20 Signs Of The Excruciatingly Intense Person

Intense people.ย  They are the radicals of society, the misanthropes of the world, and the killjoys of polite and amicable conversations.

If youโ€™re frequently impassioned, incensed, fervent, frenzied, vehement and agonizingly ardent โ€ฆ youโ€™re probably an intense person.

20 Signs Of The Excruciatingly Intense Person

We cry on the shoulderโ€™s of strangers, share our deepest woes with unwitting coworkers and spend hours writing sonnets to unsuspecting Facebook friends โ€ฆ who later end up blocking us.

The truth is, people just donโ€™t understand us intense people.ย  And hereโ€™s why โ€ฆ

1.ย  We donโ€™t take a long time to open up.ย  Think 2 minutes at the most.

2.ย  We cogitate on thoughts for hours.ย  And hours.ย  And hours.

3.ย  Sometimes we plan to do or say something weeks in advance.ย  Sometimes months.ย  Obsessively.

4.ย  We care about everything and everyone, constantly.ย  To the point of mental relapse.

5.ย  We look at people without blinking (often mistaken for psychopathy).

6.ย  We speak about everything with conviction.ย  Going to the shops isnโ€™t just โ€œI need to go to the shops.โ€ย  Itโ€™s, โ€œI need to go to the SHOPS!!???โ€

7.ย  We want to help everyone and everything.ย  For instance, if we saw a snail crawling across a footpath, we would stop to help it cross.ย  If someone stepped on it we would cringe, shriek, or melancholically stare at its remains for 10 minutes.

8.ย  We use intense language.ย  We wouldnโ€™t just say โ€œyouโ€™re being mean.โ€ย  We would say โ€œwhy are you hurting my feelings, you petty barbarian, you uncivilized rogue, you insufferable reprobate!?!โ€œ

9.ย  We prefer private messaging.ย  Usually we end up writing 500+ word messages (to the horror of the recipient).

10.ย  We pay undivided attention to each person we talk to.ย  No half-assing, ever.

11.ย  We bring up uncomfortable and potentially embarrassing topics into normal conversations.ย  Think divorce, sex lives, religion, politics, mental illness, hemorrhoids

12.ย  Weโ€™re moody and changeable.ย  One day weโ€™ll open our souls up to you.ย  The next day weโ€™ll completely and utterly ignore the hell out of you.

13.ย  Weโ€™re earnest and sincere in everything we say, almost to the point of mental blood clots.

14.ย  We brood a lot.ย  Itโ€™s unintentionally intimidating to onlookers.

15.ย  Weโ€™re known to be โ€œclingyโ€ in relationships.ย  We like to call it extremely emotionally expressive (EEE).

16.ย  We want to spend all day, every day, with our best friend.ย  โ€œSpaceโ€ isnโ€™t even a concept to us.

17.ย  We donโ€™t like having big social networks โ€“ they dilute our intensity too much.

18.ย  Weโ€™re die-hard romantic idealists.ย  Lord Byron and Catherine from Wuthering Heights are our paradigms of romantic partner perfection.

19.ย  We easily become emotionally bonded to characters in books, TV shows and movies.ย  When Jack died in Titanic, and when Dobby died in Harry Potter โ€ฆ we cried our eyes out.ย  For days.

20.ย  We crave meaningful conversations.ย  There is no such thing as โ€œsmall talkโ€ or โ€œfrivolous banterโ€ to us.

If you can relate to more than half of the 20 signs above, youโ€™re probably an excruciatingly intense person.ย

Healing In Relationships: How To Have A Secure Attachment

What does healing in relationships mean? Can intimate connections truly help us grow? Let’s find out more about transforming relationships by Darlene Lancer.

Even before we enter the world, our brains and hormones are wired for connection. Our first relationship begins in our motherโ€™s womb, where we recognize her voice and respond to her moods through hormones and stress responses.

Later, her smell and touch become familiar. Affection and responsive communication are necessary for developing our brains and bodies.

Early interactions with our parents shape our self-image and template for love and relationships. Our patterns of relating and reacting, attachment style, are often repeated in adult relationshipsโ€”romantic and otherwise.
