I did exactly this at a party this evening - I get to hear interesting things and don't make an ass of myself trying to make conversation that I'm not wired for.

Also got to decorate a sugar skull and eat chocolate brownies and cookies with chili :)

Sometimes, I don't mind that though - my interests are often so specific and unusual that I feel like I'm boring people if I go into much detail.

And yeah, I've been on the end of people who think they're more expert than me when I know they're not - why do you think people do that?
