Hello again, Quilloche
Well, the shrink told me I tended to find serious matters stimulating and small talk of no interest. Solving problems [mathamatics] and dealing with tricky matters are all my game. Politics, social matters, the 'big questions' all get me going but small talk, and relationships; are of no real interest to me, so I guess I just do not go after them. I might add that I saw 4 different psychiatrists over 5 years and they do not all have the same ideas. Some think it was an Asperger's condition, more tend to think it's just the way my brain is hardwired. I have been told to interact more with the public, but no matter how I look at the public at large, I tend to find them off-putting. I am quietly content with my life as it is, and that is a good enough state to be in.
