It depends on the person. I have definite likes and dislikes. If I sense an ingenuousness nature I'll be quietly polite. If someone is open I will like them whether they are gregarious or quite in nature. That's when the communication happens for me. If they are over the top in their personality I usually avoid them.
I am reserved but not shy.
When I was young, I used to go to a lot of parties but that was always with friends. I would never go to a party where I didn't know anyone.
My son doesn't like small talk. He has to have a reason or a subject to discuss and if he does he is thoughtful,engaging and humorous although he would say he is like you are UT. I think that comes from preconceived notions though.
