I for one am always skeptical of overly helpful neighbors. Seriously there are boundaries. Now I had a real mess my place but I decided that when enough was enough I'd get someone to help me clear out things and I actually have a large burn pit on the far corner of my lot now to deal with junk and garbage

That makes sense to me. The motivations behind overly helpful people are usually those that create unnecessary attachment and/or drama.

In my experience, overly helpful people always have an hidden agenda. The ones I know help in order to convince themselves that they are better than the one being helped, in other words, the helpful acts functions as some kind of narcissistic supply.

It is always a good idea to be wary of those that are overly nice, I agree.

Do you tend to rely on logic or intuition when you need to make quick decisions under pressure?

I don't really respond to pressure. I am going to make decisions, regardless of the situation, with logic and reason.

Just a curiosity: is your political view libertarian?

I don't discuss politics. Too much of an emotional minefield that I prefer not to engage in. Neurotypicals don't seem to be able to keep their feelings out of the discussion, so I don't participate.

Athena, do you consider that your emotions and ability to focus on something are superior to other people's? If so, why?

What do you mean, my emotions and ability to focus being superior? I am not clear as to what you are referring to.

Sorry, but you're mistaken. English is not my native language; the text I shared with you was originally written in Spanish, and I only used DeepL and GPT a bit to translate it into English and to make some minor stylistic and formatting corrections.

Ah, so that’s why.
