Input Junkie

This feels about right, both in the pattern of interactions and your note that catlike people shouldn't have to adapt to doglike behavior. It has a lot of the same feel as introvert vs. extrovert interactions, where extroverts want to interact just for the sake of interacting and introverts are likely to look a little baffled and ask "why?". Being able to fake extroversion and understand extroverts has advantages and is a useful adulthood skill, but it doesn't mean I have to become one (they ought to have their adulthood skills as well). I also disagree that PUA tactics have their good points- the basic methodology is pointed at manipulating people, and I don't like the idea of interacting with people who want to manipulate me. I'll be occupying a windowsill by myself, and purring, if anyone needs me.
