The most unnatural of normal NT social activities

Post Reply New Topic

Funerals...well the viewing part anyways.

I just think it's morbid, always have. I would much rather attend a tribute to someone's life and honor them...then to have my last memory be of them laying in a casket.

Saying what was supposed to say rather than what I mean.

Go shopping together. Chattering and comparing purchases. Trying clothes on together. Definitely scream worthy.

Going to a noisy bar with a group of people. Yuck.

Ditto...

I am actually kind of a stone heart, i dont really cry about much anymore... very hard to get me to cry...

*golf*
dinners at 6.
all that *work* to get ready and go to church on sundays.
suit and tie gatherings/champange toasts.
bacherlor/ette parties.
"stay off the grass"

Hmm, I don't mind Bar-B-Qs, cosmic bowling, and movies. It just depends on the people. If they're people that I actually like, then it's fine. Fun even. If it's people that I don't particularly care for, or simply don't know, then, no.

That was my #2.

That's my #3. I've never been to a bar and I'm 52, now. I have never had the slightest interest. But I've walked by them, so I know why I don't want to go.

What about going alone?

...on second thoughts, it might be boring...


Strapples: Not even watching movies, such as The Green Mile? I cryed for minutes when John Coffee got the Chair...

Britney Spears obsession in an NT thing.

all of the above have proven very stressful over the years the worst was going for my first intimate meal and not knowing i was supposed to sit opposite him and that was just the start of the disaster. add to that having to try and make convbersation and i really wish id stayed indoors. he was patient with me and eventually it did last for a year so i suppose i shouldnt complain to much.

Any social situations, really; until recently my daughter was going out with a lad whose mother was terribly sociable and gregarious; her house was always full of friends and relatives, and she kept inviting us along. God, it was awkward; none of us had anything in common with any of them, but it was difficult to keep turning her invitations down.

I agree wholeheartedly about girly shopping trips, although I haven't been asked to go with anybody for ages, thank goodness!

And I hate trips to the cinema with other people (not my immediate family - that's fine). Actually watching the film is OK, but I have trouble with the whole social thing beforehand - who's going to get the tickets? Who wants popcorn? Should I offer to buy for everybody? If they offer to buy for me, should I accept, or are they just being polite, and am I supposed to say, "No, no, that's fine, thanks..."

Well, you get my drift.

I wish that I didn't view my great grandfather. Every time I think of him, I think of him in the casket

Anyway...
I think that birthday parties are a waste of time. I mean, it's JUST another day of the year!

going into a noisy bar to yell over the noise at people (really dumb when u can just talk to them better somewhere quieter).
tupperware parties, shoe parties things like that. BORING.
going shopping with other people that just nitpick at u and say that your outfit sucks everytime u pick one. grrr.

i have never been to a funeral viewing before and i hope i never have to.

Weddings are my nightmare. I still squirm over every moment of every wedding. I'm not against having a wedding ceremony. I'm fine for having one, inviting others, and celebrating the day. However, what I don't understand are the BIG, expensive weddings. Why would you invite people you haven't seen in years or hardly ever talk to? Why are people spending $40 or 50k for one day? Even if it's daddy's cash, I would prefer a downpayment on a house. "Yes, dear, I would be happy to spend thousands of dollars on a ring you will wear for one year and a dress you will wear for one day." Me no understand.
