| I'm an NT female and I've never been jealous. I've wanted things and been sad I couldn't have them. I've yearned. But I've never directed negativity towards those that have what I don't. Actually, if you take social psychology classes they talk about Jealousy. It's part of our personalities how we v... |

| Yeah when it comes down to crunch time I have found that your best friends are Oatmeal, Canned Soup and Potatoes. Canned soup was usually how I went about it. Because You eat two cans a day (Half can at a time) and you stay full but never too full, and eating every 4 hours or so a small meal REALLY ... |

| Calm down. Take a deep breath. Women are evil at times. Look at all the women who have hurt you before, identify why they did it, and be wary of them in the future. A lot of times I have guy friends who keep getting in serious trouble because of the women they're with, but when push comes to shove t... |

| Sounds like she's tapping into the bottles herself. The computer probably said that you were a ridiculous age (105 or something) and she didn't see it at first, but looking at it now it seemed pretty funny. That kind of stuff makes us laugh. You weren't supposed to get it, it wasn't a joke, she's ju... |

| Yeah, I remember that time of my life well. Mine was a little younger, but we all go through that phase of 'Oh my gosh all this downstairs stuff works and THEY look really happy about it, I gotta get in on it!' where we feel like we need to start having relationships. And we do. We're humans. But th... |

I'm also an artist, and a complete nature freak. Half my computer is filled with images of outfits that I would like to die in. Bu... |

| You are a thoughtful and intelligent individual. Your view of Snape was spot on. I was also not surprised. Because Severus was a beautiful, complex, human character. He felt regret, and love, and shame, and was not just a token 'bad guy'. He was smart and calculating, and always did what had to be d... |

| I hate family gatherings. It's okay. Don't feel bad. Make sure everyone down there knows that you love them, and just be where you want to be. Some people like to mill about and update everyone on how they're doing for an ungodly amount of time. Others don't. I assume the former group of people don'... |

| A spectrum (plural spectra or spectrums) is a condition that is not limited to a specific set of values but can vary infinitely within a continuum. Of course it's normal. Everyone has different levels of everything. Don't let this label tie you to things that you aren't, or even things that you thin... |

| When you voice your emotions, you let whats inside you out into the world. By telling your emotions to a friend, you are making your friend feel responsible for how you feel. This puts an NT in an awkward position, because if you are asked, "Having fun?" on a date or doing something, and you're havi... |

| You're a person. With a personality. Infantilism is part of that, and nothing has to be wrong with that. If you want to change that part of you, talk with your doctor or therapist about it. If you don't, just don't. I'm bossy. I could work on it, but I like being bossy. You don't need to be ashamed.... |

I just get up and physically leave the room when people start one-upping. It's not abnormal behavior if you're just being rude. The problem I find with t... |

Your mom will always be your mom. That's a healthy relationship. The guy is a total non-issue in this equation.... |
