Does anyone else get this, When I’m in a conversation, I don’t really want to talk to the person as much as I just want the point to be made and the conversation be over? Is that introv or a-social?

But people just keep talking and take forever to get to the point - it’s so annoying. I think I do it too when I want something... need to relook at my communication style.
Thanks D - probably right about a-social. Will try and get better.

I don’t think it’s either. You are just a driver. You don’t like detail and are straight to the point. Be careful with using antisocial. It’s generally taken way out of context. and I think it has to do your communication style.

I am the same way but it’s because I have so much to do I don’t have time for small talk.

It is a natural human behavior for both of you. Everyone has different goals when communicating - status, data, relationships or process.

Your reason and theirs are not in sync, but as a professional it is important that you recognize this and adapt to them. Most people do not recognize it, but interpersonal communications is one more skill to master.

I may not be either. Some people are boring

Focus on you. It's mentally draining having to think about what others think of you or if they even like you.

Focus on your growth, and the rest will follow.
