A guy in my friend group (SEI) just got a new girlfriend. Was quite an eye opening experience for me.
When she arrived she kind of blew into the room loudly talking to people and telling them how much she had heard about them. I was instantly struck by this - holy cow kind of feeling. She appeared very self confident and she didn't appear to care what anyone thought at all. Her voice was quite hmm jarring almost to me.
I've met her again since and i get a similar impression. I'm not normally intimidated by many people but i'm certainly a bit unnerved by her. She has this self assured, cockinesss. She talked quickly, and while the SEI was enjoying the conversation i felt i couldn't even keep up (who are they talking about, what they are talking about, what is significant about that). I think i felt my Polr getting spanked even when she wasn't speaking to me.
Its quite a contrast to my ILE friend. He and i just chill out and play video games, often we talk about stuff we are doing for self improvement. Hes quite soft and friendly. Come to think of it i've never felt him slap my Polr at all, if anything he probably helps me figure things out. Remarkable really.
Hopefully i didn't offend anyone with this. The SEI is clearly very happy and i'm happy for him. Shes highly intelligent, intimidatingly so. But WOAH BOY, strong personality.
