Questions?!
26.02.2016 by JoP09

Hi everyone! So I took the test, scored ridiculously high, then when I was on this forum reading other people's stories, it really hit me how hard I could relate. I still have some questions though. I have a hard time with the whole emotions thing, but for some strange reason, I can read other people EXTREMELY well. Literally one time my friends and I were sitting at lunch, and I could just sense something was wrong, so I asked if she was okay. Something was going on, and she actually thought my other friend had told me. Things like that happen all the time. I even use to be the therapist for all my friends. Also, there was a post on here about missing people, and a lot of people said they never really "miss" someone. I can totally relate, but for some reason there are moments where I suddenly miss my grandma a lot (she lives in another country and raised me when I was younger). So, thoughts? Can anyone relate?

That's exactly me, too

I can read others, but cannot read my own emotions. All I know is..... I feel "Something" but cannot tell you what it is.....

I don't "miss" people. I miss my cat. To me, when I had romantic relationships, I always wanted to be with the guy, but it wasn't out of "missing" him, it was out of..... "I don't trust the guy out of my site so I have to be there so he doesn't do stuff I don't like." Took me years to figure this out.....

I just avoid romantic relationships now. I'm much happier.

Only 1 person

In my life there is always one person who I miss and want see always but except this person I do not feel anything for anyone. And this person is never someone of my family but my friends.
