I guess I have pretty average social skills. I'm not too shy, or afraid of talking in front of people, although I'm pretty quiet most of the time. I just don't want come across as too talkative because I know a couple people who are socially very dominating and loud. Now, that's not that bad per se, but the more you talk, the more shit comes out of yr mouth.
One of those people is a living example of that and I want avoid the risk of giving that impression. Behavior like that is an easy way to make me hate people.
I guess I'd be more social if I were involved in bigger social circles and were generally more interested in other people. Right now though I'm mostly alone since the majority of the people I hung out with until last spring have moved out of the town by now.
Also, the finnish culture doesn't really encourage engaging in small talk.
