was talking to m8s in pub and it's been pointed out to me that I tend to talk too technical, analytical, robotic, academic, textbook like to everyone, whether its familiar friends or some stranger I just met, and to a stranger it'll seem oddly wierd.


ie I was expressing / explaining to a lass I recently met with m8s how I was into her but questioned if she was into guys and likes me? but my m8s said I wrote it like some public survey upto her face.

or that I posted in conversations my thoughts on efficient routes to pick ppl up in my car, along with detailed diagrams.


there seems to be this subtle secret generic language on how to engage with strangers with good 1st impression, talk and gather hints subtly and reserved.

to me that sounds like learning another language. my mind doesn't work subtly, quietly, or hold back or pick sarcasm / jokes.


I've been so submerged into my own private cut-off world of science, documentation, coding/programming, planning, engineering, logical computer speak that I have almost zero social skills on how to talk "normal" without being all the james may aeronautical terms.


all of these points just further highlights my wierdness and my frustrated side just wanna say "may as well stfu"


and to think that I'd be getting a new job & house elsewhere, with new workm8, new complete strangers and my technical wierdness language would just stand out.

can see my future being quite a struggle to fit in.
