Passively being social is a worthwile means of passing time. Long live the people around me, who don't exclude me but also don't talk to me. Being accepted in society with communication as a superficient luxury. Keeping quiet can't be corrected, you know. And another thing; do you know that kind of people (mostly mothers with a son or daughter in puberty or older ladies) who nod at everything you say and ask with fake enthousiasm about whatever you were talking about.
I also love them. You can tell them anything you like, they won't remember it anyway. But you do get the feeling that you are talking to a living creature that is interested in your life, that is pretty plain.
