Graduate degree

Graduate degrees just prove someone is very knowledgeable about one specific field of study. Nobody said they couldn't be idiots over anything else.

Socialism is when you are social. The more social you are, the more socialism it is. If you are very social, you live in a commune

That reminds me of one of my favorite Michael Scott quotes: "I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious."

Unfortunately you're right. Maybe I'm deluding myself but I like to believe that higher education strives to be at least somewhat well rounded. I don't know what the programs are like everywhere but in my undergrad as a science major I also had to take courses from various disciplines(English composition, anthropology, philosophy, art, history, etc).

I wouldn’t say I’m socialist. My brother isn’t very social, and I’m socialer than him, though not as social as my little sister. She’s really the socialist.

To live in a commune you have to be communicable.

I read it as being maybe mildly combative but in a flirty way. But also conveying emotion over text is difficult, so I'd assume good intentions until unless given reason not to.

Can all 200 of these change your undergarments, clean you up, and carry you around?

’cause for me that's close relationships.
Closer are intimate partners.

What you can choose depends on your country, for example in mine it's only "Moderate", "Liberal", and "Conservative", but I've seen polish people with "Leftist". Tbf I haven't seen explicit socialist

Yeah, what's your close friendship number?

Extroverts have a much wider pool they can easily get close to.

We are past talking about people you know.
How many of them can change adult diapers for you?

But to answer your other question? Idk maybe 2-4 people

There is a reason the happiest people are usually ignorant to their surroundings. Head in the sand works for a lot of people’s sanity.

It's quite the opposite. The fact you didn't know how Gen Z uses the term «dunbar» today, makes your vocabulary far less limited than mines.
Now that I got your exact array of closeness, you're an introvert with high tolerance to social interaction. Your social battery is far more tolerant to stimulae.

Extroverts are the exact opposite, they feel alive yapping, mingling, touching, passing tea, doing things in groups. They recharge socializing. Stimulae recharges them. Heck, they love socializing so much, they forget to eat at times, and wonder why they feel so wobbly and shaky.

In terms of closeness, introverts deepen relationships, while extroverts widen their pools of trust. An extrovert can utterly be cradled by the masses, and introvert faints under public pressure.

If you are sending this kind of thing as a first message on dating apps, you are probably getting ignored a lot
