turkey vultures defecate on themselves to cool off and defend themselves by vomiting in the face of would-be predators

lol one positive trait is the comedy. but the negative is the fear of intimacy.
my dad one day went to jail too.
with what did she left her with young children?.
i love all animals are so cute but is not just petting and hugs but you have to clean their poo too. :/
(you can not have one without the other ,you have to be responsible)
but sometimes they need an expert to train them ,like the "cat from hell"show, because they act agressive constantly and they seem nuts.usually people will chose the less mean animal.
i don't think i am schizoid i seriously doubt because i have temper and i am not that apathetic but i relate with the barriers article in order to be inlove which is weird.
probably is fear mine but i can see how in other it might be something else and not just fear

Watching and observing from a distance. Not following, but not leading. They just are. Self-reliant, patient and thinking, always thinking.
I am fine with the description, I don't think it needs to be tied to an animal. Sheep can be used in various contexts so it's easier to steer clear of that one also.

Does it have turkeys where you work.what is the predator of a turkey vulture?
An other thought is owls aren't very trainable and fail tests, because maybe they are "indifferent" to these activities???
I forgot to say .i wouldn't choose to have an indifferent aninal to specific activities.

What do most schizoids think (almost said feel then I caught myself) about someone studying and testing them? Indifferent isn't the best word on second glance. Maybe avoidant? I jokingly meant to imply that maybe owls are highly intelligent creatures that see no purpose in researchers testing them so they don't try.

Considering we engage with you, I think indifference fits.

I appreciate you and all the other members allowing me to indulge my curiosity and need to understand the condition/spectrum. Everyone has been wonderfully patient and tolerant of my presence/intrusion. Thank you.
