Well Hello

Post Reply New Topic

I ran across this place accidentally as I was googling a contacts email and username as I always do whenever I recieve inquiries from strangers. You can find out quite a bit about people that way.
(The person I googled was not a member but someone else here had the same username.)

I was shocked as I was lurking and reading posts because some of the things I was reading sounded like me.

1.) I haven't a clue what people are talking about half the time. I just don't get alot and alot of what they say that I get I just don't understand how it is "relevant". I either giggle, nod, repeat what they say or smile really big.

2.) I can talk about things I know about to great length. I like sharing knowledge or exchanging relevant information.

3.) I'm a research addict and will research mundane things to death. I love facts.

4.) I like functional art. It must have a purpose or it is clutter.

5.) I'm not touchy feely and can get overloaded if people touch me too much, or even talk to me when I am overwhelmed. This is a problem re: intimacy. If I am overloaded, it ain't happening and pressing me for it will get on my nerves. (I have a problem thinking about other things while being intimate as well.)

6.) I cannot do emotional displays for people. I am a practicing Christian, am moved by my faith and sincerely believe but I cannot get up and cry in front of people, or other such things.

7.) I hide periodically when I overload. I have spent days hiding in my house getting away from people.

8.) Everybody asks me questions because they know I can find answers. I spend alot of my time doing research for everyone else.

Anyways this is really long...but I'm 30 female, a mom, married to a bipolar spouse, have 4 kids, my own business. There's more but we just met.

Hello! Welcome to WP!

Your 'entry method' is a lot more unique than most. Others usually find it through Wikipedia!

I love mundane facts too! Someone once called me a fountain of useless information. But lets see who's laughing when they get their ass kicked on Jeopardy.

Hi! Welcome!

I would say you fit in with us very well here!

I hope you enjoy posting!
