I mean, is it really okay to show Hanners using a rectal thermometer on Clinton to determine his level of hotness?

--- Quote from: Y on 03 Jun 2016, 18:03 ---Do you prepare your questions too? Usually I get to ask them one thing (if I'm lucky) as I don't come up with any follow up question easily, especially if they ask me something in return. But recently I'm going over entire dialogue trees as well, and figured out you can force a certain dialogue path if you ask things you already know.

I do try to predict where a conversation could go and have some answers ready. It can get extremely quiet around me and I have to remind myself to keep giving and asking for information even though I don't really need that data. Small talk was very difficult but it's gotten easier because of the repetitive dialogue.

Ditto.
Morituri:
It took me a while to realize that lots of people get uncomfortable when no speaking is happening. It was a very frustrating thing to understand because mostly the pauses were happening because I was trying to think of something I could say that wouldn't make them uncomfortable.
So I watched to see how other people handle it and eventually learned a repertoire of irrelevant but non-threatening noises to make. I really dislike it when people make irrelevant noises at me, but I suppose that's because I never really perceived silence as threatening.
It all comes under making allowances. People make the noises because they think I'll be reassured by them. I can forgive that. And I like it when people aren't threatened, so I can make the noises too even if I don't like them.
Sort of a catch-22. And I'm not even anywhere on the Autistic spectrum, I'm just "incompletely socialized."
