Good: Being able to make other people feel comfortable. Being able to read them in a way most people cannot and know very quickly what they like/don't like, how to make them laugh, how to make them feel wanted and needed.
Bad: Knowing that very few, if anyone, can do the same for you.

+abstract thinking and creativity
+original point of view
-took me a long time to realise people don't often see things the same way I think they obviously must be
-too many interesting thoughts and ideas sometimes lead to not being able to fall asleep or concentrate/finish one thing
-sense of loneliness, not many people understand me on the level I'd wish them to
-getting things out of my head so that other people understand them takes some effort
-getting easily overwhelmed by surroundings
...this list makes it look like I don't appreciate being like this, but actually I do. I have a lot of good times by myself.

Strengths include...
- Being force sensitive.
- Being able to intuitively grasp what others are feeling without them having to spell it out to us.
- Being good with abstract/figurative language.
- Death staring people into submission.
- Being able to see the matrix.
Weaknesses include...
- Being unable to take anyone at face value and thus feeling overwhelmed and invaded by overly aggressive social conventions.
- Rarely receiving the same degree of understanding and investment that we are often prepared to give to others.
- Struggling to meet like-minded people. Loneliness and depression ensues.
- Failing to translate thoughts into something anyone else can understand, inspiring others to conclude that we are insane/on drugs.
- Zoning out whilst someone is talking to you. Not a good way to make friends.
