Yeah, I get that one too.
“Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.”
i'd just be sitting on the other side of the room and my sis' friends were afraid of me. i didn't even know it. she told me later after we were grown up.
i was also the bodyguard to the girls in grade school, the girly girls that the boys wanted to pull their skirts up. i didn't wear skirts.
I was the bodyguard to the guys who were quiet and minded their own business but got bullied by others.
“Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.”
my husband never got bullied because he was sooooo tall.that alone scared off any offenders. that and he has this look on his face when he's not smiling that looks like a serial killer.
LOLmy husband never got bullied because he was sooooo tall.
“Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.”
my mil described my hubby as smart but didnt do anything with it, what SHE wanted him to do with it. sensitive, not living up to his potential...she wanted him to do "great" things, but he is a simple man with simple pleasures that she saw as "beneath" her.
Hmm, sounds a lot like me.
As a matter of fact, it sounds like something my mother would say (about me).
“Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.”

Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.
~an extraverted consciousness is unable to believe in invisible forces.
~a certain mysterious power that may prove terribly fascinating to the extraverted man, for it touches his unconscious.
Makes sense to me.
I hope she means asocial?
my mum is EIE.She either bombs me with compliments thinking they might boost my self-confidence in order to get a life or picks up fights and calls me names when she sees that i don't put any effort towards it. She is a very ambitious person ,constantly seeing endless future possibilities and gets frustrated with intertia of any kind. She wants to be the best in anything she does and succeeds it. In addition ,she believes that the reason i don't try is that I compare myself to her and feel inadequate which is so *not* true.I definitely have mommy issues but it's nothing like that.

Positives:
Intelligent, loves learning
Independent, doesn't need to be with others to be happy, can easily keep self occupied
Strong sense of fairness
Comes up with good ideas
Compassionate
Reliable
Trustworthy
Logical
Good sense of humor
Stubborn (I don't think I'm that stubborn but mom thinks I am. I suppose it depends on what it is. In some situations I can be quite stubborn but there are plenty situations where its the opposite and I feel like I give in too easily)
Neat
Organized
Hardworking and can work for long hours on something and not get tired of it, especially when its of real interest and/or importance to me.
Negatives:
Too hard on myself
Worries too much
Overly sensitive
Impatient
Doesn't adapt well to change (Depends. I adapt well if I know in advance and if I'm the one initiating the change. It's true though I generally don't like surprises or sudden changes)
Obsessive (once I get into something its hard to pull me away from it!)
Doesn't always take care of myself physically like I should
NOTE: The traits in red, are largely why I've periodically considered EII as a possibility.

Grandma offered up "enchanting", however, Mum knocked that back with "But perhaps somewhat less enchanting for me. Captivating, how's that?"
"You have a very energetic mind... sometimes. Eclectic, eccentric. I could be like a film critic and say "resonates". Mercurial. Imaginative. Inattentive sometimes [Gul's note: I spilled some tea while writing this, lol]. Funny, witty, good sense of humour. (Grandma forwards "Entertaining")." - mum
"Profound thought patterns. The Hennings made eccentricity an art form, but this was the Edwardian era when eccentricity was vogue." - grandma
