ShrodingersCat SG do u all feel that the older you get the harder it is to 'chit chat' on the phone? and the more irritating when people you dont feel like chit chatting to, calls at a time you dont feel like chit chat... call u and talk in chit chat tone?
av98m SG I am getting more and more anti-social with age. I think give me a few more years I'll only be grunting
Celtic Knot SG I am getting older, must rest more too.. (just now the body balance class was a good workout....improve my flexibility, but still cannot do the ONE WORD HORSE thingy )
ShrodingersCat SG yeah same here. its driving me mad when some classmates call me dont get to the point and spend all sorts of time on pleasantries, speaking very slowly and relaxedly or THINKING!!! mygawd, why dont u think first then call me! WHY waste my time on YOUR thinking! sigh. i'm becoming antisocial and atavistic probably.
the Bear SG when i was working at OUB, it was hilarious we were going for lunch.. someone from another floor came into the lift.. one of the guys grunted.. the other guy grunted back... and after a series of grunts, we came to the ground floor and parted ways... thing was, we understood everything *grunt* hey man *grunt* yeah.. lunch? *grunt* yeah.. you too? *grunt* yup.. going with the guys *grunt* i'm hungry too *grunt* hey! ground floor *grunt* see you around *grunt* yeah.. later dude
Celtic Knot SG that may be the factor of couple breaking up and failed marriage. both got older, "grunting" and not communicating, lose interest, lost confidence ,lost trust, then DRIFT APART then go apart,, just leave each other, let that, no more words.....
Celtic Knot SG oki oki...i gave depressing ideas...i leave the forum before i affect anyone.. just a thought...paiseh..
hisoka SG nope not hurting. and the bus was so crowded that i had tos tand the whole journey back in the over croweded bus. stupid pasa malam
ShrodingersCat SG i think if i am close to the person i dont mind but if haven't build up the rship I find it hard to 'entertain' usually with friends i am OVER communicative mebbe its retribution~
the Bear SG things to read about... clicky here => 7 amazing holes on earth with picture goodness too
bluejuice SG I agree. I can chit chat with my close friends anytime.. but to make small talk with people I don't know... depends on my mood at that time la..
ShrodingersCat SG ya.. and its doubly difficult if the person PERSIST in making small talk instead of just getting to the point... why issit considered rude to just get to the point? Very considerate what.
