This is only loosely related but I've always wanted to yell at a person who is about to jump off a building "DO A FLIP!"

I know it wasn't my idea, but Bender is God and I really do want to do it. This isn't just a joke :S

OMG!!! Do it!!! What a way to go!!

Like this?

Another similar impulse I felt (and friends, too) was to jump off a height. The same, it was very strong and completely without a reason. I feel they are related, did you feel this, too?

YES I so relate to this. Whenever I am near a cliff or any kind of sheer drop, all I can think of is jumping off of it, what it would be like to fall through the air, last seconds of life as I accelerated towards the ground...

Do you know your Enneagram type Ephemeros? I wouldn't be surprised if you were 7w8 sx/sp; I think this could be related to sx variant.

I don't really visualize anything, per se; more I get this flash of what it would be like to be in my brain during the fall: the feeling of the endorphins and dopamine rushing to my brain, thinking forward to the impact, the sheer thrill. This is what compels me to jump.

If you want good, really thorough and in-depth E-type descriptions, I would recommend the following sites:

the enneagram ...info from the underground

Expanded Descriptions of the Enneagram Types

The first one has more a variety of descriptions, including the different compounds of instincts, and is written more in the style of personal testimonials, whereas the second has more information on levels of health, integration and disintegration, and is a tad more formal-sounding.

Betas don't die. They merely retire to Siberian leisure camps after converting to socialism.

ok that was funny.

Yes, I think about both violence and death quite a bit. I'll consider myself lucky if I live past 35 years old.

I used to be convinced I wouldn't live past 30 because that was the year 2000 and it just seemed way too far away. I'm 38 now, so I guess that makes me lucky.

no, what is very good?

I wake up thinking about death, wondering how I will die, what I want to accomplish before I die, if I can save anyone from dying...it helps me my focus my pent up aggression and move on from random unimportant anomalies which I would otherwise obsess about in a kind of computer loop...it also makes me want to tear apart anything that walks...go figure. In any event, I am always preparing to die, I am almost always ready to die...I have been since I could remember.
