| I don't believe in "gender". Just biological sex. As a scientist, I just can't wrap my head around this whole weird social stuff going on with gender. It's nonexistent and I don't support it and never have. The only thing that makes you male or female is your DNA. I'm not including uni-sex... |

| Most introverted people hate small talk. Small talk is the basic weather information or asking someone what they're doing after work. Well, at least from my understanding. My brother is an extrovert, but he hates small talk as much as I do (I'm an NT). I understand what small talk is and the purpose... |

| I know that a lot of you do this--and I figured almost everyone does it until I asked my friend. I can listen to the same song for hours and days without getting sick of it. I usually stop listening to it if I find a new song that I like even more. For instance, an example of my Last.FM http://i.img... |

| When people give me verbal instructions--my mind automatically goes into autopilot. I don't even try to understand what they say anymore because I'll just get frustrated. I just stare at them blankly and they usually say nevermind, haha! |

I'm also an artist, and a complete nature freak. Half my computer is filled with images of outfits that I would like to die in. B... |

I consider myself quite fashionable :P I even have a blog dedicated (below) to my clothes and the things that I do. I didn't care for makeup until I was nineteen, now I absolut... |

They have many, many social rules, many of them unspoken. They will not tell you if you are rude or offensive. You will simply find you... |

Yes, my body is always tensed--especially my shoulders. I should probably get deep tissue massages more often...
I grind my teeth as well... Friends and ex boyfriends usually try to tell me to "relax"--even when I do not notice that my body is all tensed up... |
