Roxtar:
I'm betting most of you aren't combat vets (or don't know a lot of combat vets very well).
Bubbles is classic "I don't want to talk about it, and I can't relate to you people since you have no idea what I've been through".

My Bro-in-law did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm 99% sure he's killed people and often has trouble dealing with the mundane aspects of normal life in light of what he's had to do.
A guy i grew up with who might as well be my brother also did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. I know He's killed people... and that he's watched his friends die in front of him.

I don't ask either of these men about what happened. I figure they'll tell me what they feel like talking about. I don't try to "help them" get over it, because I have no frame of reference.

Faye has no frame of reference.
Bubbles as indicated that the name was given to her by her brothers in arms.

Bubbles needs to find her own path through her issues... and some snarky hipster barista probably is only going to make her feel more isolated from "normal" society.

Agreed, wouldn't miss Faye at all.

I set that one up for you nicely, didn't I?  But, in all honesty, I'd have dropped Faye from my social circle years ago too.

Is it cold in here?:
A friend of mine pointed out some simple logic.

According to the psychologists, extroverts gain energy from social interactions, but introverts have to spend energy on them.

According to the physicists, energy is neither created nor destroyed, but can only be moved around.

Social interaction, then, is a mechanism by which extroverts take energy from introverts.

Perfectly Reasonable:
I am very interested in seeing how AIs interact in the QCverse. They have human aspects, so we can identify with them. But we must also remember that they are -not human-. They are similar, yet different.
So I am kinda disappointed with Bubbles. She is all too human.

TRVA123:
On topic: I am very interested to see what happens the next time Faye and Bubbles work together.

Off topic:

I'm so sick of this damn introvert/extrovert dichotomy.

Technically, I am an introvert. I need quiet time to recharge.

However, I can go to parties, interact with people, etc. I enjoy parties. You find what works for you, what you are comfortable with. If you need to, you can push your boundaries.

I'm just so tired of hearing people talk about introverts as though we are all social misanthropes who find parties (or social interaction in general) the most terrifying/unpleasant experience on earth. Maybe some people do find parties that way, but it isn't an all or nothing thing.

gah, I'm partly posting this out of an irritation that has been building for the last couple of years from all of the "introvert/extrovert" articles and I see plastered all over social media.
