your worst social habit

what's your worst social habit

was thinking this today, i actually think about it so much because mine happens to me EVERY SINGLE DAY.

when people say 'how are you' i always always always reply 'good thanks'

and never ask them how they are, it completely messes up the flow and sometimes they ask again or they just say good and nobody knows what to say oh god it's terrible

have to try stop myself with that one

[Shar]

I always say good thanks automatically without thinking about it and just kill the conversation like that sometimes

[Kyle]

lol I do that a lot too but I wouldn't say it's a bad habit, I just like to end the conversation before it begins with somebody I don't like. If somebody I am actually interested in listening to asks how I am then I will ask how they are, if I don't feel like talking I'll just say good and carry on my merry way. Mostly manifests as them: "Alright?" me: "Alright." *walks off* lol. You know what else is really annoying though? When they do it WHEN THEY'RE WALKING PAST ME. I AM WALKING TO MY DESTINATION DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS AND MAKE ME STOP TO TALK TO YOU.

mine is probably not doing menial socialisation enough. just sitting around and talking when there are a lot of people about and stuff... much prefer my own company. I'm just an unsociable git lately I guess. oops

[Yawn]

how r u is such a boring thing to say anyway i h8 it

-

OMG WHEN PPL SAY "U ALRIGHT" I NEVER KNOW IF THEY ARE ASKING HOW R U OR SAYING HI ITS SO AWKWARD

[Shar]

Ha I do that when I bump into people in the streets. If I know that they haven't seen me I try and walk the opposite direction or something. Especially when I'm in the shopping centre and I see people that I know and really don't want to talk to. I am awful. I hate small talk though.

When i visit a friend of mine at his/her house, i always end up saying "no, thank you" whenever they offering me a drink or a meal. I know they're trying to be nice and all, make the guest feels comfortable at their place. Should have responded "yes, please", because i always end up joining them having a drink or two. :D

[FlyingJesus]

I think my worst is when I shout at people for not being HC

Glad that you never shouted at me.

[Storking]

mine is the same as most people's here! "alright?" "yeaaah". I never ask people how they are back. :rolleyes_

and a lot of the times when someone tells me a specific detail of their life (and I really couldn't care less), I end up not knowing what to say so I just "oh yeaa?" or "coooooool". they're probably trying to start a good conversation but I don't care if your great aunty has just bought a dog and it is cute orrrr if you've just put a deposit on a house. What am I meant to say to that!!

[Zak]

Yeh it's standard at work. "You Alright?", "Yes thanks are you?", "Yes thank you".. I hate that :P

[Derrener]

ermm mine is just saying yes to people to whatever they say :l

o and How are you?
- Good thanks

i do tht too

[-:Undertaker:-]

Probably banter/taking the piss when some people can't handle it and get offended.

But hey.

[Sian]

i either cut the conversation short, as i dont know what to say, orrrr I speak way too much about random **** no-one cares about.

There is very rarely a happy medium.

[Inseriousity.]

I just naturally avoid eye contact cos I've always had this thing where I can read faces really well (or maybe I'm actually really rubbish and making it up) but people think I'm not interested in what they're saying. Conversation killer lol

That or I'm the guy who sits in the corner at parties tapping their foot along with the music.

[Sho]

Only thing I can think of really is, since I don't find silences awkward, I sometimes sit there thinking "oh it's quiet am I meant to say something?" because I can tell that they feel awkward but I have no idea what to say so we're both just sat there looking at each other like err lmao

[Futz]

after talking to the person at the post office while exchanging money to euros and mentioning i'm going on holiday

*walking out of post office*

them: "Have a nice time on holiday"
me: "thanks, you too"

this happens too much

I'll reply with a you too to the wrong phrases

[Yawn]

YES I SAY U TOO WHEN I SHOULDNT OH GOD

[Absently]

i always do that :( or even if i ask someone how are they and they don't ask me how i am ill go "yeah im great too thanks" without even realising. it's just one of those natural conversation things.

[Eric]

Sometimes i chip in before they get to finish

[IzzyUhh]

omg ive done this before
I usually do it when people say like, 'Are you okay' and I'll just say yeah thanks
Happend to me the other day and somebody asked if i was fine and i said ye
then realised i should have asked them how they were too so i asked them but then they told me their whole day
like they only asked me how i am so i could ask them

[Matt]

At work because I sold lotto i'd get into a bad habit of saying goodluck to people after i finish serving them. So some people would only buy cigaretts and i'd turn round after handing them their change and say goodluck. It was so awkaward and i'd get the most weirdest looks :(

[The Don]

If someone takes too long to finish what they're saying i'll impulsively try and finish it for them, like if they take too long to convey their point. I need to stop it.

I HATE when people do that!!! my mum n scott are like 'what?' when im trying to finish so i just refuse to finish then they're like 'tell me' ... give me a chance to!

idk dk what mine is but im sure i have a few ive not realised :/ not gonna overthink tho got enough anxiety as it is. maybe when i scoff at things people say lol

I feel bad for doing it! It's a terrible habit lmao. I only do it when they take an excessively long time though, like 5 seconds or more.

[Yawn]

lol on first dates there was a man with a rly bad stutter and this LOUD MOUTH pretentious woman he was on a date with kept finishing his sentences for him

[kitten]

i say um too much. without even realising

[Becca]

when i'm trying to explain something sometimes i get a really bad stutter but when i'm at work it doesn't show thank GOD
my friend at work always does though so if i am free i come over like awh he means "...." and i always feel bad after

[Gina]

i zone out when people speak to me but i feel rude saying oh whoops sorry i didnt catch that so i just pretend i understood everything
i just get really fed up and see like a fly and then i'll follow the fly round then all of a sudden
GINAAA GINANAAA GNAAA????? hi yes im here yeh ikr
alalala does that count

[StevenWinehouse]

I tend to finish people's sentences. Which is really cool cause I'm right 99.99% of the time, but it does get annoying.

[God]

When someone asks how r u, i always say "Gud n' u?" like rlly fast and idk it ***** me up so :L

[geo]

"how are you" "good thanks" slowly getting out of this habit though
and saying "you too" when not appropriate. like yesterday my friend was saying have a nice weekend to our friend, and i wanted to say it to her too but not repeat it, so i said "you too" to her?? she said nothing to me????
ummm i'm not sure if this is my fault but i've been told i look to the left of people, so i don't really give direct eye contact. problem is i never knew i was doing this

[Brad]

If I'm comfortable with that person, I'll mock them, like hard core. Agreeing with then perfusely. And then when they look at me different as if I just interrupted them or something, I'll smile and be like, "you had it coming"

I get a laugh out of some people, sometimes.

[Liva]

My worst social habit is having social anxiety, so I feel uncomfortable talking to people and I don't feel able to carry on the conversation.

I hate when you're meeting up with a friend and you say to meet at X point. You're both on your way and you can both see each other walking to X but you don't know if to carry on walking to X or to stop and wait for them to get to you. It's also awkward in the same situation with looking at them, if you look at them its like wth are you staring at me for and if you don't you look awkward. I never know what to do with my eyes in these situations and then my arms go funny and I end up flinging them around to compensate for the fact it feels like they're not moving because I all of a sudden to conscious of them :s strange.

[lRhyss]

I sometimes get really weird in shops and have to give my friends money and make them buy food/items for me because I don't want to deal with people
