Just a softspocken dude who likes to keep to himself 1

The cashier dudes always ask me how I'm doing and if I'm in a bad mood I ignore them and if I'm in a good mood I just say "it's a good day"
Idk I dont like this whole exchange when I look at it. Small talk is the worst. I'm so unwilling to waste my time with small talk that I never make any new friends. Shits weird.

That cashier sounds nice. I am a king at small talk. Same with big talk.

its his duty as a cashier to appear interested in you as a customer. truth is he probably doesnt care how you are doing and he is just trying to get through his shift with a positive attitude. you could do your part and be polite. no need to make small talk.

I can take it or leave it tbh. I am good a chit chatting, and I enjoy positive interactions with strangers when I'm not trying to get shit done.
But idk..it's cliche, but I'm used to fast paced larger cities, and if I'm in a rush and someone is slowing me down with small talk or walking slowly infront of me in an area where I can't pass them(grrrr), I'm never impolite or anything but I think it does something to my blood pressure a little bit .
I have family down south and it's always a minor culture shock when I visit.

When anyone tries to speak to me in public i just grunt and point to my headphones that are clearly blocking out the sounds coming from their mouth holes. Some people take that as a sign they should shout though. We should move to an all vending machine system when I don't need to talk to "people"

I feel ya ichug. Theres this guy at a 7-11 near me who asks way too personal questions like "Where do you work?". It annoyed me so much, i stopped going to that 7-11 at night. Im totally fine with small talk but when a stranger asks me personal questions like that, it kinda makes me mad.

i think you have to be a pretty social person to enjoy working at a 7eleven or any OTC sales job.
why would someone asking you where you work make you so mad? are you embarrassed about your occupation? it couldn't be more embarrassing than working the night shift at 7eleven

I guess im annoyed when strangers ask me personal questions. I like a more progressive approach: "Hey how are you today?" "Nice weather isnt it?" "i see you like Replinish drinks", etc instead of "Hi there, i see youre wearing your work shirt, where do you work?".
In Psychology, theres something called "Social Penetration". No its not sex. Its about self-disclosure to other people. We disclose more intimate personal things with our closest friends, family and lovers and less intimate/less personal things with strangers. People have layers like an onion. What this guy was doing is penetrating my personal information right from the start before even knowing my name. And that annoys me.
Im also a classic Scorpio which means i prefer my personal privacy.

One time i was photographing subs in a rural area and i guess i was looking a little sketchy/nervous. Dude in a ute must of seen me come out of the bushes and he asks "What are you doing?"... I said "home" and that was that. I think i stumbled into a good method to avoid personal questions.

Wow you're the first Scorpio I ever heard of that was a nice person. That's dope.
You man I agree that I need to be slowly peeled back like an onion. You can't just dive right in and ask my personal biz

Yeah i get that a lot. Scorpio's have a bad rap in general. I used to have a really bad temper as a teen but luckily i grew out of that.
Back in college, i watched this clip in a Psychology 101 class. Still relevant!

Perhaps the legend of the Orge is a reference to anyone who prefers to keep to themselves for the sake of privacy and personal comfort 
Scorpions are a bit like Orges too. They prefer to live alone (usually underground) away from other animals. Its also curious that Scorpions are nocternal and I am sensitive to light (must wear sunglasses during the day).

I only visted the States once, but I feel you guys are masters at being polite and small talk
You guys should visit France. See if you can get a waiter to actually say anything to you

Ha, yeah. Ive heard French people are really stuck up. However, i met some French people in Denver last year during the Shpongle Live Band show at Red Rocks. They were super friendly 20 something year olds! It was also ironic when i told them that CloZee is French and they never heard of her. 
Americans do love the small talk. Although I only really see it in certain places like the bank, check out at the store, 7-11 and sometimes waiters at resturants.

Jesus. I could never ignore another human being, no matter how shitty I was feeling.
But then, I'm very much the opposite of you I think. No fan of small talk, but I'll talk the ears off a human and the legs off a donkey, given the opportunity.
I fucking LOVE interacting with 96% of humans.

i just dont really do small talk anymore if possible. If it seems worth it, ill elevate it to medium talk right away if someone initiates small talk because its more intetesting and we might actually gain something from the interaction rather than bullshitting each other. I'm getting better at not bullshitting people, as in, pretenting to speak on their level, avoid swearing or using dirty language. I'm working on just speaking like regular old me, instead of this polite bullshitter approach to conversation with complete strangers.
