I will add, 'smores thing over a freshly lit fire from a petroleum soaked fake log'......
I'll bet those smores were tasty and not very good for one's health!
Another poster mentioned how some folks want only to speak about their entire life and not allow anyone else to join the conversation. I too, do not enjoy being around narcissistic, 'it's all about me' kind of people. I find an excuse to walk the dog or the necessary to complete some other 'busy' work.
Occasionally I meet someone who is interesting to converse with. Usually that involves some like interest or a career that involved an interesting, to me, topic. Conversation comes easy and is enjoyable with polite, non-self absorbed individuals.
I don't enjoy being around screaming ill mannered children, uncontrolled untrained pets, or obnoxious self involved imbeciles, or drunk individuals playing loud music.
I go camping for me and my peace of mind. I do not need to be entertained by someone else's idea of fun. If an interesting person happens to come by, we enjoy each others company for a spell and go on our own way.
Works for me.
