Well yes and no. Yes cause you would joke but I'm wondering what's behind the joke, where the links come from etc.

Tall, dark and handsome... why?



IRL I'm pretty much as I am here except a lot more brief basically because I get feedback before my head starts to explode into tangents, retractions, reinforcements and so on. This text based malarkey is too damn slow some days.

Of course other days I just shut the lot out and hide

Of course it depends.. always in context.

That was as polarised as INTP are socially inept. I'm just typing not describing with accuracy. It's more of "this type is more prone to" even if it's only a 1% difference.

Well sometimes I want a discussion about something like whether it's more appropriate to consider X value more important than Y or if I'm just forgetting Z and in my circle the introverts tend to consider it more carefully where as the extroverts will tell you how simple it is and ask why you asked (which is not the kind of conversational direction which they often have patience for).

That's the thing with me though, I most often absorb really quickly. Oh and I have a boring job and a slow internet connection... I consider quite thoroughly what people say.... I just don't often convey it well
