'I drove 4.5 hours today, honestly don't remember most of it. My mind was elsewhere. Glad I didn't crash into anything. This is fairly normal for me and long drives.|||I've suddenly and completely cut people out of my life on several occasions. But it takes something really bad for me to do that. I also like to think I'm pickier now, and have invested in better...|||I've never heard that said before, and I don't particularly agree with it. Not with something serious anyway. If I didn't have much invested, I may just take it as a sign that it wasn't going to work...|||.|||At least I didn't get a hangover.|||Need to stop talking for a second and concentrate on how much vodka I'm pouring. I saw how full the glass got but didn't really comprehend how much it actually was at the time.....because that was...|||I see I'm not the only one with a thing for pens.  Or that eats different parts of a meal in a specific order. I also have to finish one before I move onto the next (then a waiter comes by, asks...|||I don't really consider myself to be cold. I'd have to really  dislike someone for that. Generally friendly, and then very warm to  those close to me.  I think differently than most people. I've ...|||http://media.indiatimes.in/media/content/2015/Oct/ezgif%20com-resize%203_1446196470.gif|||From now on I'm blaming everything on you.  Good going with WWII and the Black Death. :dry:|||How well does he know you? If not well, it could take a while for him to decide how interested he is in you.|||I tend to think that I should be fairly easy to read, even rather transparent, but a lot of people either don't seem to know what to look for or don't bother. So if I'm upset, if something's wrong, I...|||Yes.|||Yes (according to my own definition).    Yes.     Occasionally.|||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_JUReD3QoE|||Story of my life.|||Stream of consciousness? That's the problem. Turn the fucking stream off, I should be unconscious right now. :frustrating:|||Which half?|||To add a bit more to this: I don't find my thought process really changes at all when I drink. Just my filter.    So very yes. Sleep deprivation for me is worse than alcohol.    And he's...|||The Ni is always there, but when drunk I don't feel limited by  people finding whatever I'm saying weird or irrelevant so I just go on  and on about whatever pops into my head.  So outwardly,...|||We're just trying to break down stereotypes about how INTJs never shut up.  I mean a quiet INTJ? Who ever heard of that?  You have, thanks to this thread.|||They go out of their way to acknowledge that you exist.  He obviously still cares.|||I kind of chopped this up and spread it out to get some key points isolated.

I want a small group of close people to be able to share it with.|||I've  always liked the castle metaphor. I have a castle too. But like I said  previously about withdrawing and waiting to see if other people show  interest in me, the moat and the first set of walls...|||http://s7.favim.com/orig/150724/clown-creepy-gif-Favim.com-3000887.gif|||Over there.  :exterminate:     It's a Christmas miracle!|||I see everything from ten sides, so I can see how certain inputs can have vastly different outputs. Most of the time I just have what I consider most likely results. To actually have a solid, fixed...|||I actually think guarding against that is one of the reasons I'm so  withdrawn.

I'd better go steal somebody else's soul!|||The answer to your question is yes.    I expected your question to be much deeper than that.|||To your first question yes, people can change, and to this I say somewhere in the middle.

I had a coach comment that it seemed like I knew where my opponent was going with the ball before they themselves knew. I got moved all...|||I'm going to second this one.
