Maybe there will be a movie that will draw you in and speak to you enough to make you cry. That’s the only thing I can think of that could make you emotional enough. Not death or love or anything like that, but art.

I find people who discover and accept themselves for who they are live a more fulfilling life, probably because they know what they want.

One day I hope to feel an intense emotion that will draw tears to my eyes, but at the rate I’m going, you can call me Robocop.

My reactions are rather transparent to some actually. Some of those I hate can tell because I’m completely mute around them but animated and excited around people I like. Pat tells me I’m hard to read though, just because I don’t fit into the cookie-cutter characters of any “normal” people.

I don’t think girls get flattered by my laughter either. They just think I’m an idiot.

@Pearl — Laughing when you’re getting ticked off or threatened is great. I wish I had such an ability. It’s totally understandable how something like that gets misinterpreted though.

You’re completely opposite of me when it comes to being free-tongued around people I’m fond of. It’s because these people are usually fond of me as well, and would accept me no matter what came out of my mouth. How powerful it must be to not care what others think and be able to speak your mind; I’m constantly biting my tongue to be diplomatic, because of mutual friends.

I laugh when I’m embarrassed or getting really ticked off, threatened and/or overtired, close to an absolute no to soften myself and the other, deescalate. It overshoots sometimes and gives opposite signals. I also laugh, whaddya know, when I’m lighthearted.

I tend to clam up around people I am fondest of and am free-tongued around people who I’ve built less attachment to because no investment to lose I figure. I tend to never want anyone to be dead to me. I overintellectualize, most passive, most impersonal, most latinate and quoting, when something is closest to my heart, probably to get away to a comfortable distance.

You’re lucky that you can veil certain of them — I’ve no poker face at all. When I’m peeved with someone, only a complete moron would not guess…

I had a guy who giggled with nervousness over me before…. it was really flattering, coming from him, and funny and endearing. Put it to excellent use!
