	I wish people knew that I'm not "talking like a smartypants" just to impress them.

THIS. For the most part, the words I use are to project the most specific meaning possible. (Unless if the situation calls for another approach)

	If you think a person is an INTJ, chances are they are not. They could be, but think twice about it. If you ask them a serious question when they are dead tired, and they answer on autopilot like a technical-minded, direct and rational INTJ if they bother to respond, perhaps you are onto something.

I like what you said for the most part; but, I don't think I completely agree with this statement. In social situations it's easier for me to get along with people with an ENFP mask.

**Grimace** · 10-14-2011, 08:30 PM

The more you try and coerce me into some socialized activity, the more I will resent you for it.

As someone else said, I'm almost always half joking, being sarcastic, or speaking rhetorically or in some alternate ironic persona.

Close minded uptight people are instantly my enemies.

I will very harshly judge someone on their saying something ignorant, bigoted, or outright evil. On the other hand, I will very profoundly be impressed and attracted to even a minuscule thoughtful gesture or elegant sentence or sublime idea. I extrapolate from fragments to maxims, accept it.

1. When you see me eating alone in a restaurant, it's because I like to and not because I don't have friends.

2. I am perfectly happy sitting in silence with you. No need to blabber.

**Shadizar** · 10-16-2011, 01:33 AM

I don't care how many muscles are in a smile or a frown; either I have incredibly well toned frown muscles or you're talking shit, because smiling is very tiring and I'm very energy conservative, you yourself have often told me I'm lazy; and on that note, being angry is also very tiring, so unless you've just made a spectacular cluster fuck of yourself, don't assume that I'm angry.

**Tactical Panda** · 10-16-2011, 03:40 AM

I don't really have an opinion of you unless you become a problem.

Same thing goes for your intelligence and every other insecurity you have.

But if you become a problem for a stupid reason, do not expect compassion or an attack.

Only that I will attempt to deal with you effectively in one easy payment, but failing that I'd just keep at it until it is not meaningful to do so.

But I may have an opinion if I have a measure of admiration for you or gratitude.

- Like Bisclarvet said........when I'm staring of into space I am thinking........VERY intently......please, please, PLEASE don't interrupt

-Don't tell me to smile more.......I can be happy on the inside and not appear happy.....it IS ok to do that.

-If I love you I will constantly be doing things for you (little favors, buying you dinner, a movie) Basically if you're sick and I go pick you up some medicine, lunch, and everything else you could need while your at home I LIKE YOU!!! I don't do that for anyone......I wish that my crush would understand that

-again, if Im quiet it's ok.....no need to feel awkward because I'm having a perfectly good time thinking to myself and honestly don't even notice the (apparent?) awkwardness that might be present

-Like most guys.....one of the ways to my heart is through my stomach lol

-Please either support or honestly critique my ideas.......If you just laugh at them, there is no bigger turn off to me.

-If I get touchy feely and cuddly with you.....accept it......because I promise you are the only person its happening to. I don't do touchy feely......period.So when I do It's my most sincere form of affection.

-and don't try to push ideals on me or try to get me to do something at a pace faster then what I'm already working at. VERY stubborn guy here

-If you're gonna prove me wrong on facts.........you better be able to cite them lol.......I like to have proof to points so that I can reform my thoughts and Ideals and know that the newly accepted information is truthful and legitimate

-I HATE ambiguity of any kind and I'm a terrible flirt.

Get outta my head! Especially the touchy feely part. Ive found that most women I have feelings for tend to get that vibe. Only one really hasnt figured it out, and I was being as obvious as I get.

**pandora** · 10-16-2011, 06:49 PM

... that my sometimes lack of visible and immediate response doesn't mean I don't care, empathize or have an opinion, etc. Because I don't jump up and down, feel the need to tell everyone all at once, suck the air out of a room or display other kinds of emotions or behaviours, doesn't mean that I'm not listening, paying attention or am ambivalent to the situation...

