I can identify with a lot of what you're saying, Phoenix. I've been called weird for as long as I can remember, and although I can understand it a bit at times I've been called weird without being conscious of how I've even given that impression! My flatmates used to tell me 'You're weird, but in a good way!', and once gave me a challenge to not be weird for 10 minutes (...which I failed, it involved getting flour all over my face, I digress...) Now I just sort of run with it, and appreciate feeling different, and find self-deprecation goes a long way. (Waaait...pity party! I hate myself, I am a freak etc.) In terms of the analysing everything - yes, too true. I genuinely just cannot imagine what it would be like not to analyse everything because it is so integral to who I am, and I have asked questions continuously since I was a child. Sometimes I think it would be so refreshing to have an 'off' button instead of relentless thoughts which I have to analyse. That button would be especially nice when I was trying to sleep, instead of my brain bombarding me with ideas and stuff that feels like it needs immediate appraisal. I get pissed off when people tell me I analyse stuff too much though, and want to suggest maybe they don't analyse them enough. I appreciate that I can come off as really intense too, but I think for me life is generally vivid and I'm not sure how to make stuff less intense. The stuff about having to explain yourself when you opened your mouth I related to as well - I think now I just modify what I say around people, presuming that they won't necessarily understand where I'm coming from. But I'm fortunate to have some people who understand me a lot better than I give them credit for, which I appreciate when I'm not too wrapped in my 'woe is me, nobody understands me' blanket. In terms of the lateness and disorganisation that almost every ENFP has - it is definitely one of my worst faults, and I despise it in myself. I envy the ease with which other people can be organised/on time, but equally resent myself for not managing to do something than on the surface seems so easy. I forget what else you said which resonated with me but ummm *hug*?
