Poetic, kind and altruistic people, always eager to help a good cause.

'I had a lot of difficulty determining my type. I thought I had a 9w1 type for a year, a 7w6 type for two years. Currently, I think I have a 3w4 type. I say think because I was so certain in the...

Which core types would you say are overrated and underrated in the working/business world?

Communication can be hard sometimes, especially when you're trying to communicate feelings. They're slippery things. And it's okay to want and need more. I hope you feel better and find someone...

I'm not really sure what went on here, but you do matter. If he makes you feel that way, maybe he just isn't healthy for you. Or maybe it's all a miscommunication. You would know best.

My list-making, planning, scheduling, and organization habits. If I could, I would probably plan out my entire life. And then I would record it as it happens. As it is, I have lists for everything...

... knowing what to say. ... knowing what to do, to decide, to think, to feel... ... finding contentment, letting myself be happy. ... keeping still, being inactive. ... keeping my room...

Once, a neighbor told me that she tried to be a good neighbor. She was a christian and an elderly woman who wanted to go to heaven. She told me to come see her if I needed anything and made the same...

It's all a matter of perspective. However, I'd say, if you are looking for a long-lasting relationship, it is wiser to choose someone: Reliable rather than reckless: someone who's going to stick...

At the approach of a friend's wedding, I am confronted by a fear of both weddings and marriage. Mine, I worry, is not an appropriate mentality for a bridesmaid. Perhaps, my terror is the...

From a global (theorizing) perspective, I believe we are all soulmates--all connected through our souls. They bind us to each other. At some basic level, we are all the same. To love one person is to...

Overwhelmed, but I know everything will be okay.

Once upon a time . . . There lived a boy (or a girl) and a girl (or a boy). Considering polygamy, there possibly lived several boys and girls. They were star-crossed lovers, true loves, the...

I don't know what I'm doing. And I don't understand reality so well. So I just do whatever I want. I ignore my limitations, wear myself out completely, have a crying fit about once a week, and...

Perhaps loneliness, like all pain, is simply a warning.

People are not meant to be ruled. We are meant to be wild! :kitteh: I will destroy civilization, create chaos, resign from my position, and watch the rebirth.

When I was a child, they told me right from wrong. They told me how to act, what to admire or to abhor, and what to believe. I listened. I rejected and accepted at my pleasure. My mind would be my...

When you can be with them without losing your self (If you're not you and you're not truly there, you can't love someone)

I haven't experienced people leaving. But I've been on the other side of it. I've been the one who left. When I was 12, my family moved. I had the option to stay behind and seriously considered...

Feelings influence all of us, thinkers and feelers alike. We simply handle and react to them in different ways. For awareness, I'd say start with your actions rather than your feelings. Feelings...

Do-or-die determination is the only thing that works for me. Quitting is not an option! Give up and you might as well be dead! It's like when you are walking in the snow. You're freezing and...

I am easily and willingly manipulated. Especially by the people I love. When they're upset (even if it's unreasonable or irrational), I feel weighted and compelled to do something or to find some...

I've never taken illegal (USA) drugs. However, I was introduced to taking masses of prescription or OTC drugs at an early age. Which is likely why I am now averse to drugs: prescription or...

I have always been ambitious. Attempted to sell my scribbles at age three. Planned to become a famous pianist at age four. Directed my first movie (I was certain it would be an instant success!)...

:kitteh: Absurdist

The truth is usually buried under nonsensical explanations and attempts at logic. It has a quiet presence. It doesn't need to shout. It knows its importance. It influences you before you are even...

Dreams can be a little disturbing sometimes. :) Now, keep in mind that what I am about to say is purely theory. When a person appears in your dreams, that person represents a part of your...

Someone: You're the quietest person I've ever seen. Me: You mean 'heard,' right? :) Me inside: Flattered, but what's with your tone. WTF, there is nothing wrong with being quiet! EDIT:...

Tired. Moody, which always accompanies the tired. Don't want to be alone, which has been the philosophy of the past few days and is the reason for the tired. Wanting to cuddle with someone (platonic)...

It's never too late to take a trip to the past. Through memories, photographs, or visiting your old haunts. Secret playgrounds. Dark tunnels. Hollowed-out bushes. Climbing trees. Water pumps....

For me, makeup is often a habit. Though, sometimes, it can be an art form. What color will go well with this outfit? What color best draws out your eyes? And then, there's the question of how much....

Things you should know about me... 1. When I was a kid and we needed to walk somewhere, my dad used to follow me around to make sure I didn't run into anything. One time, he looked away for a...

Your comparison to a pill reminds me of Lad's post. Perhaps there are behavioral as well as physical pills... hmm... As for the rest, I was not trying to force anyone. If I were, I would use...

Are there any specific memories from your life that stand out to you as times when you were being the most you? Something you said or something you did? A sense of 'who you were' as a child? Or at...

The Rules of Tickling 1. Everyone is ticklish somewhere. Mwa-ha-ha-ha! (Maybe not entirely true... But it's best to believe it anyway as most who say they aren't are trying to trick you!) 2....

As well as your strengths (great ideas from telepariah and Oh_no_she_DIDNT), you can also make use of your weaknesses. Try using your self-absorption to keep your friends (i.e. be considerate of...

1. Do you have any enemies currently? No, no true enemies. I am willing to play at enemies for the sake of fun or for a game. Else wise, I try to win everyone over. 2. Did you have any...

Most protagonists have an antagonist. http://blacksportsonline.com/home/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/red-herring-300x200.jpg ...

In this respect--at least for me--it's best to simply be your most weird, crazy, outrageous self (that seems completely normal and logical to you)! Show your peacock colors! If I'm interested in...

Whenever someone says put it out of it's misery (generally referring to a mortally-wounded animal), I want to say, Let's put you out of your misery! :angry: The scary part is, if I said it,...

What do you say to a person you are expected to ask out on a blind date? Semi-direct: Hello, this is the friend of your friend's sister's roommate. My friend said your friend wanted to set us up...

I have trouble accepting that I am flawed, less than perfect, not good enough . . . Especially at the things that I want to be good at, that I pride myself in, that I make my ambitions . . . ...

A giant field. With the sprinklers turned on. Live bands or loud music coming from speakers. No lights, just the stars and the moon. Everyone masked by the night (so that no one need feel...

My inner world is somewhat dark. There's a lot of stored pain there. Fear. Paranoia. Stress. Anger. Anxiety. Sadness. Despondency. Disappointment. Loneliness. Confusion. Denial. Repression....

I've been looking after her for five weeks. Making sure she gets up in the morning, takes her medicine, eats, sleeps, bathes . . . There's a small nag in the back of my mind worrying about her...

I'm another forever single. And proud (as well as frightened) to say that no one on my mom's side of the family younger than me (of which, there are ten cousins--ages 1 to 21) has ever been in a...

I'm tired of saying, I miss you. (Cue dreaming of a world where everyone I love lives within walking distance. :bored:)

We went to see a movie together years ago. Whenever something funny happened, he looked at me and we smiled and laughed together. It felt special. So recently, I noticed he usually does that,...

I used to extremely dislike and distrust authority figures. The idea of an unknown individual having power over you can be frightening. Now, I mainly see them as ordinary people in difficult...

Six Steps to Develop Te Take this. Break it into parts.

I'll build an impenetrable fortress with a giant shark tank in the middle. :) There will be lots of secret passageways and trapdoors and such. In the bedrooms, the floor will be a giant bed....'
