I fit these criteria 100% -- but, I guess I am kind of cynical about "personality" types, because in a list like that, if you have one trait you're bound to at least somewhat identify with the others. Every time I take one of those personality tests I always end up some bizarre type that they say .00062% of the population belongs in and that my ideal career is to become a mortician.

OK, here's something I do that I think is probably really freaky. I am super-sensitive -- I cry at anything. But I will also inadvertently keep embellishing on a stray worry until I arrive at some horrible conclusion.

Example -- I'll worry about my husband not showing up somewhere, and think about what if he got in an accident, and imagine a state trooper coming to the door with a somber look and a "ma'am, maybe you should sit down first", and then imagine the gaping hole of despair within me of having him gone, and trying to come up with money for the funeral, and then being stuck with this half-remodeled house where most of it is torn apart, and trying to sell it --

And then my husband will walk in the door and ask me why I look so depressed. I try to explain to him that he's dead and that I've lost $35,000 on the sale of the house, but he looks at me like I'm nuts.

OK, I just read that over, and I really am nuts. Or maybe I am exceptionally Special and Sensitive. Really.

Does anyone else find this gremlin creepy?
