Antisocial guilt

[Fritzo]

I really don't want to rag on the genuine concerns of posters here whom I respect, but I'll just say this for myself: I really do like people.

Irl, I can and do get along with just about everyone. For me, this is effortless. I know at least something about a wide range of topics, and can always find ways to engage others. Again, I have to stress, this is not WORK for me. It comes easily and naturally, something I realize is not the case for a lot you folks here.

I avoid politics, of course, and never, ever take the bait if someone else doesn't. I have my views, my values, but I don't ever feel the need to impose them on strangers (except in the thunderdome of P&N!) That never goes anywhere good, and no one's mind gets changed during what almost always ends up as a heated, red-faced exchange with guys shouting past each other.

Other than that, I am genuinely curious about what makes other people tick. I can get just about anyone talking, and in depth, and again, again, again, this happens with no undue effort or burden on my part.

One might say I'm sort of an on-the-ground cultural anthropologist. That, and having little real life fear, is probably what made me a really good P.I.

I bring my sense of fun and adventure to any event I attend, and can always manage to have an effortlessly decent time.

Can I rent you out of the night?

He's booked for months. Maybe even years out.

And when I call, he says, "How'd you get this number," and hangs up.

Ah, you want GBFE, the boyfriend experience.


Perk is getting perky and calculating the rates as we speak.

I think we're on the same page here. Growing less guilty by the day. Almost reaching "going to call the police with a noise complaint on party day" levels in fact

I just let them be loud when they want, I figure that I can expect the same. Air tools and saws are likely irritating to them at 0700 on Saturday (I'm an early riser), but no ones ever said a word since I moved into the neighborhood in 2008. Several dozen Saturdays with air-tools and grinders, or saws and planers, and other than the occasional neighbor stopping by to see what I was doing, nary a peep.

They just haven't crowd-sourced enough funds to pay your assassin yet. Judy down the block favors simply burning your house down.

Neighbors are the people that live in the houses in the vicinity of my house. The term neighbor only describes their residence's proximity to my house, nothing more. They are not friends, we do not 'socialize' with them. We chat when we meet while walking our dogs, and the dogs sniff butts. I've called a neighbor to let them know their dog was barking at 3 bears that were next door, so they could get their dog out of harms way, or that a bear just strolled into their open garage. Otherwise, leave me the fuck alone, and I will return the favor.

Friends that we socialize with don't happen to live in the vicinity of my house. They don't come to our house, we don't go to theirs, but we often meet at a brewery or similar location.

I have zero issues with any of the people that live in the vicinity of my house. That said, I don't know them that well either, which may help with that. We have met people that initially seemed really nice, but after a while became a chore to visit with, or became a bit too clingy. Not an issue, and easy to avoid, when they don't live next door or just down the street.

Release flyers on the shady side of town stating there will be free food and pony rides!

That is brilliant! LOL...

There is a lot to be said for being just plain friendly. You are evidently a master. Kudos!

I have limited amounts of energy “ spoons” nine hour shifts four days a week at a hospital front desk tends to empty my spoons, particularly since Covid. I really tend to focus on my cats, also spend a lot of time researching & reading about things I am curious about. Going out is reserved for special occasions…a birthday party for the woman who hosted my 60th, an upcoming party for a supervisor who retired during Covid….sharp man, dry sense of humor that not many people caught ( he seriously cracked me up) a fixation on numbers. I will go to dinner with my family, Gordon Ramsay is opening a restaurant in Boston & I swear I will live to try his beef Wellington and toffee pudding….. husband is more social with the neighbors, for the most part I tend to shy away.

I've had the toffee pudding in Las Vegas. It does indeed live up to the hype.

He is putting together a 7,000 sq foot place in Boston, a few friends and I want to go & all order different dishes to share. I have seen lots of reviews on YouTube, the prices are high but the food looks drool worthy I gotta have life goals after all
