This is so me! I hate the little stupid conversations people want to have at work. It's always the same thing. "How was your weekend" "what did you do" so many personal questions. I prefer to keep personal life and business life completely separate. There's this woman at my job that must say hello to me EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME we pass in the hallway. SERIOUSLY! I've always been socially awkward too, I don't feel like I should have to sit there and smile like an A**hole to appear friendly enough to have people approach me. I'm a decent person, that's good enough. I'm not really interested in other people though, myself. People come up to me just chattering away, and if I don't know them, I just want to scream "Can you please shut up and go tell someone who cares?!?" It's annoying on both ends.

Anyway, just letting you know that I can COMPLETELY relate, you are not alone.
