This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

With regard to social interaction, I do find myself trapped in a cycle of social spheres, where I'll meet people based on some common interest, exhaust my bank of 'look I'm a normal person' small talk (with 100% more interesting but irrelevant facts!), and slowly drift away and apart from them before ceasing to talk altogether.

It's also the fact that the longer I don't talk to someone the harder it is to reconnect but that's outside the scope of the argument - the point being is that despite trying very hard to be extroverted, I have very little small talk. Sometimes I just like being near people, though. Living alone is kind of sad. (and then I remember my ex-roommate. ugh. ever live with someone who thinks publically outing you is funny?)

Anyway I'll stop there
