    That’s my wife. Leaving parties is the worst because I love the ol’ Irish Goodbye and she needs to say bye to EVERYONE at the party that she talked to.

      I’m fairly well connected and that’s exactly why I use the Irish goodbye LoL. It used to take me half of the party to say hello, then I’d be saying goodbye straight afterwards it felt. I realized that as long as I connected with you at the event you don’t remember if It was coming or going so I just started leaving. It was so liberating.

    My wife and I are some weird combination of this. She’s a local doctor and we routinely sees people that recognize her that she can’t acknowledge first.

    After volunteering multiple days in the lunchroom at a my kids elementary school last year and working in a high school media center this year I’m a bit “that friend” but in a more creepy way because I know everyone’s kids, but not their parents.

    I brew an 8-cup pot every morning. Most days I only drink half of it, a couple of times a week I drink the whole thing. I roast my own from a blend of coffees I spent almost a year nailing down.

    I can quit whenever I want lol

    Ah, man. I used to have a friend just like this. We’re still friendly these days, I just stopped drinking so I don’t get out until the wee hours anymore.

    Seriously we’d walk down the street and every third person he would stop and chat to as if they were lifelong friends… Somehow even after knowing him for years every time it would be people I didn’t recognise. I assume he must have been dealing or something.

    This is invariably the case when a person deep in the Introvert side of the scale goes out with a friend far into the opposite side of the same scale, (i.e. an Extrovert).

    On the other hand there are situations were it’s the Extrovert friend that feels awkward and the Introvert one that is at home and energized, normally anything to do with figuring out and solving really complex problems and situations rather that casual socializing.

    It’s absolutelly normal to feel comparativelly inept next to an expert doing their thing in their expert domain.

        I bet you’re good at something, even if only because you’ve done lots of it and/or find it interesting.

        It needs not be expertise in a formal “expert” field, for one to be an expert.
