    “I had been conditioned to believe that initiating a conversation with a stranger was weird and it was tough to break free from that.”

    “Luckily, most people were receptive. I got a rush of dopamine whenever someone responded positively to my conversation, so talking to new people became strangely addictive.”

    “Small talk is a tiny, free and very possibly priceless reminder of our shared humanity. If we intentionally give up talking to strangers, if we purposely decide to give in to the phone shield, the consequences will be horrible. […] Let’s back up and start a conversation before it’s too late.”

  4. CW: New Blog: wanking off the delivery guy, and tits of course

    There was this guy in too many pockets, all German, and intimidating, and grumpy. And there was me with ASD overload.

    A real encounter led to this filthy, self-indulgent fantasy.

    And of course it's a good excuse to get the tits out again.

    "His cool dirty fingers touched my warm clean ones, and lingered a moment. And neither of us withdrew."

  8. Our future self: The stranger we are unable to imagine, and yet will come to be

    'change is possible'

    We humans have a natural tendency to imagine what our futures will be like, and our imaginings about the future are very often characterized by optimism. We tend to think the lives our future selves will have as successful, happy, and fulfilled. But...
