Both the class clown and the mad genius. I was hyperactive (I can still remember running around the classroom on several occasions), extremely noisy, and got bored very easily. I loved talking to people, was very curious about everything, and was the person the teachers would get to make presentations to visitors; I loved to act, and was often given the main part in school plays. I would often sing or talk to myself (I still do!), I tended to react to every situation, and often got into trouble with my parents for over-dramatising every situation or for running around like a mad thing. (both very detail-focused; Dad still nags me for filling the kettle too full, clattering the cupboards, being noisy when unpacking the dishwasher. Meh, I need to move out.) I used to get into fights a lot too, and one of my friends says that I used to swear like a comic colonel - damn, bloody, bugger, etc. I was very imaginative, and my favourite games were acting out stories (usually fantasy) with friends, making things up as we went along; I can also remember drawing lots of maps of made-up places, pretending that things around the house were zoos or jungles or prehistoric times, and inventing a pantheon of gods in the garden. I was a voracious reader, particularly of mythology, natural history; I'd read the Just So Stories and the Jungle Book by the time I was in kindergarten, and read the Lord of the Rings in first grade; loved Dr. Who as well. I did well in anything that interested me - English, drama, art - but hated maths, because I found it boring. When I left Australia for Belgium in Grade 5, my teachers were horrified that I'd never learnt how to learn, and so basically had to teach me the fundamentals of maths.

I was withdrawn, however i still managed to get everyone to like me. I didn't like being outside. I'd rather read books. My mom said that in the kindergarten / play school i was bored and didn't go out like the other boys would. I often played alone. Sure, i liked others, but yeah. A lot revolved around "know know now!"

I asked my mum how i was as a child to find out my personality type... She is said i was exhausting. I wanted to know how a nuclear plant worked at the age of 4. I spoke three word sentences at the age of 3. I was super upfront about what i wanted. I went to sleep at 11 o'clock, and 4 o'clock i was saying "Mama, Jan awake! Wake up!"

I asked about everything. I was bold. I was always topping things up. I had to be with my grandparents at the age of 3-4 for a week. I exhausted them. My granddad said to himself: "I will make three crosses when this is over." I heard that and turned around, saying: "three crosses, grandpa? FIVE." with my full hand stretched out.
I said "Goodbye grandpa" to St. Nicolaus on St. Nicolaus day because i knew it was him at age 3-5. I mean, it was obvious, wasn't it? Grandpa always vanishes, then St. Nicolaus comes, who somehow has the same voice as grandpa. And then grandpa says "he is afraid of St. Nicolaus". Lol funny man my grandpa.

As a kid, i hated to participate in nonsensical behavior. In play school, an intern wanted to read a book with us. I asked "can i also see this book myself?". She said "No." I said "I think this is stupid. I will go play with blocks". Something i don't want, i don't do.. I still have problems doing stuff i think is stupid. It's just. It makes NO SENSE, damn. I am not going to be participating in this stupidity.

The nursery nurse was super SJ and told everyone i wasn't normal. She wasn't normal. She was super super super hygienic and i thought she was stupid. I seemed to be the only one who picked up on that. All the other kids thought she was in some kind normal. (It turned out that when she had her own kids, she did everything wrong she could do wrong and even her former collegians said "oh my god" when they were at her house) We didn't like each other. So i mocked her with my behavior, aggravating her even further. I used to take hours to eat my meals (Normally i ate this fast that i was finished once my sisters were seated and then i zoomed off again) I picked my peas from the pea stew with the fork separately to take extra long. And i always looked at her while doing that so that she gets that i was mocking her. LOL.
But she really was stupid. My mom said to her: Don't you get it? He is mocking you totally. While she didn't get it.

 And the funny thing is she called a professor to "subtly look at me" so that the professor saw i wasn't normal. When the thing occured with the intern and the book, she told her "see? he is doing this all the time, that kid isn't normal, he doesn't participate at those things like the others". But the professor said: "I don't know what you have. This kid is totally normal. I would think it stupid too if i had to wait until the intern flipped over the pages and i wasn't even allowed to look at the book myself." Muhahahaha. PWNAGE. 

Lol when i heard all of this i was laughing sooooo hard.

I once ate around 30 dounuts in one turn at the age of 5, shocking everyone. I used to shock people with my behavior. I still get a kick out of shocking people with my behavior, and doing super strange things. I even let myself being photographed as proof. However i have toned down immensely. Man i miss those days when i was free and unbound.

Somehow i always knew i was very different from my peers. However that didn't stop me being different. I was cool with that.

Lol. What's my mbti type? Come on, tell me. I am a grown man i can cope with it.

Hmm..for what i remember i was always very playful, enthusiastic and energetic, mature, a good observator and a good communicator. ...I'm 22 now and, to be honest, i think i haven't changed ...It's just that growing up and becoming part of societies limits has made me lose a lot of my enthusiasm and energy!

When I was in 3rd grade, they gave us a reading test....I had a college level comprehension. After going to college, that doesn't seem like as much of an achievement anymore.... >.>

The good: Hopeful, caring, curious about everything, devoted (until adolescence), ambitious

The bad: Confused, outcast, lonely, at times I was quite bratty, nonconformist, rebellious

I just didn't fit in, I was one of "them". I was alien to the other kids and they were alien to me. The majority of kids just seemed to be of one mind, they always just seemed to understand what weirdness was going on, why the wierdness and were fine with it like they were all riding the same wave. I typically had a WTF look on my face like I missed the "become one of us" ceremony at birth.

