I am not used to feeling this possessive. Or maybe possessive is the wrong word. Rather, needing confirmation of want and mutual feeling. Pushing it away might make the bird take flight, pulling it closer is also an invitation to escape. And neither seems to work; while the first can create mutual distrust, the second might annoy to a point of idiocy. It is known to have happened before. Maybe I am simply not used to this.
Also, I am known to be quite thoughtless, and will say or do whatever takes my fancy, which can bring normally placid people to the boil. Is content to lie around and easily bored too conflicting?
