For example: Some have aggression with sarcasm without considering the depth of a subject. Others have shyness with a "pre-apologetic" personality. Others become perverse, in that they have sudden outbursts, somewhat like ADD. These are only a few groupings I've noticed but they always seem to cluster in the type of traits that are seen together.

ha, I think I've fit the profile of all three of those at different points in my life. I used to be more the shy type but lately I've become more angry and likely to lash out at people, usually strangers. Though I'm still shy. I hope you are right about mercury having such a dramatic difference in behavior. I find myself doing things that I consider very much "out of character". Driving for example, I've become a road rage maniac, impulsively flipping the finger every chance I get. This makes no sense, anyone who knows me can tell you that's not my personality at all. One of these days I'm going to get myself in serious trouble...

I like the word "disconnected" to describe being mercury intoxicated. It feels like life isn't even happening; it's just a movie playing across my eyelids. People aren't real, just materialist constructs. Empathy, the real thing not the "intellectualized sort", is hard to come by..
