| I have never experienced jealousy, and in a way I'm in a similar situation to what you describe (but from the other side). In fact, I'd prefer it if my wife could find herself a lover or two so that I can have more time for myself and focus on my projects. She seems a bit reluctant, but on the other... |

| I really didn't think any of the dating sites were disturbing/strange. Besides, I find it pretty hot if a woman is taller than I am (I'm 6'2). |

| Heavyweight. Not a binge drinker really, although I have a pretty high tolerance these days. A bottle of wine and a few shots most nights. I'd probably top out at 2.5-3 bottles of wine, although haven't gone there for a while so not sure. |

| Welcome to WP spaghedeity :-) I'm new here myself, but I have seen a lot of people with similar issues on the site, so you are not alone. I recognize much of what you write: I know that I'm very gifted in many areas, and it has helped me hide some of the problems that I have, particularly in relatio... |

People also have different mental disorders. I also think a lot of people who have the INTJ personality could easi... |

| Well, ran out of Kahlua, so straight-up vodka now. I probably shouldn't drink more, but that buzz is just so sweet.... makes the mind go quiet. And I'll be able to fall asleep tonight, always a bonus. |

| I just can't think if I'm also looking someone in the eyes. Brain freeze, mind goes blank. I think what happens is that it's too much information to process, so my brain re-allocates computing power to process the incoming information at the expense of other activities (such as actually using my bra... |

| god, yes. I have been in phases of my life where I very literally spend every moment in public embarrassed about something or another that I've done - even when I 'know' that most of it just passed everyone else by without a second thought. To be honest, the best times in my life were with academic... |

Personally, what helped me out when I was in the pit, was the knowledge that this mind that we have is a one-time deal. Once it's over, it's over, and that's it. Which means that there's no rush to end it, because we'll get there soon enough anyway.
So I sat it through. And it got better. |

| Yes, but I've stopped worrying about it. I have face blindness and can remember very few faces, so on countless occasions I've introduced myself to people I already know. But people around me know about it, so they usually tell me in advance who is approaching so that I can recognize the person. I h... |

| Well, returning to the topic, I agree with the OP. After years of trying to fit in to NT normative monogamy, I gave up on traditional relationships and embraced relationship anarchy. I simply stopped putting labels on my relationships. I make no separation between "girlfriend"and "friend", and I don... |

12 year old scotch feels semi-fancy. I want to drink scotch that is older than me. THEN I'll really feel fancy.
Ah, love scotch, particularly islay! Favorite right now is Ardbeg Uigeadail. |
