| One time I went up north with my girlfriend to see some friends and buy some "Purple Afghani". Her friend went to the dealer's apartment to buy us the weed, then came back down and asked if we wanted to smoke with said dealer and his fiancee. We agreed and went upstairs. Naturally the place smelled ... |

| I recently dumped a girl that I had been going out with for a week. It was plain to see from the start that she was in love with me, but I was unsure of whether or not I wanted a relationship with her. However, this was the first, and probably the only time for quite a while, that I had even a chanc... |

| How much do you value what many would call your "me" time? Often I enjoy time in which I can browse the Internet freely and do as I wish, often going to sites that most people I know would not know anything about. However, the Internet is my primary distraction, often interfering with school, and so... |

| But what exactly is there that will keep me from hating myself? There's a reason people don't hate themselves for not having my special abilities: they know that they still have the ability to socialize, have friends and people who love them, and feel good about themselves overall. Having above-aver... |

| How is it that you dress? Usually I wear a black t-shirt (usually with some sort of "heavy metal"-type image)and a pair of jeans, and of course I'm told that I need a better sense of fashion if I'm going to interest any girls. |

I look at my past failures in social interaction, all the times I drove people away with my deviant behavior, the talking to myself, making weird faces, pacing back and forth... not to mention the few friends I did have that were driven away by my tears, my... |

| Okay, you want one that really gave me an extreme emotion? Last week, I called my older brother, who hadn't picked up his phone the last few times I called him. Unlike the other times, in which I called and he didn't answer, he picked up the phone. I told him about how everyone was worried because h... |

| In my experience, NTs don't really seem to mind obsession in others...as long as the obsession has something to do with sports, the pursuit of money, watching TV, and fashion. Any other passions seem to mark you as offbeat. Holy s**t, I can't believe how totally true that is. The TV thing, however,... |

Having just recently watched Dazed and Confused again, I see that there apparently was a lot more partying and less fettering back in the old days, h... |

| It sounds like she was the one with the problem. All you did was ask her a curious question simply because you want a relationship and you wanted to hear what she did to get the guy so you would follow what she did. But she took it the wrong way so it's obvious she has self esteem issues about hers... |

Needless to say, she got extremely pissed at me, telling me that if I didn't change, I would be ostracized and isolated forever. The way... |

| Just a few days ago, I was at a party with a bunch of relatives, including my father. He was obviously somewhat inebriated, but I guess not enough that it would be incredibly noticeable. I was still wary of what he might do, and was pretty sure that he would do something extremely stupid and embarra... |

| Okay, maybe I wasn't specific enough. Believe it or not, depression is not an emotion, it's more a composite of emotions. So what emotion-states do you experience in depression? Grief? Self-hatred? Inadequacy? Pretty much all of those. "Distressed" is too vague. Angry? Sad? Frustrated? Frightened? S... |

| I'm a lot more likely to sink into depression than get angry over stuff. I find it much harder to get angry than to break down and lapse into tears. Some situations are just too much for me to handle, and I think some people, over the course of my lifetime, have used it as a weakness for them to tak... |

| I rarely ever get angry at people. I'm far more likely to break down and start crying, especially in situations like the two particularly intense ones that I just mentioned. I don't think I'm really predisposed to violence or anger, especially the way I was raised (my mom was really over-protective). |

| I don't really see myself as "freaking out" over social situations, just getting bored with the conversation topics. And as for romantic relationships, I can't ever imagine myself getting enraged at my loved one, or anyone for that matter. I'm much more rational than that. Again, it's something that... |
