'I guess I was curious about the modus operandi of an ESTP whenever s/he is doing this particular kind of bob and weave.|||Jesus, get out of my head! It's as if you read my mind! My SO always gives me gifts in cash whenever possible, she knows I like to research and buy my gear alone.|||Can anyone shine a light on an issue that's been bothering me? If an  ESTP, in this case Trump always avoids an issue, goes silent when asked,  answers with cookie cutter statements and generally...|||I found it very difficult to graduate (some of the courses were real difficult, had to brute force them) but in the end I was happy to have made it trough.|||I've just read this NY times piece and Jason Everman struck me as ISTP  http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/02/magazine/evermans-war.html?ref=magazine&pagewanted=all&_r=1&|||Dunno if he's already mentioned in this thread:   Sébastien Loeb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia  Badass, he's got the devil may care smirk always on.|||ESFJs thrive on verbal communication and rapport.

They try so HARD to get approval that they become obnoxious pretty soon, especially if you're not in the mood of indulging them.|||ESFJs: I don't need the drama, they won't shut the f up and they can become quite bitchy and attention seekers.

This trailer shows some interesting stuff and sheds some light on the plot.|||I had a massive crush for a (suspected, but she fits the description quite well) INFP for a frigging LONG time. I'm glad it's over but I still kick myself in the shins whenever I think about her....|||Have you courage, O my brothers? Are you stout-hearted? Not the courage before witnesses, but hermit courage and eagle courage, which not even a God any longer beholds?   Cold souls, mules, the...|||Dear female ESFJ,  Your victimism and attention seeking tirades are wearing me out, stay away from me and keep your drama to yourself. I don't give a rat's ass about your feelings and I don't want...|||I think getting to know people and connecting with them requires (at least for us ISTPs) a massive amount of Extraverted Sensing and Extraverted Feeling.

Many ISFJs marry...|||Sounds like one of those weird-ass quotes placed at the beginning of Frank Herbert's Dune books (or chapters).|||Can't remember how many times I did this. On sundays when there are few people around it's even better...|||Hell yeah. Coupla years for the serious relationships, perhaps more.     Once it's out of my system I can move on and it's like nothing happened, the feelings are gone and so the hurt. Thinking...|||I wouldn't call it man-crush but I've got some pals that are not afraid to admit they enjoy my company: they often laugh at my jokes and value my weirdness, easy going attitude and knowledge of some...|||Selflessness and modesty. Humble and considerate. They have a sense of humor and never become drama queens (or kings). Private and self-effacing.

She's quiet,...|||One of my gf broke up with me because she could not fathom the thought of being apart for more than a few days and complained a lot if I wanted to be alone or was not in contact every single day.