I didn't care about fitting in by way of conformity. I was confused as to why I was not accepted as I was which extended to family as well.

Childhood was not one of my favorite periods of life.

Alien, spacey, rational, analytical, romantic, headstrong, blunt, exploratory, bored, confused, frustrated, argumentative, disturbed, alone, neurotic, hurt, lost, panicked, enraged, depressed, numb. Tiny insular fundie bubble, church and it's mindfuck school, personally in 10 person max classrooms combining two grade levels. Probably ISFJ, very deluded, militantly ignorant, deceitful, tantruming mother. Contradictory, arbitrary rules. Recursive, parallel, compounding catch22s. Not allowed to leave the house. No playmates or girls after moving at 5. Righteous alienation and intrusive oppression from the vapid entitled. Waiting, always waiting, other than being coerced into pointless shit while watching my future decay in growing detail while the only ones around to care apathetically to enthusiastically facilitated both. Still waiting, just for much less with much more congealed rage. Other than escapism, mostly just in my head, which tended toward nightmarish, pretty much it sucked. I actually missed the damn nightmares and the vividness of the panic now.

All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.

The world that denies thee, thou inhabit. The peace that ignores thee, thou corrupt. Chaos, I remain, as ever, thy faithful, degenerate son.

It's ok to talk to someone if you need to, Autoptic. We're all damaged one way or another.....but no one can completely fix themselves. It takes a person to hurt...and it takes a person to heal. And there's nothing wrong with seeing a professional.

Oh, I've gone pro...just broke...or worse.

If you mean shrinks, they're worthless, status quo enforcing stepford smilers happy to help you fit as a socially valid sheeple according to their self-righteous holy books and PC dogma. The rest just told me I was brilliant and to date. They didn't quite get the degree of Mother's of interference or my lack of resources. The last, that didn't just tell me I'm negative without any regard to the accuracy of my "negativity" or repeatedly inquire about by my assumed steroid intake, just admitted that my current pursuit of university and possibly eventual career was perfectly rational and that he had nothing else to add beyond my accurate self-assessment.

Psychology/ psychiatry is a business, no different than any other pursuit involving money as displayed by the success of corporations like Bayer and Pfizer. We are all being sold out for beach property, Armani and Country Club memberships.

I can appreciate that you've been severely damaged....and it may seem like it's easy to tell you to move on and make connections. No, moving on isn't easy. Trusting someone when you've been betrayed isn't easy. What it comes down to is are you happy? If you're not happy....then why? Why does your mother still have that power over you? What's stopping you from moving on? You're a grown man, and I'm sure if it came down to physical strength you could easily overpower her if she tried to force you to do anything. You have no obligations to her....if you chose never to speak to her again, that's your decision. You choose who has an influence on you. It may not have been the case growing up, but now you have that control. No one can take it away from you.

And Autoptic.....I may be wrong, but it seems as though you've created an identity out of your brokenness, turned it around, and wield it like a weapon to keep people at bay........so that anyone who couldn't accept you did so because they were too shallow to see past the broken outside. I've seen other people do the same thing....and it put them in a position of superiority so that no one could ever make them feel inadequate. They just didn't trust anyone to not have an ulterior motive....so they'd attack first. It serves its purpose, keeping bad people out, but it never lets any good ones in either.

What's the worst thing that can happen if you let someone in? You've survived being hurt.

Mother? Uhm, I'm ~$30k and growing into debt, have no car (never did), am stuck on campus during the academic year, and back with her otherwise. Before that, I was just broke, had no job skills, and have clinical depression and social anxiety. Mother's is in a small decaying mill town. There was no public transportation back when and only a minor joke now. Homeless was what was stopping me. Still is. My size means shit, other than annoying cops and threatening short people. Are you suggesting taking up viking? In this age, that'd take at least a small army and military grade hardware.

Let it? I never did friends even as a toddler. I can discuss "intimate" information with a random person on the street then walk away and not care. This was always so. Connection doesn't work like that for me. I don't appear to do platonic at all. Erotic has yet to come up but unsurprisingly has very complicate set of conditions which have to be for even an attempt. I don't have to run away. There's no one HERE, superficially similar coordinates but at least 1 dimension off.

HAD clinical depression and social anxiety*

And before you start anything about a job now. I still don't have the degree yet or any job skills since the CS BS curriculum is about what it sounds like, mostly BS, and has very little applicability beyond just passing the degree requirement for a job interview for any entry level IT job, outside of intentionally being prep for a graduate degree, which almost no one actually does. Public transportation in the "university city" area sucks too, partly since we're literally half the distance from the next town over than from uptown, and my GPA's plummeting nicely all on its own. It's doesn't need help. Scheduling broken too. We only have one or two sections for any upper level class. Bloody teacher admitted getting a degree in the next state because it was easier than walking across the street to this place. My max credit hours for financial aid's about up anyway, so I finish in a semester, or I'm running on scant loan surplus, if I won't be anyway next semester just for taking the full credit hours I'll need to graduate. Flipping burgers would just blow it all to hell immediately and probably get someone else hurt, if not from the simple joys of that sweet lifestyle itself, then when I severely dissonate to all that lovely debt with no chance for the degree thus no career to pay it off while going back to Mother's semi-permanently again, when it did fail.
