I met really weird people in school this semester. There's this guy in my group who is just.. social-phobia/lack social interaction/plain dumb. There are 5 of us in the group, and I am the only one from the Sch of Social Sciences. I dunno where the rest come from. Never mind, cuz i can get along quite OK with one of the girls. I don't know the other 3 members, so during break time, he was standing next to me while waiting for the rest to collect their food.
We stood side by side in silence for about 10 seconds, staring straight ahead. And I thought it was pretty stupid, cuz he's gonna be my groupmate, so might as well get to know him rather than stand there in silence, which was becoming increasingly uncomfortable.
Me: So, what's your name? ( Smiles)
Guy: XXXXX. ( Stares ahead at the millions of air molecules in front of him.)
Me: ( Waits a few seconds for him to introduce himself more, or simply, ask back what is my name which is standard protocol, but apparently nothing happens.) Oh.. ok, so... are you in the same school of XXX as the rest of the group?
Guy: Yeah. ( stares ahead, maybe the air molecules were doing fascinating stuff like dancing cha-cha in front of his eyes or something)
Me: ......
What a strange person. sian, this type of groupmate.
