Hi Ryan! I won't ignore your post, since you were polite with your observations.

Haha haven't hit my head. But I have taken a bit of a break from socionics, and admit I am rusty. If you don't use it, you lose it. That, and I've average like 4 hours of sleep a night over the past 5 days... been busy, which is excellent, but not necessarily thinking clearly.

This is more or less a learned skill, learning to check the credibility of anyone who gives an opinion. I'm not sure if this is socionics-related. Perhaps Te-related. When I was new, some of my posts from 1.5 years ago, I'd consider everyone's opinion, but now, I find it important to not be influenced by people who don't know what they are talking about, or don't have the fruit on the tree, or what you are striving to get.

I apologize for my stubbornness before. I'm sure it must have been frustrating for many forum members here... reading several people-skills books the past couple of months seems to have helped a lot, and I'm continuing to work on my... agreeableness, we'll call it lol.

How have you been, Ryan? What is Game of Thrones? I'm out of the pop-culture loop, with being so busy...

Funny story... I was chatting with a coworker a couple of months ago, and she said she was going to watch Hunger Games... I asked her what that was... she asked if I had been living under a rock lol.

I'm able to laugh at myself now, I've been so focused on being all-business for a while, so serious, not paying attention to other aspects of life.
