    Who as I like to joke about, those that need to constanly be on cellphone, esp. in my car, or at gym on treadmill..it's like, really. :)

    So I have a No Cellphone Use as my passenger. Guess I"m just to old.

    I'm just curious, is it all about feeling important having to be on cellphone constantly? (mostly humor)
    It’s to quell social anxiety.

    I can't relate to people who are disingenuous or flaky. Say what you mean. Do what you say you're going to do. Stop messing people around.

    I am a forgiving person but too much of this *kitten* turns me off.

    This is actually one of my pet peeves. If you can make it, say that. If you can't, say that. But don't tell me you can do something, then just not come.

    I feel you. It is so annoying, and honestly it can be quite disheartening.

    It’s social anxiety. I want to go and then I chicken out. Still flaky but maybe you can relate better if there’s a true explanation.

    Yep. This.

    I can't relate to people who don't like to have white towels or bedding because it "shows the dirt", like wtf...if my duvet cover is "dirty" I want to know, and same for a towel I dry my face on.

    I know people who like brown or dark colours for bedding and towels because "it doesn't show the dirt". Hmm, so you're ok with that scenario...*mental note to self...questions persons hygiene*

    I am trying to talk myself out of a white couch tho...maybe off white I'm thinking now and not bright white.

    Well I know this is oldish now but I have a white couch in my living room and it’s perfectly fine if you buy with ease of cleaning in mind. Now in our family room I have an old brown sectional and when I had both cleaned that one was dirtier because like you said you can’t see it. But my white couch is looking new a little over 3 years later, and it’s so beautiful to pass up.

    I love public speaking; the more awkward, the better.

    Agreed. I can only do this by going to the donut shop and buying ONE donut and leaving.
    The guy there knows me as "one blueberry donut" lady.

    Who think everything happens for a reason, as if some higher power has destined this to be. I don't believe in fate, nor the universe aligning to make something happen, and if someone tries to convince me otherwise I can't relate. I'm happy to have them share that belief with me, and I won't try to convince them that I'm right and they're wrong. But I definitely don't share that perspective.

    I’m with you, I’ve never understood this idea, even when extrapolated from religious beliefs. Everyone has free will. Time and chance happen to all. Some things really are just a coincidence. And occasionally the matrix glitches my man, but thats a topic for another day

    Agreed. And sometimes things happen just because the person it is happening to is stupid and created the mess themselves.

    Gossip. Have unrelenting drama in their lives. Try to control everything.

    Usually when you're negative about the world around you, living in a vortex of drama, there is only one common denominator.

    i can’t help it if all my friends are *kitten* and every boss i’ve ever had is an *kitten* and my boyfriends have all been narcissists. I’m just unlucky.

    ta da.

    I don't know how to relate to people who think it's normal for aunts/uncles to discipline kids including spanking with a switch or whatever crazy backwoods BS

    And almost the opposite...I don't know how to relate to people who have never stayed in a Motel 6 or equivalent.

    chemical high afterward, that's all I can say about that.

    I so wish I could successfully public speak. I can't even control how my body reacts. I start shaking, turn bright red and break out in hives, my voice trembles...it's awful. I even took a public speaking class as an undergrad in the hopes of overcoming it or at least making it manageable by getting out of my comfort zone, but no dice. :(

    Aw that's terrible! I wound up minoring in it and doing two years of debate. For me the breakthrough was developing some really good visual aids to distract me and help me with where to put my hands (haha) and I relied heavily on those in my first dozen speeches.
