The effect that Gun violence has against one man vs a plethora of school children.

“Hot take”

Is this some blogger again looking to score content?

Not necessarily.

There can be knock off versions of many expensive looking things.

Yeah if anything it’s about taking the pain away.

I often operate with forgetting to eat.

Some people don’t understand how ’forgetting’ to eat happens. Getting so wrapped up into the subject you’re in that you can just put off whatever that hunger feeling is to a bit later. Although maybe I am just not that uncomfortable I guess. I’ll eat when my brain starts to feel hungry over the gut feel. But this comes with a caveat. You can have a crash and I do not recommend this.

K.

Same but was it just fake news maybe

Christopher Loyd for a while

Someone overfeeding their cat and then washing its ass because it’s too fat to clean itself anymore. Then the cat promptly having a heart attack. Then yarding feed dishes out of all the areas of the house where it was unnecessary to be overfeeding the cat.

Also stopped taking the cat to vet checkups likely because the vet told her to stop over feeding the cat.

wherein the owner was still insistent this was all quite normal pet care.

Well I mean, what did you expect with space samurai?

Calm down.

Does the 2024 election count?

Visiting ground zero of Hiroshima and then visiting pearl harbour. Super different vibes. Note: the aftertaste of visiting pearl harbour and their attitude towards war in general felt just so wrong. Hiroshima gave a definite sense of war is very wrong, and PH was just like “we’re not done yet”. It was ick.

We’re not studying the breeding cycle of bats.

FEEEEMALE.

uh huh. That’s absolutely how women refer to themselves.

The new cars have been coming out with voice commands also so you don’t have to look at the screen while driving. They even have a tactile button for it on the wheel.

‘It’s just a joke’ yup, that’s been said by sexual predators before too.

I don’t care about

I’ve told 3 coworkers already that I don’t talk to them

Ok so now you’re adding more information here. 3 people. this sounds less about just having some standards and more of a pattern emerging here.

What you are describing is more in line with how an APD thinks and behaves and not just a mere introvert trait.

The introversion trait isn’t attached to aversion. It’s based on personal need. No one trait needs to be rude and throw all politeness out the window. That’s bigger than a mere trait. People with introvert trait (without comorbidity) can actually talk to people and have a social ability even at work and they do not shy away from socializing full stop. They take periodic breaks based on need.

they feel offended

Again: that’s predictive.

Something doesn’t compute here. Unless you’ve misplaced yourself into a customer based industry and you’re just not a people person: Having a mere trait doesn’t end up with a collection of people aggressive at work. Nor would it be so attached to aversion and delivering hostile narrative on what other people must be thinking.

There is a proper way to break a conversation without having to be abrupt about not wanting to talk. Simply having a trait doesn’t rule over basic common decency.

You sound like you have something else going on aside from just the introvert trait.

Op didn’t say they were attracted to them. You know this.

You gave advice as a way to creep someone out as an alternative solution to being left alone. That is using sexual harassment as a mode of operation.

First off, I’m am not seeing really great communication skills coming from your end in your story here.

he keeps insinuating there is something wrong with me just because I don’t ask him about his private life

This is predicting. Or do you actually know he thinks this? The use of ‘insinuating’ sounds like you’re filling in a lot of blank space with your own narrative. Unless he came out and actually said this, private information isn’t necessarily an unspoken agreed upon trade. And if it was that would be a fault on his side.

And Just to get it out of the way: Introvert isn’t where you don’t want to socialize. It’s just a personality trait in how you recharge with or without socializing. Typical introvert would not avoid socializing altogether. They’d socialize and then excuse themselves for a time being. This is of course with healthy preferences of who to socialize with like any average person could have and that is perfectly fine but that isn’t a trait of what makes a person introvert or extrovert. That’s just having standards.

Either way, this just sounds like you have made a choice that this person isn’t for you and you have some unspoken boundaries and expect someone to know your boundaries without telling them. Even if you think you are being clear with social queues this might be a case of miscommunication of what a social queue is for you and what he reads communication(possible) . But I wouldn’t leave that to assumption.

People aren’t mind readers so of it is bothering you this much you could tell him like several others are suggesting.

after that if he doesn’t let up, see HR as that would be harassment at that point.
