I have been suffering a drought of stimulating and compatible pals the last few years. ( Enter Fluther )
My 25 yr. old daughter and her boyfriend are my best friends at this time. They are both knowledge hounds like myself, creatives, very bright, and we have the best time together.
My joke about “breeding your own” kind. lol
Being an extroverted NTP type I thrive on stimulating conversations involving new ideas, concepts, theory, and most of my other friends are SJ types, dependable, hardworking, devoted and loyal but not imaginative, curious or creative. They talk mostly about people and events where I most enjoy brainstorming ideas, and talking about a myriad of subjects above and beyond who did what and dull everyday routine.
I am always the one that has to adjust to their level, as they are just not capable of elevating themselves to mine. It’s rather dreary, but, I try to focus on their strengths and find my brain buddies elsewhere, they just don’t “feed” me on an intellectual level at all.
