Type of close friend throughout highschool
-Outspoken, and incredibly loyal. Would cut you off for a while when you did something that she didn't like, or made her feel bad (even some things that seemed blown out of proportion, like me not wanting to take a picture with her that she wanted to put on her facebook because I knew she was dating somebody at the time), but would eventually forgive you.
-Often thought of me as 'silly' or detached from reality. Kind of had a "duh, silly. Lol, where've you been." reaction to a lot of the things I'd say. She'd often tell me to "stop caring about what people think", to just do something about it, or that I'm thinking too much, etc. Although she wasn't cold either - she put up with me more than she should have, and she could empathize and even relate with a lot of the things I said. She was just better at dealing with it.
-Got into arguments easily, often over anything involving perceived disrespect, pushiness, things she perceived to be immoral or just didn't like seeing, etc. Students and teachers. Willing to tell someone straight up that they're acting in a way that they shouldn't be, even telling an SEI girl that she lost respect for her after she hooked up with an ex that used her in the past. Pretty honest/candid in general. She's had persistent conflicts with an SEI and an ILE.
-Could sometimes dominate a conversation, somewhat, but generally fine doing her own thing. Didn't seek approval, and didn't seek people out, although she could banter with other people when she wanted to, if they just happened to be there. Lots of funny/crude jokes. She never meshed well with a group atmosphere either, and could seem kind of disruptive to them at times. She seemed to know a lot of people from the parties that she'd be invited to around her neighborhood, but it seemed like they sought her out moreso than the other way around.
-I went to a casting call around the end of my senior year, talked to her about it, and she told me that she didn't want me to go because she was worried I'd be hurt and thought that it'd be too toxic of an atmosphere for me.
-Seemed pretty practical, resourceful and street smart. When she would visit someone who was in prison, she would talk confidently about the dynamics involved there, and just seemed really interested in that sort of stuff in general. Gave me shit once for not knowing what precinct I lived in. lol.
-She had quite a few close-ish friends among the school staff, and seemed to get a long with them better than most of the kids at school.
-She told me that when she'd hang out with people, she'd kind of 'lose herself' a bit, or wouldn't be thinking much, and then afterwards would look back on it and feel kind of bad.
-She generally seemed steady/restrained to me. She could be pretty loud, engaging, etc., but she never bounced around the room or anything like that. She kind of just stayed in one place, listened to her music, said more-or-less that she wanted (as in she would give her genuine opinion about things, and lighthearted shit talking around certain people), responsive if you talked to her, etc.
-I feel like there was a bit of a communication gap between us sometimes. Just in terms of life-outlook, and how we would process certain things. Things seemed more drastic for her in general. It was hard for me to really give her advice, even though she was always willing to offer it to me, since it always seemed to me like she knew what she was doing (even when she'd express her frustrations, fears, anxieties, etc.) and I just didn't have that sort of life-experience.
I'm kind of thinking LSE, SLI-Te, or ESI-Se? Dominant-subtype?
