Yeah, I know what you mean. Despite the fact that I prefer books over movies (and it is definitely a huge preference), I have, ironically, seen a lot of movies. Although, I feel like most of the movies I have seen have been… random, I guess. They're usually movies that my dad convinces me to watch with him. Sometimes I regret it, sometimes I don't.
I think my brother scares people. He's only a freshman in high school and he's a big dude so people tend to be intimidated. (I may have died laughing when you said "I want troll arms so I can reach across the room." For some reason that was hilarious to me.)
Yeah, I'm taking college classes and stuff, and it's not unusual for people to guess me to be like 14-16 (or YOUNGER) and I'm like "No, sir, that is incorrect." Oh well. It's just funny at this point.
ENTP-T? Awesome!!! My brother is an ENTP-A! I really haven't talked to many people of that type, but all of the ones I've spoken with have seemed extremely interesting.
I'm an INFJ-A (although, to be honest, the Assertive vs Turbulent is debatable. People say I'm logical and stuff, but I think I use F more obviously than T. So I'm positive that INFJ is my type).

I haven’t. But Netflix shows. Man… I have seen a lot of that stuff. Same. I have a highly critical mind, especially about any story, that being of course, something of a specialty.
I wish I could tbh. I look pretty easy to beat up. It’s sad. (You are most welcome. Humor is a wonderful thing.) I have this one friend who used to constantly be thought of as really young because of how cute she was. (Still is. Like a human kitten.)
Yeah, I wonder what the difference between Turbulent and Assertive… And I do suppose that I am interesting. Very Lol. My friends say I’m a total F, but I did score T. (Though it was a 49-51 kind of deal.)

@Moriarty

I have Netflix, but with college and my hobbies I've found little time to binge any shows. I hate trying to talk during a movie, but for some reason I also hate watching movies or TV shows alone. I think it's because I want to have someone to talk about it with once it's over. I love critiquing movies, books, and stuff like that.
I just look like a little geeky chic I guess, which is exactly what I am (despite the young appearance). I mean I don't know what I actually look like to others because what I look like to others might be different than what I look like to me, if that makes sense. Unless it doesn't– because there's a chance I'm just crazy.
You are very interesting, as am I. 🤣 From what I've read, turbulent people are usually more self-conscious while assertive are confident. T avoids conflict while A does not. According to that description I would think I was a T, but if conflict is necessary I don't avoid it and calmly try to address problems in order to get rid of them, so maybe that's why I scored A? My confidence fluctuates a lot so I wouldn't consider myself strongly assertive by any means. Only when necessary 😅
I don't have a lot of friends, because I'm a recluse except for those few I consider my closest allies, but everyone mutually agrees I'm an INFJ. RIP me for being the rare rejected personality type that far too many people falsely type as.
And a good balance of T and F is actually really good. Not too cold, not too emotional. Logical and relatable at the same time!

I suppose that makes sense. I need some bodies next to me anyways. Feel your friends around, even in the silence. My goodness yes. Criticizing is my jam.
Lol. I look like a standard white boy from the casual observer. Which is good at the airport I suppose.
I am self conscious definitely. I analyze myself all the time. But my fake confidence is so good I can sometimes convince an entire room, including myself.
I like a good fight. But as long as it’s in good fun or we can make up quickly.
The sentence about being reclusive except for closest allies is kind of me. But I can make friends with literally anyone, so I have many friends (at the college especially) that don’t mean much to me, but I can use them so I have people to talk with etc.
Lol. Sometimes. But a lot of the time I go from one extreme to the other. Insensitive or the most sensitive. It has serious downsides.

@Moriarty

I think "Criticizing is my jam" is one of the best sentences I've ever heard. Er… read, I should say. I can relate, depending on what exactly it is I'm criticizing.
I can relate to being self conscious. I'm very, very self conscious x.x
I'm definitely a typical white kid/adult/person-thing (when I say white I mean I'm legit so white that I get a sunburn all the dang time X'D). My confidence comes for real, but it's like in these weird random spurts, and I still don't understand how that works.
I have friends who think they're my friends but they're actually just people I'm forced to interact with on a daily basis so I'm nice to them because I'm a nice person. XD
I'm usually sensitive to other people's emotions (and neglect my own) until I'm either overwhelmed or I go into this like mega-logic mode. That doesn't happen very often but it does happen from time to time and it's odd. I'm odd. Everything is odd.
Even though I'm a very caring person, I hardly let my emotions actually 'guide' me. There's no time for 'following my heart,' because I have to know what the smart, logical choice is. So when it comes to dealing with others, I'm usually a 'heart over head' person, but when it comes to making decisions, I'm a 'head over heart' person, if that makes any sense whatsoever.

Most welcome, Morri.
At least I'm a hyper kid kind of guy so it rarely gets to me.
Ouch.
Yeah I get that. Me with my emotional weirdness.
Yup, I understand that.
I read mine pretty constantly and if I try I can tune into other's pretty easily. But sometimes I can be super insensitive and blunt because I forget to check other's emotions. Yeah it's all weird alright.
That makes sense. I'm sort of the same but I do think our feelings can guide us because they are inturrpreted by our minds. Gtg.
