What does RP have to say about "intensity" as a personality trait?

Sounds like me. And it's more like manic, not intensity. Its still an indication that you aren't very disciplined, nor are we empathetic enough to catch a few social queues or even care.

I think women sometimes viewed this as being too invested / anxiously attached

Or it's not a glass of refreshing water but a fire hose. So it's too much either way. That's why I poor that energy into writing fiction because more often than not it's a damn drain on my wife.

deal lightly with them rather than being intensely interested

You're too overt. You need to be able to reign it in.

Another aspect of being intense is that I have trouble multitasking; it is hard to talk, think, and read my audience simultaneously. (I focus on the thinking to the exclusion of reading.) I can be oblivious. It is easier for me to talk to one person at a time.

I took on an additional duty to train Army Special Forces for about a year. You have to get skilled at this and then it won't be multitasking.

I used to disdain smalltalk, of any kind. Somewhat similar to your intensity idea. I would do it, but my heart wasn't in it.

Intensity alone isn't a turn off, but it can blind you. The boring parts of socializing are important to build rapport and bring down peoples guard. Men and women.

Yeah I'm either "on" or "off" on women and my "on" is too intense for them I think. In my "off" state I'm completely incapable of making moves so even if a girl was into me I'd probably be feeling perfectly content without her so I'd see no need to do anything.

I think I’m an intense person. Let me try to define "intensity" by way of my own personality. I mean that I tend to focus on one topic (or person) totally and constantly. I gravitate toward topics about which one can obsess and think deeply (theories about sex, politics, and math) rather than topics which are “light” and good for small talk (weather, celebrity gossip). I am the last to suggest ending any conversation, especially if it is about a topic I enjoy.

Hate to break it to ya but most people don't really "gossip" about the weather anywhere except the "corporate elevator" or a few other similar places.

And celebrity gossip is probably less popular than gossiping about people you know or work with among people who know each other.

Intense = slightly creepy. HTH.

You have issues that will attract personality disordered women. Get a therapist and you'll be quickly put on the right path.

This isn't a personality trait, it's disorder.
