    Also: is there really so much shame in not having friends? I don't really have any and I don't care.
    maybe you're missing the point on purpose but that's okay. i wasn't expecting any "now i've seen the light" lol.

    sorry if i'm being obnoxious but i've been keeping my vitriol pretty well contained here all things considered.

    Lungs, it might not mean much but I relate to you and support you even if other people can't. Personally this is how I try to deal with the meanies of the world who treat me in a way that I know that I don't deserve:

He also breaks under pressure fairly quickly, there's a noticeable tendency of puffing his chest then withdrawing through obfuscation, and nitpicking as forms of evasion. It's actually pretty comical how fast he goes from attacking to defending himself. My guess has been that korpsy is an emotionally fragile individual who doesn't do well against people attacking him. He withdraws as a defense mechanism, and alludes to having a greater understanding and information source to protect his fragile ego from scrutiny and pressurized attacks in an area he is sensitive in as well as allowing him to maintain his image as someone whose intellect is worthwhile. This also has the added benefit of allowing him to be fairly emotionally detached when interacting with people, although from his comments I believe he is severely underestimating the impact some of these exchanges have on him (given that any attempt in discussing his emotional sphere ends in a misdirection, this is probably another sensitive area of his, one he is mostly oblivious to in terms of understanding). If I had to guess, judging by his personality, his intellect is probably where he derives his sense of self worth from as I doubt he has gotten much praise for his personality and 'pleasantness'. Another guess - it is his inability to deal with these aspects of his life that lead to relationships dissipating for him and/or people being repulsed by him, not so much the characteristics themselves. So long story short, yes he is essentially a pussy.

    Somehow I feel as though you are taking this as a confession that I cannot have friends and that I am not -- in my way -- a likeable person. This is not true and it is not what I am "admiting" about myself. I have extremely good manners and I am nice to people. I am sometimes interested in what they have to say. In short: I'm fairly "normal". There are people who would readily like to be my friend, but I keep my social circle microscopically narrow very much on purpose. People and their problem and quirks stress me out terribly. If I am going to take someone as a friend an, consequently, taking on the burdens of that friendship there has to be an exceptional reason for it. Because my social needs are very, very low and the stress of being a friend outweigh the benefits for me.

    In basic terms we both made mistakes of judgment. Best of luck learning and moving on. If there is an essential point you need to settle in this private dispute then I am amenable to finding a compromise or solution to it privately (via text, PM, &c.) but I'm not going to haggle over it in the street.

    Piress has been burning the midnight oil but also breathing too much of its fumes. Bonus points for using all the buzzwords from your reading.

    Edit: Rephrase your complaint so it contains less of yourself, and in the interest of good sportsmanship I'll answer to a couple (2) select charges.

    What's your take on mirror neurons and have you considered their implications in the interpersonal dynamics you just mentioned?

    Oh noes. Korpsey, are you actually begging for a PM, or am I a patient dying from cancer? And to think after mulling over some people on here, you don't want people talking about you in public.

    That's what I call a change of scenery...

    Lungs, quick, merge your account with mine so I can send korpsey a PM (so it is going to look like you did) and listen very patiently to him, and heal his soul after.

    I'm a little rusty on this subject. I took a neurobiology course, but it was quite some time ago.

    My understanding of mirror neurons is that they trigger mostly with visual stimulation and play a large part in our abilities to read emotions and learn physical things (by this I mean how to tie ones shoes, not important dates in the civil war). I've also read that they play a strong role in human empathy.

    I have fine motor skill issues (dysgraphia etc.), and I've flunked those emotion reading tests when I was a kid, so the suggestion that I am lacking in mirror neurons would not be unfounded. I'm not sure it plays much of a role of my lack of desire to socialize, although one possible thesis is that a brain lacking in mirror neurons does not receive as much stimulation during social interactions.

    very nice of you to take the high ground now, when i already have the "masochist" meme attached to my face. I'd start a "sadistic sociopath" meme in return but somebody more astute already came up with that one while i was still busy being a "masochistic" fool.

    i would consider this since he's a strong ni subtype and he's more skilled at emotional manipulation and image control than i would expect from an Fe polr. but in the flesh he's stiff and doofy and not nearly as engaged and responsive to nonverbal emotional cues as an Fe ego would be. he's just skilled and experienced at fucking with people on the internet.

    Yeah in defense of both @Scapegrace and @jessica129 I never found you guys soulless spawns of the devil or anything. Just that your needs for social interaction was naturally low. It probably has to do with some sort of brain chemicals, I might study it more later.

    However I just found out that I'm kind of the opposite. My social needs are just rather high and I need a lot of social interaction. It always bored me in school when nobody was talking about anything and we all had to 'just do the assignment.' and the teacher was like 'shhh no talking.' I can talk if i want im not necessarily giving anybody answers to your stupid test. even if im shy and introverted i'm really stimulated by others and what they say. just different orientations or something.

    I'm not sure if there's some sort of chemical reason for it. I always felt oddly more mature than my peers so even when I was in like 5th grade, it was like trying to get a 30 year old to be buddy-buddy with a 10 year old. I always felt weird and bored by the whole thing. But that is the story of my life, is it not? lol. Ho-hum. I always loved having a strict teacher who made everyone be quiet. lol
