Nice picture ! You look so respectful !

I have the same problem as you, but there are people I connect to. It's rare, though. Let's start with the people the repulse me. And I mean that literally, in a very subtle physical way. Like magnets. I had an appointment with a fellow student and the minute I saw him walking my I was...

lol

lol your profile made me freak out. I was like "what? ads on the INTP forum ! Then I thought I had a virus.

I didn't finish my BA. I got (sorta) kicked out of the school. I have a different BA (literature and linguistics). I'm currently contacting schools that will let me in a Masters program without finishing the BA. One in Chicago said yes and that I seemed like a decent candidate but it...

Interesting about mental draining by other people. I have one draining ex that seems to feed on my positive emotions and if I talk to him for more than thirty minutes and share details of my life with him, get excited about something I learned or someone I met, I don't know what he does, but...

Mine depends on my mood. But with stress, like you said, it's a disaster. I was so nervous during a test once that the whole essay was chicken scratch and me wildly crossing out mistakes (forgot whiteout) that the teacher didn't smile at me for three weeks. I had to win back her respect and...

How's Michigan? I might come home for Christmas. Ahhh...that lovely slush and gray.

Feel free to explain all the metaphors to me!

Maybe doing a master's thesis? If I can get my act together to apply before the deadline... or if I wrote down the right date for the appointment I have with the dean of a new school (didn't get along with the others in my old school). Maybe coming back to the states? Staying in France...

I was very shy when I didn't know people. I was held back in pre-school one year because of shyness. Then, since it was a private school, we knew the same kids from age 7 until age 18, so I was sort of the weird outcast but sometimes would be funny and loud. It was a pretty conservative...

Same here. I was a high school dropout due to some bad family dynamics and some drug use in the family, death in the family, etc. and I was really rebellious and pretty emotionally lost. Now, I have the most original lifestyle of them all, have moved halfway across the globe while they...

That book's almost inaccessible to me. I think it's kind of hard to read. I like his other works, I think they are pretty important to the history of philosophy. That is, if you can ignore some of the things he says in his aphorisms about religion (ex. Christianity is for ugly people). It's...

Last night's dream : I forgot the first third of the dream. I might come back to it. In the middle of the dream, though, I (but I had long, long thick blond wavy hair, was almost given the image of the prettiest but sort of airheaded girl that I was in elementary school with) was playing...

Ok, so this dream that I had, I've forgotten some of the beginning, it's a bit patchy : Somehow, my sister wanted me to change cars with her. I think it was my sister. The police were involved. We had to trick them or something, play nice. I ended up parking that car in our garage. On...
