Psychology says people who are very selective with friends aren't lacking in social skills - they're often carrying a level of social awareness so sharp that casual conversation feels hollow the moment it starts, and the energy it takes to pretend otherwise is a cost they've simply stopped being willing to pay - Silicon Canals

Selectivity in friendships reflects a deeper social awareness and the need for genuine connections rather than superficial interactions.

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.

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.
