+ to be talked up and talked down by friends over trivialities, and always hope that they don't get sick of you.
+ to share too much with too many people too quickly because feedback is a drug.
+ to feel elated and devastated over the slightest of interactions and to over-analyze every last feeling that passes the cortex.
+ to withdraw and hope that no one notices until you're ready to re-emerge.

+ to be effusive, sometimes uncomfortably.
+ to hide this intensity.
