just how anti-social are you?

I'm a hermit... does that count?

I don't like being around people much at all.. they get on my nerves after a short while..

Yup, there is nothing worse than an anti-social porn peddling millionaire in your back seat

Moi.... I'm a Social Butterfly!

I bet I can beat you allll...for almost six months I was so agoraphobic that I not only couldn't leave the house, I couldn't go into any other part of the house except my room, the attached bathroom, and the kitchen. Before that I'd been pretty badly agoraphobic, but at least I'd been leaving the house a couple times a month.

If I left my "safe area" of the house I'd panic and freak out...I didn't go upstairs at all for the last six months we lived in that house.

These days I get out a couple of times a week, go to the pool or to Laughlin with my family...for a former agoraphobic to go to a fucking casino is an accomplishment, man! Two years ago that amount of people and noise and chaos would have driven me fuckin catatonic...

GFY

extremely-social anxiety

I'm a bit anti-social when it comes to speaking to girls.

But to guys, I feel "relaxed" when it comes to speaking (sorry for those wondering, I'm not gay). Reason being is probably because we share the same hobbies: Sports, women, news, etc.

Women on the other hand, I don't want to spurt out something stupid and make me look dumb.

Paxil My ex-ex-ex was diagnosed with that... He went on Paxil for four months, they took him off after the chemicals in his brain rebalanced and viola---new person.

maybe I need paxil.

Is that why he's your ex?

I hate people, they all suck except for me!

I'm not particularly anti-social, but I've found I do have a real distaste for being around crowds. My husband and I go out several times a week, but we always drive around looking for the restaurants with the least people. If the parking lot is more than half full, we go somewhere else. Unless of course I'm craving something in particular. I'm pregnant, so that DOES happen. LOL

But I get REALLY annoyed when there are alot of people at the restaurant I want to go to. I get so mad I almost wish some disease would come up and wipe out 50% of the population of the U.S. or something, just no one that I like. Maybe it's pregnancy hormones making me extra grumpy, but that sure sounds nice.

Seriously, I have to wonder, though. When we go out to eat on a Monday or Tuesday afternoon and every restaurant we go to is PACKED... are there too many people on the earth or have we all just gotten so damned lazy we're afraid to use a microwave? You'd think people would stay at home SOMETIMES! I wish people would at least give me one day a week of eating out, shopping and movie privacy without the massive crowds EVERYWHERE. Grr.
