I am like you, also wanting a signal before interacting.

I think for me, a big reason is because I’m autistic and I won’t be able to perceive any ‘cues’ from other people, so I default to assuming they don’t want to talk unless they’re extremely explicit about the opposite.

But I think a lot of people also look for a signal, they’re just better able to read it from body language and whatnot?

That’s adorable! Does anyone know what kind it is?

Your username makes me think you go around in elliptic orbits just to say NO at things due to your skepticism. :)

I’m not American so I grew up hearing about peanut butter from their media. I made up this amazing idea of it, which was completely shattered when I finally tasted it.

It’s probably one of those acquired tastes like Australians with Vegemite (which I also tried according to recommendations but I probably just needed to go back in time and be born in Australia).

I still dream of tasting my imaginary peanut butter.

Same here. I’ve been commenting more, but it takes an unreasonable effort. Actually making a post seems really intimidating and it makes me exhausted to just think about it.

Thank you, “V&V” was completely undecipherable to me.

Impressive! And yet the plant seems happy up there?
