Hello, I was just wondering how many of you guys can related to these

Driving - I have ZERO desire to drive. At all. I don't mind taking public transportation, getting friends to give me rides, etc. I just don't want to drive.

Criminal Mind - I have a criminal mind. For some reason, I think of every single possible outcome, how to ensure the outcome happens, how to avoid that outcome, etc.

Lying - Related to Criminal Mind, I can lie extremely well. I can come up with a story, that sounds beleivable enough to be true, yet not able to be disproved. No one ever can tell the difference.

Love - I rely on a calculated form of love. I don't "feel" love... I "think" love. When asked if I love someone, I run thru a mental checklist, tally up points, and get a rating... Then convert it to "love" "like", etc.

Food can't touch - No matter what I eat, if the food isn't designed to be eaten as a whole (Biscuits and Gravy), the food CANNOT touch. Drives me INSANE.

Just curious :o


*I don't what to drive a car either

*I think I know what you mean, like how people could avoid getting caught/how I can get away with stuff in certain situations...definitely

*I can kinda lie. I don't like doing it, and I usually tell the truth unless it is a rule that I disagree with

*Haha, I kinda do that...but my checklist is probably different from yours

*Oh, nope. I don't care about that. I'm to the point that if it's a food that I can eat, and it is still good, I don't give a crap

I love to drive. It's relaxing to me. Which is bad with $4 gas.

I very often consider every possible outcome of a decision prior to making it, but I don't consider that a "criminal mind."

I can lie, I just don't like to. Just a personal preference.

I'm asexual so while I can see someone is objectively attractive I'm not attracted to them. Also, I've never been in love. And have no desire to pursue it.

Kinda weird but ok. Whatever floats your boat.

I don't love driving, but I hate any other method of transportation. I usually prefer to drive than to watch someone else drive though.

That's not a criminal mind. That's a good mind, because you're putting it to good use. I try to do the same.

I can lie. I've done it before. But I prefer to tell the truth. Usually when I lie it's obvious that I'm lying, but whenever I tell the truth nobody believes me either. :roll:

I'm not sure I feel love either. I don't really even understand what love is, besides some sort of emotional bond between people.

It doesn't drive me insane, but I don't like it either.
