    checkingYouOut : I've studied something called the enneagram for years, and you are a classic type 4.
    checkingYouOut : Others see you as over emotional, they don't understand your strong feelings.
    checkingYouOut : When others gloss over life and talk in a shallow way you get antsy and feel the urge to say....
    checkingYouOut : ...something that will make them go deeper.
    checkingYouOut : They may get offended, but it was worth it. You made them aware of how...
    checkingYouOut : ...shallow, boring, and meaningless, their lives are.
    checkingYouOut : You know you are different from others, and this feels like a strength, but also a weakness.
    checkingYouOut : Did you ever see Edward Scissorhands? That's what it is to be a 4.
    checkingYouOut : You know you are special, but it's your pain that makes you special.
    checkingYouOut : Others can't understand you until they understand your pain.
    checkingYouOut : And when they are close enough to know how much you suffer, only then can they know...
    checkingYouOut : ... the strength you have gained through dealing with this suffering.
    checkingYouOut : Above all, you want to be recognized and loved for being...
    checkingYouOut : ...the strange, unique, beautiful, creature you are.
    checkingYouOut : Instead you feel the world demonizes you for being different.
    checkingYouOut : It can seem at times like everyone is against you, but then, you find your people...
    checkingYouOut : The ones who know, who are as creative as you, and different, but proud.
    checkingYouOut : And that's what gives you hope. To know that somewhere out there are a small elite of...
    checkingYouOut : ... equally superior beings, who will understand, love, and support you, and accept you as...
    checkingYouOut : ... you are.
    checkingYouOut : And allow you to express yourself and show the world how amazing you are when you are free
    checkingYouOut : OK, I admit, I know because I'm a 4 too :)
    checkingYouOut : Anyway 4s usually deal with depression. I kind of go in and out of it.
