In general?

For me, I generally prefer talking to someone one on one. Especially if it's a large group, it can get annoying trying to keep up with the convo.etc.

Although I do like socialising in groups at parties/dinners etc, especially when the alcohol and laughs flow.

I prefer one on one, or small groups. However the fun you get in large groups are just unreplacable sometimes.

I generally prefer one on one, and don't generally like talking in groups. Would rather sit back and listen in those situations.

I'm like DFOR, the bigger the group the shallower the conversation. Not one for small talk.

One on One for me.

I am terribly anti-social and I find herd mentality the most off putting side of Humanity. Human beings are always far nicer as individuals. Put them in a group and all the competing, one upmanship, show-off, artificial, shallowness comes to the surface and makes us all into fools IMO.

I can take most people one on one , most people do tend to repel me when in a social clique though. I don't like posers and we all become posers one way or another when we are put in social situations.

I personally just shrink into oblivion and will find myself a nice dark little corner with a book and if I am lucky an interesting just as anti-social person will join me and I can have a decent intelligent conversation with a like minded individual !

I loathe parties, everyone trying their hardest to be the person they believe others want them to be. I am not too great at double talk and double being , it bores me silly so I leave that to social butterflies.

I personally do well in both scenarios but as a preference, I like a one-on-one situation better.

I'm an introvert so one-on-one.

I prefer one on one because I feel more comfortable that way. I'm okay with groups too, as long as you are my friends. Stranger group? I don't talk.

Precisely! I also prefer one-on-one conversations or small groups.
