H and I are such opposites

[Bernadine]

Mostly socially. We just ran to Lowes and Target. He goes out of his way to say hi to everyone he knows, and of course, we ran into like 5 people.

I, otoh, go out of my way to avoid talking to people, lol. I might be a jerk.

[Aloe Vera]

It's the same for us. My H knows a ton of people and is very active in the community so he is constantly talking to people. I avoid people because I don't like to chit chat with people I barely know.
We often have this discussion at home:
me: Oh, I spotted So and So while I was running errands.
H: did you say Hi to them? Did you talk to them?
Me: no! No time for that.

This is me and MH too. We've been regulars at the brewery down the street from our house since the day they opened, and I always liked that we knew the bartenders well, but didn't really interact with any other customers. Now, thanks to MH and his chatty Cathy ways, we can't go there on a random Tuesday afternoon without having to sit and talk to at least 6 other people. We even ended up going to a beer festival out of state last weekend with a group of 24 people from the damn bar. It was fun, but OMG, being sober with that group for two days was a test of patience!

Us too.

My husband is so friendly that he also makes friends with people everywhere we go. Like our neighbors on vacation. I cringe because I want to relax and not make nicey nice with strangers when we are on vacation.

But his personality is why I adore him too.

My H and I are the same. He runs into someone he knows literally every time we go out. It's annoying as all get out to me. He's always trying to introduce me to them as I'm trying to dip into the next aisle without being noticed.

This is my H also. Sometimes it benefits me though. I joke with him that the only reason I married him is to be the one in the relationship who handles all phone calls and in person communications. I handle any texts, emails or online communications.

[liverandonions]

It's opposite for us. I grew up here so i see people I know all the time. I also like making small talk...my husband does not.

[Deleted]

Same here. He knows everyone it seems. I am much quieter.

[eb777888]

Me too! H is the same as your H and it bugs me! He has to talk to everyone while I'm like "do not attract any attention to yourself". We are total opposites.

[blondemoment123]

I hide too. H will chat away. It drives me crazy, especially when it's supposed to be a quick errand.

[mcmel]

Yessss omg. H and I have PRACTICED keeping his feet moving when he sees someone he knows. I swear to god he will see someone that waited on his table 10 years ago, walks right up to them, and plants his fucking feet for the next 15 minutes.

IT'S OKAY TO WALK AND WAVE, H! Keep those feet moving!!!!!

[lexxasaurus]

We're both introverts but I'm a social introvert so I'm definitely the more chatty one. My problem is every time I go out, people want to compliment my hair.. and then ask where I got it done.. and then ask if I'm a beautician when they learn I do it myself, and on and on. Poor B just stands there looking uncomfortable while I try to shut it down, lol.

[wanderlustmom]

So funny! DH is a high introvert and I'm a high extrovert. Total opposites. I want to talk to everyone and he just wants to talk to me

[mekia]

That's us too sometimes. Sometimes if we see deaf people who we don't want to say hi to, we quickly tell each other to stop signing so they'd not recognize us, lol.

Deaf people usually like to come up to any other deaf people and start chatting even though we may not know each other.

ETA: I'm not an introvert, but I may seem like one because I'm deaf. I can't just go up to anyone and start chatting. There have been times I wished I could! Probably a good thing that I can't

[sawyerthedestroyer]

My H is exactly the same. And he says hi to strangers. It's so weird.
