Cuz they’re boys. For some reason I particularly worry about how I’m seen by boys. I don’t care as long as they don’t think I’m being weird. Insane is fine, weird is not.

See above. 

What's wrong with weird?

Oh yes you do have to careful with the weirdness. We're kind of stupid that way.

Weird is fine. I worry if they think ‘does she want to be friends or does she have other motives?’

News flash: nope. No thank you.

Yes you have to be careful. But the thing is if you talk to us our little idiot brains will be spinning in circles trying to figure it out for a very long time.

I am an idiot and you cannot convince me otherwise. See my long post earlier for more things that I think about myself.

Plus, you are probably spinning their poor heads around. Make certain you make your intent perfectly clear so they understand. If you're capable of such a thing. Put them out of their misery, so to speak.

I am absolutely in no way qualified. I just know that typically, girls talking to boys results in major confusion from the boy. In my experience we're a little too vulnerable to being complemented. It's a thing we don't get a whole lot, in my experience. Even if there is no complementing going on, it's still confusing to us, I think. Honestly most of this paragraph (If you can call it that) is based on observation.

I'm just asking so I can enter the conversation without having to read stuff.

It’s funny. You say you’re an idiot like TAAron says he’s useless. The interesting thing is that NEITHER OF YOU IS RIGHT. WHEN WILL YOU BOTH GET THAT INTO YOUR HEADS.

I don't know, man. I had a friendly conversation with a group of girls for like and hour over a game of mega Jenga, and I didn't care. Not that there's anything wrong with it if you do care, I think I'm the weird one here. Hence my lack of qualification.

Also haha @The Halcyon Girl. Look, he's got to have some character flaws.

Luckily for you, I'm also pretty useless. I'm too stupid to get that into my head.

Sir we are going to surround you with friends this weekend and you are going to learn that your are not stupid nor useless.

Who had the idea to mess a bit with Dominion? You did.

You have ideas, you are a person and your are not worthless or stupid.

Actually, that was mostly my brother's idea.

Unfortunately or realistic, depending on how you look at it, my self-esteem is quite low, as I am sure absolutely none of you have noticed. It being low does not mean it is incorrect, however.

I would really rather not be useless. Unfortunately, it's a little bit late for that.

Based on this and the post in tCoJCoLDS (is that abbreviation allowed?) thread, I have determined that you have a habit of inserting the word "scudding" into compound words.

 

In my experience, conversations with girls greatly depend on the girls. Insanity and Ranryu can easily attest that I hold perfectly normal conversations with them on a basically daily basis. (Perfectly normal by our standards. All those normal non Sanderfan people are baffled by us.) There are other girls in the ward that I can usually talk to normally without a problem.

But the "normal" girls? They're just weird. Like, your standard high school girl (you should know what I'm talking about) is someone that I cannot hope to interact with on a normal level.

But frankly that's also the case for standard high school boys. So it depends so much more on the personality than it does the gender. At least in my experience.

Cellist, you are an interesting, wonderful, intelligent, eternal being who has potential beyond what any of us can comprehend and value above that of anything we can imagine.

Just thought you should know.

You’re not. I promise. 

Incidentally, have you had a patriarchal blessing?

Hmm. I agree and disagree with the above statement about girls. I have a hard time interacting weather I know them or not, and it's getting really annoying.

As for the other thing, thank you? I feel like this is the part where I'm supposed to be all smiley and better or something, but I don't feel it.

No, I haven't. People have been quite fond of reminding me of that fact lately.

Well, if it did, that would certainly be depressing, wouldn't it? There is a difference of wording in saying "unimportant" and saying "useless" but there's less of a distinction than you might think.
