Hello ScoFans!
This week, I'm really not in the mood to write much (it's been a long, long week), but because there has been a few posts about quotes and a few about self discovery and what not this week, I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and post something that was on Law and Order: Criminal Intent the other night. (Yes, I still watch that show)
This happened just after they arrested the doer of the crime they were investigating this week..

These individuals often have a grandiose view of themselves and demand excessive admiration (the excessive admiration I receive from all of you is one of the reasons I continue to blog. In fact, it's why I'm writing a post this week even though I don't feel like writing)
They maneuver well in difficult situations, but their self esteem is fragile. Any threat to their self image might agitate or even enrage them. (so it's best you don't threaten my self image)

It's good how you.. cite textbook. Yeah.. "Narcissistic personality disorder". It's a psychopathology that fits our Patricia to a tee. (I don't like to self diagnose, but there's no denying I do have narcissistic tendencies. Again, it's a combination of narcissism and introversion that result in me blogging. I want people to know how awesome I am, I just don't want them to talk to me or come near me)

Or a sign of the zodiac. Patricia's a Scorpio. (Sco is also a Sco-rpio. No self diagnosis necessary)

....... Yeah.. well..... my father would kill me for saying this but... ah... equally valid.
And because a comment I left at "Stir Fry Awesomeness" recently raised the question as to how many bloggers are introverts and how many are extroverts, I've decided to take a sample using you, my readers. You'll notice the nice little poll thingy up the top there, and if you would kindly answer that honestly, a raccoon riding a pig through the Himalaya's will smile.
Thinking of you always,

hey Sco! I admire your dedication and willpower to write even when you don't feel like it... thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteI would fall under the extrovert category. I think that many personal bloggers are extroverted even if they think they are not. I don't know about demanding excessive admiration, though. I certainly want to be admired (ehem) but not excessively. That often leads to stalking.
ReplyDeletei cant answer the poll because i'm in the middle really. i've been missing you lots. you should not just leave like that without a trace.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely an interesting individual!
ReplyDeleteYou still watch Law and Order? I never got into that one. I'm more introverted even though people think an extrovert. Who says you can't be outgoing and shy at the same time?
ReplyDeleteI am extremely shy about being so outgoing. I don’t know if I am an extraVERT, an introVERT, but I know I am a perVERT. But that wasn’t one of the choices.
ReplyDeleteI'm introvertedly extroverted.
ReplyDeleteI know lots of introverts who blog because it saves them having to talk to anyone - but I'm a raging extravert, and from the 3 of us who've answered your poll so far, I see it's 2:1 in my favour ;)
ReplyDeleteI think most bloggers have Narcissistic Personality Disorder! xP
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely an extrovert!!
I'm a complete introvert, but my father thinks I'm a walking contradiction because I have an extroverted job (sales) and am involved in other things that don't seem to match my personality type.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Scosome! You Narcissistic? Nah. I think as bloggers we might have A.D.D. or A.D.H.D (attention deficit disorder), I mean, what good would all the hard work be with posting blog posts and the likes a blog if it didn't get any attention at all. I hate to admit it but I might actually just go ahead an diagnose myself as an extrovert with an acute case of narcissism due to A.D.D.
ReplyDeleteI just want to watch a raccoon ride a pig and smile...lol
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'm one or the other. And at this precise moment, not sure I care. The heat is making me grumpy....whine, cry, whine...
I'm afraid I would have to kill you if I told you, which kind of makes me introverted but then I would have to blog about it, which would kind of make me extroverted. So I'm going for Inextroverted or possibly exintroverted....
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wonder if I have a disorder and I just don't know it either...I'm kind of a hypochondriac like that!
ReplyDeleteI did the poll thingy, and now that I've said that much I'm thinking you'd probably be right to expect me to tell you what I said if I were an extrovert, and you'd probably be right to guess I was an introvert if I didn't say either way.
ReplyDeleteSo much for anonymity.
I think we're all compuverts, actually. It's a whole new category.
Well I'm certainly happy you decided to post this little bit of self reflection via SVU dialogue. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteEgh. And I can't decide if im an extrovert or not. Most people would say I am.. but in reality I'm just not so sure. I keep a lot of things inside and sometimes dont always like people. I voted extravert though.
OK. Weird. As you know, I'm also a fellow Scorpio. AND I was watching that very episode the other night and that exchange had caught my attention too. You're freaking me out . . .
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely an extro, but wasn't always that way.
ReplyDeleteInteresting conversation on SVU. I wonder what Ice
T would have to say about it?
Ack! A quiz - I wasn't prepared for a quiz. I don't think I know enough about myself to answer. Am I introverted? Extroverted?
ReplyDeleteI just can't handle the pressure!
Awww. My question made you put up a poll! I feel very special.
ReplyDeleteValidation from strangers is my crack. It keeps me blogging and keeps me off the ledge.
I think I am an extrovert in an intoverts body, does that make sense? because it does to me! lol....
ReplyDeleteI think we might have been separated at birth.
ReplyDeleteIntrovert most of the time, but I do have my moments of extroversion...
ReplyDeleteHmm ... are people with narcissistic personality disorder prone to introspection? Or does everything just feed their inflated view of themselves?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you don't have the personality disorder - maybe you just know you're that great. :) There's a difference. :) xo
oh btw - I was surprised to see the poll is leaning toward extroverts ...
