Hi there, I've recently become aware of something odd that happens when I'm around NTs. Does anybody find that people tend to get 'stuck' around them? When I'm out with a friend I've noticed that I hear a lot of conversations about people getting their credit cards 'stuck in their wallets' etc. Either the major wallet manufacturers of the world have seriously overlooked something or it's no coincidence.. :?

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

No, but I've noticed that withing a short time of meeting me people tend to break up with their partners.

Wanna trade curses? :P

Hmm, sounds like these curses are having opposite effects. Maybe if we do trade they will cancel each other out! :P I think mine is to do with the generally expected level of 'small talk', or at least the absence of mine..

Hey, did you notice that we both smiled? I guess I'm making progress!

I'm totally confused. What does "stuck" mean in this context? I can't help but see sticky people awkwardly stuck to each other in my mind when I read this! :-)

-starts singing-

You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake- suger,
But you'll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue,
Stick because I'm
Stuck on you

-glass breaks-

-----Ahem, laa!.. deee! -----

Staring up into the heavens
In this hell that binds your hands
Will you sacrifice your comfort
Make your way in a foreign land

Wrestle with your darkness
Angels call your name
Can you hear what they are saying
Will you ever be the same

Oops, perhaps a little dark, but I couldn't resist an excuse to use the :twisted: symbol.. :wink:

Moving swiftly on, this sticking thing. Please correct me if you think otherwise (as I do sometimes wonder whether I'm actually going insane) but 'normal' people seem to establish simple boundaries, which subconsciously indicate what their intentions are. Simple strings of gestures that seem to be a kind of pre-historic way of saying "Even though I'm standing in a supermarket next to a trolley of groceries, I really am just getting my credit card out of my handbag and not a club with which to bash you over the head, ug, ug". But if you don't have these 'reflexes?', in my experience, then it seems that people around you can get very confused over doing some pretty basic things :?

A room of people being awkwardly stuck to each other is a pretty good analogy of how I perceive it :D
