Ma'am, I don't mean to offend, but I believe you over-think everything more than anyone else in the world (with the possible exception of my little sister).

It's endearing, but I read your posts and think "Man, she's right. She must have spent, like, a full minute thinking it through. Who does that???"

Overthinking is the only thinking mode I have, as I think whole-to-parts.

I mean that I see the complete system in my head, all at once, and then I scribble the whole thing down until I see my vision reflected in the text.

And then I post the note.

And then I notice that I forgot this edge or that node, or that I didn't define this point clear enough.

And you can see the scribble-correction posts sort of drip in.

Erase, redraw the line slightly further left...

And I can't stop myself from writing feverishly until the whole picture is complete. 😂

The End.

Your process, right there.

You are a remarkable outlier on the bell curve, on what is now known professionally as "Low Self-Monitoring", but which our ancestors are believed to have termed "sincerity".

Apparently it was valued. :-p

You mean to tell me that I have no protective mental filter?

Say it ain't so, Sam. 😂

Luckily, I have an artificial filter called "unfollow" and "mute".

Don't change :-p

😊

I suppose some men prefer guileless women. You don't have to interpret anything we say or do, as we speak with such transparent naivete.

Like a child.

But we always need lots of protection. I don't know if that's a bug or a feature.

I think my husband likes that about me.

Constantly strategizing, but rarely scheming. Outspoken and outgoing, but physically timid and easily startled.

Such an odd combination.

Perhaps I'm an acquired taste.

Sorry, I'm rambling and daydreaming, again. As usual.

Later, gators! 😊

Four npubs have told me I'm an acquired taste. 🙈😂
