Hypnotic Regression

I cannot do small talk, I do not fake it, I avoid it. I have recently discovered this makes me come across to other people as aloof, uninterested, snobby and even weird.

I wonder if you can take classes? I could learn a lot from barbers / hairdressers (I dread that encounter) - how to become fascinated in the ever changing weather or other people's minor inconsequential crap. I need lessons in life....

Hmmmm maybe I am destined to be mentally stuck as an awkward, idealistic teenager (head phones back on) some Northern Irish goth pop.
