David Copperfield describes flirting from the perspective of an alien
#/child#but i kinda love the interiority dickens gives his characters while having his narrators describe things oblivious to social cues#relate table#diana rereads david copperfield#the line 'he hit upon a wonderful expedient for expressing himself in a neat agreeable and pointed manner#without the inconvenience of inventing conversation' struck me quite eloquently#lately ive been pondering a lot about how im apparently a good flirt but i can't do any other bits of socializing smoothly#if i express interest in ppl and their conversation then im often quite giddy and playful#and usually no almost always if someone approaches me in that mood i reciprocate it#unless im very certain that it is unwanted attention.#if someone approaches me politely and with appropriate distance im so confused and often run away#im like a deer in the headlights in most kinds of normal interactions idk what to do#conversation and self-disclosure do not come naturally to me#no i just soliloquize and sing and dance. idk how to make friends#hence im 'mysterious' and 'aloof' irl#or my old favorite... just plain shy
