I'm anti-social
So, it's already a month into the semester, and I've had a total of three conversations: (1) with Prof. Destina about Hebrew language and Judaism, (2) with Prof. Mboup (my math teacher last semester) about what I'm studying this semester, and (3) with Prof. Destina about what I'm studying this semester. Aside from that there have been a bunch of friendly nods to various classmates, a few "hi"s, and a lot of business-like conversation with the library staff. And I had some math-related conversations with the teacher and the guy in the tutoring center. But that's it. I don't think I said a word to any of my classmates besides for salutations. Oh yeah, I also had a quick hi-how-are-you conversation with this former-Satmar girl whom I haven't seen around since then. So that makes a grand total of four social conversations on campus in one month.

with a blog like this, with so many followers, you call yourself anti-social?
ReplyDeleteTRS' brother-in-law's sister says about bloggers, "Nobody listen's to them in real life, so they make blogs."
ReplyDeleteGo satmar!
ReplyDeleteFormer-Satmar girl huh? Sounds interesting. What you need to learn Mr. e is the art of small talk, that is of course if you desire small talk conversations.
ReplyDeleteYeah sounds like college for me...
ReplyDeleteYeah she's funny... "People start blogs when they have things to say and nobody to listen."
Yah Satmar girl!!
Yeah man, you should try to get with that Satmar chick, I'm sure she's ok with Chabad guys! ; )
ReplyDeleteAnd sara is right, you've gotta' learn how to start talking about nonsense with strangers and hope they humor you. ..I've been trying it a bit here and there..
And: Yeah, blogging is pretty much for geeks. 'Normal' people actually TALK to each other!
lol. wut to say? either way, ud probably just open your mouth and scare them all away...
ReplyDeletei like the one abt bloggers. sadly, its true. my friends tell me i talk too much. my bloggers tell me i talk to much. either way, i talk too much. well, g-d gave me a lot of words, so WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO PUT THEM??
u can be anti social, its fun
I never spoke to anyone either. So?
ReplyDelete(Oh, right... I am actually anti-social.)
Don’t give in to the forces of darkness. I have refused to b/s all my life and still refuse. When the time comes, it will pay off (think of it like shomer negiah).
ReplyDeleteanti-socialnism is good sometimes. just dont talk. keeps things so simple.
ReplyDeletelol interesting comparison. are u saying u are actually shomer?
ReplyDeletesadly that comparison will fly right over e's head...
CA is a very chassidish holy guy! Don't imply otherwise!
ReplyDeletech''v! im only asking... i dont know him. im a good chassidish girl too... (or trying to be)
ReplyDeleteE. We've known that you're anti-social for years.
ReplyDeleteNext time come out to drinks with me, it'll do you good.
On a side note, I second the motion Yah E and Satmar girl!
I don't think you're anti-social..it's just my humble opinion
ReplyDeleteum excuse me, I believe I forced you into several unwanted conversations over last shabbos, and even into group conversations. do i mean nothing to you?
ReplyDelete@everybody #Satmar girl: If i actually saw her around, maybe we could talk. I don't even know if she's taking classes during the summer.
ReplyDeleteSara: Small talk is a major pain in the butt.
LE7: misery loves company. If being anti-social makes one miserable, does one then want company? I suppose one does.
Altie: How is being anti-social fun?
CA: the problem is that by avoiding small talk, you don't necessarily increase the amount of real talk. If you don't do small talk, you're not gonna have anybody with whom to talk about the real stuff.
Mottel: You're spilled pissed because I engaged in scuplelessness instead of going to Pacific Standard with you and Chaim?
Mims: The circumstances happened to be good when we met.
Sebastion: I was counting conversations with people in school. Outside of school, i have indeed conversed.
cuz u get to keep quiet and think all u want abt ppl, and they will never know wut ur thinking. plus, they stop talking so much and annoying u
ReplyDeleteyeah you can think about them and not be bothered by their silliness, but you also miss out on all the fun.
ReplyDeletedude, YOURE the one who's been saying you are anti social. i was just commenting. if u dont wanna miss out on the fun, then stop being anti social!!
ReplyDeleteeither way, there are times when u need to be.
Man, anti-social my ---! I don't think I've ever seen a man with so few reservations.. ; )
ReplyDeleteAltie: good point
ReplyDeleteShriki: things are not always the way they seem.
i always make good points. and i second your comment to shriki.
ReplyDelete'i always make good points.'
ReplyDeleteat least someone thinks so
yup, i guess that would be me, since u obviously dont agree. but thats ok, i dont need you to agree with me.
ReplyDeletere:anti social. you have to be anti social in all social circumstances for it to count. otherwise, you're just reserved.
ReplyDeletealso, skip the small talk. it can serve a purpose, but its not neccessary for true socialization. in fact, it interferes with true socialization.
