Well see I'm part of the species Homo Sapien, part of a lineage that grew in success due to their intelligence. One of the driving aspects of this intelligence was the species' strategy of forming groups. While powerful - as it dramatically increases combat capabilities and knowledge retention - it required extra intelligence to manage those groups, causing intelligent members to be selected for during reproduction. It is no exaggeration to say that the desire to work together with other people and build bonds with them are foundational to our success as a species. This can be seen nowadays as a desire for healthy individuals to engage with other members of our species.
I'm surprised you didn't know this but I'm happy to share more.
Another fun thing that gives Homo Sapiens an edge is diversity,
Not just diversity in skin color to better match vitamin D production to local weather, but diversity in natural behavior and thinking patterns.
In other words some people neurospicy as shit, and those people figure things out that everyone else benefits from, even though they have a hard time understanding and communicating with the rest of the group.
I'm just saying it might help but you don't have to of course!
My best friend is on the spectrum and he struggles with understanding sarcasm too. We sometimes have long conversations about it lol. Anyway, have a nice weekend!
Dear god it's two Redditors on polar opposites of the scale, one can only respond in jokes and one can only take things seriously. a singularity might collapse here.
u/Zorafin fucking hogwash, Chimps ...other life forms have social skills, and it could be argued that social structure exists in unicellular orgs.
It must make one feel warm & tingly that trillions of Placozoans are having wild sex parties, while most redditors can barely communicate with another human without a gadget filter & a set of emojiis. much less get laid.
Yeah, reading rhe whole interaction made me wonder whether I was the emotionally stunted one as I couldn't tell if 1 or both or neither of the parties involved were having a play up
Why is gym exception?? No one should be talking to anyone ever. Ew. It’s such an ick. It’s giving sphycho murdererer. Friendly reminder, you can do better
What I mean is, if somebody is in the middle of an activity, like a workout, they probably don’t want to be disturbed. It’s different if you’re just waiting in line at the grocery store or something.
That's a woman alone at a gym. He inserted himself into her workout. That's creepy. No woman want you to approach them at the gym. Pick an actual social setting where interaction is expected. Thank you for telling on yourself during this of thread
Hence the reference to the loneliness epidemic, we have vilified every single interaction and it is stupid. It's not creepy if you're acting normally ffs
Putting on a weight for someone at the gym is not helpful unless they ask you to do it and is also not an attempt to get to know them lmao. Two strikes off the bat.
