A Cry for Help

[Gilly]

Denizens of the forum, I summon you here today to do me a great service:

Long has it been debated how I VI, and long has there been conflict and bloodshed for many years now, with no end in sight. Eyes have been dissected, expressions isolated, and vibes fought over, yea, with sword and tool and nail. Many have suffered, many have lost, and more will suffer and lose, lest there be an end in sight.

I beseech ye masses, that ye wouldst go forth and find celebrities or other easily typed persons that look like me, that this senseless violence might be ended on all our behalf. Be warned that this be no simple task, and though there be a multitudinous cacophony of blue-eyed brown-haired pretty boys easily likened unto me for their dashing looks and princely manners, nary a one has yet stood the scrutiny of those who look upon it with a critical eye.

Now, go forth, and do your forum proud!

And *drum roll* the only known un-posed photograph of my face in existence...

....ew. Your findings are rejected.

He reminds me of Bob Saget.

Who's the chick in the screamo picture?


And you look Manson-esque in that last one (not so much in expression, but in latent energy). O' the stryfe...

[Gilly]

Christ, don't fucking do that. Do you know me? If I had any solutions of my own, you people wouldn't even HEAR about this shit

[strrrng]

Well, that's the point. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Inverting the mirror can give a different perspective.

Good luck with that one. I see one of two things when I look in the mirror: composure, perfect edges, a slick emotional sheen, competency, and exactly the right combination of penetrating intellect and elusively magnetic accessibility, or childish depravity, stupidity, indecisiveness, upwelling insecurity, a temporal lobe that looks like swiss cheese, and unforgivable physical awkwardness.

[strrrng]

Well, there's always the last resort...

[Gilly]

I'd rather drill a hole in my skull.

"I'm not in the mirror, I'm inside you... you can't kill a spirit even if you tried to" sigh

Why again aren't you sure you're IEI...?

Sensory deprivation... sounds scary. I would either become a genius for 24 hours or go completely crazy, entirely depending on the shape of my soul that day. Whatever.

EIE works better for lots of reasons. Although there's nothing stereotypically extroverted about me, I do think I am "object-focused," an extrotim, according to Socionics definitions. I tend to feel responsible for initiating contact and getting things moving, even if it is not my natural inclination. Intertype relations also work much better, nearly perfectly even, assuming I am EIE, especially within my family and with my closest friends. Most of my apparent "irrationality" is easily explained by being Ni/Harmonizing subtype, and being an Enneagram sexual variant dominant and having a 7 fix both contribute to my impulsiveness, a trait not directly related to Socionics in any way, but often taken as an indicator of irrationality.

I don't see how it could be anything but exhilirating. It seems like such a challenge.
