Alright, one more Fe test:
Yes totally, that is a very bonding thing to do i think. To share the same humour. In my will to connect i can actually also be a bit pushy if the person doesnt share the fun with same intensity as me.
That video for example: when i showed that for a friend and he thought it was just amusing and not as funny as i did, i started to point out all the moves i thought was funny in an attempt to raise his fun.
Hmm...I wonder how other INTPs feel about this.
I never push things on people. Actually, I go far lengths to do the opposite. Whenever I know I'll be in a situation where I'll get some sort of reaction from another (giving a gift for instance), I prefer not to be present. If I am to share a youtube film or so, I prefer to do it via mail or msn. And I don't ask what the person thought of it. I really can't stand when people ask me what I thought of something. Usually I don't like whatever they present me. Additionally, it won't be a honest answer when they demand it from me so.
I'm not fond of opening presents when others are watching as I feel I'm expected to show some kind of emotion I can't summon at will. And even though I'm feeling grateful, you can't tell by looking at me because I get so bombarded with expectations that I freeze. So I fake a response which is probably very transparent to the observer. Even though I'm usually happy about the things I receive.
Ever since I was a child, I've known I have this reveling expression on my face. For instance when my parents discovered that a chair had been cut with scissors. I knew I'd get that "look" when they asked who did it, even though I didn't know what they were talking about. So I hid my face behind a magazine which, of course, looked even more suspicious. So my dad yelled at me to get an confession. I remember crying whilst desperately trying to explain I didn't do it. Ah, childhood.
Anyways, I still have this look when... Well, I'm not certain. In any situation I don't want it, I suppose. I can't really explain what it tells. I just know it's something not wanted. I can detect it quite easily on others as well. Some kind of discontentment.
Actually, I don't even like to tell jokes, because then I feel that others think that I'm expecting them to laugh.
And Ska, I can relate to what you said in post 44. Won't quote the whole thing. I get annoyed when someone comments a change in my behavior. For instance wearing a certain color that I never wore before. I don't know why it bothers me, it just does.
