Meet them all over again.

I often find my self communicating with people in my college and being times quite extrovert.
However this is not without it's difficulties. often I'm prone to making mistakes, but I'm not loathed by the populace (however I have been considered unsavory elsewhere).

Though sometimes I can be ambivalent about social situations and not really being sure whether I enjoy them or not. Such as at partys, etctera.

Not very. I can disguise it very well, though. What has helped me appear to be more "social" is the fact that I've been singing in churches since I was 7 or so. (originally by force, later by choice) It is a real strain for me to make small talk and ask people about their lives. It literally makes me tired and cranky. I fell like a big fake because everything I'm "chatting" about is contrived to be polite.

I don't like parties, but prefer a small group (3-5) people. I don't like church but enjoy small Bible studies. I love Rock and Roll but hate concerts, even though I do go at times (usually outdoor). I don't want to go anywhere where there will be crowds: beaches, amusement parks, malls, superstores, etc. This makes it a bummer for my family. I go anyway because I realize that I can't hold everyone else back because of my preferences. But I do get irritated from all of the stimuli!

Well, I find most of my peer group (at college) really irritating and prefer talking to people who are either older than me or quite close (in terms of friendship). I find alot of what people discuss inane, however if people are willing to discus something that I am absorbed in then I'm more than willing to obilge to dicuss things.
A good example would be in music technology lessons when my associate David Ballard is discussing U2 or popular music I become instantly good natured and sociable, however when someone is talking about their weekend I sit there half listening thinking only of what I want to talk about.
I sometimes visting the local youth club, really only because I usally not allowed to continue playing music through the night and I talk with some people of my age, yet I find myself at times being quite belligerent and lacking a connection as most people would rather do 'fun' or 'silly' things (although when in the correct mood I have a tremendous capacity for messing around).
