I think that you may be correct in that some people mistake poor social skills or neurodivergence for introversion, or have their introverted tendencies exacerbated by other issues in their lives. My take on introversion is that it isn't so much that you don't want to be around any people at...

I've been heavily criticized a few times because I expressed discomfort with the idea of social media censorship, and often criticized Islam. Like, to clarify, I believe that groups on Facebook or forums run by private individuals should try to create a safe and welcoming environment for users...

Pink Floyd - Time Lollia - Matryoshka Lyriel - The Judgment Of My Harvest Heart

I believe you are probably correct, but I will also add that I think a lot of men are completely tired of playing that game and are not willing to embrace that solution, even if it is the only one on offer. I think a lot of men might well prefer continuing to fall behind over doing what is...

I think it's possible that God exists, although I believe that it wouldn't require a supernatural explanation if that turns out to be the case. Consider the idea that we are in a simulation. Who is the simulation's programmer? Can you prove this isn't a simulation? If the reality we live in is...

I'm probably the least qualified person in the world to judge "quiet quitting" because I've essentially almost never worked a day in my life as far as things I actually get paid for. Not to say I haven't ever helped someone else out with a job they get paid for and expected a favor, but I've...

I think that referring to what transwomen go through as "becoming a woman" makes it easy to dismiss the whole process with absurdly simplistic logic and references to biology textbooks, and it muddies the waters in a lot of unhelpful ways. The phrase I prefer is that a transwoman is "living AS...

Your Personality Is Like Cocaine You're dynamic, brilliant, and alluring to those who don't know you. Hyper and full of energy, you're usually the last one to leave a party. Sometimes your sharp mind gets the better of you... you're a bit paranoid! At your best: You're...

Actually, I think the reason is simple. Japanese people ARE "white," at least in terms of skin tone. They're not Caucasian, but that doesn't mean they're not white. The two should not be confused. There are Caucasians with darker skin than this, and they're still called "white." Japanese are...

INTJ 0% Extraversion, 78% Intuition, 56% Thinking and 78% Judging! It seems like your typical test. I usually score near 50% on T/F.

I can sort of feel myself getting sucked into the game layer already. Whenever I've played a game where they keep score of several people, I find myself repeating the game several times until I'm near the top of the chart. I find myself focusing on my reputation score and post count even...

She died in the chimney? She really, seriously thought you could go down a chimney? And they let her be a doctor? What a way to kill yourself, getting trapped in the chimney of your (ex)-boyfriend/girlfriend's house. Totally undignified.

Ah, okay. I would agree with that. I said that IF they valued each other enough, they might. It certainly wouldn't be typical. I didn't mean to imply that women do so in general. It was placed there to soften the previous paragraph with something that sounded positive. It was basically a...
