Coelho, that thing your father said is one of the best sayings I've ever heard. I would only call people "inferior" or "superior" in a particular sense regarding conversation topics, but it's so true. Some of the most stupid, bitchy people I've met talk about nothing but other people, particularily citicizing them.


lol, you pretty much described exactly how conversations go for me too. The second a topic ends it's massive internal anxiety with my brain "oh shit! Think or something, think of something, think of something.....".

You know what though, screw it, I think you guys (bunnyc for one, thanks man:thumbsup are right and if I run out of small talk I will just whip out the big guns and talk about quantum physics, or philosophy, or biology, politics etc. These things have infinite potential and while I do notice people give me kind of a blank look when I bring them up, I guess I'll just separate the compatible from the not. After all, what's converstion without intellectual stimulation?
