I cannot express my relief at finally taking a bunch of personality tests on a whim and then reading up on my type.
And when i say relief i mean "your testicular cancer seems to be in full remission" relief.
It comes mostly from the fact that now i know why i get these odd bouts of detachment when a lot of stimuli is present (mostly loud groups of people).
At times it is so bad its like I'm just a passerby looking through a dirty window at my life.
The sad part is that this is something that worried me for 10+ years (and im not even 25 yet. questioning your own sanity is fun) and was a very closely guarded secret.
Not even the one person who i can let my guard down around knows about this, and it turns out to be totally normal for people of my personality type .
I even have family members who are very interested in personality typing and get any info they can on it.
It pisses me off to think i was going around for so long thinking i was mentally ill when if i had randomly picked someone around me to tell about it 2/3 odds they would have had calming information for me.
My reasoning basically being "dude, you are weird enough, don't go adding crap you can hide to the things you cannot".
Hindsight eh?
