Yes, I am very desensitized and unsympathetic. I am basing my theories on losses based on what losses I've actually taken. These losses were not really anything that would make me care, but I understand the nature and general dynamics of relationships based on observing behind a "proxy". I...

Hmm. There are not a lot of people who care about me other than family members. I don't know how caring works in the first place. It is true that it would be a greater pool of resources, but it seems to me like it's not worth the effort for the time and energy that it requires. So it's not...

Uh... okay. You got me. Can't blame a guy for trying though. I tried to play it off! Come on, up top!

I suspected that much. I ask anyways to make sure.

No, I am not "connected" to this thread. I desire the potential knowledge that I can gain from the thread, but it wouldn't matter to me if the thread suddenly disappeared or something. I reply to people because I'm interesting in getting answers and I like to argue.

Hmm. I agree with everything in this post. Other people provide perspective that I might not have myself. I can use them as a source of information that I use to make a decision and formulate a more accurate belief.

Valuing myself is simply a means of survival. My body tells me to do it. And my body brings the bread home. Literally. I can't do much about what my body wants except to provide for it (as a slave). I don't value those things on the basis of believing other people to be mostly idiots...

Hmm. I don't believe I've expressed superiority over other people. I'm human just like other humans. I don't necessarily find power over others to be amusing, I simply like to do whatever suits me at the time. For example, a person might expose their vulnerabilities to me, and then I end up...

So it's sharing experiences with a person over time which magically results in an emotional bond? Uhh.

Hmm. How can someone be worth more than what they provide? That just seems silly.

The "fear of Adaire". More like "a minor laugh through the nose". Anyways, I probably wouldn't. I think I would let the other person do all the attachment. I wouldn't have children in the first place though. Oh, I forgot to mention the thing about the anger issues. I don't think that attacking...

Hmm. I am usually not attracted to people, but I am very open. The problem here is when you said that time results in attachment. I don't think that has ever been the case for me. I don't even understand why that would be the case either. Why would time even be a factor in that?

Hmm. My parents had dogs who created puppies together. I used to attack the puppies when other people were not around. I found the range of their cries to be amusing. I've never liked animals. I've probably beat every animal in the nearest 200 feet over the course of living here. Therefore, I...

Hmm. How would I go about doing that?

Hmm. I will argue for what you're saying here for the purpose of my argument. Let us suppose that I wanted to have a genuine relationship with some person. How could I go about actually caring about them? What do I even have to do to establish in my mind, "this is an interesting person that I...

Right, that is assuming that I do something that specifically requires other people.

Hmm. You probably won't like this answer, but I would say that it doesn't matter either way. I can usually do whatever regardless as to whether I'm investing emotionally or not. So it's about the same. For example, I don't need to emotionally invest in a person to listen to music. And that's...

It's possible that I have feelings for other people, but if I do then I am absolutely and completely <your username> towards them. Yes, I suppose I do have different preferences. This results in a lack of connections. Maybe that results in a lack of investment? I don't like Mr.Burke, I just...

That's very hard to say, really. The short answer is: not alot. I enjoy very few things, and care about very little. I care about things in the short term, and usually only for that immediate period of time. For example, I may enjoy a piece of music at some point, but I don't become "attached"...

I wouldn't doubt it, but people tell me not to label myself. Because I clearly don't know myself. Clearly.

I agree that I am probably exploiting without realizing it. Those reasons seem legitimate as well. I accept free stuff. I'm not necessarily fair. I do try to create some sort of situation where both parties get what they want (compromise), but even still it's always somehow in my favor (usually...

This is interesting. Hmm. I'm still not sure as to how this would work though. If I don't care about the person, then what can I do? Also wouldn't "taking advantage" of somebody mean that I'm exploiting their emotions in order to get some sort of practical benefit out of them? To me it's...

Well, I'm not sure. Those could be considered to be benefits, but it seems like studies can show anything. Even if that was true, I'm not sure I care too much about making a lot of money or living longer.

Hmm. I think I form "practical bonds" and not emotional bonds. In other words, I "associate" with those who I believe will provide me with a direct and reliably implemented benefit. I treat them as someone I am working with and not on a "human level". Also, people frequently tell me that I just...

Hmm. Well you said what bonding results in, but you didn't say what it actually is. It's possible that I deny the existence of such bonds, but I wouldn't really know if I was denying such. I leave people at any time, and it doesn't really matter to me that they are no longer in my presence...

It is a possibility, but I do not think it is likely. One of the problems here is that an "emotional bond" is a very ambiguous term. What exactly constitutes such a thing in the first place? Until I know that, I can't really accurately say that I've tried to form such a thing. And because I...

Apparently a lot of people (not talking about these boards) are upset over the fact that I do not develop or value "genuine relationships". They are specifically referring to the process of emotional bonding. I would like someone to explain in a logical fashion as to why I should pursue such...

Hmm. I wonder who it could be.

Clever young lass we have here.

Hmm.

Rain.

I'm one of mikky's .... associates. I'm doing something right now, but otherwise I'd communicate in private.

I can't even start.

Really? We may have a bit of compatibility.

I'm only pretending to care. That is all.

Jump on my sword while you still can!

It has come to my attention that luconymous was banned. What exactly were the motives behind this?

I would like to speak to you in person I think it is best.

Not that you would even want to establish normal social relationships anyway.

Apparently I have acquired the rights to a free laptop.

This guy...

Ah..yes..the smug one.

My...my...look who we've got here.

Only 75-85%? Disappointing.

I see you've met one of my...constituents...interesting. Quite the abrupt conversation, now wasn't it.

I see you looking at me.

YouTube - Richard Cheese-Closer (Nine Inch Nails Cover)

YouTube - Darkcore

YouTube - Darkcore I'm guessing that I am the only one on the planet who listens to darkcore. They must be exterminated, either by destroying the brain, or severing the brain from the rest of the body.

Something to keep in mind: Whatever you do, nobody is watching. Based on this principle, I pretty much do whatever I feel like doing. Today, for example, I made faces at people who walked by and then followed them while dancing behind them. If they asked me what I was doing, I would immediately...
