: C'est moi. What do you call it when flux is the steady state? Certainly not chaos, at least not from where I live.

: I learned this early, in my early teens. The silence between the notes is said to be where the music really is, and that applies here. It's pauses, eye movement, breathing, cadence, inflection, word choices, and what they say and do that are, as I call it, "situationally flexible". These are the things I learned to track second-nature, and I don't even have to be quiet or still to do it. Data always reveals itself over time. Always.

: I grew up believing everyone operated this way, and I thought I was somehow doing it wrong until I was in college. In college I saw most people, often including and sometimes especially faculty and staff, totally not. That's when I began to tell myself and other people I was "wired differently". it was in jest, but I found out when I 44 that I was right about it.

: The tactile sensations of clothes was REALLY bad when I was a little kid. Also, the noises clothes made while wearing them drove me batty, sometimes to distraction until I was in high school. Both still bother me sometimes, and I'm 53 (in eight days, on 9/9) now.

(cont’d) …the days where my neurology does me zero favors, and it’s nothing to do with socializing and shite happenings in that department. It’s the reliably consistent collective bananasry that even though I know how/why it happens gets so heavy that it avalanches, like my subconscious has to vent the pressure. It doesn’t vent at other people. It just blows it all forward into my conscious mind, and I have to wade through it.

: For the record, I coined the term in 11th-grade, in Mrs. Osborne's psychology class and was told I was wrong, that one had to be either Introverted or Extroverted. Also, both of my therapists that year had the same reaction.

Folks do love them some pigeonholes and binariness.
