What makes you annoying?

Trey--

1) I mumble. It's pretty severe. It impedes conversation and just generally makes things tougher for people around me (and me too).

2) I have this nervous habit where I twirl a pen pretty much any time one is in my hand. (And I like to have a pen on me whenever I'm reading, which is very often, and most of the rest of the time I'm in class.) Anyway, I also suck at this activity, and am constantly dropping the pen. This annoys even me, but I can't stop. I'm thinking of buying mittens and wearing them everywhere until I break the habit.

3) Sometimes during a conversation I take these long pauses because I get obsessed with finding exactly the right word or phrase. Often this happens even long after I have a workable substitute in mind. So things just stop as I sit there with a dopey look on my face.

4) When I'm with someone or in a group, I often literally cannot generate preferences in many common situations. Thus the other person or people end up having to decide stuff. Unless they know me well, this also causes second-order annoyances of their worrying that they're imposing on me (and related obvious social stuff). But really I just cannot bring myself to care about the relevant stuff, and when I suspect that others might have significant preferences it causes some psychic trigger that makes even any slight preferences I would otherwise be able to muster totally unavailable.

5) My hearing is well below average. I have to ask people to repeat themselves often. Often I can easily figure out what they said within a second, but I can't keep myself from interjecting before that realization hits.

lol nate, solid stuff

i'm a loud talker - i can whisper, or i can basically yell, i have to actively think about talking at any volume in between

i'm a terrible listener - i have to ask people to repeat themselves multiple times just because i just stop paying attention halfway through. i also stop listening right after i've asked them to repeat themselves for the second or third time, i just can't help it.

i'm beyond horrible with names - for example, i study with a group of 5 or 6 people for a particular class i know one of their names, i couldn't even guess the names of the rest of them. if i need to remember a name (to find a girl on facebook, ldo) i have to write it down, otherwise i'll forget it.

Vyse, JokersAttack--

Thanks. Strange thing to be getting compliments about, but thanks.

I oftentimes have to ask someone to repeat themselves, or simply say "what?" when someone says something to me, even though I actually heard it. For some reason, I'm able to process what they said before they repeat themselves, but it doesn't stop me from this knee-jerk response of "what?"

I also hate the awkwardness of goodbyes, and will dart out of social situations without telling people that I'm leaving.
