People with no depth

i like ice cream. right now im eating chocolate with peanut butter.

 

Thanks for your permission to keep posting in a public internet forum.

Just because a person doesn't want to be your best friend does not mean there is something wrong with them.
I don't hand out personal details of my life, either, especially if there's an annoying person asking for them.
Are you an annoying person? Or do you use people's secrets for gossip? You may have a reputation that precedes you.

 

No, no I'm not asking everyone to be my best friend. I just like to get along with people that's all and I do give people their space. Like I said I'm not an in yer face person. I don't have a reputation for gossiping and spreading nasty rumours about people that aren't true. Yes, I talk about others - usually on a nice note but that's human nature. Occasionally I might have a moan if someone is being a pain in the ass, but who doesn't.

 

You shouldn't assume that people are anti-social just because they don't pour out their heart the moment they talk to you.

And speaking of depth, I hate it when I end up getting trapped in conversation with people who try to be deep, and waste 30 minutes of your life just rambling on about absolutely nothing at all. IMHO, that's much worse than a non-chatty person.

So people, if you ever come across someone who tries to bring up god or spirituality (or any other "deep" subjects) in your very first conversation with him/her, RUN!!!

 

I think some people are really that stupid and have no sense of the inner workings of the mind. they cant even ponder what it means to exist.

 

Moonshyne,


You obviously didn't read my post and therefore didn't quite get my point. Not asking people to pour out their true feelings the milli second I first meet them. You people obviously don't know what I'm quite getting at. I made the same post on another website and people know where I'm coming, that I'm not some desperate wants to be EVERYONE'S buddy and see them every milli second of the day, night, 365 days a year. I know the meaning of space and getting to know people in time. All I'm saying is SOME people have no depth to them.

Either you people don't understand which is most likely and some of you strike me as perhaps the very people I'm referring to, reading certain posts or you've been lucky enough to have not been around many ingnorant close-minded people before.

Whatever your missing my point...

 

I understand what you are trying to convey with your post. There are several factors which can contribute to the lack of conversation you find yourself experiencing. Some people are very introverted and do not portray their personalties well in a social setting. Others may not feel completely comfortable extending anymore information than sticking to a neutral topic, such as the weather. Eventually, you will find people who are willing to open themselves up for a friendship.

 

Yeah I agree with you actually. Life's too short for small talk. You could make small talk with a monkey- when I speak to people I like to get to know them. I think I'm partially like this because I've lived on 3 continents in 16 years and keep leaving people behind and meeting new ones, so I try to get to know them before I get up and leave again. When I leave people behind I want to think I made a difference in their lives and they'll remember me. And vice versa.

 

Depth is the minds way of trying to justify its existence to itself.

When you're mind can't come up with an answer, it points at everyone you can't relate to as shallow.

Depth is overrated.

You might end up discovering you don't relate to many people.

That doesn't mean theres a flaw in you or them, it just happens.

 

i dont

i think there is a medium level which is good. i dont associate with people that always start off the conversation with, "how is uni going, what subjects are you doing" for i will rip their eyeballs out of the sockets and play with the nerve endings. but i also hate people who pry and ask personal questions and expect deep answers. i dont reveal myself like that to anyone and so usually my reply to that is along the lines of, fuck off. i can usually tell within the first 10 minutes of meeting someone if i will like them or not, coz if they're not laughing at what im laughing at then f o r g e t it.

 

...No one has to tell you anything, be glad they are even talking to you..
I dont like it when people throw around the term anit-social just because they wont tell you deep dark secrets of their lives...

 

be glad they're even talking to you? wow, how's that for advice.

now i remember how much this forum sucks.... just reading this thread, this girl had a perfectly decent subject for discussion and you shat all over it with pointless responses.

april showers, i totally agree with you; i'm noticing the same problem more and more often lately, even with some of my closest friends, it's starting to become more obvious how much we 'talk about the weather' or equally pointless things. hey, i'll suggest the philosophy forums though for a good convo.

peace,
sophia

 

i believe I can state what I want and it just because you didnt like doesnt mean its wrong or any less right then what you state.. so please dont tell me that its horrible what I said cause it clearly wasnt...

 

*shat*

 

i didnt know my reponses were pointless... man, im going to go hang myself now...

 

There are good convos to be had everwhere. One doesn't always need to philosophize in order to have a good convo.

Just because you don't click with someone, does not mean they have a problem, as I stated before. You are just not their type. It's like with relationships......some people click and love each other, some people don't and walk away.

Shroom, why don't you just go fuck yourself with a wrr.

 

haha, what is a wrr...
I think thats my best rep yet..left by someone stupider than me, is that even possible..

and you are right daisy, some people click and some dont.. if i dont click with someone, I dont tell them anything at all.. if i do, then thats a completely different story...

 

no, totally agree with you guys... some people click and some don't.

however, i think the original poster was referring to something a little less obvious than 'why don't some people click?'....
that is, have we become more superficial these days, have we lost depth, why is it so difficult to find people who really feel?

you know what i mean? ...friends i've had forever i'm starting to notice these things with. i try and start a convo about a weird book i've been reading or some article i saw at uni and they have absolutely nothing to say, don't care in the least, and seem quite happy living rather humdrum lives with 'friends' like me that they haven't actually had a good conversation past "he said, she said" bullshit.

peace

 

LOL

you saying i'm not allowed to opine which posts i find pointless or otherwise?
haha
please do state what you want, no argument here.


peace
