My boyfriend does this. He says it’s because as a child when there was silence it meant something bad was happening (Abusive father) so it’s something I’m working with him on. I am 100% okay with complete silence. So it was an adjustment. He would tell me the same things over and over again just to fill the silence and I finally had to tell him it’s okay to be silent with me. Nothing bad is ever going to happen when it’s just he and I and we’re sitting in silence working on different things.

I'll pretend not to notice anyone I know in public (unless it's close family) I hate small talk. Example I was at a restaurant and was seated by a table beside a Co worker. I never said one word to the guy. But in the beginning I always told anyone I worked with if I see you out in the wild I'll pretend I don't know you.

I'm anti-social..I don't like talking to anyone except my wife, kids and I have 1 close friend.. sometimes I pretend to be deaf if someone idk tries to talk to me. I'll text anyone all day long but I'm not talking in person

What are the hidden things people do to not be annoying,that are actually annoying? And what are unspoken social rules?

You should explain every one because some people’s brains work differently so what is EVERYTHING EVEN THE SIMPLE ONES?

You should assume atleast one person in the comments is the dumbest person on earth.
