Sounds passive-agressive to me.|||I'm no good at typing others, but my experiences on this forum tell me that even within a single type (my corpus being the INTJs here) there is a great deal of variation. So, even though the shared...|||I enjoy both.|||Dry humour (wit, clever use of language, deadpan humour) will make me laugh out loud, whether I hear it or read it. It's also the kind of humour I cultivate myself.|||For me, it's like a reflex. I can no longer count the number of times my mother read me a newspaper article, usually ending with a variaton of 'How could anyone do that', and my immediate response...|||That's actually the first angle on altruism I've ever heard that could tempt me to give it a try.|||And on that topic:  You figure out plot twists long before anyone else does (dampening the excitement about their discovery quite a bit).|||quod erat demonstrandum :proud:|||This.   It's exactly what goes on in my head.|||That's an ideal group you're describing. Personally, I've yet to see one of those.   Group dynamcis fascinate me, because you see so many patterns repeat themselves (just join a few clubs and...|||Bliss!  But we should employ ghostwriters or, better yet, use other people's loveletters in the first place. This way, we can enjoy the kick, but direct the scorn for the mistreatment of grammar...|||I keep hearing females preen about their (supposed) superiority over males because of their (apparently) magical powers of multitasking [add glitter, sparkle and costume change at will].  Leaving...|||Rawrrrr... :blushed:  :laughing:|||This forum still spooks me sometimes O_O.  I had the same experience only very recently and since the person in question was blatantly unwilling to evolve in any direction (much less the one I...|||I've just been accused of not being open about things that annoy me about a person who considered themselves in a loose friendship with me, and of suddenly, and in written form, burning the bridge...|||I could tell you what I've had people tell me before: variations of 'You're still young', 'There's plenty of time for it to happen', 'It'll happen when you least expect it', and so forth. But those...|||Well, I certainly wouldn't mind that. But I won't be holding my breath either; I have plenty of other uses for it now. :wink:|||For me the trick is to make the rational decision not to act while I'm furious, find a secluded space where I can analyze the hell out of my fury and then make a rational and logic-based decision how...|||Well, it is a question of technique. And size.|||Doormatdom in general is pretty off-pissing, I'd say.|||Indeed. It just took me a while to realize that. For the longest time I was just too focused on finding a partner, because only with him life could be worthwhile (or so the reasoning went).  These...|||I'm with you two. Because of it, I decided a while ago that instead of waiting for that future to happen (by which I mean: that person to appear), I'd take my life in my own hands and make it one...|||I see your farters and raise you the cigar smokers...dick waving assholes.|||I confess that I've been humming Dr. Horrible songs on and off and at the oddest moments for the last three days.|||In fact, 100 should be the only number that can. :wink:   And, fittingly, here goes my own post #100.|||Yeah, that's me.

My own mathematical and basic physics skills are either rusty or forgotten, so there's work to do if I decide to try and understand the acutal...|||I beg to differ.

But in that case you'll have your answer, too,...|||This is exactly how I deal with my feelings and it's working very well.  I also feel lucky to have found a person to occasionally bounce my results off of; it helps me check if my perspective is...|||No, but if I like you, I'll tell you what I did and you can write it in your own words.|||I know the problem and have been through the process (including the overcompensation), but I came out alright at the other end. It may take some time, but it can be done.|||Yeah, I figured as much. :frustrating: Sorry I really don't have any wisdom on that, besides 'knowing the problem is the first step to solving it'.|||I avoid working in groups.  But that's not necessarily because I expect too much of others. Quite the contrary, really.|||Naa, that's fine. Getting insulted is totally not INTJ :laughing:  Ah, but wisecracking probably is... I lose.|||He's probably just shy, Glitter Girl!  But make him see that you only use your glitter for GOOD and not for EVIL and he will totally fall in love with you, too!|||Only one 'thanks' for my previous post. And that's almost 30 minutes ago. Don't you guys like me? Why don't you guys like me?  Was it something I said? Something I didn't say? You're all so...|||How awesome is that! I just joined facebook and have, like, 500 new friends already!!!111|||What lirulin said. :happy:|||I do apologize. :proud:|||No, I won't.
