People who remember exactly what you ordered last time, what song you mentioned once, and which side of the bed you prefer aren't just thoughtful. They grew up scanning rooms for shifts in mood and tone, and the attentiveness everyone admires was originally a surveillance system built for survival. - Silicon Canals

Social attentiveness often stems from childhood survival mechanisms rather than inherent generosity or thoughtfulness.

The real reason people whose parents divorced when they were children often become the calmest person in any room isn't emotional maturity - it's that they spent their childhood reading the weather between two people and that radar never turns off, it just gets quieter, and by adulthood they can feel a fight coming three sentences before anyone else in the room - Silicon Canals

Children of divorce develop heightened emotional sensitivity and conflict-detection abilities that persist into adulthood, enabling them to anticipate and defuse tension in social situations.

Dear Abby: Why are some of these old people so cranky?

My neighbor is 80. She's known me since I was 13. Her husband died 10 or so years ago. She's my political opposite. All she does all day is stay inside her house (even when it's sunny) and watch TV news. I try to be nice to her because she's alone and probably depressed, but sometimes I want to curse her to high heaven. I borrowed $40 from her and told her I'd give it back the next day.
