onlyakid Member MaleSurvivor Registered: 03/31/04 Posts: 1502 Loc: New Jersey	I don't like when people engage me in small talk. Primarily because I don't know what to say. I guess this stems from my self-imposed isolation. Example, I order from a pizza place regularly at work. The drivers know me and today one of them said "I had a bad day last night". I didn't really know what to say, I had no response. I feel so stupid when these things happen.

Our friend Albert Ellis would say: (and I wish I could type the gruff voice and inflections) Quote: So what!- if you don’t make small talk with the pizza guy? He was probably fishing for a better tip anyway! If you aren’t good at small talk, it’s not terrrrrrrable or horrrrrrrrible… it’s just the way it is, is, is… I know what you mean though J. It can be really painful. _________________________ Don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be all right -Bob Marley
