2. Socially awkward, suspicious types.
Don't want to interact with someone who isn't on their "friends' list" or on their friends' friends' list. Every social interaction has to be vetted so they feel safe, because outsiders and new experiences scare them. What's worse--and probably as a result--they have little in way of social skills. They interact in person like shy children: with short statements, while avoiding eye contact and "hiding behind an adult's leg."
I think you definitely nailed it on the head here. I often feel like I'm talking to children when I approach. It's a tough situation to be in. I mean, I want to talk to them like an adult but it feels like I HAVE to belittle them with childish nonsense. I feel like I'm insulting theirintelligence. I can never seem to get over this.
