Social queues have always been a bit of a struggle for me, so I can definitely relate to some of the things you mentioned above and probably not in a good way. It's not that I don't try, it's just that my mind works differently I think. It's not an excuse though and I definitely need to try harder.
A person has to be their genuine self, like a person who commented on this post who says they don't find people or topics interesting. That's certainly not someone I bother to waste any time with, but to them it's perfectly natural and acceptable. Just a difference of opinion and perspective.
Sometimes communication is less about one's self and more about the other person; most times actually, especially in social situations.
Yeah, that is a good point and probably a much healthier way to look at it. I am going to remember that. My wife tells me all the time "it's not all about you". :)
