    How do y'all handle death from someone close to you?

    I often feel relief. I feel death is merely a doorway and am actually happy when someone suffering has passed. It would be selfish of me to want them to stay and suffer. ... I had a friend once who died suddenly. I was sad because I missed her terribly (I still do), and I felt bad because she...

    Being categorized as “stuck up”

    I've heard it. My mistake is that it hurt me so much to hear that they thought I was "arrogant, an asshole, or just weird." I now realize it is part of the power struggle that is so important in the NT world. Labeling me de-legitimizes me and neutralizes any perceived threat that I may pose; but...

    Communal Seating

    Interesting post! I feel the same way on a train, sitting across strangers. Feels kinda like a blind date.

    What motivates you at work?

    I find that group meeting for me (not for the group) are terribly inefficient. When I worked for a large chain, the seemed to be a necessary evil, but personally, I couldn't spent my time better by working. For me, one on one feedback works best. Good luck!

    How NTs respond to you

    I try to figure out what the social construct is that we're working with. If I can guess what it is correctly, I can communicate well with NTs. Without knowing the template, lines of communication will be crossed and confusion will result.

    Is this garbage?

    And who is FAAAS? How come I've never heard of them throughout finding TMT for my daughter? No reference to it until now? and Sociopathy? Really? I find that true sociological sociopathy is a result of social constructs (an NT trait)... and sociopaths don't have problems understanding others'...

    Does anyone find advertising to be really stupid?

    Unfortunately, most of our decisions seem to be subliminal... mentioned earlier the "target" for the stupid ads... I do find myself wondering what the ad is for, sometimes.... but the jingles, images, etc stick in my head. I like to think I make rational choices, but have to wonder how much I've...

    Does anyone find advertising to be really stupid?

    There was a weight loss one once (always the worst)... a late night infomercial or something. (Infomercial... there's an oxymoron for ya) Anywho, you could call for a free sample. Right after they announced "free sample," a woman with a southern accent comes on and says, "Thar givvin it awaay...

    I'm still laughing about this one!

    Does anyone find advertising to be really stupid?

    I've noticed that trend. I guess they're targeting boomerang kids or guys that don't marry. I'm married with kids and don't have any disposable income. I'm sure most men from the past were the same, and the women of the households had more control over the family dollars, and thus, were targeted...

    Does anyone find advertising to be really stupid?

    I find myself laughing during advertising. Sometimes it pisses off people around me. They don't see the humor... ie the razor commercials out there: the new high speed razor 7 bladed lubricated with a waffle iron, etc.. turns into a jet airplane and lands on your face or a two robot razors...
