I've been told I have a thousand-yard-stare. It's certainly not intentional but it makes people think I'm an a$$hole (which I always find out later after much social awkwardness). Oh well:tongue:
I constantly feel that way. It's especially hard during conversations with people as I *always* feel like I am saying the wrong thing. Couple that with what I have been told is my ever-present...
Glad to hear others using music as a happy pill. Give me a nice sunny day, a strong cocktail and some 311 on the MP3 player and that can defeat the most evil of depression monsters.
Wow, I could have just copy/pasted your stuff in my own post. Namely the STEM and social awkwardness. I majored in Comp Sci. and have a job as a software developer...and I hate it! All the rules...
For Your Life - Led Zeppelin
I do it everywhere, even during job interviews. I tend to be very animated too. I think I was supposed to be a cartoon:tongue:
-A Player's Guide to the Ladies -How to Stop Being the Life of the Party!
Jeans, t-shirts and Chucks for the feets.
Man, you made me shed a man-tear at work when I saw his picture:sad: Signed!
Wiser words were never spoken. I think you should talk to her, but be very, very careful about *what* you say and *how* you say it. It could be that a vacation from makes you realize you want her...
Running here, but it's only to stay lean. I ran in high school and was never great but I'm glad the habit stuck with me. (yay for pizza and beer on the weekend without the belly!)
Me likes this thread! I am *way* too childish. I tend to stop to look at little, seemingly insignificant things and this greatly annoys other people around me. I'll also do bizzare stuff like hang...
-Aliens (director's cut) -Blade Runner (director's cut)
-Differential Equations: The Definative Guide -Yes, it IS all in your head -Why feelings make you weak
A steady 5-7.
Morning for me too. I workout in the morning and feel like I'm blazing afterwards. Then the reality of my terrible job as a programmer creeps in and I'm spent.
Depends on the activity for me. I used to love camping with my friends when I was young. I used to listen to the sounds of nature for hours at night, after everyone else had drifted to sleep. I...
I find small talk boring, along with meaningless or social minutiae talk (like gossip, latest trends, etc. I find the how are you question particularly infuriating. Short answer is that I try...
I actually like it, provided I know about it first. An uninvited probing though...grrrrr...makes Hulk ANGRY!!! If it's invited, or a professional session than I view it as a way to improve myself.
I love Batman, particularly how he operates alone (depending on which series you read...can't stand Robin/Nightwing). I greatly admire how he had to overcome fear and tradgedy, then used it as a...
I almost shed a tear when I saw your post. My wife is always critically evaluating me for menial things!!!! My wife is also the organizer, financial planner and general manager of our relationship....
Your post made me smile:happy: I had this strange thought of a little cloned me running around. I wonder if you would get into a fight with yourself? That would be strange!:tongue:
I adore a handwritten letter! I think it's romantic and it shows that a person wanted to really put some effort into their feelings. It is really easy to blast a text off, but taking the time to...
I will raise a fist in collective angst to that! Seriously though, I understand that completely and sadly it has taught me to just keep my mouth shut. I have never understood why people assume a...
I am frequently told that I have a thousand yard stare. I have also been told many times that I seem arrogant before I speak a single word!
Dude, totally agree there. I always get a bit annoyed and defend myself by saying that I just want to be the best I can be.
You have a 1000-yard-stare. No wonder people don't want to talk to you. You look scary man! (said by...everyone)
On a cool winter's day in 7th grade, I was trying to remove my sweater in Science class because the room was hot. Somehow I got my arms tangled up and the teacher had to stop in the middle of her...
This sounds cliche, but from personal experience I have found rigorous physical activity helps. I do sprint intervals to detoxify. It doesn't cure everything but it does make me tired and numb so...
I completely connect with the attention fantasy, because I have seen how it opens doors for people. This may stray from the topic a bit, but I have been told I have a 1000 yard stare which usually...
The Krusty Krab pizza, is the pizza, for you and me!
I have noticed that I (negatively) try to fit all my behavior into the INFP description. For example, if I make a bad decision it's easy to just say, oh well, that's the way I am instead of...
I have found that passion means something that you can stick with and lose yourself in. I agree that passions can melt into whims, or even start out that way. I thought I wanted to be in a music...
He sounds just like me! I have a Comp. Sci. degree and it was a horrible, slow crawl to the finish. I was always slow at programming and usually wrote buggy code. I've been a professional...
I've bounced between ISFP and INFP when I take the test at different times or days. Probably my mood, maybe?
I get that *every* time I meet people. If and when said people actually become friendly with me at some point later, they always tell me I seemed so snobby or cold.:sad:
Yes, yes, yes! That's usually how things go with me, especially the cycle part. Whenever I think I'm getting a deep connection with someone, it ends up being superficial. I'll ask the person to...
I have a terrible time making friends. Certainly my fault, probably because I am so aloof. I usually end up with fair-weather friends. The kind that only want to hang out when there is no one...
I live my life based on them. I've been on job interviews where I didn't get a good vibe about the environment, but took the job anyway...bad mistake in EVERY case. I can also tell instantly when...
Good point. I worked as a computer technician to pay for college and I liked the idea of getting someone's fun machine back to them. I also enjoyed teaching people things about computers when...
chrisco333 Thanks, although I guess if I was really wise I would be doing something I love:tongue:
Others have said, and I can confirm that passion is the key. Don't make the mistake I did and end up in a career you hate just to maintain a lifestyle.
I can empathize completely. My passion is drawing. Sadly, my degree is in Computer Science and I am a programmer. I hate my career:sad:!! Follow your passions!!! Don't go to school with the...
Go with what interests you the most! If you dig writing or graphics you may like the Arts better than the Sciences. UX/UI design is popular but you will have to get into writing CSS code which, for...
:tongue: That's an understatement! Corgis are cute. I lived next to a woman who had two back in 2007. They were like little furry low riders.
Must...have...wiener dog!
Wow, what an outstanding display of confidence! Your skin is coated in a sheen of it!!.
I am a software developer and I find it frustrating and boring. I majored in Comp. Sci. and did so because as a younger man all I wanted was money. After almost 10 years in the field I've realized...
I struggle with self esteem on a daily basis. I agree very much that finding a passion will help. On the other hand, it can be a real soul crusher to find a passion and struggle with that as well! ...'
