I think socialising skills can be lost quite easily after a period of isolation, but hopefully they can also be picked up again.

I agree. I wouldnā€™t, and didnā€™t, stare back and say nothing. I had cancer some years ago. Itā€™s om my forehead and still healing up. But yes, people stare. Usually I wear a baseball cap that hides it.

Iā€™ve never thought about it, probably an old fogey :grin:

Now Iā€™m starting to worry!:thinking: :grin:

Well, Iā€™m one of those who would appraise your bum and give an honest answer to your question: ā€˜Does my bum look in this?ā€™.
How much I knew you would, of course, depend on if I gave the answer with both barrels or more tactfully.

As a child I was very shy. Over the years Iā€™ve met kids who grew up near me and some said they thought I was a snob 'cos I either walked past them or didnā€™t say hello. I was just too shy.
I still have that shyness sometimes and even still blush or want the ground to open up beneath me.
Itā€™s a bugga and rather stupid when one reaches old age :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

But in general I would say I just come across as ā€¦ (shrugs shoulders) ok I guess,

Do you ever wonder how you come across to others?

Would they tell you to your face what they really think? and if they donā€™t like you do you really care?

No, that would be pointless I believe. Ask three people what they think of you and you would probably get three different answers. We are all similar but very different according to the people we are and how we assess others. Also we seldom see ourselves as others do. If others donā€™t accept us as we are then thatā€™s their problem, we can only genuinely be the people we actually are.

I think Iā€™d think I was more friendly and sociable than I really am and then not understand why a deeper friendship didnā€™t happen. I get that a lot

Itā€™s because Iā€™m extrovert on the outside and an introvert on the inside!

Does that mean you ā€˜put on a frontā€™, many people do. If that is the case then you are not being the person you genuinely and really are. Maybe others see through that ā€˜frontā€™?

My friends tell me they love me and I love them
I am a good listener and will help and support if its needed
I am kind and considerate
But I do need head space and quiet days to recharge my batteries and spend time alone

I can tell what kind of woman you are Susan, you are a beautiful soul with a really good heart. Itā€™s amazing how we can tell just from written words.

You are the type of person I would be proud to call my friend, I find you very calming.

No need to consider none of this stuff, when on a quick Bike, self preservation is the only consideration, folks can consider you, when they learn of your demise, on the LOCAL Paper. :smiley: :biking_man:

I canā€™t recall giving it any serious thought Mups, the way it is with me is I do me best be a decent fella and how folks react to that is up to them.

Iā€™m a good listener and get along fine with most people I mix with socially, but most importantly I get along great with my family, the missus has put up with me for 56 years so I must be doing something right. :wink: :smiley:

I have never got on well with humans so do not have friends and rarely have.
I am too old to give damn now. :smiley:
