Thanks for the response, Tiggy.

I am kind of wary of giving but I usually do it anyway.
One of my faults, I think, is that I am so interested in my own ideas. I find that other people are valuable for the strengthening of my ideas. Whatever they say about them or against them goes into my development of them, making them stronger. Is that what you mean by "sounding board"?

i'm not sure about the last one. I think I used to put aside feelings and try to be completely logical. I didn't consider my feelings real. In a way, I was trying to escape my feelings. But now I have realized that that only drowns me in fantasy and makes life less worth living. It was like I wasn't alive. I had all kinds of bodily pains and was always bored and got angry easily. I didn't see the point of doing anything.
But over the past few years I've dived into my feelings, trying to understand them, and they've opened up a new world to me.

In a way, I'm like the ones who need to figure the world out (the thinker?), except for me it isn't about the world, it's about me in the world. Since I only know the world through myself I need to understand myself to see the world clearly.

But I might also be the romantic. I remember that it struck me as a reflection of my situation when I read it, but I don't remember what it said except for the part about "living in fantasy" when they are in the bad cycle.
I hope this isn't too long.
