- Re Article: "Sugar, Stone or ...?"
This article was written by someone, it seems, who has not delved too deeply into INFP-ness or people who are empathic [ie, the "Sponge" that is referenced.]
Being empathic [ie, absorbent] is not a reason - or *the* reason one is "a victim." Stone people, also, may be impervious to their surroundings but I have seen more victims of the "Stone typology" than "Sponge's."
I'm glad this person is blogging but this is just a fine example of everything on the internet cannot be taken as truth or a good assessment.
Many HSP's [Highly Sensitive People by way of Highly Sensory Perceptions] cannot help but absorb. They *sponge* electricity, moods, feelings, etc but how this makes them a "victim" in society is not explained in this article. "Victim mentality" is an attitude, not a condition and I think this is just one way this article falls extremely short.

- "DO talk to me about yourself. Whereas it completely drains me to make small talk, big talk is energizing and fun. It doesn't have to be philosophical or important, just interesting and personal. I could write a whole guide on this one tip. Here's a short summary: don't talk to me about the weather, friends in common, the news, our professors, or our homework assignments. Do tell me stories about yourself, tell me what you did today, tell me what annoys you, tell me what you've been thinking about. Introverts are great listeners if what we're listening to has substance. If I'm talking to you, I want to know you and I want you to know me.
DON'T call me "serious." For some reason, it's taboo to say anything thoughtful in a group setting. I can't tell you how many times someone has responded to me with something like "Wow Danny, you've really thought that through," and then chuckled, as if I were some sort of novelty. Of course I've thought it through, or I wouldn't have said it. No kidding. Why is it weird to actually have something of substance to say? I was actually enjoying a conversation I was having with 4th's relatives at his family reunion and his Mom says to me, "Wow. We've moved into philosophy. That's too deep!" Or something like that. I was like [to myself] "After all this time being spent with you and I get to finally get some words in and with other people and getting to know their thoughts and this is the real me and now it's *too deep.*" ;)
DO embrace silence. If there's nothing worth talking about, everyone's time is better spent thinking. Most silences aren't awkward, unless you're just an awkward person.
DON'T think that I like being alone. I need to be alone after being in a group for a while, to recharge. But I love being around people most of the time, even if we're not engaging in anything. There's a great line from Waiting for Godot: "Don't talk to me. Don't speak to me. Stay with me."
Most of these tips sound just like me. But still. Sometimes I am drawn to some people so I do like to talk to strangers sometimes and even in line but still - there has to be a reason.
It's true that talking *is* an activity for me. Not something to do to fill up silence and not something to do when I am bored or trying to be polite. Polite, to me, is to sit there or stand there unless or until I have something to say. And if you're offended when I say "Oh I'm not interested in that." as an invitation to move to another topic, then our friendship or conversation will end or you'll spend a lot of time resenting me cause I say that a lot. I have a certain allocation of talking and communication time per day and I can't afford to waste it.

- Shy is not a pathology.
Shy can be a natural born characteristic or it can be as a result of ostracization due to less appealing traits such as being a "strange bird" or sociopathic.
Shyness is not sociopathic and I disagree with this article. Va Tech killer may have been "shy" but I think all signs point toward being a sociopath. I think shy people are already ostracized enough without comparing them to "the verge of sociopathy."
