'I have been in that girl's position. I was 17 and he was 26. We were partying at home with a couple of friends (I was a freshman in college and lived with my partner, who was also in attendance), and...|||@RiverSong  Probably should try saying it a bit more often, or explaining to him that you often show your love rathen than verbalize it, such as when you pick up a pack of his favorite snacks while...|||I'd be willing to say it's insecurity.  I said I love you quite often in my last relationship because it was a good way of checking in on my partner and making sure we were okay. If he didn't...|||Once upon a time, I was at a dinner party with friends, the only female and only INTJ of the group. I had a rather sheltered childhood and adolescence, so they've kind of taken it upon themselves to...|||Hmm....I'd say I'm a Deist. I'm sure someone had a hand in things at some point in time, be it God literally creating man from dirt, a giant turtle rising from the sea, or even extraterrestrial...|||Pretty much all of these. Except for me, the slightest unwelcome sound or even movement absolutely pisses me off, though I try to hide my anger. Is it so hard to sit still and sit quietly? FFS......|||Hello, Sweetie.  Whovian references aside, I always intimidated the upperclassmen XD The two juniors and one senior would joke around with me one minute, then tell me how I scared them the next....|||When I was on the drumline in high school, my fellow drummers spread this amazing rumor that I was actually an undercover spy sent to assassinate the leaders of the community and slowly take over the...|||Oh good lord I don't even know where to start. It's not like there's a power button or sleep mode or instructional manual. I can't even fathom how to go about turning off the one thing that controls...|||Chances are, they were idiots. If they were really mindless strangers, then there's your reason. Every action must have a purpose, an objective, a plan, a rhyme and reason, if you will. I get...|||Artist and Author are my own thing. I have thousands of worlds in my mind and love bringing them to life, giving them proper meaning. I love building worlds, designing creatures, writing lore. It's...|||I dislike being outnumbered. It makes for too much stupid in the room.  But seriously, I love a good debate, especially one-on-one. I'm not really allowed to do it anymore though, since I can be an...|||It was more meant as a gentle jab to the stereotype ^^; I know everyone's different :)    These are quite interesting :) Thank you!    Yeeaaah....that sounds like the story of my life right...|||Was privately suggested that I add examples...  When in a public setting, even just a dinner date with close friends, I'm very submissive. I put everyone before me, even if something makes me...|||Now, I know you may be thinking, An INTJ with low self-confidence? Are you kidding me? And to an extent, I agree. Which really isn't helping my case here.  I have always been an INTJ. My mother...|||I have an INTP friend. We get along rather well, although it took us a little while to compromise and figure out that we needed planned spontaneity. Compromises, compromises XD  Back to the topic...|||I would venture to say a lot of NT's are sapiosexual to a some extent. I love it when my partner talks nerdy to me. Brainy is the new sexy, after all.|||I have always known I was an INTJ. My mother is a psychologist and tested me several times while growing up. Always an INTJ. So yes, I would say my personality is stable. I have always taken the...|||I would post mine if I was at near my desktop. I don't have it available on my mobile (which is what I do most of my posting on).  It's nice to see I'm not the only one who does this or made...|||No. He is pansexual though. A true Jack Harkness if I ever met one. But he doesn't love them the way he loves me. They're just fun for him. Everyone wins :)  I'm more asexual, but that's due to...|||-tilts head- This is a bad thing?|||Couldn't agree with you more on that. Our closest mutual friend once commented that our relationship was its own breed of unusual. -shrugs- Ah, well. Whatever works, right? And it's been working for...|||I wrote one for my partner, and was wondering if anyone else had done something similar. Yes, I know there's the Compleat guide and a couple other popular ones. What I'm wondering is if you have ever...|||I'd say so.  His friends are incredibly jealous of his hall pass. I can't help but laugh when they ask me about it. Such a silly little thing to get so worked up over.|||Your secret's safe with me. I don't have the social skills to relay this news, and even if I did, they would think I'm on another sleep-deprived stint of rambling nonsense. Perhaps we could reach a...|||Ooh, this thread sates my logophilia :kitteh: My favorite words are twelve, meandering, mercurial, and tsunami, but sapiosexual keeps coming up today, so I suppose that's my word of the...|||I like the idea of subtle requests. That's definitely something we will work on.  Perhaps I should supply him with sticky notes. He could write his question or such down and I can get to it when I...|||UPDATE  I ended up writing him an owner's manual. Yes, you may laugh.  I am horrible at talking, especially when it comes to heartfelt communications. I decided to just write it all down and...|||I'll make a note about my tone. Probably won't be able to make a huge change, but I imagine the effort would at least be appreciated.|||Does my common sense count?|||OMG WTF BRO: Ah, yes :) thank you! We have had several you aren't speaking my language conversations, which usually end up in the typical you're not a robot, come cuddle result. It's annoying,...|||1. I'll see if I can do that. I tend to be direct and to the point. I suppose I'll have to slow down and explain the process....  2. I cannot count how many times he has said something like that. ...|||Blunt and direct, then brace myself. Simple enough... Knowledge I cannot obtain...gonna take a while to get over that....but okay... Occasional bossitude. That's fairly reasonable. Yes master....|||That's the thing. I can be curt. I can be brusque. I don't, however, go around trying to push or pull him with aggression. I may snap if he persistently interrupts me while I'm in my mind palace or...|||Yes....adorably evil Dalek kittens...|||Welcome! :)|||Hello and welcome!|||Hello and Thank You! :)|||-crawls out of hiding place-  Um...hi! Nice to meet you!...i think...if it wouldn't be too much of a bother, I could use a little help...   My partner and I have been together for well over six...|||My partner was just as apprehensive until I sat him down and told him basically the same thing you've said here. He was hesitant, because he doesn't like labels, and when you start throwing the word...|||Ten minutes early is five minutes late. This was drilled into my being by my military father (ARMY) and my high school band director. I have always been antsy about times. I have panic attacks if...|||I tolerate most people. Put up with some. Deal with others.  I love my family in that typical filial manner. And even then, it's just the primary nucleus, plus my grandmother.  But my partner...i...|||I am a friend TO a lot of people, yet I only have a handful of people I am friends WITH. I consider someone my friend when I no longer feel the need to wear a mask around them. If I'm comfortable...|||I'm fond of fiction (sci-fi, fantasy, crime, mystery, horror) and practical non-fiction (theories, survival guides, history, and philosophy).|||Situation: Family reunion (that I may or may not have been bribed into attending, only to realize there were triple the amount of people I was expecting... And so many of them are ENFP and ESFJ...) ...|||Actually, I kind of relate. I was doing so well, graduated high school less than a month after turning 17, had a full ride through college...but lost all drive and motivation. Now I've put college on...|||You could always try going around shouting Vatican Cameos and look for people ducking, or Blink and you're dead and look for either frozen people  with eyes wide open or people looking around...|||Mine's got to be that moment in a discussion/debate/argument when I realize I'm not 100% correct.   Or maybe it's dealing with the people who excessively sugar-coat bad news.  I don't really have...|||Hello! I'm new as well, although I'm more of a James Moriarty type :) good luck finding your kindred spirits!|||Greetings!  I go by SAM, which stands for Socially Awkward Mastermind. It's a name I've used for quite a few years now. Sort of my way of embracing my flaws. My mother, ever the psychologist,...'
