I often wonder to what extent do the people on Steve's site represent the general population, because I have never seen so many people who could relate to things I say. In real life, people tell me to change, in real life people tell me I am difficult to live with--even today I was told that. Maybe certain individuals just don't get along with people. I wonder if those individuals would get along with one another? |
They say your difficult to live with... Even though you are a simple person no?
I'm gunna go out on a limb here and say you, me, and yossarian probably all hold a similar personality type. According to
this personality test (which I just found twenty minutes ago on this board), I'm a "
INTP".

I don't like to talk unless I know someone is listening and unless the person wants to hear what I have to say, and that is really rare. I also don't talk just to hear my own voice. I have to have something to say.

And as a result I'm not very good at expressing my ideas/views/experiences, simply because I don't encounter anyone who can relate with them at all. I'm working on that though.
