You walk into your weekly team meeting, your usual coffee shop, or a lecture hall, and, without even thinking, you walk right to the same spot. Someone else is there? You feel a strange, almost irrational irritation. Sounds familiar?

This doesn’t mean you're boring. What you are doing, according to psychologists, is actually very clever.
