I have no interest in the lives of people I dont know. I don't care about making 'small talk' with a random person I just met and I can't ever get past a certain level with coworkers. I don't open up and keep conversation to a minimum. It's not that I'm rude, it's just that I honestly could care less about what someone that I barely know has to say about the weather today or whatever else they feel like saying to me. Idk if it's that I'm shy and never know what to say or If it's just like I never feel like talking to people or getting to know them cause I just don't care. If I see someone that i feel is similar to me then I will enjoy talking to them but other than that I will never go out of my way to make conversation with or get to know someone because it's just not worth my time! Is it normal?

    You obviously care enough to make a story about it even when you say its not "worth your time".

    1 part shyness + 1 part arrogance = anti-social behaviour.

    A lot of people struggle when dealing with people outside of their usually groups. You are normal, but that doesn't mean it's healthy or desirable.

    You need to ask yourself WHY you behave this way. What was it in your life that has shaped you into believing the things you believe about meeting new people? Do your parents make new friends or go out and do adventurous things in their community? Have you had the same friends for most of your life or have you ever been forced to make new ones? Have you led an isolated life? Have you ever traveled to other countries?

    Not everyone you meet is going to be friend material or even have an interesting life-story, so you're off the hook as far as that goes. However, the truth is: you're missing out on a lot of interesting shit by assuming that other people don't have anything worthwhile to share with you.

    Start working on your conversation skills, it could be you that is boring the crap out of everyone else and you don't even know it.
