Sometimes people think you're "creepy" just for making connections and poking around a bit. Like it's a bad thing if you remember something that someone said before, and made a connection between that and a thing they're saying now, and asked them about it, you know? It seems like sometimes people just don't want you to put 2 and 2 together regarding them and it's weird if you do, but if you don't do this kind of thing a little bit, I think it takes away a lot of the fun of talking to people.

This sort-of happened recently with someone here, but it wasn't really a big deal, and I'm not talking about them.
