":)"
why could not the other character say, "thanks god, we would be the best friends, and there would be no scope for lovey-dovey complication"
ReplyDeletethe other character is shameless if you ask me.
haha, thats wat i expected too. but hey, truth is stranger than fiction :)
DeleteStrangers are better (than) friends, on the other hand
ReplyDeletethe stranger effect, story of my life!
DeleteYou fire another enigmatic shot. Stranger effect, in deed.
ReplyDeleteGeorg Simmel, a sociologist, came up with this, The gist of his writing on it was that strangers have a unique role to play in society. Among the many aplications of the theory is that sometimes people can open up more easily to strangers than to people they are familiar with. always works for me.
DeleteProbably because you are a private person with lots of idiosyncrasies.
DeleteI've been into psychology for 15 years, and I know what you mean.
An 'outspoken introvert' who thinks a lot, rather than doing things, and tortures herself? An emotional fool?
These are queries only, not conclusion.
It's easy to get along with strangers naturally, for such persons.
But you pull back or fall apart when strangers become acquaintances or friends and gradually get to know you? You stop feeling comfortable with them?
i guess we all are private persons with our own idiosyncrasies. i dont know about being an outspoken introvert, and it has been long since i stopped torturing myself. but i am an emotional fool,
Deleteand it is true that i get along with strangers easily, and pull back when they get closer. I stop feeling comfortable with them, it seems i fear intimacy.
they say we all want to talk about ourselves, i wanna know more, where can i read about this?
in my book.
Deleteoh come on.
DeleteI don't show off. I told you the truth; the rest you have to explore.
Deletewhy wud u claim not to show off, when i dd not make that allegation in the first place
DeleteI never suspected that you made any allegation. I, with humility, was asking you to find out because I did not want to show off. Apologies if I was not clear.
Deleteactually, u r showing off passive-aggressively by not sharing ur knowledge :P
DeleteMaybe yes, maybe not.
DeleteI've reasons.
and wat may they be?
DeleteTelling you about the book and the author would breach the principle of anonymity.
Deleteit would not, unless you wrote it
DeleteHey sis, this is great.

DeleteYou are welcome. May be I missed the whole point because I have not studied psychology or sociology, but I liked it.
Deleteu did not miss anything. this is a just a refreshing conversation, my poems are not meant to befuddle :)
DeleteBeautiful :-)
