    The point is that you eventually share personal information about youself. Most people, when they meet, do have superficial conversations to start with, and then gradually build deeper friendships from there.

    I'd understand your last paragraph if we were maybe talking about someone the poster had been trying to get to know for six months, and he/she was still making off comments about the weather. But I highly doubt that's the case here. And also, there is a difference between antisocial behavior, and someone not feeling chatty.

    There is a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 15 years, as indicated by three (or more) of the following:
    1. failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest
    2. deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
    3. impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
    4. irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
    5. reckless disregard for safety of self or others
    6. consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations
    7. lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another
    Either way, it's no real big deal to me. I just didn't like the fact that the original post implied that if you don't start off a conversation in some particular way, you somehow lack depth. Coming from a self-proclaimed "open-minded" person, that seemed a little closed-minded.

    If the answer starts with the word "like", get the fuck outta there.

    My last comment was in regards to the statement about Antisocial behavoir. Yes, there is a difference between being antisocial, and having a bad day (which I believe I explained in both of my posts on this thread so far). I also claimed that shyness can play a factor as well.

    Yes, superficial conversation is normally how individual's begin speaking to one another. After a period of time, more information is typically extended by both parties, thus, a friendship begins to develop.

    Granted, not everyone is going to click and become the best of friends, but I do agree with both the original poster and Nightmarehippie in regards to the fact that many people, nowadays, seem to be very superficial towards one another, based on everything from social status to physical appearance. The original thread of this post seems to elude to that very fact. She may be experiencing judgement from others (based on several factors).

    So if that is "what I implied", then I must only be 10 years old...:rolleyes:
    Things take time and that is exactly what I imlpied.
    Exactly, and yes there are personality disorders, but the o.p. was saying that no one has depth just because they don't get into deep conversations with her.

    So you really think that I think you are specifically talking about me? You must be nuts. [​IMG]
    When people disagree with you they are "hostile"? On the internet? :D I am in no way hostile, I am simply defending my opinion, just like you are. Are you hostile or are you just "right" and I am "wrong"? ;)?

    daisymae,

    hostile as not having a conversation without sarcasm, accusations, or calling the listener nuts...? you don't need muscle to defend a position.

    neither of us are right and wrong since i don't believe this discussion
    even had the chance to come to a decent conviction.

    anyway, i'm outta here....
    take it easy =)
