I figured out why my social skills suck.

I'm still trying to figure out what makes me tick, let alone other people. I've no time for them yet. [How's that for your "false dualism of the day"?]

The Madison Update (and the Brittney Update) » Brazen Careerist:

"Knowing what’s going on in popular culture is important. It’s the world we live in. To be oblivious to popular culture is to snub one’s nose at the majority of society. And how can you claim to have good social skills if you are not interested in the majority of the people in this world? Good social skills means being interested in what makes other people tick."
