I'm Dutch, and this might not be a well know stereotype, but we Dutch are hard to befriend if you're a stranger. I'm working on it, but I'm still guilty
Yeah.... this as well, except in my case "PDD-NOS" is replaced with "Asperger syndrome".SimuLord said:Is there some sort of stereotype I fit for being reclusive, quiet, introverted, reserved, yet fiercely loyal to that very small circle of people who have earned my trust and whom I've allowed to get close to me?
Right. That's not a stereotype...it's a diagnosis, the atypical autism (aka PDD-NOS) that was formally sussed out by a shrink when I was 18 and which I manage remarkably well provided I'm given enough time to recharge my batteries after too much time in the company of other humans not on the aforementioned "OK to get close" list.
