    Would you date a chimp? They're around 98% similar.

    Glad to see this thread brought back to life I made this when I was really frustrated with an SiTe, and it's funny to look back. But honestly, I still have no shining examples of duality, THOUGH, it is possibly that my creative writing professor is SiTe, he's such an odd ball and always gives me this scrutinizing but "Hmmm, interesting" look and likes to reinterpret what I say. But other than that, keep on the dual-bashing

    Lobo, the point is they are not the same species.

    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 2w1sw(1w9) helps others to live up to their own standards of what a good person is and is very behind the scenes in the process.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    I hate to bring this up, but might it be possible you are mistyping your duals? in my experience there is an unmistakeable connection that happens in close proximity with SLIs, even if we have absolutely nothing in common and arent close friends. By "reinterpret what you say" what do you mean by that? Does he correctly reinterpret? Or is he totally off? SLIs seem to read my mind--that is part of the connection. And i have minimal explaining to do, because they know what i mean, even when i think i said things in a haphazard, confusing way.

    I dont think this is an LSE trait. It's an individual issue. Some individuals are bigots and racists. It's the case with most if not all types. Not type-related.

    I would in turn ask if you're romanticizing duality. I don't think I'm mistyping my duals, and I don't think there's that level of understanding at first, it's something you work on and eventually it clicks. It's almost like you know you're not speaking the same language but the words fit in somehow. Being duals doesn't automatically make them good people or compatible, and I've found duals who are shitty friends and people to be in a relationship with. It's just been my luck of the draw.

    Concerning my professor, it's more like he rehashes through what I say to put it into his language, and he does it often, and it's usually the same exact thing but just the way he'd put it, I never feel misrepresented when he reiterates what I've said. I find that he is most likely -creative, I'm not 100% sure on his leading IME.

    I don't like it when they make unrealistic plans. Especially if they include me as some kind of deus-ex-machina.

    does it actually make you insecure, or does it make you aware of how insecure you are ?

    there's nothing worse than a "non-cool" person trying to act "cool". So just be yourself. Be yourself. Be yourself! How many fucking times do I have to say it?

    Okay, this is true. I've tried and failed at being cool, and it was such a painful experience. But now, once in a while, I find out that someone said I *am* cool. And I always realize it's 'cause I was being myself.

    i dunno how some people don't understand what it entails to be cool.. and what being cool is about and so on .. .

    but some people just don't get it.

    that said, i still find songs like this amusing:

    Yeah, but don't you think that we have a certain collective image of what "cool" is, and some people meet it better than others? I'm not talking about being authentic, or being cool in a cool way, lol. I'm talking about that stereotype of coolness. I'm way too goofy to ever fit it, myself. Like Lou Reed in his VU days--he was cool. They wouldn't even have let me into the club.

    Be self-confident. Then you'll realize you ARE cool.
