The problem is not saying that I love someone or something. It only really has meaning when you're feeling it at the time though. When I'm excited about seeing someone or someone does something totally awesome for me then there's value in the words. If I'm saying it because someone needs to hear it then the words lose all value to me. They feel insincere and forced, & when something's forced it takes away a bit of my freedom and autonomy which steals a bit of my worth as a person. Also the words are suppose to be valuable, like gold, when they're used 20 times a day it diminishes the value to that of tin. Just bugs the hell out of me.

I completely agree with this. I've been with people who want to say it over and over throughout the day and it is extremely obnoxious! The whole phrase loses its meaning and leaves me wondering how they actually feel about me. The worst is when someone asks for constant validation - they say they love you and *need* to hear it back, every. freaking. time. I have actually just flat-out said, "Stop saying that already!!" to an SO...

When I was in gradeschool they gave us hearing exams, and I cheated. I still have no idea why. I figured out that every time the machine made a high-pitched beeping noise, a little light lit up as well. I didn't hear the last two beeps but I saw the light blink...

i hate this.. and I agree with what you just said. I think it's in our nature to take the literal meaning of words and really hold them to that. Some people talk about love and actually don't know what it means. I dated a girl who needed that validation all the time and it eventually ended, poorly I might add, because we could not get on the same level. I said I love you cause I really did, not just to say it. Her incessant need to hear it kept me from fully appreciating it when she said it. My philosophy is, I say what I mean and I mean what I say, if you can't get it... look at a dictionary cause the definition is right there. No hidden meanings or emotional motives. I guess I was just too honest in the end.

I also confess that telling someone I love them every single freakin' time I see or talk to them also feels forced and insincere, & makes me feel a little dead inside.

I can totally relate! Most of the guys I've been in relationships with would get so irritated with me... If I wasn't sure, I wouldn’t say it.

I finally met the right guy in college last year. I never thought I would find a guy as sincere as myself, with the same sarcastic humor and the same intelligence. After dating 5 months, I was finally ready to tell him I loved him. My awesome friend Grant makes balloon animals, and I came up with the crazy idea to spell the words “I love you” out of balloons, and tape them to the wall in his dorm room. The following day he told me he loved me

After I took the MBTI test for class I made him take it. And not surprisingly, he is also an ENTP

I hate how the majority of my friends cant tell when I'm sincere or not. It really annoys me that nobody can tell that when I disagree with them it's not always cause I wanna argue. It's simply cause I dont agree with them. (it's like they cant tell when I'm playing devils advocate or not lol)

Absolutely relate to this!

And when they don't appreciate that I make an effort to be honest with them cause I respect them. People just want me to lie to them provided they don't catch me. Frustrating. Like pissing on my respect for you and proving me wrong that you are a "decent" person. Thank god for the MBTI.

I seem to judge people without even realizing it. Maybe I am Judger :)

I confess that never have I ever let a single person know all of my deep dark secrets and fears, but I desperately want to.

I confess that most of the time I am bored out of my skull, and have created difficulties like sleep deprivation to keep myself occupied in the past.

I confess that I do believe I'm brilliant and want a way to prove it besides letting someone else experience it.

I confess that I think my projects and interests are more important than most everyone else's and that, in a perfect world, I would have a housekeeper, a near unlimited budget, and a staff to help me get things done, especially things that bring to light new knowledge or solve problems.

I confess that I sabotage myself into bad situations because I am afraid of success and whether it might be boring. (But I'm working on this one).

I confess that I want to be able to go out and be a professional in many different fields without having to slog through all the schoolwork - it feels like most of it is unnecessary bullshit and universities are both trying to teach "common sense", and to keep us occupied for 4 years regardless of actual content just to make us "mature". See also college = babysitting for 18-25 year olds.

I confess that I feel lazy when I love to think up a cool project or invention, then never care to actually go do it or finish it if I start to plan it.

I confess that, until recently, I secretly hoped the world would end and I would be able to become some kind of "wizard" in the aftermath.

I confess that I often daydream and zone out momentarily when someone is telling me something that I don't think I really need to know. Then I ask them to repeat it because I have to waste less time listening to the second shorter version of drivel that I don't need to know.

I confess that I am constantly thinking of ways to lie, cheat, steal, and deceive because I like the analysis and wonder if it would work - not because I have any motivation to do most of that (except steal because I'm a broke college student).

I confess that I am poorly self-disciplined about my impulsivity and that it leads me to ignore how someone feels, or what is really important, just to play devil's advocate.

Others that apply that have been mentioned: Wanting to punch someone in the face, messing things up to see what happens in the chaos, being a brain snob despite acting nice and interested, interacting with people to satisfy my social contact needs (not because I actually care), wanting to "help" someone with a car/bike/school/computer problem because the problem interests me (not the person), A person's behaviour interests me more (momentarily) than they do, thought about serial killing just for the intrigue (don't watch HBO's Dexter).

I totally relate to that. I want to jump into a career- with a limited amount of training I feel I could be successful.

I also confess that in a setting where I have nothing to do...ie class...I spend a fair amount of time planning out a reaction if there was to be a shooter.

Man, I do both of these. xD

I confess that I almost never click on youtube links that my friends send because I know they're going to be boring as hell.

I also tend to tell people everything about me without ever letting them know who I am. Most of my friends know my interests, ideas and history, but they have no idea how I think and feel. I imagine if they did know they'd probably run off.

Haha oh man. I do that all the time standing in line. Then I wonder what's wrong with me for thinking about doomsday scenarios all the time >.<

I have been so frustrated lately, and had so much on my plate that I got totally overwhelmed this morning.
And then I took a shower and it was like the emotion just vanished.

It feels so weird to sense what other people feel so easily, but have to work for hours and often weeks to know how I feel.
