Anti-social...or just choosy about one's companions?

I think I'm in love.

Not with me, I hope. I've already got a good woman to play with.

I say love. I mean uncontrollable hate. Now. Where'd I put my barman's comb...?

I've got it. I had to deal with some Jehovah's Witlesses who wouldn't leave, and I had lent out my tire iron.

Such a great thread.
Instead of being called introverted how about: socially selective?
I spent so many years around people who could not talk about or get excited about or relate to writing and other passions of mine and I know I was starving my soul bit by bit.
I also think being exposed to certain people can kill my inspiration to write, and the quality of my writing whether or not I discuss it with them. Inspiration needs a certain environment to surface.
Don't get me wrong, I am entertained by extreme personalities and they will show up as my characters, in fact I love eavesdropping at airports and restaurants and bars.
But if wishes were horses I'd surround myself with creative, sensitive open minded people. Until that commune is founded I will stay home.
