I think Joe Weinstein's thoughts on intensity are well put.  I have found
that when someone reacts intensely to me, and I perceive it as a feeling
triggered by me, that's very flattering and even exciting.  But, if that
intensity seems to be triggered by a need or desperation, then it's
not attractive at all.  I think I make the distinction somewhat subconsciously.
I think the person with the latter motivation for their intensity tends to have
aura of pain around them that I think I usually detect just from talking to
them.
