I am insanely curious, but I don't invade the privacy of others for the sake of it. I ask questions instead. I have my own personal policy that if I don't know, can't know, then I simply shouldn't know. I can deal with that and I have.

Ugh I'm the same way. Curiosity can be so annoying though especially when you simply CANNOT know!

I usually have the "Fox and the Grapes" mentality when I have those moments. "Psh. Those grapes are probably sour anyway." It's how I cope with it.

There's curious, then there's crossing the line and reading someone's possibly very private emails, texts, or whatever. It's the same as reading someone's diary, really. You wouldn't want it done to you.

Anyway, I'm not nosy like that at all. If someone doesn't answer me when I ask them about something, it isn't my business.
I'm a bisexual furry, and I'm proud of it!

I LOVE my Glaceon! ^_^

Spying on friends or going through their personal property? Nah. That's not curiosity that's stalker-mode activated.

I just get a little bit irked when someone is talking about something, usually regarding me, and I'm not even allowed to know. It makes surprise parties a drag. :L

My friends don't really care and they don't have locks on their phones so I go through their stuff sometimes when I get bored. Luckily nobody likes me enough to send me anything worth hiding.

Yes I looked through my ex's personal things because I couldn't shake the feeling that they were hiding things from me. It's actually probably one of the most horrible feelings when you find what you were hoping not to find, but my only regret is not removing them from my life when that all happened.

Honestly I don't feel good about going through someone else's things. Especially when I consider them close to me so I don't condone what I did. I just felt like I was being driven insane and I had to know.

I creep on public things in such an efficient way that people think I'm going through their private stuff. If you don't want people to know, don't post about it on Facebook!!

I'm curious about many things, however I tend to avoid asking about private stuff or anything uncomfortable. If the other person does not want to respond to my curiosity, I'll respect his/her decision.

Sole exception is my crush, where things can get a bit weird but still, if she doesn't want to say it, I won't insist.

I'm a terribly nosy person but rarely do I actually invade their privacy in order to find answers. usually if the people I'm friends with aren't open enough to discuss problems with me, it'd be harder for me to do the same to them, and I don't really like that, so I try to avoid that in people that I'm close with.

What's the "Fox and the Grapes"? I've never heard that expression/story before.

It's an old Aesop's Fable about a fox that exhausts every method to get some grapes. When it gives up, it expresses distaste for the very thing it desired by saying that the grapes must be sour anyway. It's basically a story about copping an attitude when you don't get what you want.

I used it as a comparison to my own response, as it is how I normally react internally. I won't express distaste, but I do tell myself that I probably won't be interested or like it anyway.

I am very curious about people's text messages or other personal details. But I'll ask them directly If I want to know something about them and I also happen to look at my friends text messages with their female friends so I can find something funny and use that to tease them endlessly, I don't know why XD
