'Hi! Can we chat?'

When some random person pecks on my inbox window with 'just wanna chat' so I tell them right out the gate what we will NOT be chatting about and ~ Poof!! They gone!
I used to say 'Hi' and see how it goes but my new tactic saves me a whole lotta bullsh!t...

Peck, poof, gone... Reminds me of my ginger cat who used to shake and twist when he saw birds below my front window. He'd quiver, chatter, and now he doesn't. I hope your new tactic has not left you this way.

@SW-User No, I'm not that way. I still chatter, I just don't like the guise of a civilized person that I might honestly make a connection with who turns out to be a sex crazed lunatic after the first sentence. So when I reply immediately how this is gonna go and they disappear, that shows me who they truly are.

@Tumbleweed Oh that's a different story and of course on here. I hope you learn ways to see through those guises, as I know they betrayed what should be a trust.

@SW-User I definitely trust my instinct more now than ever before

@Tumbleweed I can still wish you would quiver, shake, from the sight of a bird. I want my cat to teach me his excitement that seems to be gone from him. I worry about him sometimes, he is just becoming older, like us all?

I hope that trusting your instinct is healing you. I really know how much we need that.
