The Self Starter

In the second of my irregular series looking at different idiosyncrasies that people have (1st edition here) we take a look at the Self Starter.

This person has the wonderful ability to have a conversation with anyone...mostly because they just start telling a story no matter what else is going on. This story almost always is about them, of course. Here is a (real) example:

Me: {not involved in a conversation with this person}

SS: Hey...Hey Adam...Come here...Did you notice my glasses have two different lenses in it? Isn't that funny?!?

Me: Um...oh yeah...look at that.

SS: yeah...it's sooooo funny. {wait a beat} Cause I had cataract surgery last week. And I didn't have any of the right glasses, so I had to use these. hahahahaha. Isn't that funny?!? Because one of the lenses is tinted. hahahaha. Isn't that funny?!?!?

Me: ummm...yeah...heh

And that's pretty much how every one of those types of conversations goes. You can also look for the person to ask themselves a question to start it off.

SS: What movie did I see last night? Oh yeah...Ocean's 13

They continue to talk about the movie. Of course they were forced to do this because I was insensitive and did not ask them what movie they watched last night.

my bad.
