I'm a 5w4 and have a lot of trouble socially. I feel people seem to either love or hate me. I'm interested in buddhism and try hard to be a good, loving, kind, compassionate person. I think an outsider would view me as relatively attractive with a "good life". My husband says people are jealous of me and that's why I have trouble finding good friends, or why I get negative responses from some people. But really I think there must be real reasons why people dislike a 5w4? Is there some sort of vibe a 5w4 gives off that repels others?

There were more than enough misinterpretations to go around in all directions, guys.

Assumptions were made, positions were taken, mindsets were hardened, backs were turned.


Irreparable damage was done on several fronts.

But seriously though - I know you were only joking about being fully conscious of your agressions and so on. Obviously, you were.

But perhaps you take things too much to heart -- like growing an authentic replica "GI Gurdjieff" moustache just like your favoured teacher (just kidding!), or like our little tiffs and spats of yesteryear.

I kinda forgot them pretty fast, fun though they were. I can let them wash off me. It's easier to do when you have a less dramatic self-image; there's less of a city to come crumbling down and it's not so precarious in the face of comparison.



No hard feelings (and only teasing about the moustache).

The objectifying of a person. It's a form of aggression. Pretending to know one's CORE MOTIVATIONS (that's what the E is about, right ? motivation) based on the artificial and dehumanized interactions of a discussion board.

IT DOESN'T WORK.

And while this is not meant as a provocation either, i'd have to say that many, many of the things that I've been called out on, you've also been guilty of and yet it's overlooked. It's in the partisan nature of things. Just the way it goes.

If I don't interest you, just stop mentioning me every other post. Otherwise I will take it as some kind of interest.

And if you want people to accept your answers, it's usually necessary to reciprocate. At least in this instance (I think), VO isn't the type of person to be 'bludgeoned' into doing it first herself.

I don't understand?

She says it was a joke (and at the time, I thought so too - she's currently an SO/SX 8w7, because sexual fives suck after all), you say you weren't [blocked due to guideline #4 violation] at retyping per se, but at how various people were acting when they retyped you.



To VO: Trying to find a circa 2004 thread on the current board is impossible in some cases on this board. You know that, I know that. Some of the older threads have been archived offline or just plain deleted. It's disingenuous to demand evidence in this case.

I didn't think it was a joke. I think she was bothered by lila re-typing her beacause I've noticed she tends to play up a lot for lila -- tending to show off and such, rather a lot, when lila is on the threads.

The dreamweever thing: because I didn't pay enough attention to him/her. Big deal. I am not one to scrutinize every noobs and trolls in order to figure out their identity. I don't have enough time for that.

Yes, show me the thread where I said that. My memory ain't that great.

I know. You can't even remember answers I put to you yesterday.

Moreover, I am fairly certain jase types me as a Five now. Again, ask him to confirm.

why are your answers so conntinually unconvincing in the face of the facts?

Okay...what about this. What did marie do that offended you so much at that time, when she did some tentative retyping of you?

she was the last straw in a matter that began snowballing on EIDB. Why do you not want to acknowledge answers? do you even read them?

Sometimes I don't actually feel interested in the discussion in question, and used a lame excuse not to contribute.

It was a joke, and a lame excuse.

you're not really capable of irony. it's only 72 hourssince you realised that I did not report dreemweever becasue I was dreemweever, and dreemweever was created to make fun of you.

that's why i don't believe it was a joke

Well, you continued to evade the question.

The question has just ben answered for the second time, above.


Remember that you also became abusive to me after I retyped you, so your reaction to marie came across as very similar to your reaction to myself earlier on, in the EI.
quote:
Why did I not become abusive to Invicta. Do have reading comprehenion deficits?


I did respond to your questions, when they are directly addressed to me. I am not interested in responding to questions and statements referred to in the third person.
quote:
I think the third person is perfectly good for you: I think you're simple and I never oncetook you seriously other than to mock you or show you up as I'm doing now.
Also, have you found the thread where jase typed me as a Four?

Again, why are your responses so weak and unconvincing? Why do you insist in embarrasing yourself despite your claim that you would immediately withdraw from such situations.

Why do you think you're a contest for me rather than a hobby?

So I am wondering. What is it about retyping that is so offensive to you?

8w7 soc/sx, because sexual fives suck



quote:
Actually, Leda re-typed me long before I appeared on ediots.

As I said, the first re-typing was from Invicta, in the 'kimberley' days. I regarded it as a curiosity that I'd never considered. I think Invicta can confirm that I've never gone after her. I actually get on fine with her online and occasionaly off.

By the time Leda re-typed me, I was getting the feeling that it was because I had drawn too much negative attention to myself on the EIDB and was seen as a bit cocky and arrogant, and that people were just doing it for the hell of it with no intelligent reasons to back their claim (your own efforts in particular were littered with unintelligent, off-the-wall reasons). This was a feeling that remained, and was bolstered when CD challenged JohnB for type-nazi-ing me in the middle of an unrelated thread and he admitted he was only doing it to wind me up*.

The first time I went after Leda, marie and Veiled one was not the occasion that led to marie's departure; it was exactly six months earlier in October 2007. The only time of my retyping on ediots was in April 2007, immediatey following the EIDB fight with carlos.

The time of marie's departure was April 2008 and involved no re-typing at all.



*At the time of marie's departure, Leda finally came forward and openly admitted that she had no problem with my self-typing and "had only jumped on the bandwagon at the time". And so my suspicions were confirmed.



The reason I flared at you and Leda and slider (and not marie, because that was a different occasion and for very different reasons) was much the same as the reason carlos flared at me when I was niggling at him on the EIDB: I saw you as irritating "mosquitoes" (albeit his anger at me was for separate reasons, probably more aligned with what he recently put to dfgray), and Leda's admission confirmed my suspicion.





Why do you keep avoiding the answer and hoping that you will hear what you want to hear?

Why did you not contribute to discussions on your type just because you were being re-typed?

Why did you pretend that your whining to marie on the Sexual Fives thread was a joke?

Why are your answers so weak?
