| Intimacy is a form of trust. Meaning you have to open yourself up to someone who you want that closeness with. For me it takes a long time for me to feel comfortable with someone because by nature I am a touchier. When I feel close to someone I touch them in mid-conversation, but within my family hu... |

| "The worst of it is that extroverts have no idea of the torment they put us through. Sometimes, as we gasp for air amid the fog of their 98-percent-content-free talk, we wonder if extroverts even bother to listen to themselves." This is so true I can't tell you how many times I just tune people out ... |

| I have got to admit when I thought that a guy was watching me it was kind of comforting in a weird way. Like he was watching over me. Then I got creepy and stalking and it went crazy after that. Congrats on the new friend hope everything works for you. |

| It's the roll of the dice. Depends on the women and how you approach it. Leading people on and not being fully honest from the beginning is a bad decision on your part. If you could detect feelings and your feelings where changing you should have said something because this is letting the other pers... |

| I have come to realized that I do want to be social, but not all the time. I had the perfect friendships they knew I was anti-social and only invited me once and a while and I was okay with it. For me being around too many people can become overwhelming at times. You do need interaction with the out... |

| I can feel empathy for someone who is in pain, although I don't see what the point is anymore so I try to avoid that. It's more that I get the impression they are in pain than that I really know they are. I do avoid paining people unnecessarily. This I totally understand. I feel empathy for people ... |
