I didn't realize you were a thrash fan. \m/

No one wants to read the manual.
No one wants to type on the search engine.
No one wants to contact and directly ask.
No one wants to see the icon's name.

And I have verbal comprehension and social issues. :P

.....
I know why though.
Even NTs gets overwhelmed in situations they're not accustomed to.
No scripts or regular trained routine taught.

Because either they rely on references that are not reliable, locked on some helpless dynamic, or is truly busy and is filtering tools during a situation.

Does this sound familiar? :lol: :lol: :lol:


Anyway.
I always feel the same whenever my mom asks to help me involving the technology and the internet... :?

I really like the drum sound on their first album.

It ends up with people wanting me to solve their problems... Because I'm smart...

Neighbor: "How do I get ahold of maintenance directly?"
Me: "Did you call the office?"
Neighbor: "I got an answering machine"
Her emergency turned out to be her refrigerator was too cold... I could have told her to turn down the temperature gauge... or actually leave a message on the machine, because "refrigerator too cold" doesn't warrent the emergency maintenance line... But uggghhhh...

Then one of my aunt's messages me, asking a question that could easily be Googled... Sigh I Googled it and gave her the answer...

I mean... Yeah... It's called Google, lol!

I crave social interaction... But at the same time not this type...

Are these people, in turn, willing to help you with other minor things when you need help, including giving you advice on matters on which they happen to be more knowledgeable than you?

(If so, perhaps it's an even exchange? Otherwise they're just using you?)
