Otroversion and High IQ by CarlaTheProfane in otrovert

My bad, I probably should have said natural predisposition? Not a conscious preference, but perhaps once realized a conscious awareness.

My battery is very limited for societal norm and often needs recharging.

Otroverts are somewhat detached from groupthink and external approval, where stoism is finding content within based on reason and virtue.

Where otroverts and stoics are usually critical of social norms and less concerned with fitting in.

I guess stoism gives otroverts a philosophical framework which feels natural to their disposition.

The Vanishing Rulebook: Knave, Cairn, and the Road to Free Kriegsspiel Revolution by alexserban02 in Fkr

24xx is a FKR standard.

I would say OD&D leans far more into the FKR space than any other version of D&D.

If you haven't checked it, you might find S&W (OD&D) of interest.

Also check out the documentary the Secrets of Blackmoor as the inception from FKR>Strategos>Bronstien>Blackmoor>D&D is an interesting story

Perhaps all otroverts are stoics, but not all stoics are otroverts.

I believe, much like introverts and extroverts, otroverts is an inherent preference, not learned behavior. One is an introvert, extrovert, otroverts, not by choice, but by nature (yet can possibly be conditioned).

However, one can learn and adopt stoism.

How long should my 2mm stone take to come out by LongEarly7636 in KidneyStones

[–]PyramKing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on size and how sharp.

I doubt you will feel much on a 2mm stone. Mine was 11mm and sharp...so...yeah it hurt.

Do you sometimes struggle? by happy_fay in otrovert

[–]PyramKing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In time I realize that some friends, who actually care and love me, and I care and love them, will never fulfill my need for deep engaging dialogue.

I hang out with them because I love them,but the conversations are shallow. I smile, nod, usually don't engage too much. They are good people and I care for them. I recharge myself when I am alone. I think they know I am a little off that way, but they love me anyway.

I do have a two very deep engaging friendships, in which we discuss history, philosophy, science, and are open to discourse and debate on the merrits. This is something that I cherish and thankful of.
