Actually I think you might have gotten me with that post (if you were, in fact, trying to make me think I’d offended you by calling it ‘faking’ 😛 ), if we hadn’t just been talking about this. *shakes head* That tells you how much I overthink things. Reading more than is really there. :
Never fear, though, for I most certainly have not…[Read more]

@Daeus
I see.
*muffles laughter*

And I appreciate the devotion, @Kate-Flournoy. 😉

@Daeus That is hilarious.

Also, I may or may not have subconsciously decided that your tendency to worry over words is a fun button to press. I may or may not be mischevious like that every once and a while. I shall have to think about this.

*groan* I can’t answer for my worry, then. 😛
Okay…we’ll see if that happens how often I can tell when…[Read more]

Oh, wait. The no offense speech was well worth the time you spent writing it, if only for my merriment. Very humorous.

@Daeus Heh…I take that to mean I was worrying for no reason. 😛 (But—‘accepting but judgemental’, your contradiction! I could have had reason to worry!) Well, thanks anyway. I feel very much easier now. *wry grin*
I shall…[Read more]

Yup @Kate-Flournoy. The difference between J and P, I guess.

Did you re-rehearse it afterwards millions of times in preparation for a similar situation in the future?
@Daeus Kinda; more like resaid it a million times afterwards with how I wish I’d said it, and berated myself for not having been calmer. 😛

@Bluejay Yeah, that sounds right. I’ve…[Read more]

@Daeus

No, you’re not sounding crazy; I just wasn’t sure what you were talking about at first. 🙂
I understand you now; mostly. If you mean by ‘manipulating by influence’ that I was doing this at someone elses’ request (which I don’t think is what you mean?), I wasn’t. I did it by myself, because I was afraid if a third party weren’t involved,…[Read more]

Wh-wh-what?
Uh…sorry, I don’t think I’m getting what you’re talking about.
Kate thinks maybe when we first met in person?
Okay…okay. Is that what you mean?

@Daeus

@Daeus

And then, there’s lot’s of variance even within types and personality things that belong only to an individual.
Oh, certainly. And that’s good.

But there is one thing that will absolutely break me. That is a touch of love in the midst of absolute darkness and despair — an undying faith in the truth in such circumstances — hope where i…[Read more]

Hello and welcome, @Rebelutoinary!
Where do you live now?

Oh and @Bluejay, most certainly, do post the video link when you can. 🙂

Not that I’m really the one to say that, but when the idea somehow popped into my head without any context, my immediate reaction was “wow, how did I not guess that before?”
You mean before we were talking about it on here, @Daeus, right? Huh. Well, being an ENFJ yourself, it would make sense for you to recognize others. 🙂
Oh, I thought of somet…[Read more]

This is funny because it just struck me a few days ago that you acted very ENFJ.
@Daeus Funny that Kate said I was predominantly ISFJ? Weeelll…she said that, not I. 😉 I’ve taken the test several times because it kept turning out different, and it’s turned out ENFJ, ISFJ, INFJ, and ESFJ. (!) The only one that ever turned out the same twice was…[Read more]

just because they feel everyone elses’ feelings doesn’t mean they haven’t got feelings of their own, and most of the time those are stronger than the ‘second-hand’ feelings, if you will. A perfect empath would never get impatient and would always be completely compassionate, but none of us are perfect, now are we?
@Kate-Flournoy Oh whoops, I…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy
Gotcha.
Probably. 😛
But if empaths can’t ever ‘not feel’ anything, how can they ever get impatient with anyone, since they’ll feel how the other person feels, and won’t have the heart to be impatient?

When I start drawing on your convenience too much, let me know and I’ll stop. 😛

It’s okay, Kylo Ren. Your existence is helping people understand people better, even if they’re not talking about you.

@Kate-Flournoy I think I get you…
So then when I feel terribly sorry or happy for someone, it’s sympathy? Even though the emotion I am experiencing for them is the the same one they are experiencing?
With your example of the kid on the sidewalk (poor little guy!), it looks like you’re saying empathy is primarily for emotions… is that right? So…[Read more]

So Kate, is it due to being an empath that I cringe and feel like disabling all my sensors when seeing and hearing all the chopping and slicing in too-graphic battle scenes? (Or even some other, not graphic, things. Like Mike Wasowski slamming himself into a sitting position on a metal bar to make Boo laugh—that part makes me seriously want to…[Read more]

@Sarah-H

Thanks. 🙂
