Popular Post georgegeorgia Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) I guess you can describe me as a introvert, i dont like to be around people much,even in my work i choose to sit in the park and eat my dinner instead of the work mealroom. i hate crowds and crowded places,i think its anxiety ,i avoid the walking street in pattaya at nights when i was there . Last night i walked with a friend in Sydney thru the city,there was no threat but i just felt uneasy with crowds walking past me. My late dad was opposite,he was so popular at work he was the union rep and safety rep etc,he could walk into any room full of strangers and 10 minutes later have friends. I wish i could be like him. I dont like getting into crowded buses etc or crowdded bars ,i think im what you call hypervigilant ,im aware of mysurroundings at all times,whose up ahead ,etc i walk facing the oncoming traffic in places like pattaya I feel threatened by drunken louts once on walking street i never went there after 6pm again i think there is more people like me however in the younger generation after this covid where i get the feeling people are uneasy in lifts etc. My friend shes a filipino luvs talking to people even strangers and makes small talk,i cant do that Edited March 12, 2022 by georgegeorgia 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CharlieH Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 Similar, don't like crowded places at all, can't wait to get out of there. As I got older I like people less and less and generally avoid them where possible. Never been one for bars clubs etc in later life, don't drink so no appeal. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 473geo Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 I am very people tolerant except those who think they can extract the urine, not speaking about joking around that's ok. Those that try to dump on me, be it work related or personal interaction get put straight quickly ???? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegeorgia Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) The thing is how do you know when its a problem? my current girlfriend 34yo filipino here in australia purposely took me out last night around 11pm here in sydney to get me used to it,because she says when i retire to Asia wherever that may be then we will encounter large crowds. The people i saw though were mostly teenagers shouting out,being loud etc,there was no threats etc just loud screaming girls etc walking between nightcllubs But i had to keep moving her out of the way,Chinatown in Sydney was very busy last night,people walking towards you with phones stuck to their ears not moving etc ,I know i have to get used to people because we are travelling this year but i may have to see a psychologist Edited March 12, 2022 by georgegeorgia 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sirineou Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 I am fascinated by people all people even those I don't like. I want to talk to all of them and show then how much more superior I am. But their puny minds often don't get it, which confirms my suspicions about then, and reenforces my superiority complex. ???? 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 Don't like crowds anymore. Used to love them when I was younger. However, I like people. I tend to show most people a degree of respect. However, I tend not to suffer fools, and can be very direct, when it is called for. People find it very hard to take me for a ride. I have learned. Trust has to be earned. I am far less tolerant of fools, than I used to be. And I have also learned that those who have alot to say, and talk alot, usually do not have alot of substance.

When my bosses at work requested data I had not been asked to prepare usual response was by close of play tomorrow ???? even if I had anticipated and the work was completed. Too many people put themselves under pressure perhaps leading to mistakes when the people above, or customers have not allowed for reasonable timeframes. Rarely did I receive any response other than ok and my work went out checked and accurate ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post georgegeorgia Posted March 12, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) I would be interested to hear from any opposite here who are extroverts ? who feels ok to walk from one end of Walking Street Pattaya at 2am on a weekend night and feels not hyper vigilant ? who can walk into a bar full of strangers and come out with friends ? who can walk into a crowded pub?

Popular Post grain Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 I'm the only farang in this village, so I spend my time alone or with my tirak. I drink alone and I'm happy about that...like the song goes...I don't need nobody else. I have some online friends I chat with but rarely am I in the company of others. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dmaxdan Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 I don't really need lots people in my life. And I must admit I do like my own personal space. I have always been more than comfortable within my own thoughts which is just as well as I spend an awful lot of time with my Thai inlaws who I can't really talk to. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post timendres Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 Love my time in solitude, but always happy to integrate. Enjoy going to the Isaan bar and getting rowdy with the group. Enjoy crowded spaces. I just enjoy watching people and interacting with them. However, if I do not get my solitude, I will eventually go nuts. The older I get, the more solitude I prefer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will B Good Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 You could be describing me. I am becoming more agoraphobic with age and have to battle against. I am also what is known as a 'masked introvert'. I can easily convince people I am a happy go lucky extrovert and I know I do behave like one for short periods of time at functions, parties etc......no idea why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hummin Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Im okay with crowded places, prefer quiet if possible, but I can also enjoy naightclubs. What I really do not like is neighbours, doesnt matter if there is next door house or appartment, there is always something that disturbs me, so thats why I always live as far away as possible. If we by accident booked a noisy hotel, I move, and take the loss by booking a new one after a few days, or no hope it will be better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
