Default I work with a Vulkan

Do you think it's possible for a person to have no feelings, no empathy, no emotions? I work with a new doctor here who does research and teaching primarily, rather than seeing patients, and I think he might either be a robot or an alien. I'm not sure.

He is the strangest person I've ever met. He never reacts to anything with more than a calm, complacent response. He doesn't seem to have any sense of humor at all. And I wish I could explain just how odd his entire manner is. He is always stiff and controlled, formal. I mean the part in his hair alone, is like an entire metaphor for severity.

I've heard of people with no empathy and no understanding of human interactions, but I thought they were either sociopaths or had some form of autism. And he can't be either one becuase he's obviously really smart and accomplished and sociopaths are supposed to be good at fooling people by being really charismatic.

It is illogical, but fascinating. I don't think he's human.

Or maybe he's just a disciplined person who separates work and pleasure.

I want to get inside his life and figure him out. His office is spotless. It has no indication of any kind of personal life. I tried, once to engage him in a conversation about something non-work related but I was so nervous, and he had this cold dead look in his eyes so I scrapped that plan. I think I'm going to follow him home one night.

He probably hasn't always been like this. Maybe certain events in his life made him this way. It could just be easier for him.

And it's Vulcan, no K.

but yeah, I think I too, must work with a vulcan (for many years now). It's all super creepy and unnerving. ...and you are forced to deal with this person on a daily basis. Sux yo. When dealing with this person I just try to tell myself that this behavior is nothing to be taken personally when I try to open up to them but still deep down I can't help but feel like wtf dammit. Act like a fucking human being already! I think you can be professional yet human. There's no excuse for being simply a creepy robotic worker drone.

like avignon said - you should get with him - you don't have to fuck him but if you get in his dwelling then you can check if there is any heads in the freezers.

I'm sure he is beyond the reach of seduction, in the traditional sense anyway. Perhaps a racy x-ray of my chest cavity sent to his cell phone, though.



Why is it that whenever I'm around someone who behaves in one extreme, it always drives my behavior so much further in the opposite direction than my natural inclinations would ever take me? He's so serious and controlled that I get silly around him. Likewise I have a very silly and giddy coworker around whom I have trouble even cracking a smile. It's like I need that kind of balance or something.

Sociopaths fool people by acting like they have emotions, what you have is a sociopath that doesn't care enough to try to act normal. I suggest that you don't put on any lotion in his presence.

Or maybe he is a robot.

Maybe you just need to except people for who they are, and stop trying to bend them to your will.

You! You miss the whole point of...me. I not only accept people for who they are, I become fascinated by who they are. I follow them around and snoop in their faculty files. I try to infiltrate them and gain intelligence of their operations without disrupting anything. I sneak into their cars and leave no fingerprints. I don't try to change them, I change myself to make the general atmosphere more balanced. When I don't like someone, I stay away from them.

I guess I am more of the opposite. I have goofy friends and serious friends. I'm more serious when I am with serious people, and I am more goofy when I am with the goofy people. That being said, if a person is too serious then I will be extra goofy just to fuck with them.

Which annoys you more, someone that is way too serious, or someone that is way too goofy?

He had a bandage on his right hand this morning. I asked him about it and he seemed to have forgotten it but he covered it up. That was courteous, right?

He said he sliced it open while working at home and sewed it up himself, gave himself 11 stitches. Gave himself stitches!


At the end of my lunch break I saw him pull into the parking lot. He drives a navy jeep cherokee and he had a dog in the back of it. It was like a german shephard I think. It was shaggy. Before he got out, he leaned into the back and I swear it looked like he was looking into the dog's eyes and telling it something important. It licked his chin and laid down in the back. It was kind of cute and sweet. He must have some feelings if he likes dogs.

After he went inside, I went up to the jeep to try to say hi to his dog, but when it saw me at the window it started snarling and growling at me. I was pretty scared. I ran.


What is with this guy?! He's so weird!!

if you wanna get to the bottom of this guy I suggest you check out the work of Dr. Paul Ekman. he is the foremost authority on facial expressions in relation to emotion:
http://www.paulekman.com/

there are 7 universal facial expressions, and thousands of learned cultural expressions. According to Ekman even people who have learned to control thier emotions, still "leak" clues to what they are feeling through subtle expressions known as micro expressions. I guarantee this guy is exhibiting mirco expressions, you just need to learn to read them.

but keep in mind that you might learn to recognize a subtle emotion on his face, but there is still no way to read what that emotion pertains to or who it might be directed at. for that you need to be able to ask the right questions and get him to open up.

On page four of this thread, you are going to be writing about how you had to shoot the dog. Because it knew.
