Would you call yourself an intense person?

I’d like to know mroe about you. Are you an intense person?

God I hope not, most intense people are a complete pain in the ass.

People used to tell me I’m intense. I don’t hear that anymore, but in some ways I still am. I have a couple of topics that I have very strong opinions about (just like a lot of us). Otherwise, I’m pretty mellow.

An intense person is stressful to be around. I am not stressful to hang out with.

Nah, pretty mellow. I almost married an intense guy and he wore me out, it really is stressful like @snowberry said.

I can be when I need to be.There are times when it’s useful to be able to lock in like a laser on something, take a “no nonsense” attitude, and not let up. But that’s just one of many useful ways to be, and you need to be able to switch from one to another. Being stuck in any one mode is a problem. If someone is “an intense person”, then they’re probably stuck and don’t know how to turn it off. That’s very tiresome.

I am not intense, but I have great depth. I think the difference is having humor about oneself.

I certainly can be regarding certain topics, but I’ve learned there’s a time and a place. I also have a good sense of humor about myself, so that helps.

Do you ever ask questions that are not copied from online quizzes?

Complex yes, intense, not really.
I am very enhthusiastic when something strikes my fancy, I’m an idea person, very creative and an information hound. I can get very excitable when I have a new focus, idea, interest, passion and might talk your ear off but I am not intense in the sense of being a boor.

I have a seriously intense side I can use when I need it. But it’s draining, so I keep it off and just let my laidback side out most of the time.

I am easy going and not intense at all. I like to see the bigger picture.

I am often taken for being intense when I am serious and analytical in appropriate circumstances.

No, I am never described as intense and I don’t think I have the same characteristics as some of the people that I find intense although, that may be subjective and so I could well be intense to others. People used to tell me that I was aloof but that hasn’t happened for a long time. I’m obviously a lot more approachable nowadays than I was then!

As my job is very customer based, working with them to train or rehabilitate their pets which, like working with troubled children, can sometimes be a very sensitive issue for owners/parents, I try not to make people feel uncomfortable when I am communicating with them so I remain as lighthearted as possible.

Decreasingly. I was very intense in high school – always going going going, had to be the best. I am chilling out considerably these days.
