Yeah - I'm really enjoying my 14yo. He is pleasant, funny, smart and growing up too fast. I hate that some little girl will soon be taking up his time and attention.
Lillie,
I tried to email you on Friday. I guess it didn't go. I will try again.
sounds more like a "HSP", to me. "HSP"="highly sensitive person". I don't know if this is a generally recognized "syndrome" or anything, but some learn-ed expert wrote a book on it a few years ago. DW read the book...she definately fits the criteria. I haven't read it myself, but I guess its about this "personality type", and how to deal with it, etc, etc...might be an interesting read.
Whew - H certainly isn't an INF. He is an ENTJ, I believe (or maybe ESTJ - he was close on that one). I am an ENFJ. However, I think the sensitivity thing is another aspect of his personality and may have to do with his upbringing. It is the reason that he eats absolutely no vegetables - the flavors just don't suit his palate - even if htey are cooked into something and are beyond recognition. Whatever the case it is a real issue sometimes.
