INFJ.

I don't really have an opinion on extroverts, come to think of it.

same question

The basic gist for me is ~ share in the compassion of life's light as enlightenment and intuition, and enforce not the aggression of death's darkness as benightedness and ignorance ~ given that the universe does rather do echoes and reflections infinitely and absolutely, sort of thing.

Did you ever go for the "Big-Bang" hypothesis as being a viable theory?

I have a belief that some sort of “universe” is an infinite entity.

Perhaps, the present-say Universe was instigated by a “Big Bang.”


T-Rex, or Triceratops

Triceratops all the way. He gets to be a nice blue / teal in my mind because of synesthesia for the number 3. I always thought he looked lonely like Eeyore, as if he moved slowly and had few friends.

I did an independent research report about him when I was 6, and I still have it somewhere.

Have you read Gone with the Wind?

No, or at least I don't recall ever doing so. I've seen a portion of the movie though.

What would you say is the biggest daily struggle of your life?

My biggest struggle is overcoming fear. It's my default emotion because of trauma, agoraphobia, social phobia and alexithymia which makes me unable to communicate my feelings very well, verbally. I pretty much freeze and go mute in every social situation.

You?

My struggle is being afraid to assert myself. And to be a better cleaner of the house.

Do you feel you have to “take the plunge” often? Do you feel you must do things sometimes before you are ready to do them?

My life was one long plunge for many years. I was continually paddling water and trying to appear normal / stay alive / deal with complex manipulation. I didn't slow down to reflect on patterns until after my stroke in 2015. That's when I began to understand my neurodiversity. I try not to plunge at all any more, although this can lead to overavoidant behaviour. I'm feeling a bit plunged today while visiting an old friend. I will lay low and not use his boat until tomorrow.

How do you stay afloat when you feel the plunge calling?

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore, waiting to take you away....

Where are they? I'm looking.
Why am I so homesick?

I guess I stay afloat because I have some stability in my life. I am overly cautious....but I feel it’s been good for me in some ways. Though I often think I should have done better with my life.

You’re “out there” for the first time in a while, Isabella. Maybe that’s why you feel homesick. It’s a break from routine.

Do you like the Peppermint Twist song?

Thanks, Kortie.
I think I'll be better once I take the boat for a day or two. I'm feeling anxious visiting and socializing, but was too tired to set out today. I needed a down-day to regroup. I listened to the song on You Tube. It was somewhat familiar and yes, I liked it.

If you had to trim a Christmas tree today, what colour of lights would you select?

Multi colors. I’m ambivalent about flickering lights.

Did you like the show “Flipper?”

I don't know Flipper.

How does schizoid personality differ from autism?

A person with Schizoid Personality Disorder might only be introverted and dislike company. There is not necessarily an evident disorder in pragmatics (i.e., social interaction). Rules of social interaction must be learned in autism, but are intrinsic in non-autistic people, including those who are introverted,

In the autistic spectrum, there is a disorder in pragmatics, especially of the intrinsic, instinctual variety. An autistic person might not be introverted and dislike social interaction. In Asperger’s, there is awkwardness, not a lack of desire, in social interaction. In classic autism, there is a relative lack of desire for social interaction intrinsically.

Do you believe cats have Asperger’s?

No...I think they are serial killers

How should you scratch your arse if you had no arms?

Try using your feet and toes.

How do your scratch the middle of your back when your fingers can’t quite reach those regions of the back?

I would train my dog to do it for me. (I was actually answering the previous question but it will suffice for both)

The best thing about your life?
