Yeah, but to be fair who wouldn’t be mesmerised by such a delicacy?

I’m a great one for accidentally blanking people. It’s not that my eyesight is really terrible, more that I subconsciously avoid making eye contact to such an extent that I won’t even glance at peoples’s faces as they walk towards me. There are several people in our area that refuse to speak to me now, thinking I’m really rude.

Yeah, that's "socially awkward." A lot of social awkwardness is just people who are irritated by everyone else's ideas of social interaction.

Eye contact is interesting. Some cultures permit more eye contact than others. In the US in seems about 3 seconds, look at something else, look back again. If I'm feeling assertive, and I do a lot, I'll maintain eye contact constantly to assert myself. If I'm feeling normal, I'll barely glance at the other person.

I hate awkward small talk. I either prefer a good conversation, or silence.

Yeah, I think people don't appreciate a good silence. Helps me get my thoughts together. Otherwise I'm just running my mouth. If you start talking about the weather and what you had for breakfast I'm gonna die.

That actually sounds really sexy. Do you growl while you do it?

My previous two jobs were customer-facing and so awkward small talk happened all the time. Sometimes people have a hard time taking social cues as to when they should just shut the hell up and let me do my job lol.

Don't get me wrong, I like a good lighthearted chat. I also just can't fill every bit of space with words.

Luckily at my current job, it is not customer-facing and so small talk is almost non-existent

Then there's me who never talks in person beacuse people piss me off, and I don't feel like dealing with them

Interesting...

It's uncomfortable for me to hold eye contact for long periods of time, unless I am in a really heated or passionate discussion. I feel like longer than 5 seconds at a time and you're trying to steal my soul!

I can do eye contact easily enough when I’m speaking to people, but have an aversion to looking at strangers. It’s definitely a hangover from my younger years. As a teenager I used to look at the floor all the time when walking, due to lack of confidence. That disappeared after I came out, but even as I now walk face up and forward I cannot look at people directly unless I already know who they are.

For the same reason I absolutely hate walking into a pub or restaurant on my own, even if I’m going there to meet friends. I’d have to scan the room in order to find my group, and that scares the shit out of me. Fine walking in with others, even just one other.

Hi everyone

Hi everyone

**charges across room, takes running leap, wraps arms around Telnac, gurgles happily**

I’m doing the cleaning. What you up to?

 

[backpawscratcher]

Why have I only just found this?

 

[Black Burn]

Good afternoon

 

[Mudman2001]

Good morning from parts

 

[Black Burn]

But at least try?

I tried, but I just don't like it

 

[Mudman2001]

I hate awkward small talk. I either prefer a good conversation, or silence.

Just being able to sit and enjoy those your with is alway better than awkward small talk.

 

[Mudman2001]

Alright, I’m off to work. Everyone enjoy you day.

Got more of that shit around Youtube, bro. xD

A looooot of it.

Weather is about half of what I talk about all day, and I don't talk much. But then again, it usually isn't small talk in my case.

Thanks, everyone for all the nice birthday wishes! Had a great night, got a bit crazy, but why not?

Spent the actual day...er...doing pup stuff in my latex pup suit. What an oddly relaxing feeling, that is. Almost like a full body massage. Feels so much nicer to wear, than a fursuit, as the inside of 'fur' is kinda like a burlap bag. They need to make two-sided fur, so the inside feels fluffy, too : P

But just relaxing again today; have to venture out on the freezing cold for groceries...brrr...but I'm tired of Ramen, and I'm outta soda!!!

Lol, the key thing is that you had fun. Just make sure to bundle up, don't want you turning into a skunksicle on us.

I accidentally typed 'f' into the google search bar and it came up with an article about the end of the world as one of the first results. The news in a nutshell I guess.

Ack! Tacklehug!
I’m doing good. I stayed in a hotel in San Diego, near the only gun store in all of CA that carries the 7.62x54R VEPR I ordered 2 months ago. It opens in a hour and soon it’ll be in my hands...! I can’t wait! CA doesn’t make gun ownership easy!

 

[Simo]

Headspace time!! Glad you enjoyed it

Yeah, it was very soothing, really. Odd phrase, head-space', as in those times when one forgets oneself, and for a time, seem to become something else. In ways, it's almost even like 'body-space' time, as well, curious feeling. Really, it's what got me into the whole furry thing, in the first place.

Well, survived the four blocks walk to Safeway and back, but brrrrrrr....maybe 5f/-15c and windy here.

Got a (small) pork tenderloin, a few pounds of carrots, an onion, herbs, will make a fancy split pea soup...good thing to cook slowly on a cold day.

A 7.62x54R VEPR eh? Um....very nice.....
