A fucking black hole
1y - 22y - Still passionate about computers. I can code in 5 languages right now. Learned QBasic when I was 10 and Java when 14. I coded 100-200 programs just for fun while studying for my school computer exams. I had a solid grip and managed to constantly surprised my tutor. Took up coding again in junior college. I am an intermediate level coder now who is verifiably better than my some of my relatives and friends who have a CS degree.

5-14y - Sketching. Then using wax crayons and pastels as I grew older. My painting skills were quite impressive for simply being a hobby insofar my paintings have been hung for display in school. I became a good sketch artist and painter when I turned 10. 10 was also the time when I started a comic book with my friend wherein I wrote most of the plot. It was a hit among my classmates and class teacher. Sadly, I did not practise my skills after I turned 13-14. Although I don't practise it as vigorously, I can still sketch pretty well. My books' pages' top and bottom ends are full of doodles.

5-12 - Toy guns. I developed a rabid interest in guns after I turned 4. At the age of 5-6, I was already assembling and dissassembling most of my toy guns and even modifying them. Electronics were my specialty as a kid. I would often be shouted at for breaking many electronics. I had already figured out of a microcircuit board worked. I was extremely adept at playing video games by 10 insofar playing counter strike source on Hard as I nearly turned 12. I had already devoured lots of games 12 and was known in my neighborhood for my knowledge of computers. I showed a strong mechanical aptitude and was already studying how guns work by 11. I was very much into cars and had learned to draw 3D models well by the age of 9.

6y - 13y - Sports. I started gymnastics at 5 and was a professional till I turned 12. I was good at athletes and chess too. Parkour became my preferred sports from 12 till 16.

10 months till 2 - very emotionally sensitive but physically tough. I never deterred from climbing on top of things. I knew most of the keyboard keys by 11 months and started using the computer all by myself by 1.

2 - present - Socially perceptive but generally apathetic. Lone wolf on most part with very few loyal and close presents. Have strong morals and was and am outraged by injustice.

2 - 4 - By 3 I was uttering long sentences in perfect contexts. I had told my dad's aunt this when she feigned and narrated a fake story of her house being flooded during the monsoons - 'Then go and beg at the railway station with the steel bowl.' (I had picked this up from father cussing at somebody)

5 till present - Extremenly argumentative. Often questioning things. Turned atheist around 12. Was and am able to determine people's emotions, motives and intention well.

5 - till present - Emotion regulation issues. Physically used to lash out sometimes as a kid.

Path with heart
I don't give any weight to MBTI anymore. In terms of psychoanalysis my life-patterns closely follow Reich's descriptions of schizoid character traits to a chilling degree. All of the things I used to identify with as INFJ traits are basically coping mechanisms which have softened the more work I've done on myself.

0-2 - Experienced a birth trauma; I was blind for the first 4-5 months of my life, was severely ill for the first year, and was very anxious. My Mum had PTSD throughout my infancy and attempted suicide around age 2-3.

1-5 - I was always developmentally a few steps behind other children and had communication issues (stutter, etc). My first pre-school teachers confused this for retardation and believed I'd never be 'normal', so my Mum took me out and home schooled me quite intensively until primary school.

3-23 - Became more inward, imaginative and cerebrally focused; enjoyed day-dreaming, music, reading and writing; would often fantasise about different fiction story ideas; started excelling academically and peaked with my post-graduate degree.

4-19 - I started withdrawing into video-games and became increasingly addicted. I was shy, socially clumsy and showed traits of dissociation and depersonalisation. Never felt any emotions and had a hard time feeling connected to my body or other people. It's hard to explain but I felt more like a disembodied consciousness.

19-23 - Experienced a mental breakdown and a lot of upheaval and instability. Patterns of social withdrawal, anxiety and isolation started setting in. Withdrew into intensive book & art study to keep me anchored. I became more self-obsessed and self-referential in my thinking as I was sorting through my internal process and became more divorced from others and the culture around me.
