'I got eleven. By the questions, a highly sensitive person is someone who can't handle much.
'Someone pleeeze tell me whooo I aaammm' >> 'Oh, ok, you're a total jerk!' 'Reeely? (silly grin) Oh ok!' Goes away whistling. Jeeeeze.
That comparing oneself w/others produces a competitive frame of mind, where your ego is either gloating with superiority (I've got a better body/boyfriend/vehicle, strut strut) or cringing in...
This exactly sums up my present thoughts and feelings. I am a rather extroverted person, and what I crave is precisely that energizing spontaneous dance of words and facial expressions and body...
hi there, cookie monster! ;)
Yes! yes! yes! What a mentally underemployed piece of dog - but delicacy has prevented me from proceeding further.
I loved this post! I wish everyone were in touch w/themselves enough to know when they're wrong and apologize, & actually be able to celebrate being called an asshole! I've got to say, though, that...
all other things being equal - emotional EQ, that they're equally into me, equally nice, supportive, occasionally mysterious, the other non-intellectual qualities I find attractive... then given all...
I've gone from squalor to untidy. Laundry is building up less. I threw quite a lot of stuff out in the spring. But I like it untidy. I will say, though, that no matter how bad it gets, the...
I'm glad someone gets my sense of humour and lightheartedness... we're all just works in progress. Peace love harmony xox etc
Well the question said really loves which is kinda loaded, cos depending on who you listen to, real love is a lot about doing stuff you don't feel like doing because you want to extend yourself...
I think you're extrapolating trends you see short run, now, into the long term future, and going: YIKES Whereas just remember that there are plenty of things new that occur, that interfere with...
Beautiful! Nice to see other intelligent sensitive kids dumpt into the machine. The art class I can really identify with... yeah, we were all supposed to draw this carrot. So everyone was...
Deeds not words. Joking around playfully. I could see how a sensitive soul might be off-put. Me, I figure I lose interest if the person isn't a little mysterious. It works out well if you...
I get it, you like to *use* your intuition, like. Whereas I react as oh, that's just an iq test, not the main event, which is about character, funny lines to use in other situations, etc. So we...
1. Pornography and the eww reaction to body odor are a plot to reduce sexual activity because of HIV. 2. Logical argument is almost always a cover for feelings, un-responibility taken. An ant...
Yes; I think it's sort of a biological vote for life being more than it seems, a willingness to just believe in some ultimate goodness regardless. Not an intellectual problem, or a God you call up...
Thirty nine percent. Well, external intuition is supposed to be my stronger suit, anyway. I liked it.
There is a cute description in Socionics. A bit theatrical or attention-getting clothing, but not impeccably fashionable, that would be too S. Not in super good shape, not a pin-up, that would...
Warm friendly people who say 'what if' and don't mind changeable plans... yeah, we're out there! Welcome ;)
Maybe it's my imagination or memory playin tricks but I think the ISFPs get thanked, relative to the number of their posts, pretty darn little. Nobody seems to care. And some groups (ISTJs and...
It does stand to reason that if you answer the questions accurately, and have enough life experience to know how you react in numerous situations, the descriptions should, on the whole, be accurate,...
I give people friendly looks, and a surprising number look friendly back. Some of them look snooty and sour back, and I feel sorry for them, like who urinated in your cornflakes, hun? If I'm in a...
You don't mind it when someone spoils a movie by telling the surprise ending cos with those type movies, you often figure them out early anyway, and the plot isn't the most interesting thing about...
It made the argument go through, but it is not certain, is it. I've heard INFPs say on another thread that a purely intellectual probe is a good thing, and many Feelers will be overly sensitive and...
Ok I had to post this. I'm ENFP, no doubt about it... but... I've developed quite an appreciation for this kind of thing. I don't actively seek it out, but I do think a smartass getting it in the...
How's this one for size? Belief that X is true is a pattern of discharge in brain A. Belief that X is not true is a pattern of discharge in brain B. But patterns of discharge are just facts that...
I have debated formally in my University days, and was quite successful in convincing a class of a viewpoint that I'd been assigned to uphold - knew the subject thoroughly, kept hitting the opposing...
I remember reading on this blog, it said that it was more complicated than just sexual pull and divided things up into (1) plain sex attraction, (2) openness to friendship/equality/chat, and (3)...
Here's a little oldie, then - reel feely, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvP0uwl3Q6A
Yeah, let's get away from yellow butterflies in pink mist and all that. This is a nice take on an old U2 song, imo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zybYuIh68XA
This thread is awesome. A lot of really deep thought here. I think part of it is the prisoners dilemma kind of thing. You know, if I'm the only one to do good, I get burned, even though if...
Oh, I forgot to include this, my above post makes no sense whatever without it... oopsie
It's that way by definition. I think the apologetics here is saying - as did C. S. Lewis - that it is not unthinkably unreasonable to suppose God exists & is good. I wish all your co-religionists...
As the OP, I guess I should have been a bit more careful - when I said totally trust, tell them anything I had mistakenly thought that it would be understood that I wasn't referring to absolutely...
Yes, I apologize for my insensitivity. I suppose that the thing I'd like to give you is perspective, and really, I can't just give that. I guess what I was trying to get at, was that if you could...
When I look at my planetary gear avatar just now, and try to read the emotion in its facial expression, and come up with taken aback, but hopeful.
Yes, that description is really good! I always get thrown off by being interrupted, too, cos it breaks the train of thought completely. Don't interrupt while I'm interrupting - that's really...
It helped me to realize that other people (who weren't in love with me, or in some other way over-focused on me) spent about as much time thinking about me (not how I affected them but about *me* you...
oh, here's a link: We have fewer trusted friends, study says - seattlepi.com
So I was reading that a long-term study shows that since the mid eighties ppl have fewer trusted friends, best friends, confidants. These are the people you totally trust. You'd tell them anything....
Hey, this thing hasn't even begun to screw you up, babe. You want a real headf**K?? Go check out Sam Vaknin on Malignant Narcissism. Any type can learn to tie their shoes, read a clock, come on...
Anything by A. H. Almaas. It's so vague and superior at the same time. A spiritual con man, generally, will cause me to throw up. A lot of new age stuff.
Well just winging it, I'd say that she's ISFP, and the kindf rigidness or non-spontaneity could be a strict catholic background with that pair of thinkers running it?
If pathological liars (which is not a diagnosis) were a common trait of ENFPs, it would have been long since noted and show up in the profile of the ENFP/unhealthy. When we get unhealthy, we don't...
Especially in the early dialogues (Ion is a charming little puppy and Soc. is a jerk) - but in the later ones sometimes Socrates gets his come-uppance... I remember I think it was Protagoras, and...
I have had a very hard time keeping at yoga type sitting, breathing meditation, where I just sit there, and concentrate on the one thing, breathing, but as little as it's progressed, it has made a...
I remember being in therapy and saying I thought I was a psychopath but the stuff I was thinking was normal enough for someone with imagination. The therapist actually laughed about it with me. And...
chunky chocolate chip cookies, a whole row of them, with coffee (mmm)
I looked all this up over a period of a year and kind of ended up here out of curiosity. I liked some of my type's traits a lot, but I's not super displayed, so some of it I didn't entirely relate...'
