Actually not how social interaction works.

Are they comfortable with that?

Are they a captive audience while you are making them uncomfortable for reasons out of their control?

You saying I’ll be how I want totally disregards that the other person is meeting you on an agreed social interaction level but you are disrespecting that, in this case purposefully. There is PLENTY of room to be yourself.

Im not being disrespectful by being myself. Pretty interesting that I'm being told how to socialize considering I've learned the social skills to have quite a large group of loving friends. My quirky excitable self is what has attracted such wonderful people in my life. Thanks for the advice, but if it ain't broken I ain't fixing it.

Okie dokie.

Notice I never once said don’t be yourself.

Also loving friends know you well, right? Not quite what we were talking about.

Get real.
