I'm the same way! I think it's because I'm friends with enough full on extroverts that my social battery fills up without me trying before I ever reach the point of thinking, "Hey, I'd like to chat / hang out with someone. I should reach out."

I really liked the whole Southern Reach Trilogy, but it's not for everyone. Each book is very different from the last, and you're not going to get all your questions answered. If you don't think that will bug you, give it a shot!

Thanks for the reminder, time to play wingspan again.

Right, I'd be down for a tofu sandwich but why like that???

I guess it depends on your definition of "good" and "sucks." Salt and vinegar kettle chips definitely aren't nutritious, but as far as my tastes go, they are fucking good and definitely don't suck.

Upvoted for the tamagotchi / virtual pets. The other stuff, too, but mostly the virtual pets.

Yes, teachers are mandated reporters. They will be able to get the ball rolling.

Hey, New Mexico's pretty good!

Somewhat haphazardly. I typically listen to multiple genres in one session as well. What I usually do is if I hear a song I like that's not already in a playlist (or if I like it enough that I want it in multiple playlists), I'll chuck it in at the end of one. Then when I have downtime I play around with the song order so that I like how each song transitions to the next. I enjoy doing that as a way to unwind. This method isn't great if you're the type that needs everything organized all the time though since my playlists are usually in some level of a work in progress state! The names are very boring - P01, P02, etc. I also have some playlists that are more themed, for instance a road trip playlist with more upbeat songs. I'll usually play around with that one based on who is road tripping with me and what type of music I think they'll enjoy.

Honestly, nothing crazy. Things that have elecited reactions include traveling all over the place solo, scuba diving, sky diving, hopping into a four seater plane when it's raining and foggy, getting up in front of people singing... Nothing really big, but the number of times people have said, "I could never do that!" that have coincided with me thinking, "This conversation is way more stressful than that!" is kind of funny.

I do a lot of things that people are afraid to do and it feels so easy for me… and yet simple social interaction can be so incredibly stressful.
