Socially Inadequate ??????


Last night, after a pretty good workout and a fantastic warm shower, as I was using a fluffy towel all over me I had a thought, well one thought that I still have in mind now.
I was in a room full of naked men, some of them being openly gay and looking at other males’ attribute, I was feeling less uneasy that when I am in a room full of clothed people!
Is it because I know I wouldn’t talk to any of the guys or just because I am less body shy that socially inadequate? The expression is now in the air.
I got to think about this one as it really summarizes one thing I am wondering about now:
Am I socially inadequate?
When it comes to writing and expressing myself to people I know or sort of know, I have no problem communicating. But if, like it happens in real life all the time, I meet someone I have never seen before I sort of tend not to get in contact and most probably act as if I am not friendly at all. For example, I have managed in the near past to walk out of a club where I went on my own and stayed for four hours without talking to anyone! And without having anyone trying to talk to me either!
On my way back home, in the cab, I asked myself:
Dude, are you socially inadequate or what? Or what?

It is rather funny as, during dinners, I am not the one in the corner just listening to the others. I usually am quiet and i usually get started when one thing triggers me. Then, I do not stop if i enjoy the crowd.
Isn't it being socially adequate?

But then again, i wouldn't talk to someone if i haven't been introduced.
Picture this: I could go to a BBQ and not talk to anyone if i haven't been introduced!
Isn't it being socially inadequate?

Or what?

Eeeeer, can't help you much on that one, buddy, since that would mean to put words on my way to behave too... Unless... you only wanted to point out MY behaviours !! (see, that's rather difficult to live with when you're also paranoid...)

You're not socially inadequate in any way. You're just being a selective socialist like mua! =D And I'm proud to be one, too. Nothing wrong with that, though.

Nah, not socially inadequate. You're just being you. People that talk and talk and need to be the centre of attention in any scenario they are in get really boring and tiring.

Stay the way you are!

We are selective, that's all. But stayed in a bar for four hours without being social to anyone..?! I wonder how interesting that bar is....
