❓ PLP Inquires❓

All my family lives in my neighborhood? What fucking level of hell is this experiment taking place on?

200k - don’t spend a dime beyond basic subsistence until I have enough to move somewhere far far away.

Great minds think alike.

Let's do a little psychology experiment.

Say all your friends and family lived in the same neighborhood.

Would you rather make 75K a year while everyone else in the neighborhood made 100K? Or... would you rather make 200K a year while everyone else made 100K?

It's not a riddle.... or is it??

Enough to build a very tall fence

Lol I think we lost the main point of the question because everyone wants to go off the grid!

I’m sorry. My mother is driving me crazy.

My real answer to the question is that I’d probably want to make 200K. We always seem to be where everyone comes to hang out most of the time so the extra $$ would be great.

Lol, its everyone. I just loved the universal reaction!!

No no, not me. Put me in the fucking heart of the grid.

Really???

Show me the money. Every time. Money is only disposable to peeps who have it. I don’t.

I don't have it either, but I've been way out in the back of beyond for far too long. I'm absolutely loving being in a big city now.

And I'll take the money

Well, it’s a modified “prisoner’s dilemma”. Change it up to be “you make 75k, everyone else makes 100k and no one knows your choice OR you make 200K and everyone else makes 80k but everyone knows your choice”. The answers might be different.

Mine is not.

Yes indeed. Just because you have family and friends living too close to you doesn't mean that they have to be in your yard or house all of the time. Personal privacy is an artificial construct more often than a geographic one. It's only been a short period of time historically speaking since many of us here in North America and the UK have grown used to not having multi-generations of family or extended family in the same small, cluttered households.

And as others have already stated... added, well-managed income promotes extended travel to exotic places away for family and neighbors.

I'd love to bring all my friends into a neighborhood where they all made 100K a year. That would be awesome. I'll take the 200K though for me. Cause that's how I roll.

Conversational division.

How much of the conversational weight do you carry? How much do you want to carry? Do expect the other person to always have something to say or do you prefer people who will just listen? Are you a good conversationalist?
How do you fix a conversational imbalance? Can you?

 

[Karabare]

200. Too much togetherness can be stifling. I'll use the disposable income to escape on vacation once in a while.

Agree, I live hundreds of miles from most of my family and distance doth make the heart grow fonder.

Yikes PLP, getting all deep, I do good at talk.

 

[Suz_anne]

I ramble on a bit when given too much conversational weight to carry. Wanna hear about the woman who wronged my mom in a church group 30+ years ago? I can do 10 minutes on that easy. How about the fact that I woke up this morning stroking my own butt cheek? Easily another 10 minutes.

And don't get me started on the illegal gun dealer who used to hit on me whenever I was sporting a spray tan.

I need other people to be good at balancing out the convo.

I can make small talk all day long. I have to do that a lot at work when talking with parents or other people in the school setting. I feel like I can find common ground with most anybody. However, I don’t usually want to do that when I’m talking in a social situation. It’s a lot of work. I don’t seek out people just to try and strike up a conversation for the hell of it. If someone isn’t holding up their end of the conversation, I either 1) feel like they really don’t want to talk to me and I’m being a nuisance, or 2) just lose interest completely.

I'll take the 200K plus the 75, if you don't mind. I'd love to travel with my kids.

I can carry a conversation. In the best conversations I’m carrying my own part and leaving room for others to breathe life into it.

I always prefer interactive conversations. If the other person wants to just sit there and listen I’m comfortable. If the other person needs me to just sit and listen I’m comfortable.

Yes, I am a good conversationalist.

Yes. I can spark a conversation. I can breathe life into a conversation. I can gently guide the conversation toward it’s better angel. I don’t think conversational imbalances need to be fixed for the most part. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, their preferences and their styles. The trick is to draw them out and play to their strengths.

* I do have an advantage here besides personality. I’ve actually been trained on how to have a conversation. There are a whole lot of tips and tricks to make conversations work – easy ones and difficult ones.

I love conversation and enjoy carrying on one. If there is an imbalance, i start asking questions to find the other persons interest, so they may be more inclined to carry on as well.

If you can't carry a conversation, ask and listen and tell, then there isn't much chance of us being friends. I like curious people and interesting people. My default when someone is being boring or one dimensional is just to be boring right back until they get tired of me. (Which actually sounds really shitty when I write it. Sorry )
But conversations are give and take. I'm not here to entertain you and I don't want to talk in emojis. I like smart, funny, kind, creative people and I've been lucky to have lots of good conversations in that vein.

How do you fix a conversational imbalance? Can you?

Hmm. I can carry on a conversation just fine, I’m observant and inquisitive, but if someone’s not into it then I’ll let it go. It’s just not worth my effort trying to coax it along if the person’s not wanting to chat. I’m also content to listen more if people around are particularly interesting and/or knowledgeable, and I know when not to interject.
Depending on the circumstances in which you catch me, you could believe I’m a wallflower or a motormouth, or something in between.

Can you fix an imbalance? Sometimes. Quieter people can open up if you gauge the right mood to take, ask questions, etc. Unwanted chatterboxes are more annoying; I tend to just avoid them.
