[split] a discussion on origins sparked by "The Order of Things"

[Mark A Becker]

I find myself comfortable around all kinds of people, except those who seem intent upon dragging others down. I am somehow blessed with an ability to get along with just about anybody.

I’m usually more comfortable in small groups, though. The dynamic of large groups gets too overwhelming. I particularly avoid scenarios like crowded shopping malls that can trigger a panic response in me.
