I don't know that I got across the real basis of my last post here. I'm pretty high on the schizoid scale, which means I spend most of my time alone in my head. For me, that's quite pleasant and by no means a situation I deplore and complain about. Communicating with others IRL isn't pleasant. Never has been. From the beginning of memory.

Then I got on PC a while back and enjoyed myself. Enjoyed posting and replying to posts and replying to replies of my posts. It feels good. I don't have to see anyone's face or listen to their voice and they're not really near me. That kind of communication is quite pleasurable and it's what keeps me coming back to PC every day.

And then, in the morning, talking with my wife by the bedside, I inferred from her face and tone that she enjoyed talking with me the way I enjoy posting and reading replies on PC. This was a brand-new insight for me. I hadn't ever given any thought to why other people might actually like chatting with someone. And now I had something to compare it to: my PC experience.

Well, despite the fact that I must appear rather negligent as concerns my wife, I do like to make her happy and bring happiness into her day. And this presents a whole, brand-new way of doing so. And since I like to make her happy, this will mean making me happy at the same time. Win-win. Yeah.
