I forgot one
My ex when talking with my friends - it's a case of if you don't have anything nice to say don"t say anything at all, not that she ever extended me that courtesy

I totally agree with you on this one. I have the type of friends who completely bash my ex girlfriends after a breakup and expect me to laugh along and accept. It's irksome.artanis_neravar said:
Conversations about me that do not involve what a horrible person I am make me horribly uncomfortable.
I can handle pretty much anything else. Rape, incest, whatever. But as soon as the conversation shifts to anything even mildly positive about me, everything just feels wrong forever. Like I have just entered into the Twilight Zone.

My best friend still talks to my ex, so when he asks about it what am I supposed to say? She's a ***** who dumped me because I "couldn't spoiler her the way she deserves". It's even worse because I accidentally opened a message between them on facebook (My computer is always logged on to my facebook, but when he was using my comp he logged in and never logged out) and she claimed that I "made her pay for our valentines date" when what really happened was I told her that I had no money (I was a sophomore in college at the time with no job, as an engineer I had very little free time for a steady job) and offered to cook her dinner but she insisted on going out so she had to pay.BigEvilTurtle said:
Ridiculous. I mean, it's not like you can just ask your best friend to stop talking to them, but your best friend should have the common courtesy to stop.artanis_neravar said:
Yeah there are times where I wonder if he is really a friend or just to polite to say go away, then i remember that I am the best man at his wedding, and he has had me come stay with him for a week on two separate occasions. So I'm all set there....I think. But they were kind of friends before i started dating her (he introduced us) and she is kind of friends with his fiance.BigEvilTurtle said:
Also thank you for providing an opportunity to vent that I haven't had an outlet in almost a year now

I've been thinking for a while, and I honestly can't think of a subject that irks me. Hell, I'll even go into what turns me on if i'm asked by a complete stranger. I just don't get bothered by anything.
Closest is talking about my love life, but I seem to be fine with that lately too.

I can listen to people talk about anything, until it's directed at me, or I am asked a question that I have to answer immediately without thinking about it. One can blurt out some pretty stupid things when caught off-guard. I can feel my hands getting clammy and the nervousness starts welling up in my gut - just hoping that no one will ask me anything. I always end up excusing myself to the bathroom or something that involves me leaving the immediate area quickly. I'm such a wuss. lol
Religion, if I'm with someone I don't know well. I'm fairly comfortable talking with my friends about religion, fortunately. I also dislike talking about politics, because I know where I stand with current political issues, and I find it difficult to accept opposing views.
There are just some types of people I hate talking to period. I did some training for work at the begining of the year and there was another girl training with me, about four years younger. She was bubbly and nice, but was terrible at picking up on cues from other people, and by the end of the training period I just wanted to be rid of her. At one point she was talking about how much she loved sales and shopping, and I mentioned that I didn't bother with clothing sales much, which surprised and horrified her. She went on to casually insult people who don't care much about clothing, who don't like shopping, don't accessorise... and so on. I'm one of those people, but clearly she didn't pick that up, or she just didn't care.
Conversations like that, where people converse AT people instead of with them, annoy me the most.

I'm meh on religion and politics. I don't really like talking about them, but I wont clam up or walk away from a conversation about those topics so long as they're not trying to convert me or forcibly change my stance on a political issue (not that I keep up on a lot anyway).
The big ones for me are sex and relationship related issues. Due to some serious mental issues I was nearly socially crippled throughout my entire adolescence, so I made few real friends and had no dating experiences (don't get me wrong, I had tried to fix this, but hearing "no" as a response so many times teared down most of what little confidence I had). Whenever people ask me about or else talk about their own relationships I usually get a bit depressed and don't continue with the conversation. This take on relationships leads into my reluctance to talk about anything sex related, but that's not the only reason. My parents are partially to blame for this as they went out of their way to avoid sex/sexuality related topics long before they showed up. They even went through the efforts of placing many complicated and encrypted blocks/filters on the only computer in the house and our cable TV channels, they even fucking went to the trouble of writing to my schools to try to get me out of the class for the days they had sex-ed (although they did freak out when their attempt didn't work with my high-school). It's only really because of college life that I've been able to get out of my shell a bit on the issue if just from the shear over-use of the subject. That said, I'll still get incredibly red and quiet if the conversation topic heads that way.

This. A thousand times this. There's one girl who persists on asking about my sex-life which she has no right to know about. It gotten to the point where I had to yell at her about how it's none of her business and to leave me alone because she was so persistent.Gitty101 said:I hate talking about my love life to my friends. I always try to change the topic but they are a persistant bunchI just believe it's none of their business and they should accept that ^^
