Talking to new people

2:47

Do you feel embarrassed at all, or are you completely fine with that?

2:47

I think it depends.

2:49

I think if you find a topic quite quickly that you have in common,

2:56

that avoids embarrassment.

2:58

But it's when you... you meet someone new,

3:02

you don't know them very well, obviously,

3:03

because they're new, and you don't know

3:05

what they like or don't like, or

3:07

what they think is rude or not rude.

3:10

But if you can figure that out quite quickly, it's... yeah, it's usually OK.

3:17

Do you usually feel quite embarrassed then?

3:20

Sometimes. Like you said, it depends.

3:22

If you find something that you have in common and you can talk about that,

3:28

but sometimes you don't find something in common,

3:31

and then it's really, I don't know,

3:33

embarrassing, I suppose.

3:35

I feel strange just thinking about it.

3:39

You obviously... you like parties, you like socialising.

3:43

But do you like spending time alone?

3:46

I get more energy from spending time alone and relaxing

3:50

and not talking to anyone.

3:53

I often get what I call social burnout, which means you just get exhausted

3:58

from spending too much time with others. How about you?

4:03

Well, yeah.

4:05

Spending time alone is also important.

4:08

And I like to do that, but not so much.

4:14

Not as much as maybe spending time with people,
