Raise your hand if you've had it up to here (I'm not sure where "here" is exactly) with acquaintances, friends of friends, co-workers, classmates, and well, you name it who go on and on about their active social lives. While you sit there quietly (of course) with nothing to add to the conversation.
Hey everyone let's talk about our boyfriends or better yet all of our exes and how there's "plenty of fish in the sea." Cut to 1229 standing there praying they don't call upon her to add anything.
I can't claim to hate men, because I know for a fact they're not all jerks. I can't bring up any "experience" type story, I can't talk about my fantastic (or you know real) boyfriend because he doesn't exist. I can't do anything but hope the conversation ends quickly.
I know most of you get what I'm saying. I just needed to rant and know I'm not alone.

Oh yeah, I definitely know what your talking about. For me its mostly when people start talking about their social lives. I like hearing what people are doing with their lives, but I always get a little anxious when they start talking about all their plans for the weekend (parties, clubs, dancing, drinking, etc etc) inevitably someone will turn to me and this will happen: Work friend: "So Karen, what are you up to this weekend?" Me:" ooohhh, you know... the usual.... I'm... ah, Oh! look at the time, I've got to go not have a life now. See you later!" So no, your not alone

yeah I hate it because not once do they ever invite you to anything. I get invited to things a lot of the time, the worst for me is my shyness making it impossible for me to say yes i'll go. I hate that part of myself. I know I should go and socialize, but the thought of being out with all those people around makes me cringe. So I always say no, or make up some excuse.

Thanks. I feel so much better after my little rant. Normally, social chatter doesn't bother me much, but it was just day after day of this stuff all week.
I'm guilty of that as well. The thing is, I think part of me doesn't go because of the shyness and the other part of me doesn't go because I have no interest in socializing with these groups of people that usually extend the invitation.
