hello all,
in what way do you need others?
i ask this way 'cuz i am of the opinion that You DO need people—that everyone does. but many don't agree, in theory and practice. err, "need"—to live your best life, i think.
do you prefer being around people? thinking of others? how do you view others, in relation to yourself; can you understand them, as a familiar? or. maybe you'd prefer not to think about them at all? some people have better things to worry about, i suppose.
i feel like my answer would normally be be around a handful of people but in reality... i can only handle isolated face-to-face conversations most of the time. i feel like i'm airheaded and the most i think about others are when their name or interests are mentioned, otherwise i'll pretty much exist in a corner. — or that's what i'd like to say but... thinking about it a bit more i do think about people a lot, but... "my" (patron librarians) people.
i think about what times people front, what they like and dislike and what they'd like to do while they're here, and maybe that's kinda why i'm so airheaded to "outsiders". my brain is just overwhelmed having to manage an entire apartment complex that's basically only visible to me. which... is a bit wild to think about in retrospection.
i just noticed for me my CDD makes me play lobotomy corporation IRL on a larger scale... that's not a fun thing normally but honestly really funny when worded like that. first time i realized such a major thing about myself while responding to a QOTD lol
