Definitely no talking. I can't do small talk. It's pointless. Ask me a small talk question and you'll get a 10 min soliloquy on something way deeper. I can't small talk. I can't banter.

Well, I did have a funny conversation about the Ms. Brady.. ect looks. Could have been the wine.
Then I just kept quiet and grunted and pointed. I LOOOVEEE YOUUU afterward. big big tip.

I suck.

Oh I am definitely a melancholy temperament. Got the dr's word on this. For certain. I think you mentioned this a long time ago to me - pre-breakdown. I bet you saw that coming!
I might have mentioned to you as I sometimes bring up the subject of temperaments with members who post certain things. I've been out of some loops and if you mean that you had an actual breakdown I'm sorry for your struggles. I hope things are better now.

:haha:
This reminds me of a proverb: He whose house is burning, thinks all the world's aglow. His neighbor eating dinner may never even know.

I felt like everything I posted was about my breakdown for the past year. I think I even started a thread about it. But yes, actual breakdown. Much better now. Life can be hard. Too hard sometimes. Meds, therapy, the Ogre. I had some very strong arms holding me up.

I've had a few hard stretches myself. Melancholies', like you and me, hard stretches are harder than average, though.

I've discovered that I love so much and so fiercely that I worry myself into oblivion when something happens to someone I love. Self be damned - I'll fast and fret until I come unglued trying to rationalize and fix and control things that I can't fix or control. I'm learning detachment.

According to my belief temperament is inborn and therefore can be changed only to the extent a temperament's weaknesses and bad habits are dealt with. One of the melancholy's weaknesses is to take the weight of the world on his/her shoulders. They worry about things they have no power over. Some in psychological circles might refer to this type of thinking as neurotic. If that's accurate then I say melancholies suffer from that and other neuroses more than people with other temperaments do; that is, neurotic melancholies are the most neurotic.
