I have occasionally wondered if I am abnormal..... Actually I probably am anyway!
@Dottie maybe you need some shock therapy to help you?

Grr...my connection went down and I sneezed my tea all over the place (the two events were not related)
I also agree with DW and Georgi about Mother day, Valentine's day and similar social occations. It just a commerical game, and I do not wish to support or participate.
(the two events were not related) Yes, sometimes it feels necessary to make a statement. I did a similar thing once, when of my friend's father asked me how I was doing, and I replied I was depressed. He then started explaing to me this was not the type of reply that was socially acceptable and expected. (I should mention my friend came from an extremely snobbish and wealthy business family) I got angry, and in turn explained to him that he shouldn't ask if he must have control over the answer - instead, I suggested he should just say "hello" instead.Originally posted by dragon wench
I totally agree.... Once a complete stranger asked me....and being in a rather...ahem...foul.... mood.... I decided to concoct an advice-column style sob story.....

I should have guessed G-force was involved, you wouldn't have come up with something so clever all by yourself!Originally posted by Dottie
There are unfortunatly other concerns with the "how are you" question thats buildt more on my social inability then reasoning about honesty. Thats why im giving you trouble CE, but im sure you've figured that by now.
About the sig I made a claim that Foul wasnt as dangerous as he looked and wouldnt bother anyone who didnt provoke him, even if that one was a puffin. G forced me to prove it.
I like people with social inabilities, I think it's boht funny and thought provocing when people say too much and the wrong things. It makes people think and question things they usually take for granted. You should meet one of my best friends Dottie, she has no conception of social rules at all and that makes her one the funnies people I know. She says what she means however inappropriate - I like that.
Not at all - the conclusions of my self-therapy were:by Georgi
@CE so what you're saying is you need therapy?
1. If you can't change yourself, change the circumstances (ie other people, your workplace etc)
2. I'm a lousy therapist and I should stay in research

I guess I should resist the temptation to use that line against you. So yes, I know.Originally posted by Georgi
@CE: You little jinx, my browser crashed twice in a row when trying to reply to that.

Fluffy and kind, yeah, like a polar bear I imagine, they look so fluffy and sweet on film, but in reality they are fierce predators that look at you as a goretex-wrapped seal.Originally posted by Georgi
@CE good thing that wasn't related, it would be very messy if you sneezed tea all over the place every time you lost your connection
LOL
They could theoretically have been related - reading about nose bleeding in excitement in another thread here, I suppose one could sneeze out of anger.

You're sure you don't need shock therapy? Well of course he could, he's not as daft as he looks...I should have guessed G-force was involved, you wouldn't have come up with something so clever all by yourself!
@Dottie see, I'm trying... *hug*
@CE are you saying polar bears aren't eminently cute and huggable?
Who, me?!?
Im not really sure if I should feel insulted or not.Originally posted by C Elegans

Yes, I like that as well. In myself however it manifest itself more as contempt for what other persons are saying rather than contributing to a wider social standard like your friend.
