well

i was being sarcastic but i'm pretty sure i have enough for a list so here goes

1. PERSONAL SPACE
2. personal boundaries holy shit do not touch me if i don't know you
3. related to the above: i do not know where your hand has been
4. i don't want your space germs
5. aliens scaring the shit out of me just wandering up and grabbing me like stop

note: general you on all of the above

[resnipstance]

Awww. Grouchy, much?

I think it's nice!

[robitussin]

congratulations you've discovered my middle name

why

[resnipstance]

I don't know. It just feels nice to be connected with people.

[robitussin]

you can't feel connected with people without random strangers creeping up on you and grabbing your hand?

[resnipstance]

Well, sure. I can. [Mostly because she's an ex-Jedi.]

But that's not their way.

[robitussin]

can't they like build friendships without touching each other all the time

that was an unfortunate sentence but i'm not going to edit it

[resnipstance]

That's not how they grew up, though. To them, it's as natural as like... talking.

Imagine if someone told you to build a friendship with someone without talking to them.

[robitussin]

yeah but you didn't say you understand and accept their diverse lifestyle or whatever

you said you like it

[resnipstance]

I do.

Having a connection with the Force means feeling connected with all living things. It's always weird for me to realise that other people don't get that. It's nice to be somewhere that does.

Plus, I like holding hands.

[robitussin]

even with random strangers??

[resnipstance]

I wouldn't go out of my way to do it, but I don't mind it if it's well-intentioned.

Besides, if you connect with someone, are they really a random stranger anymore?

[robitussin]

yes

because at the time they grabbed my hand i have no idea who they are and i still don't besides "strange person grabbing my hand"

[resnipstance]

So talk to them. They're just saying hello.

[robitussin]

ugh. talking to people.

[resnipstance]

You seem to be doing okay at it here.

[robitussin]

texting is different
