Does this usually go over well?
I don't mean to offend, but if I were that lone person on the train, I would honestly find this approach creepy and wonder what you were after. I don't usually enjoy conversation with strangers anyhow, but this seems like an especially unnatural conversation...
Just chiming in with my own approach.
I doubt I could even bring myself to kill my own meat. But I do eat it. I find that grains cause me a great deal of trouble. If my dinner centers on grains, I will wake up with swollen hands and feet in the morning. They also make me more lethargic and...

Grrr. That list offends me.
Do you still have the book?
I'd be very curious to see what the author suggests for ESFJs. ;)

I'm sure I have over 500. Possibly over 1000, but counting that high doesn't sound like fun. That is just my library over the past three years. I ended up giving my first library away when I moved out of the country for a year.
I could afford to have fewer though. Somehow I've ended up with...
I was relatively contented during a period of my life in which I believed in the redemptory value of suffering.
But the key word there is "relatively". Even back then, I ended up dwelling a lot on the injustice and pain I saw, especially in my volunteer work. And I still knew I was weird...
I think being alone makes me even more rigid and unable to bond properly. I've known plenty of NPs but it doesn't mitigate my sense of being an outsider.
I bet you are smart and just very nice and modest as well. :)
I can identify with coming across as dumb when it comes to small talk. In...
