| Thank you all very, very much for replies. I rememberd how on most of my early birthdays, well, I always made some scene. I wanted kids to come over and still, most of the time it ended in frustration. Later I did not even want to celebrate. I also found one tape from my friends birthday. I was 5 at... |

Viscerotonia = 17
Somatotonia = 10
Cerebrotonia = 21
Scores should range between 8 and 24.
Scores from 8 to 13 could be considered "low,"
from 14 to 18 "medium,"
from 19 to 24 "high." |

| I've given this lot of thought and I don't know what really to say except that, I understand in theory. It's not hard for me to figure out why people complain and than do the opposite, I do that as well, because sometimes things I like annoy me. I said I would not spend any more time playing video g... |

| I am not really sure if sensitivity is what leads to me being upset, or does me being upset increase my sensitivity. But there is certainly a connection. |

I don't remember many activities or people, until elementary school. I went through old photos and I couldn't really see any sign... |

Despite my parents urging me to stay for new years I felt no compulsion to be around people. I dont see why people ... |

I am also worried how would I react if everyone started blowing horns, that sound startles me even when I am walking. If roads were mostly empty, I probably wouldn't have a problem. |

And not all NT's have pack menta... |

I laugh often to thing that come to my mind and than everyone is wondering why am I laughing, and I can't explain. It's just an image that pops in my head, or some association.
It's not so often as when I was in school but it still happens from time to time. |

If so, what was that like? Have you, since then, found out why you've always felt so different and what the "missing puzzl... |
