I know when I was growing up, or when I had 'down' times it felt like... well... s**t...
but that great fertiliser for roses.

So I thought maybe it would help people who are feeling s**t, to know that out of s**t comes roses.

There seems to be a mode to cure us of their disease.

comfort in numbers.

Do I LOVE who I am?

No, I wouldn't go that far, I'm too perfectionist for that. I'm okay with who I am. I like myself just fine. I think the rest of the world is full of idiots and I do wish most of them would leave me alone. Most of them do, but the worst of the worst just can't seem to help themselves.

Both at the same time, but leaning toward wishing to be NT, to be perfectly honest. Part of me likes the intelligence and talented art skills that come with it, but moreso, I would like to have social skills, not to be an adult living home while all of my former NT friends are off and about, to be able to drive sooner, to be able to actually not have my talents limited to art, and to not overreact at small things.

No point in being ashamed of it, though, seeing as how I'm stuck with it. :)

So I guess that it's more that people have as poor social skills with you as they have with them?

I suppose that depends on how you define you and LOVE.

If you love perfection and you are a perfectionist, is that not who you are?

Wishing to be NT is like wishing you were blond

Yes but you can't be a real blond, it's like you had to go to the hairdresser and have the color once a month and being willingly lying on your real color all the time (well almost all the time)
