I just know I have more fun annoying people and that’s easier when you’re not alone. Of course, eventually you will be. 😅
I may have told you, but years ago I ran into my neighbor's daughter while outside one Saturday. She was around 8, my guess. She asked if I had any kids. I answered that I do. A son, actually! Why have I not seen him? Well, I mostly keep him in the basement.
oh.
I don't have a basement btw, but I was curious to know how she'd react. Didn't phase her much, so I pushed by adding I try to feed him once every day or two.
nada.
anyways. back to the topic at hand, I am disappointed that I never knew this existed:

I literally had an experience a few months ago talking to my therapist where she asked if I ever got anything out of human interaction, and I said yes, on occasion. One of the few examples I could come up with was from here, when my perspective on The Zone of Interest shifted following responses to my thread.
A similar thing happened to me irl a few years back during the pandemic, when a conversation with someone totally changed my perspective on Breaking Bad’s ending.
I think some people are naturally inclined to ‘broadcast their thoughts’, which is kind of reductive, but it is a way of being/ingrained communication style. But that doesn’t mean they don’t get an enormous amount of value out of interaction, especially when it comes to talking about art, film and so on.
