You know you're an Sx-dom when you feel compelled to respond to > 80% of the material on this thread.
Another thing I want to add to "You know you're an Sx-dom when..." is:
When you are not repulsed at all by hypersexuality, teenage sex, porn, etc., and when you secretly are turned on by (some) sexual jokes that are meant for purely comical purposes.
...when all you wanna do is experience life intensely before your time comes
Exactly!
You're sx-so when (and sp-tarded!):
...when you haven't even thought about whether or not it'll rain, be cold, if you have to bring drinks or not and are daydreaming about who you're going to meet and what you're going to be experiencing.
Mmm, not really. I worry very much about being cold or if it will rain. For one, I HATE being wet (and I thus hate the rain), and I definitely dislike the cold. In fact, that is one of the factors of determining of where I choose to live: the place must NOT be cold.
...when money is so uninteresting, it's no even funny as it's a fucking necessity in this society
I know, right?!?
when you try to get everyone you know enthuasitc about an idea or something that's going on in the world that you really think matters, and they look at you as if you're crazy and you feel disappoint : (
Unless it is shameful, yes!
Though, admittedly, I intentionally (though shamefully) get people to realize what it is that's bothering me or what it is I'm so excited about without being direct about it (it's hard to articulate). For example, I sometimes intentionally put on a very noticeable 'mopey' face to get people to notice that there's something wrong with me so that they can ask me and I can tell them that I'm in love with this girl and I can't do anything about it. They usually don't care, though. Not like it matters much, anyway. I'm not trying to get advice on what to do (I've already got enough of that from another source lol), I simply want them to know the intensity that the crush brings to me.
When socialites loath your uncompromising and honest opinions on what matters to you.
+1!
- When you like something or someone YOU REALLY REALLY LIKE IT.
- You're relieved that the person you're currently focused on wasn't scared away by the intensity and honesty of what you said last night.
I relate to that as well.
so and sp is also more 'useful' I'd wager.
Fuck that!
You know you are Sx-dom when you love that song:
[youtube=WF_-DST-6oA]that's Sx![/youtube]
Just the title by itself suffices.
My my yes. Conversely, when you hate something or someone, you really really hate it. Although I wouldn't say hate (i am a 9, after all) more like repulsed. Things or people attract me or repulse me and I am immediately aware which is which. I try to not be judgmental in that fashion, but if there's something repellant, there's no changing it.
Same, although I have no capacity to hate anyone.
The fear of losing favor with your infatuation or confessor... The most terrifying thing for me.
YESSS!!! I have a specific instance, actually, that demonstrates this perfectly. For a little over a year now, I've had an INTENSE crush on this girl at my school, and it got to the point where that's all I would ever think about. It was a roller coaster of emotions: one minute I felt on top of the world if I had reason for hope, the next minute I felt the lowest of the low because I had reason to be hopeless. Anyway, I don't mean to derail from what I'm trying to say here, so what happened was I became so desperate to find a solution that I actually joined an online forum community specifically for intense infatuations -- but what I didn't realize that it was a support forum to "
move on" rather than help you attain your object of affection. So basically the whole time I was there -- from December of 2010 to March of 2011, daily -- I would frequently find myself disagreeing with most of the members there that it was something horribly disruptive and unhealthy and that it needed to be resolved -- I embraced it. I didn't care if it was (don't care if it is) unhealthy or not lol.
You know you are when seeking intimacy is the number one driving force in your life....
Mhmm.
Just any area where I don't need a car to get around and there's a party every night.
This one is interesting. I agree that I'd rather live in an area where I didn't have to drive a car hardly at all, BUT there's also an Sp reason behind that, and that is that I have a fear of driving.
You know you're sx-dom when entering a room unnoticed isn't an option, nor is flying under the radar.
I don't relate to that at ALL. I think that's more of an extravert vs. introvert thing.
you know you're an Sx dom when
- you snuggle with a pillow if you're lonely
- you have a split personality between flamboyant/magnetic and sweet/nurturing
-
you love romantic stories...and you're a guy
-
you feel a constant "longing" for something. you wish it would go away, but it doesn't.
[...]
- you know how to get someone comfortable and close to you in a very short amount of time
- you catch every sexual joke, whether the person meant to say it or not
- people frequently compare you to elements: fiery, electric, icy, breath of fresh air
- you walk into a room and completely change the energy
- people either love you or hate you, but everyone has an opinion about you
- you always make sure you're lookin' fly when you head out the door
- you related to the main characters from Night at the Roxbury
Agreed with the bolded.
- you have long, obsessive and downright painful crushes on people
Yes, yes, double yes!! ^_^
Well, I've talked to an Intuitive who has sp last, and I don't relate to her at all about the physical world...I don't know if it's because she's so intuitive, so sp last, or what...but it has nothing to do with her social class or attitude toward money. I mentioned that because that is why *some people* say "oh money doesn't matter" or "money shouldn't matter"...it's because they've never had to worry about money in their life.
But anyway, yes the N/sp last person said she can forget to eat and forget her body and has a harder time staying in her body all that kind of stuff that is stereotypically N...but I think it may also have to do with being sp last in enneagram.
I don't relate. I don't forget to eat. I like to eat. If I don't go outdoors regularly, I get depressed. If I don't get enough physical activity, I can get depressed. I can "get into" my body easily, though I'm also in my head, and I can go through phases where I'm very "prepared" or over-prepared like an sp dom...but I'm much more of an sx dom, and I honestly think my sx/sp shows up the most in my defensive, emotionally reactive behavior.
Well, yes, of course it matters, Marm. But this is a result of a capitalistic society.
And I'm not at all motivated to put myself through hardship to obtain them, and that includes working a job I do not enjoy. I find it much easier to live without them then
Agreeeeed!
If you're with a group of people, you forget to talk to anyone else, and you don't hear their conversations.
- When mediocrity, esp of feeling, is scary.
when you assume because you want it it's how things should be, and when you can't let go of things you want fast enough and as a result end up not handling disappointment too well
Agreed to all three.
So one question for anyone who has read this... does it still mean I'm Sp-dom if the biggest characteristic of Sp I have is that you worry immensely about feeling physical pain and discomfort? Because that seems to be my trouble, which is why I often shy away from doing intense experiences. It might just have to do with me being 6, though. I can't tell.
