Same here. It's happened so many times. I start to talk, they hear me as in are looking at me and listening, and literally five seconds later they will start talking over me at the person on the other side of me. It's like the weirdest WTF. I'm not sure if they're that rude or they truly don't realise (as in they were not really listening at all, just following their train of thought, until they have something to say, at which point they're not even aware anymore I'm talking. I do have a mild tone of voice, but if I speak louder I just sound shrill, so...

    Gross generalisation here, but I think extrovert people tend to be less empathic because they are too busy going out emotionally and mentally to take the other person's emotions and opinions in. Because if you tend to talk more you end up having much less experience listening to other people. Also, society reinforces their view that their way is the good, healthy one.

    For me it's the opposite. It's easier with strangers as I don't really care what they think if they don't get a good impression (within reason). Now, if I do care what they think (a bosss, a client, etc.) then it's a nightmare.

    Once at a café with my brother and his girlfriend, it was BECAUSE we were talking to each other that I needed wi-fi, because I either wanted to show them something, or we wanted to check some facts on the spot, I don't remember now. Anyway, I went to the counter, asking for thw password, I was rejected with a "you have to talk to each other". I was like "O.....kay......". And then "Sorry, guys..." The thing was I couldn't use data because I was on roaming, since I live abroad and I was visiting my family, which is something I can't afford so often due to the distance between the two countries....

    first I look at the caller ID. If it's someone I know I might answer, if not it automatically goes to voice mail. If they leave a message they get a call back usually. Sometimes even that day. Many people can just leave a message and know that their communication to me is complete. Really like those people.

    Caller ID and answering machines / voice mail are your friends. You then just need to be "too busy" to return the call until it's late enough that it is justified for you to respond by text/email. lol

    I have this ability to hold a conversation without having any idea what it is about. I converse while daydreaming. It's nice at parties because it makes everybody happy (I'm in my private bubble and people think I'm happy with them) but it's a problem at work as I never know what my colleagues asked me to do even though I agreed to do it.

    Nah. Editors tend to ignore e-mails by unrecognised new artist wannabes. You'll need to actively persuade them with phone calls and arranging (and attending) meetings if you're serious about it.

    Working in the translation and localisation team for a vide game, I kinda agree with this. I'll have yet to see, though, when I finish my free-lancer contract and start actually working with them next month.

    Well, this is such a difficult question. I want to ask - whose party? who's going to be there? where is it (far away or close by)? is it raining? what book? what's on tv? etc. etc. etc. (I MIGHT go to the party - if I'm not too tired, that is.)

    I'm introverted and wear it proudly. I just say I'm not feeling sociable and will stay home. My old voice mail used to say "I can't take your call because I'm feeling antisocial and using the phone to screen my calls." Not everyone was as amused as my insurance agent, but it worked. I'm introverted, but not shy at all. Everyone gets fair warning.

I have to make up excuses for not going to do things with them, and I'm a terrible liar, so I end up offending them by admitting "I don't really feel like it" Sigh

    It's not hate, it's the fact that we need/tolerate a much much smaller amount of social interaction than normal people, but since you do want/need to interact with people, those people somehow assume that you are ok with the usual volume/frequency of interaction (which you're not) and they try to engage you far more often than you would like, so you end dreading their contact because it forces you to pretend/deflect/ or either offend (with the subsequent emotional nightmare drama) or accept (and have a rotten time doing whatever it is you accepted doing to look normal and to not offend someone.
