Hold on....
I might have just written my own aphorism.
'Measure twice, cut once' is about as deep as I can go these days. Not related to woodwork either. Just a life truth. As I've got older I have lost patience for 'chatter' there's no doubt there. People around me sometimes converse in groups like starlings and I just wait for them to finish talking quite so much. I just think I have heard it all before, why keep repeating it?
I might just be broken.

I've been labelled anti social for all my life because I 've followed that philosophy since secondary school
But lately i've discovered that I'm only a "social introvert"

I suppose the next step is being a grumpy old social introvert.
