But, lemme tell you, if a someone is blocking the flow of traffic, specifically, if that causes me to miss something (a bus, a train, a traffic light), I feel as if there is some intelligence at work, and the whole world was designed to fuck w/ me.... and I'm an atheist.
Do you more easily get very upset over 'minor' things (e.g. losing your favourite pen) than over which others get upset about (e.g. a relative passing away)? Well -- regarding death in particular, I've never been upset at a death. Are you sometimes very calm in situations that others find stressful?

Is it hard for you to break up from a relationship? Yup. Can you often appreciate people without putting demands on them?

YES, judging by my reactions to most movie stars... and a lot of engineers. It's not just intelligence though. Anyway, oh my, yes. Do you have an interest in or have practised BD/SM? Does it cause chaos in your body or mind if your plans
