Thanks for the list! I go through phases of music genres. It used to be pop (from the mid 90s), then I switched to hard rock (late 90s/00), then it was jazz/swing and now I have this Blues /...

What I expected to have when grown up: - career - righteousness - cheerfulness - strength - friendships - love The reality: - isolation
I'm back down in the dumps. My unshakable expectations: - career - righteousness - cheerfulness - confidence and strength - friendships - love
1/ because there is nothing to apologize for. you were positive and careful. 2/ because I feel like I am emotionally manipulating the person I apologize to when there is really nothing to apologize...
the teeny tiny Se that grows out under stress and gives you a cold reality shower >_<
I really identify with you on the complementing best friend gone his way. Asking permission to compliment is not crazy. Crazy by my standards would be harassing her at work with no regard for her...
Anytime. I get rid of my moods mostly in written form, so keep it coming! I really need to understand how some people find sleep in minutes. Cause I usually count it in hours! ( =_= )
I open a new Google text document and I write and write without ever looking at grammar, spelling or structure. I write until I run out of thoughts or ways of expressing them. sometimes I write so...

forget about those silly questions, I just have (or learned) too much expectations from myself
Thank you for the enlightening post, Anahata. I will leave this country in 8 months, I'm struggling not to forfeit before that actually, the reason follows. I am by observation inferior to...
EDIT: removed a negative comment. To the young people applying to college, by all means do so because that's your instinct speaking. And listen to it some more to know what specialty to take, ...
Thanks a lot See Above, it's heart-warming. I've started my life from the opposite side, perceiving that everyone was judging me or would potentially. So I became eager to please and get praise. ...
I am at the unhealthy level 7 of type 4 :frustrating:

inadequate, inacceptable, unreliable, doomed.
Love is a painful restlessness about someone else.
Probably some living dead reflex to put on a mask
Interesting, I have not realized there were MBTI versus keirsey temp [I guess it goes with my tendency to overlook details]. The personalitycafe test gave INFJ, others tests I found here and there...
