PhuturePriest Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 I post here regularly because reading Miles' posts is the most extreme form of mortification I have yet to come across that does not involve imminent death. I'm happy to be anyone's road to calvary and thus salvation.
Nihil Obstat Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I'm happy to be anyone's road to calvary and thus salvation. You are not the road to Cavalry so much as a sharp rock somewhere along the way that gives people tetanus.
PhuturePriest Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 You are not the road to Cavalry so much as a sharp rock somewhere along the way that gives people tetanus. In other words, I make the struggle harder and thus the reward sweeter. You're welcome.
PhuturePriest Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 So apparently I'm the only social one on Phatmass. People who voted "No", keep in mind that they work there 8 hours a day, and they need social interaction just as much as you do.
PhuturePriest Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 But do they need 8 hours of it? I certainly do. I go without it due to circumstance, but if I had the choice to talk for 8 hours I would take it.
ardillacid Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I hate it most of the time. (I only get my haircut a once or twice a year and I never go to the same person twice.) The conversation almost always comes around to homeschooling. Something like this: She: Oh wow! Really? Why do you do that??? Me (wondering why I have to justify my lifestyle to a perfect stranger)... Oh... just because.... We have a dental hygienist who talks almost non-stop, which I absolutely can't stand because: 1. I really don't need to hear everything her kids are doing. 2. I can't really respond. 3. She stops what she's doing while she's talking. Big.pet.peeve. !!!! HSMOM???
PhuturePriest Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) !!!! HSMOM??? Holy croutons, she's still alive after all. I guess this means I owe Hasan a $50. Edited June 10, 2014 by FuturePriest387
PhuturePriest Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 But that didn't answer the question. Do they literally need it like they do oxygen? No. But some people are very extroverted and need that much social interaction. Others are more introverted. Don't be a hater.

Others are more introverted. Don't be a hater. I propose a scientific study. A group of extraverts will be deprived of social interaction for one day. A group of introverts will be deprived of alone time for a day. A control group of randomly selected people will be deprived of oxygen for a day. A group of randomly selected people will be deprived of nothing and act as a control. Miles has been randomly selected to be deprived of oxygen and social interaction for a day.

Nihil Obstat Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 You should have majored in psychology. Well, I could always switch majors again.......
Perigrina Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 So apparently I'm the only social one on Phatmass. People who voted "No", keep in mind that they work there 8 hours a day, and they need social interaction just as much as you do. Out in the real world, extroverts are the majority, so people who do hair should get plenty of social interaction from most of their customers, even if they leave the introverts in peace.

I am not convinced of this whatsoever. I would actually argue most are introverted. Either that, or 90% of the people I know just happen to be introverted. Introversion and extroversion do not mean talkative vs. non-talkative, like most think they do. One of my best friends is super outgoing and wants to be friends with everybody, and no one would think she's an introvert, but in reality she is in fact introverted.
