Finding a needle in a haystack isn’t that hard if you’ve got a lighter.
hahaha this so true 🤣
if everyone you knew from all your circles was in the same room at the same time, your head would explode trying to manage all of your different personas
“Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.”

Me: just call me Mitochondria because I'm the POWERHOUSE OF THIS CELL
Me: *gets jumped*
SO-blind pros and cons:
pros
- quality interactions are the norm
- healthier approach to relationships, being alone is always better than being with people who aren’t good for us
- generally loyal, genuine, and altruistic in our relationships
- less bullshit, people usually know where they stand with us
- less affected by others’ opinions, confidence is internally generated
- less superficial/materialistic, it’s about the way things are rather than how they look
- more critical of societal norms and unwilling to play along with stupid or toxic practices
- prioritize health, safety, and meaningful relationships above reputation
- actually mind our own damn business
cons
- sometimes too rigorous about our “screening” for friends/cutting people off because they don’t meet the bar we’ve set
- constantly feeling like a misfit/outcast
- actually might be an outcast. at least we seem to constantly leave behind groups and situations because we inevitably reach the disillusionment stage
- hard to impress
- can be cold, hurtful, bad at validating people and insensitive of others’ feelings unless they’re somehow important to us (read: meet our nearly impossible standards)
- overly rebellious or non-compliant, needlessly critical of society and rules
- may talk to people but have no intention of bonding, which confuses people when they realize the SO-blind in question never considered them a friend
- do not understand why people care if we wear pajamas in public (I think this is a con because I actually don’t get why it matters?)
- *forcibly self-isolates* *doesn’t talk to people* *is constantly rude and blunt* “why am I alone”
All other types here
weird noises: happen in the wee hours
me, unaffected: the only supernatural and ominous force in this place is me and i was here first, so whatever and whoever you are you need to Go
You find so many flaws in even your closest friends that people are often surprised that you actually like them. When, indeed, the fact that you’re so critical of everything and everybody (including yourself) doesn’t affect your overall impression of a person
Ones are often unaware of their tendency to be critical and its affect on their relationships. They are on a mission to set the world straight. Their attempt to do so often comes across as criticism and nagging. Ones believe that they know how things should be and feel that they have an obligation to fix the flaws in their environment. They feel that they are only trying to be helpful and are often surprised when others interpret their comments as a criticism.
Twos are often unaware of their tendency to be demanding and its affect on their relationships. Twos may act like a spoiled and pampered prince or princess and demand that they are appreciated. They exert pressure on others to meet their needs, but feel they deserve this special treatment because they do so much, and care so much, for others. They express their entitlement as, “That’s what I would do for you.”
Threes are often unaware of their tendency to be inauthentic and its affect on their relationships. Because of their desire to put a positive spin on everything they do, Threes fall into the habit of deceiving themselves, and sometimes others. Because they are pragmatists, they look for the best solution and the most effective action even if it involves shading the truth. They do not consider their deceit as lying, but rather as reframing or “spinning.”
Fours are often unaware of their tendency to be self absorbed and its affect on their relationships. They find their own lives and internal states far more interesting than anybody else’s. Because they feel they have been cheated by life, but no one else has, they feel that the focus should be on them and their problems.
Fives are often unaware of their tendency to be intellectually arrogant and the effect it has on their relationships. They spend much of their time thinking about and analyzing life, while other people spend more time actually living life. Consequently, Fives think that other people are less thoughtful and insightful and in the extreme, stupid and dull
Sixes are often unaware of their tendency to complain and its affect on their relationships. Because Sixes do not trust their own thought process they are constantly trying to gauge other people’s reactions (to test the waters) to a given stimulus to see if there is a threat that needs attention. They complain to see if people agree or disagree with them as a way of finding where people stand.
Sevens are often unaware of their tendency to be easily distracted and its impact on their relationships. Sevens continually attempt to avoid unpleasant thoughts, feelings, and experiences. By not focusing on any one thing for too long, Sevens avoid the possibility of something becoming unpleasant. Because they move from topic to topic so quickly, others may feel ignored or left in the dust.
Eights are ofen unaware of their tendency to be abusive and its affect on their relationships. They don’t see that others view their “straight talk and tough love” as abuse. Although they claim that they are trying to help by being honest and fair, they are often lashing out at the weakness and incompetence they see in others and fear seeing in themselves.
Nines are often unaware of their tendency to get their way passively rather than actively and the impact this has on their relationships. For instance, they may get out of performing an unpleasant task by dragging their feet, being forgetful, making promises that they do not keep, and so forth. Others are often frustrated by their seeming stubbornness.
