I know I'm intense and a deep thinker, and for the most part I like that about myself. BUT, I also am terrible at taking criticism - I take things much too personally and can sometimes make mountains out of molehills.
I can totally relate to being referred to as "intense" and "deep," and it's definitely not always in a good way. I don't, however, take myself TOO seriously and am able to take criticism faily well... especially because I'm my own worst critic.
I find that people who are critical of me because of my "intensity" are generally put off by my striving to "figure them out"... even when I don't purposely set out to do it, I usually become the most involved with those people that I feel "need" me emotionally. I think that those kinds of people are also the ones who are least likely to be open to my prying and "fix it" nature.
