Do you seem "predictable"?

Post Reply New Topic

I usually do the same thing always, I have a routine I stick to all the time. Today I did my normal routine alittle bit earlier then usual.... Well anyways I'm at the gym, this creepy guy always stares at me, and today I went alittle earlier to the gym then usual, and I'm just about to leave, and the creepy guy pulls up in his truck and goes "Hey, your early today!" I was like in shock, like wow, he knows the exact time I'm there. It creeped me out, but thats not the first that happened before. Everytime I go buy crickets for my lizards, I get my money in alittle cup thing ahead of time, so its easier to pay and leave without having to chat, well everytime I go now, everybody knows exactly what I want, and when I'm there. One lady already had my crickets in two bags put aside waiting for me, and when she gave them to me, she goes, "Your early today! Again I was just in shock, am I that predictable? Does anybody else seem very predictable?

Oh, for sure. There's this chinese food place I frequent, and I always get the general Tso's chicken. Before I even say a word, they're already writing it down.

I don't think it's a bad thing. Our actions just make sense, and that makes them predictable.

Yeah every day when I go to the company cafeteria to buy lunch they already know what to make me and usually already have it prepared.

Its not necessarily a bad thing though.. many NTs Ive spoken with have told me that my predictable routines are strangely reassuring.. something they can count on in a chaotic universe I suppose.

I had a downstairs neighbor who once told me two things: One, that she stopped using her alarm clock when I moved in, because I got up at the same time every morning, and when I put my shoes on to leave, the sound of them told her it was time for her to get up, LOL. Another thing, I used to run this air purifier for a white noise so I could sleep. It was an older model, and when I put it on my floor, it vibrated. I asked her if it bothered her, and she said it was kind of soothing.

Unfortunately, predictability can cause problems. I used to take a walk up my street everyday, and this guy started watching for me and following me. I varied times, cut over side streets, and still he managed to find me. So I had to change my route and times entirely. It was extremely annoying.

indeed, my routine makes me very predictable as far as where I am in space and time, however people dont think I have a predictable personality or mood, it always changes, despite my routine.

I have routine cycles where just when people start to get used to it, I change. I remember going into a bar and ordering a cocktail and the bartender got mad because he had already opened my beer.
I was much more predictable with food when I was younger. Late night breakfast, anyone could order for me because I always got the same, bizarre food. (Chicken Fried Steak and eggs, homefries)

my whole family knows this. when my mom was talking about me back in 2000 i was heavily into reading about aliens and watching the weather channel. i heard her say, "yeah you know richard, hes in his routine as always" and im shure the other person was all "oh" like no bigtime suprises there

If ever someone wanted to take me out I'd be easy to find.

1) Health club every Monday, Wednesday & Friday from 1100 to 1400 where I do exactly the same workout, just increasing the weight or resistance as I get fitter.

2) Ham radio club every Thursday from 1800 to 2130

3) Jazz club every Saturday from 2000 until they throw us out

4) Shopping every Friday night from 1900 until 2100 when I buy exactly the same food, after which we come home and watch all the CSI episodes we've taped

Way too predictable.

My mother called me unpredictable before and I was relived; imagine if she called me predictable in front of others; then they'd think I was boring!


Then later, she said several times that she knew how I operated. She SO did not understand me. She only understood the surface of my reputation, not my character.

I guess I am not as predictable as you guys, anymore. But HEY, I have people that know me and what I want and WHEN and remark if things change, so I AM somewhat predictable.

When I was attending my course...I used to go to a cafe each morning break and order the same thing. As soon as I walked in, she wrote down my order without even speaking to me!
When I came home for lunch each day, mum had already prepared it because she knew exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it.

Now I am not at course anymore...I am still predictable but in different ways. For example, I still have the same thing for lunch at the same time. But I don't think that I am as predictable as I used to be.