**Tactical Panda** · 10-17-2011, 05:01 AM

Every day I'm learning. I don't mean academic or school. I don't mean just reading books. I mean way of life - I mean in a way totally different from how you may hold the attitude of learning as something just tacked onto life. Put aside your presumptions and just watch me do this. I've gone down this road enough times to know that its worthwhile - brushing shoulders with directors of companies and the international academic elite. I don't claim to be someone great - but your projections from your inferiority complex is tiresome when you try to shoot me down or spout loose egocentric opinions by being glib and superficial.

Dancingqueen · 10-17-2011, 10:50 AM

It's twice as hard for me to be nice than it is for you!

**Bisclavret** · 10-17-2011, 02:06 PM

If you want my opinion, be prepared to hear my take on the truth (and not what you want to hear).

**raimius** · 10-17-2011, 02:25 PM

The neutral look doesn't mean I'm angry, and if I'm smiling, it means I am very happy.

**Bisclavret** · 10-17-2011, 03:34 PM

I smile when I am happy and when I am angry.

	Predictable people repulse me. Say or do something unexpected, please.

So if I punched you in the face, would you be pleased?

"not acknowledging your emotions as valid, because the were triggered by irrational thinking, doesn't mean i don't care."

amirite?

**QueenOfSwords** · 10-17-2011, 08:04 PM

That when I say that, I really mean...NO. There is nothing to read between the lines. I am saying exactly what I mean. Always.
At least when I'm being serious.

**DoubleEntendre** · 10-17-2011, 08:11 PM

I have feelings that can be hurt. I strongly recommend that you don't because it's hard to accomplish and the repercussions are quite severe.

**Tactical Panda** · 10-17-2011, 08:16 PM

I'd rather fix your problems in one go than listen to you suffer as you walk in circles.

Amright?

**Shadizar** · 10-17-2011, 08:24 PM

I remember everything you say; if you're flapping your gums from the seat of your pants, I'm going to know it. If you can't even keep track of the shit you spew out from one day to the next, don't demand that I respect your opinion.

You're right. I don't do sympathy very well; I'd rather try to eliminate the problem.

**Yvoire** · 10-18-2011, 03:03 AM

I do need some time alone when I socialize for prolonged periods (i.e. more than one hour). It does not mean I don't enjoy the situation or people.

**Wintere** · 04-01-2012, 04:49 AM

That's just the way my face is, not that I am cold or sad or tired or whatever you imagined it to be. Don't question it all the time. It's irritating.
Don't ask me this question: why are you so quiet? I do not have any reasons for this, except for it is my nature. And don't be so surprised when I can talk a lot about some specific topics just because I am usually quiet. I just stay quite until I have something I need and want to talk about.
Don't take my jokes so seriously, just because my face is serious. And don't be so surprised when I say that I am joking. I can make jokes too.
If you have to argue or debate with me, do not bring up emotions. Use evidences, solid and relevant ones.
When I stare into nowhere, and smile because of nothing (visible to your eyes), just leave me alone.

**AnotherAvatar** · 04-05-2012, 06:28 PM

I'm done trying to find common ground with the pedestrians. It's friend or foe at this point.

**Reizu** · 04-05-2012, 06:34 PM

-I wish people would realize that I don't WANT to go partying and drinking and smoking pot with them.
-I wish people would stop trying to drag me into their drama, because honestly, unless it revolves around a death or some other life-altering event, I don't care, and neither will you in a few days.

**KeithP** · 04-05-2012, 06:38 PM

Tell me what to do more than giving me an option on what to do. If you make a decision yourself, and you're set on it, don't give me a, b and c just to see what I choose. If I don't choose what I/you want, THEN give me b and c. It would clear up so much confusion.

Making decisions for me makes me much more likely to do them. I'll choose introversion over extroversion nearly every time.

**Andre20** · 04-05-2012, 06:56 PM

-I wish they knew that I wasn't actually being "cold" when I didn't respond immediately. I didn't respond due to whatever thought popped up into my head at that instant.
-Oh, and don't go blabbing to the world that I'm wrong on a problem/issue, without actually doing a thorough investigation, when I'm actually right.
