    Definitely. Most of it is not genetics based but most affected by the environment.

    I think I will call this experiment off and start giving people monotone, expressionless responses and slowly start to move apart. I though this type of thing would be spiritually potent but it's exhausting and now boring.

    One co-worker I talk a lot with called me a friend. I said we're not friends, we are acquaintances. We don't hang out outside of work, although we do share a lot of personal stuff with each other over this period. But this is all to get through the day, for me at least. I want to solve my...

    Put in a lot of effort over the past year to make friends and connections. I still feel I have nothing of substance. I have people I can play pool with, drink with, go badminton with, etc, but I feel nothing for the other party. One truth makes it impossible - that I am replaceable, and so...

    I feel like the only thing worth talking about is politics, or things in close proximity to it. I can't even laugh at jokes unrelated to serious topics anymore. People say I'm too serious of a person.

    @thejuice socially acceptable vocab? What do you mean? I also hate having to use simpler words and phrases. A co-worker said that I was posh for using the world "acquaintance". I don't even come up with original thoughts to say anymore, just use a bunch of stock phrases to get by the day...

    @thejuice They attempt to predict what features you're likely to have, physically and personality wise. Like whether you're athletic, goal-driven, what eye-colour, hair colour you have, etc.

    Does anyone get bored of speaking one language? Using the same words, in the same tone that you've heard countless times over and over. Thinking in another language can be invigorating, which is sort of weird since you're getting from A to B either way.

    What age did you guys realise how important socialising and social skills were?

    What age did you guys realise how important socialising and social skills were? I think I did around year 5/6 when my desire to be social was compelling me to interact with others. So, I started feeling deeply lonely as I had no person around me to connect with. Not at home or at school. And...

    @Gerald Wilgus Humans are that simplistic. We are just animals. What is healthy, what is good, what is desired doesn't change as we are all the same. Two animals of the same type don't differ from one another. Obviously I'm speaking generally.. outliers exist. Ask a women if they want their...

    I feel I subconsciously do this. A lot of times I notice that even my thinking pattern has changed substantially. More easily recognisable is my change in interests and long-term desires.

    His ability to mimic entire personalities is something I can do, provided I have enough information to, but I only do this with people I admire in real life, not fictional personalities. I used to but was shamed for it early in life. I still don't know why it's wrong to do so but know it is.
