I feel more like an outside observer when watching NTs interact. It's kinda like Spock observing human behavior. He and I don't seem to get it 100%, but unlike Spock, I would like to think I have at least a limited understanding of it.

I'm always a good observer--not necessarily a good interpreter.

I used to try to talk to myself in "NT dialogue."

I think Spock, at times, had a wry understanding of human behavior. This is indicated by his arched eyebrows.
