I am more serious than the ST and SF I know, but my NF husband is more serious than I am.

Fair enough. But you're more serious than the average person you know, correct?

My friends nicknamed me "Jane Eyre" in high school. (Not that they actuall read the book, they saw snippets of the Orson Wells movie in high school)

I assume Jane was a serious character, otherwise that would make no sense.

I think this thread is offensive to all NF's and should be prompty deleted from the forums. The backlash of such a thread can cause drastic consequences that should be thoroughly noted.

Edahn · 01-06-2009, 12:07 AM

Yeah, okay, I'll get right on that.

NOT

I tend to like living a moronic cake walk life, but I do realize sometimes life does need seriousness. I just figure day to day interactions don't need to be that serious. I rather enjoy life worry about stupid things that ultimately don't matter.

cascadeco · 01-06-2009, 12:27 AM

I think I'm much more serious than most, but I wouldn't say any more serious than some of the INT's I know.

(I probably should have voted differently, but oh well)

kyuuei · 01-06-2009, 12:33 AM

I think I witness the same thing, Edahn. I think in the end it seems to all balance out.. They're serious when I'm not, and often the roles are reversed and I'm more serious than the rest. No difference in the end of it all.

This is also a bit bias, as I don't believe the quantity of silly behavior contributes to the quantity of serious behavior.

Shirley you can't be serious

I think I swing both ways: I can be very serious when necessary, and can be more playful on some occasions. (not intended in any gross way).
