To be fair, I'm with GBS!

ditto!! I eat mostly raw food, don't drink alcohol and generally dislike "small" talk.

I am vegetarian, don't drink alcohol, and am an introvert, so yeah, I feel for him.

yep...I'm a total introvert too. Guess "socializing" was never my strong suit :)

Mine either - and that was *before* the Panic Disorder (which results in panic attacks if I'm face to face with others) even started! Now I'm totally antisocial.

I stumbled upon Chappelow's "Shaw, 'the chucker-out': a biographical exposition and critique" book when I was a kid at school - honestly, the cover of that book won me over - a posed photograph of the elderly Shaw yelling from his front-doorstep at someone - GBS became my hero then and there. I adored this letter - thank you for posting it!
