8. I feel the same way...

it's like a whole Twitter world out there.

I can't enjoy myself in a group of people when the subject keeps changing or people are talking over each other. People lose interest in a particular topic and I'm left in the dust not being able to make what's commonly known as "small talk".

Also, people often end up thinking I'm stuck up or unfriendly but really it's insecurity.

I actually do much better with the written word than in person.
