Re: Dolphin's SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT thread
SLI is a type that I very, very strongly identified w for a long time. One of the primary reasons I re-typed to IEE was that a couple of people from the forum I met irl insisted that I was "too warm" to be SLI. And I *can* be warm. But I can also be quite cool and aloof.
I keep to myself a lot. I turn down most social invitations simply bc I'd rather be by myself... I need plenty of alone time, and if I don't get it for some reason, I shut down automatically anyway, whether I'm w people or not; I can't help it, and that's why I would rather just be alone in the first place -- it saves the complications of having to answer questions and explain that I'm not mad at anyone and that nothing is wrong etc etc etc. And when that happens I do get angry, heh.
This happened to me just last weekend, where I found out later that everyone thought I was angry and, though they didn't say it so bluntly, a bitch in general... just because I wasn't "participating" or whatever. Ugh. I hate that, and it happens over and over to me.
