Being nervy or guarded about social situations doesn't sound screwed up to me, it's just a thing. What way do you think a person (or all people I suppose) should be acting in social interactions? Eh, I think it is better to be nervy and guarded than rude and boorish (if I were to make such a choice of who, or what 'type' of person I would wish to interact with.)
Typing mine in a roomful of other peeps was met with much aggression ("Well, if you're going to be vague with your questions, I'm going to be vague with my answers."
Do you mean you are expecting a clear answer from a vague question? Maybe some people don't like being asked questions about themselves, esp in a room full of others. It's called being private.
"The whole point of the questions being vague is that they allow for more specific answers without pigeonholing you."),
well, I assume his vagueness wasn't an issue if it gives you more information? It's not the questionees fault if the questions don't make sense to him. Remember it's at least as much the fault of the person asking them in the way they are asking them, than the person who is answering them.
while the IEE was quite content with relating
his entire life story (which is why I love IEEs).
Well, as an SLI, I don't like to talk about myself directly, which IEE's tend to do more, so I suppose i'll fit into you're socially guarded, not-happy-with-sort-of-questions people as well. I suppose I am screwed up then, maybe like this guy (at least from general gist of what you write?) lol
The LSE is also glued to the heels of said IEE. He practically stalks him, and primarily because the IEE is good at explaining schoolwork (which seems sort of antisocial to me |: )
well, pardon said LSE for having a friend who he likes to hang out with more than you. I think perhaps, at least from what you've written, s/he isn't as screwed up as you say, but maybe you are (at least a little, from another perspective??? (which is something you could do is to try to learn socionics to help you understand different viewpoints/"attitudes" to certain things.)
