I learned to 6 years ago, Although I don't consider myself a decent programmer, learning to code has helped me a great deal in understanding problems and approaching problems systematically.

Most of the world seems to be thinking not based off of logic but through thinking patterns inherited from their environment/society. Especially in personal relationships people are generally not as logic driven. In my life sometimes my friends and girlfriend are sloppy, sometimes I am sloppy but I seem to be making decisions based on logic on everything and completely forgot my old lame way of thinking. Although I have a healthy social life, have a lot of laughs every day. I get called machine or robot sometimes. Sometimes I am afraid they are right. (Not literally!)

How do you hackers/programmers who are driven by logic keep friendships and relationships?
