Your pseudo-skills?

[Poppy98]

What workaround skills have you developed to navigate socially?

 

[Poppy98]

I've realized that I do these

Timing:
-ask: at a random time ask at what point they need to go or if it would be better for them if you waited (when that's a workable option)


Communication:
-brevity
----in writing: summarize, format to summarize, delete redundant language
-dominance stuff
-------asserting boundaries

Sit on the back porch and pet their dogs.

And if the party host says not to give the dogs any people food, I double down on making sure, secretly, that the dogs get a little bit of the party food.

I navigate socially by working around to where there are no people.

I am good at asking people about themselves. Once they start talking it’s easy to ask questions and feign interest. This works well. People think i’m a great conversationalist. That is until I get bored and drop in clangers to amuse myself! I usually can resist, If it’s a stranger not so much.

How are you defining 'clanger'?

I navigate socially by working around to where there are no people.

That's my approach as well. When there are still people to deal with, I am a polite NPC (non playing character). I answer questions, open doors, pick up objects they drop, etc. But I don't initiate interaction.
