I realize my expectations of life have been spoiled too much by books and film. I am quite extroverted, but realized the day to day conversations we have are very mundane to me. I don't like meeting new people because it is so hard to get to that comfort feeling where you are just flowing in a conversation. I always feel very awkward around people, like I am on stage. Granted, I'm a great actor so in general people don't see this from me. I watch a great documentary, television show, or read a great book and then I have that terrible see someone in a hallway conversation. It's just terrible. I realize as I get older that in general I don't like a lot of people. I used to think it was great to meet people that had different interests etc. However, I realize that there is really one exact personality archetype of person I get along with really well. Unfortunately, it's the same with girls for me. I do just fine opening and chatting them up, but can never seem to make that emotional connection with them where it goes any further. Unless they have a flirty, can bring conversation and tit for tat convo to the table, I have a hard time having a conversation with them. I feel like my life in one long awesome Seinfeld episode, and everyone better have something hilarious to say at all times.
