me me me

inside me there are 2 nerds:
1. maxed out intrapersonal stats
2. "can i get your insights on this?" idiot


1. the first one is me after i embraced solitude
     stats:
            > mastered self-awareness
            > into arts and crafts, filming, and journaling
            > reads a lot of psych articles and books to understand oneself better


2. the second is a really annoying trait imo. i mean, no one wants to deal w sum1 who asks a lot abt basic human questions lolololol
      traits:
             > mostly nonverbal and observing, tryna see if it's safe to be a nerd and an idiot
             > after mentally resonating with someone, ask them unending "thoughts?" and "can i get your insights on this?"
             > utilize them as a reference to understand how others think and act


in terms of socializing, i have good skills (?) well, i'm still learning and i managed to overcome my social anxiety. 

sure, i'm nonverbal but i can pretty much listen without daydreaming midway through the conversation. i can be fully attentive, maintain eye contact, and occasionally nod when needed. 


i can easily approach strangers and ask them for directions and such. make small talks that pique their interest to engage in discussions (i admit that i do this so they do all the talking instead).
