There is a madness to my method. Smile

I am curious about a lot of things, but I don't try to figure out other people's business.

One of the reasons that I ask is b/c some titles of threads here make me ponder which ofcourse makes me curious nosey, why someone would ask such a question. I guess it is also relative what I would call nosey someone else would call curious hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm get it Tongue Out

To me the difference is this. Let's say you have a friend over for a meal and she doesn't drink the kiddush wine. Curious would be - oh, maybe she's expecting, I wonder. Nosy would be to discuss it with all your friends to put together clues to determine one way or another.

Tefila, why did you change the title of your thread. I am very curious to know how nosy people are Smile

Curious is wanting to know more about something. Nosy is wanting to know more about something that is none of your business.

Or curious is wanting to know more about something that is none of your business. Nosy is going ahead and asking about it.

curious = that which we want to know for fun

nosy = that which we think we need to know and is none of our business
