ESI: We get along pretty well. When working together I usually end up doing about 75 - 80% of the work, but I don't really feel taken advantage of (even if I might be lmao, but it doesn't matter); however I wouldn't feel motivated to do this work if it wasn't because I like them so much. Also, the foundations/main line of development that the project follows is usually largelly set by them. I respect them and can tell they respect me, are very kind when dealing with others, and are driven/goal oriented. When we make plans I often listen a lot; the stuff they say makes sense, is reasonable, doable, and has concrete and significant goals. Usually they have asked me why I am so angry, but I'm not; my expression is just that far from charming when I'm on my own lol, so after that I make sure to soften my expression and open up to them slowly. One of them likes to give me advice on how to set the rules in a succesful love relationship and lessons on how to "tame your man". We also shared her home-made snacks in the computer lab.
SLI: Chill people, strong but not cocky, smart but not pedantic. They usually are much faster than I am when we work together and have to become familiar with new apparatus/equipment. So we often split the work with me handling theory and them handling equipment operations. Calculations are done by whichever.
IEE: No. Don't talk to me, don't look at me, don't breath my air. I don't care about aliens, the illuminati, demi-sexuality, involvement in LGBT activism, non-binary existance, the patriarchy, feminism, racism, or the messy ass place that is usually their home. One of them had a dog which she failed to care for, so she got a second one that was much larger, and everything was ok because now there were "two furry babies" at home. We get along pretty well in the beginning, but after a while I'm the sour critical bitch and they're the opressed sunshine child who can see through anything and has a fantastic explanation for everything yet does nothing relevant with their life. The ones like these were all girls; the guys I met though were very alternative, warm, calmer, and liked letting loose. I liked the guys.
EII: Too good to be true, too humanitarian, too giving and forgiving. These people have not only forgiven and forgotten what some mf did to them but have also decided to help them significantly because "people can change and the world is built on second chances". I like them, but am much more grudgy and hellbent on revenge cause people are cunts and deserve no second chances.
EIE: When first meeting them I thought "wow, this person looks like someone important and worthy", they smile at first and eventually my lack of responsiveness, ineffectiveness at fulfilling their requests appropriately, and unwillingness to take one for the team will have them yelling at me, giving me the laser eye glare, and straight up just bossing me around and owning my ass. After I got too stressed and actually showed visible signs of emotion they all have backed off immediatly, apologized, and made a conscious effort to treat me differently (one even invited me to a concert with them). After reflecting I realized they weren't assholes, but to them I simply looked like a careless, uncooperative, selfish/self-absorbed, and therefore irritating person. One of them commented in an annoyed tone on my "poker face" so no one can tell what I'm feeling.
ILI: Fun and easy to talk with, we quietly roast people walking by as we speak. We talk about pretty much anything until we get hooked on a particular subject and dig into it for hours. I don't have to explain myself which is nice. On the downside we both lack grit, a backbone, and warmth, so motivating or lifting each other up can be difficult. At least we keep each other company out of sympathy.
SEE: often in the "popular kids" group - which I'm obviously not a part of lol. I notice them way before they notice me. Quite a few I became friends with after tutoring them in math or chemistry; after knowing each other a bit they appreciate my sarcastic, dry humour. I really like and enjoy their warm, positive, somewhat wild, and strong energy.
LSI: I admire them because of their strong determination, willpower, clear/sharp thinking, work discipline, ambition, and most of all their steadfast demeanor when dealing with confrontation. However with time I find myself trying to escape from them because of their controlling and perfectionistic nature.
ESE: they think I'm very interesting until they get to know me
ILE: they're smart, competent, and resourceful, but I'm often annoyed at their want to be taken care of. One seemed particularly repulsive when commenting during a work dinner "it's been really long since we've been fed and catered for like these; they just don't care anymore". This same guy showed mild resentment of his own kid for needing parenting/guidance, being a responsibility over him and apparently a cause for the diminished quality time he spent with his wife. For some reason the kid was to blame and not his lack of readiness and planning. Others I've met have been pretty cocky and clever yet ineffective at achieving tangible results and positions of leadership or influence, so they sulked and complained on how management was close minded and filled with ellitists.
