Also, would you say that being overly literal is mostly a personality trait or a sign of lower intelligence?

Just people in general, not a certain person.

I feel like i cant trust people anymore... with the exception of 4 or 5 people.

Is it normal to not like being around people (except a select few) ?

I've thought about it enough to know that I could never do it. I'm not depressed but cannot stop thinking about it. I know everyone has thought about it to some extent but how often is normal?

I remember back when my bf last broke up with me and i went to a counseler to try to get help for myself. I was in a deep depression; i got better but i remember something she told me when i told her i had the problem of men i go for...or the fact why i want this one over the other.
She told me.... you have intelligence and potential to be great in life and people would think you settle for man whose just as great in everyone's eyes as you are. But with you...you seem i think you rather end up or will end up with someone who people wouldn;t think greatly love... instead of the handsome rich successful man everyone loves.. and thats is different.. you go for the poor man who everyone could hate.. who has solittle and isn;t that great you someone like you could find him perfect.
....
is this crazy?

We work closely with a driven perfectionist who, when upset, becomes hard to communicate with. He acts hostile, defensive and eventually becomes unreasonable. He says that people are overlooking him or taking advantage of him or slighting him in some way. If there truly is a misunderstanding and we make amends, he holds a grudge anyway. We have gently tried to point out that things aren't how he thinks they are, but it gets him madder. He insists he's right and refuses to see another point of view. We think it could be a profitable partnership, considering his considerable skills, but he doesn't see how his attitude makes us want to throw in the towel. It feels like we're beating our heads against a brick wall. When he's not mad/defensive/etc, he's actually a cheerful guy with a good sense of humor. Any advice?

We have tried to talk to him, but he just doesn't hear it.

In my experience, men who I would regard to be as superior intellectually have always treated women with the respect they deserve, care for them and are good to them because that is what they believe. I also notice, however, that a part of them dislikes women. What do you have to say about this? If you're going to call me a nazi, like some of you no doubt will, please do so constructively and in an appropriate manner.

My partner is a hard-working guy and a perfectionist. When he is upset he becomes defensive and unreasonable. Often he gets mad because he thinks that people are overlooking him or taking advantage of him or slighting him in some way, when they're not. If there really is a misunderstanding and we try to make things right, he holds grudges and won't give us a break. When we have gently tried to point out that things aren't how he thinks they are, he argues that he's right and refuses to see another point of view. We'd like to work well together, because he's so great at his job, but he doesn't see how hard it is to deal with him, and after awhile we feel like giving up, but we have to work with him, no way around it. Any advice?

help! i love my boyfriend to death but while he's asleep he can be the noisiest person ever. we live together so we sleep together ever night. many nights i wake up because he snores so loudly. sometimes he's talking or mumbling, but what really urkes me is when he laughs in his sleep. some nights i just sit up and stare at him for awhile and wonder to myself "how can someone be so loud and what the hell is he laughing at!" you may think it's kinda funny but considering the loss of sleep i suffer from it's not. we argue about it all the time, he dozes off before i can fall asleep and after what seems like 10 seconds he's over there cutting logs! i know he can't really help it but does anyone know of anyway at all we can fix this or compromise somehow?

I was IMing some people last night, and one of them said that I should be a counselor. I want a career in a school, just not as a counselor, more of a math teacher.

Well, I was helping them get through some stuff, all advice and that good stuff, and I thought.

Thought about being a counselor. So could I? What degrees do I need?

Ok, suppose you went to a huge party or a social event or a pub/bar. Now, suppose if a guy who came to this event suddenly became the star attraction of it & he started attracting all the women and getting flirts, flatters and basically all the attention from them. Apparently he was so hot, attractive, humorous blah blah blah...Now, in this situation, would YOU start feeling JEALOUS of this guy?

Be honest about it. Have you ever felt jealous of a guy with whom you were partying, but he managed to gain all attraction from the females? It used to happen to me a lot until the last year or two, by the way.

My ex-boyfriend told me that he had this sex dream about me. Very graphic very detailed. We never slept together when we dated. We had an on and off relationship for 4 years. He did tell me that we should have been each other's firsts. We are both 21 right now. We are both in other relationships right now. So whats up.

My partner can't figure out why no one wants to work with him and why people "forget" to invite him to meetings or include him socially. When there are issues, he is really intense and people think he's "argumentative", "unreasonable" and "inflexible", even though he says he doesn't feel that way. I and others have tried to gently hint that he comes on too strong, but he won't accept it and blames other people for any problems that come up. It's like he won't cut people any slack, but he's totally blind to it. Otherwise, he's an honest guy and a superb worker. We'd like to work well together, but he just doesn't see how he comes across. We've tried to level with him, but it's like he holds grudges and won't give us a break. And we have to work with him, no way around it. Any advice?
