what is so great about having a "proper conversation"? granted, sometimes, it is functionally necessary to have a proper conversation.

maybe however, almost everyone talks, way too much, way too often. about things that do not even matter to anyone, except the speaker. what does "how are you doing?" mean? the only socially acceptable answer is "good". but there are five emotions and "happy" is just one of them. it reminds me of "don't ask, don't tell". and "ask me no questions and i'll tell you no lies". what does "it's nice to see you" mean? it's just talking for the sake of talking.

"normal adult"? what is "normal"? what is so great about being "normal"? granted, in some ways, it is better to be "normal" than to be the way that i (short fat bald ugly man) am. for example, it is better, all things being equal, to have a job and precious lil "friends". than not to have them. however, being "normal" is not inherently necessarily a positive thing.

for example, the solar system contains more defendants convicted of rape, than Nobel Prize winners in Literature. the activity with more participants is not always more morally justified.

being "normal" makes it easier to get social acceptance. (fine). i get that. as a trans, autistic, person with six (out of ten) diagnosed personality disorders, i get it. (fine). granted.

but maybe social acceptance is overvalued by society.



Can not agree more!

Yes ! !!

I wouldn’t think you’re inappropriate for sending ilikemusic a PM.

As long as you don’t preach to him about probiotics.

You just might be a good resource for him.

Lol I preach openly to everyone about probiotics. They can read it on the forum. Some people have sent me PM’s with questions for me. I’ve never messaged anyone to tell them anything about it unless they asked & I replied.
