I need to do more of these

7, 24, 28, 33

7. I'm never sure how to choose just one favorite whatever. I'll go with Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, What If? by Randall Munroe, and Rendezvous With Rama by Arthur C. Clarke.

24. I don't know how this question is supposed to be answered. Platonically? Romantically? In general? You specifically? Without knowing the context I don't know how to even begin to answer this.

28. When I was really young I wanted to drive trains. Now I don't know. Someone who likes themself, I guess.

33. That I try not to annoy, hurt, or anger anyone? I feel like that's more of a reflexive action than anything but at least I can say I have good intentions most of the time, even if I question how good of a person I actually am.

fff I take 24 to be platonic like what kind of gesture from someone will just make you super happy

also you are a sweetie

I guess for 24 it would be when people don't demand anything more of me than what I'm currently giving? Like, to not have any expectations of specific change or behavior from me and just accept that this is who I am right now? I put enough expectations on myself that I don't need anyone else adding to them.

Odds are I'm already beating myself up over not doing the thing that they want me too do so adding external pressure to the internal pressure isn't going to help. Of course I probably read too much into things and assume that others have expectations of me that they don't.

I don't think I'm saying what I'm actually thinking here but it seems reasonably coherent so maybe that means it's an acceptable answer?

tl;dr Just be okay with me being in the room and enjoying your company even though I'm not interacting with you at all? That might be a better way to put it.

that comfortable time when you and your friend are in the same room on your laptops not speaking to each other A+

I've heard it called "being socially unsocial"

sadly the friend I was able to do that with moved out and away
