Ok, I'm an actor and I'm currently working on a tour and am going to start a new one in the near future with a new group of people and a new company.
The problem is, since starting my current job, I realised that I don't have the amazing personality I thought I had. I always thought I had a gift for long, engaging conversations with my friends and when meeting new boys... but no-one in this job ever shows me enough interest to hold a long conversation. My humour is very much based on sarcasm and - I'm sure there's a word for it, but what I tend to do is make jokey assumptions about people to their faces, like, "Oh, you're from Liverpool, glad I put my steering lock on" (ok, I've never said THAT, but I didn't have an actual example to hand!) I know I need to wait a lot longer than a first meeting to be this way but I find sarcasm and this type of humour helps me relax and hide behind this weird front as I don't know how else to be. Also... please see below, running out of room...
