When something interesting happens to you...

Post Reply New Topic

Do you share it with other people?

Yes, usually

Yes, and I often regret it almost immediately. Most people don't really want to hear that the clicking noise of the turn signal is in time with the radio's current song.

This made me laugh because its the kind of bizarre thing I would notice, but never thought anyone else did!! I get a buzz when I notice that the cars in front of mine have their indicators in sync for a few seconds.

I don't ever say anything though. I'm one of the quiet aspies that never says anything.

I tell people and if they don't like it, tough. They only need to hear about my new Kinks CDs for a minute or two and than I move on to something more to their level.

Try to keep me quiet.

thank god for WP, otherwise i'd never have anybody to talk about such with.

Haha, I notice those things too. Odd that I should find them interesting.

I sometimes share things, yes. But people don't usually react to it at all...alternatively, they will wonder what I'm going on about...or go and completely misunderstand the point of what I said, and share something that they think is related to what I said (but isn't). But them not saying anything back is most common. Which is fine (I'll be annoyed, but without just cause), since I'm awfully self-centered and would quite likely not be interested in what they'd say anyhow

Depends on what the event is and who I am talking to at the time.

Mostly no.

Case in point. I took my family on a shopping excursion to the Broadway Market in Buffalo. It's an Easter tradition in the Buffalo area. It's an old style market with a bunch of different vendors selling ethnic foods and stuff like that. On the drive home they're all laughing at stuff and I'm driving, lost in my own mental world. So for grins I asked them if they wanted to know what I was thinking. Skeptical looks ensued, and a tentative "uh ... OK ..." was issued.

So I launched into a 60 second explanation of some thing I was thinking about related to the enumerability of sets of symbols and how that is connected to limitations on our capacity for constructing representations of knowledge and further speculating that this enumerability actual forces structure into our representations that are independent of the thing actually being represented.

They weren't interested.

Hence why I rarely share what interests me.

Sometimes. But with my husband, all the time.

I used to and I still want to but usually people don't find it interesting at all. So I try to keep quiet. It's frustrating though...

Not always. A lot of what I find interesting wouldn't interest anyone I know.

I always tell everyone everything and I'm pretty sure it drives them insane! I ran to one of my carers a couple of days ago shouting 'there's two red-legged partridges in the garden!! !' then proceeded to explain about everything to do with red-legged partridges... Apparently it is also not acceptable to tell everyone when my rabbit has weed on the other one or drunk it... so I try not to even though to me it is perfectly innocent rabbit behaviour!

No, because I realize the fact that nobody cares.

If I know that the other person would also find it interesting, I share it.

So occasionally, but not always.
