What do you see me as? > > Well, assuming all 3s are deceitful and con-artists does not point to experiences with high functioning 3s. High functioning 3s, according to this site and its links, are generous, hard-working, authentic people. Well, I'm going to college, I have friends, and I have a leadership position in the community. I'll cope with my perception of reality, since it has brought me no success in life. According to the social norms which I am following, hidden premises (ie: reading between the lines) is simply a bad way to argue. What if the person you are arguing with misinterprets what you are implying? It, overall, is better to state what you are arguing, then to have everyone guess what you mean. If I guess what you mean, filling in premises for what I think you mean, it would become my argument, not yours. I do not know you well enough to fill in the blanks anyway, so I am arguing with you choose to present me. Sorry to let you down, but you're not pissing me off. You're just revealing your inability to reason according to the accepted norms, and the depravity of your psychological state. 3s try to conform to these norms, that's all. So while you think I am angry, I am really talking behind your back and laughing at you. You do a good job of making me feel superior. (Damn 3 characteristic.) > You can say that, I find that you don't got the abbillities to see things You really haven't been trying at all. When I say, clear up the confusion, you cuss me out. It's probably because you can barely read or write. Perhaps another dysfunctional, irrational (your term) 9 would understand. Yes, and get some counseling to motivate you to change, would ya? (You said you needed the motivation in an earlier post.) Anyway, I am moving on to better things and healthier people.
