Since it is more and more obvious that my database about social things needs an upgrade I have one favour to ask.Some of the things are already posted.
What I am asking is that people read this and post how they think they would feel in each of the situations.
For me this happens all the time and usually is it is linked with my scientific knowledge.
Situation 1
For example if someone asks me "what's the time". I will take a look at the sky, raise my hand and measure the sky with my fingers and in the end I will say my conclusion in a few secounds.(no one in the group has a watch)
But when I turn to others everybody are staring at me with WTF on their faces and they don't believe in my calculation. But when they verify somewhere they are "shocked" even more because I work with +/- 10 minutes accuracy.
So they desire explanation how to hell did I do it because entire thing is a little bit creepy for them.
When I am done with explanation I get a friendly "You are so weird" or "Get a life freak" and I take it as a joke or compliment.
I did this 4 times.
Actually this skill is great for people who want to be independent.
SItuation 2
I am future geologist and imagine that I am explaining how some rocks are created to someone.Person simply want to know.
I say" That rocks are created in shallow sea of continental shelf of the north-east Africa some 230 million years ago".
But that is not so strange if you overlook the fact that they are on the mountain thousand meters above sea level and sea is nowhere near that mountain, And to make things even more drastic we are talking about area in the middle of the Europe.
At first the other person is thinking that this is a some weird INTJ joke. But if I persevere in my idea which is geological mainstream the others think you have totally lost it and respond with something like.
"First you enjoy in studing rocks and for second you claim something totally insane so if we take average of those two you are crazy."
If the other person actually desides to belive me there will suddenly be a very large hole in his/her picture of reality what is for sure, unpleasant feeling.
To be honest this is one of the main reasons why I love geology - because it is so much against common sense.
Should I keep more knowledge for myself?
I know that they give me a look but I am interested in what happen in their heads. If it is possible to determine that.
People can say how would they feel because this feelings are probably similar to theirs.
