i can not stand not having a seat,
and having to stand does not sit well with me.
that is a joke too.
(i have to say in all seriousness that i am swamped by the social regulations of metropolitan integration so i just say my snippet and leave.
sorry about that. i have almost zero reciprocative ability. it is not a snobbish response but an inevitable exit from a system i can not integrate with.)
thanks for the invitation but i feel squashed even if a seat is found for me.
We can find you a big comfy armchair and allow you plenty of space if that makes you more at ease

well you are a sweetheart for saying that, and i have to accept that i am not a likeable person because i think that an armchair in bedlam is not something wherein would wish to sit.
i am very sorry to say that i am vastly handicapped in a social way compared to you and i very much appreciate your allowances for me, but i know in the long run, you would not get any benefit from being in my company because i do not really have a social soul.
many other posters write stuff that tries to discount the worth of social integration but they are wrong. they have not thought it through. you can offer me a big comfy chair in the midst of your social world, but i have to say i could never pay you back for it.
i do not understand much about other peoples internal lives, and i so much wish i could.
all i have is money and i am very poor in every other way. money pays for stuff in my mind, but my spiritual contributions i consider worthless because i am so shallow of wit that all this conversation i read in this forum is largely gobbledegook to me.
i am going to bed very soon and i will think of your gesture of including me, and i will remonstrate to myself about being unable to "join in".
i am not particularly mentally ret*d, but i am spiritually ret*d to a serious degree.
i guess this thread should not be tarnished with my dour response, but i will say that i appreciate seriously your invitation, and i sadly have to decline on the grounds that i will never be able to fluently reciprocate with anyone, and always they will be left with my spiritual debt.
to bed i go.
