Interpersonal Communication

I like to learn things and know everything I can about things - but I wonder sometimes if I require too much of others. Let me explain.


When learning a new task I feel I have an unusually low confidence and will ask about everything I can think of, and usually it's more then I need to know. I like to take things apart with my mind and be able to realize the entirety of things in my mind. That's always been a biggie when learning math. I like to know why x could mean anything - I had to learn about variables first. But that's just one small example.


I find people also don't like, or can't realize things themselves when your telling them something - unless it's something they actually want to learn (which is rare). You have to employ something like the socratic method for inception to occur. But I also dislike manipulation, and there is a fine line there I generally don't like to toy with.


I seem to find people don't like to be bothered with such small details and would rather talk small talk or joke around. I still ask my questions, until they start giving me the cold shoulder. I do have fun with and enjoy joking around. I can also do some small talk but it's mostly to just keep the relations on the up and up. I find these things help for when I do have a question later, so I don't seem like thats all I want. (bleh)


Maybe that's why my verbal communication feels stunted. I feel there is much to learn in this arena of communication but I'm not quite sure how to proceed. People don't usually like needy people, but I would like a place to fit in and feel important, I think we all do. Even if fitting in means working alone or at a remote location. Just so I don't feel like I have potential abilities that are going to waste. :P
