I have often thought of making myself a t-shirt, badge or other such proclamatory outerwear that says "I don't do small talk" or "I suck at parties" (although the latter option does have the potential to be misconstrued by those not entirely pure of mind). I have also been tempted to include a disclaimer in my CV that reads in bold: Definitely NOT possessed of a 'bubbly' personality. Find here an illuminating article on being an introvert in an extrovert's world. (Thanks Janey!)
Now, that's well enough social interaction for one day - I'm off to recover.
