For any of you who have taken the Myers-Briggs personality test, you will know what it means when I say I am an INTJ. for those of you who have not taken it, I would encourage you to do so. You will be surprised how many others there are out there like you. You can take the test at www.humanmetrics.com.
anyways, being an INTJ, I am in about 2% of the personality type population. this of course, makes me "special", but being special also makes my personality much different than a large part of the population.
one of my main characterics is that I am an introvert, meaning that I get energy from inside my mind. Creative, analytical, introspective - I live in my own little world inside my head. So one of the things that is SO tiresome to me is getting sucked into other peroson's drama. I probably get glassy-eyed and look uncomfortable when people are going on and on about this horrible thing that happened to them today (that is most likely not horrible at all,) or what someone said, (blah, blah, blah.) turns out that the extroverts get their energy from outside stimulus. their minds need to be filled up with outside events, like what everyone is doing, latest news, gossip, etc. I am sure there are people out there that LOVE to hear all the drama they can get. all the "Oh my!" and "Oh, dear!" you can handle.
but be careful, my friends, because drama becomes a black hole you get sucked into. once you are involved, you take on a part of the drama. Like a little planet that is floating closer to a black hole, it starts to pull on you and starts sucking you in. early on, you can try to get away and maybe escape the pull. if you don't, you fall aimlessly into the drama and you will not escape. now you are involved, giving opinions, showing empathy, showing concern. I say "showing" honestly because you may not give a damn, but you are just faking it. that is dangerous. pretty soon, you become part of the drama- now your name enters the drama story. "so-and-so said they agree with me" or "so-and-so said that was wrong." beware that if you are going to succumb to the drama, you have accountability and you may be pulled into the black hole drama of doom.
personally, I avoid unnecessary drama like someone just farted near me. I leave as soon as possible. As an extra, I give off an energy vibe that just makes the person feel like maybe I am not the best person to talk to. I may say something reassuring and then I kindly exit. This is just normal INTJ behavior - that is what I will blame it on. yeah.
