'I was thinking about this earlier and decided to post something. It's not so bad to be misunderstood as long as it doesn't have a tangible effect... It's just that people have an annoying tendency to...
I see what you mean. Thank you for the warning. I will keep on my toes. Still, I hope you will take the time to learn how evolution actually works from someone who really understands it. *nod* I...
I failed to adequately specify in my original post because I thought it would be obvious from context. To me, that means you haven't bothered to actually think about any part of my post (strengthened...
Yes, Marilyn Manson also advocates the same concepts that I have claimed to be unsuccessful. Go ahead and try to find a GM commercial telling people that if they don't get the Sierra, they are going...
The reason I mentioned my choir friend is because you would have asked how I knew him if he was raised on a farm and homeschooled while I'm obviously a city girl with a public education. The reason I...
That's a PSA, not a marketing ad. Missing the point.
Feel it? Yes. Believe it? No. :)
I know exactly what you mean.... but... one time, my curiosity and emotions got the better of me, and I tried being vulnerable and needy and selfish in public...... it didn't change anything. The...
I disagree completely. To put it succinctly: religion, spirituality, etc. is a part of humanity. How we see ourselves in the grand scheme of things is a huge factor in how we make decisions. The...
I hope you'll forgive me for saying so but I think the concept of 'deserving' has only caused problems for people lately. If people think they deserve more, they get to be entitled, lazy, and...
What do you mean by 'not meant to '? That implies there is some purpose to our existence, which as much as I like to believe we do, we don't know for sure. As for the large Hadron Collider, the...
I gave you two on-topic points to address, and you ignored them and instead took offense to my saying you are misinformed. What does that say about your true motives here? I did post my beliefs...
Wow... You are badly indoctrinated and misinformed, just like my choir friend who was home schooled. How can you contest that higher elements are formed of lower ones? That is literally why the sun...
They're exceptions in that it's not easy to tell based on the law of agape. In the case of abortion, it can be difficult because a fetus could be thought of as a person (although I disagree, it takes...
My view is that we don't and can't know anything that doesn't directly affect us in some way, so we should try to come up with consistent and simplistic rationalizations for what we do witness. In...
Perfect. We may be hyper-efficient happiness generators, but it can be hard to accept that we need maintenance too! Maybe. I kind of agree. But on the other hand, if you are genuinely...
Stop doing that, imo. It's been a long time in coming but I'm starting to think it's better to ruin your relationship with people who do that than to let them walk all over you.
Why don't you stop treating them (and yourself) like free agents and figure out what the patterns are? I think if you realize people are NOT fully in control of their actions - and the only reason...
Is it just me who disagrees vehemently with every INFP I meet on almost every issue, despite how badly we both want to get along?
Really, it's mostly a matter of repeating a pattern that their parents inflicted on them. But how it gets justified - that's a breakpoint. The difference between guilt that can prevent it, and...
To me, what matters less is what their intention is and more why they do it. A father beating his son to teach him to deal with the harshness of the world? Okay, maybe that's an admirable intention...
Yeah, I was thinking about posting something about this but I wasn't sure if it was an 'INFJ thing' or not. but it really seems like most of us do have a deathly fear of being misunderstood,...
If they're going to be telling you what to do, then you need to protect yourself from them; your defensive stance is justified. Maybe it's not 100% guaranteed that someone who tells you how to sit...
That's not healthy. What's making you close off?
^ on that note... (ehm, no pun intended) When just about anything can move you if you're in the right mindset for it. And in my case at least, you cherish those moments.
lol, I could have told you that about him. It's a disgustingly common behaviour pattern; you will see it all the time if you look for places where it can put itself in evidence. Still, I think it can...
When you think you know better than everyone else, not because you have the best way of thinking but because you know how they think. Easy: delusion.
I think if we can get the civility back on track like this, then there's no reason to stop this discussion. Okay. That's fair. I'll try and be a little more varied then, or explain better, or...
IDRK, you seem to be confused into thinking that everything I'm saying disagrees with you and is wrong, or something. You need to snap out of this funk where you're like 'no, no, no, no, and no and...
[rudeness removed] (sorry, I was in a weird state of mind)
That's exactly what happened to me :P Honestly, it's not a big deal. The fact that you're on the dividing line of T/F and J/P says a lot more about your personality than trying to shoehorn you into...
You both need better friends... :( I know it takes forever but it's worth every second you spend searching for someone who's...um... who will take you as you are, rather than as they perceive you. ...
Duh? :P According to my brief googling research, the most common sources of B6 are bananas, fish (tuna, snapper, etc.), and birds (chicken, turkey, etc.). Do you eat much of those?
My experience is that Ps are more perfectionistic than Js, which is why they have trouble finishing anything :P None of the other factors really correlate...
It's both. They're literally the same thing. Right? I don't see how any of these statements are even remotely related to one another, much less follow from one another. I don't think...
Yes but it's represented in the brain as well. If you're crying or acting weird in front of me, it's because I make you feel unusual :3 and... regardless of what the rationalization is, it's...
Enjoy doing things for other people just because your brain echoes how they feel about it :3 (also applies to sex >.>)
naw, I'm just saying, be careful with these things because they might apply to a lot more people than you realize :)
Haha. This has started happening in the past ~3 days. You're absolutely right >.>'
This is how astrology works FYI
Yes, but you shouldn't. :P It'll only keep coming back as long as you're under stress. Just because it's the most common solution doesn't mean it's the most effective, cheapest, or otherwise best...
Exactly. It's not clear-cut. Think of diabetes (the acquired type) for example. It's obviously a physiological disease. But the cause is behavioural - it has a psychological origin. Hm? I don't think...
Regardless of whether it's from the brain, there are physical representations of it in there. I don't see what you could possibly be missing with regards to that.
Uh, behaviour originates in the brain so...? Every 'disorder' has a neurological/neuromodulatory engram, whether we know the exact structural details or not. Yes. Maybe! Yes.
Hm, those are some good points and info. It seems a little counterintuitive to me though... I think of 'addictive' with reference to everything including video games and exercise etc. whereas...
I submitted a reply but I guess it's not visible til the owner approves it, so I'll just paste it here as well. I'm a childfree INFJ. I think you ought to know that introverted intuitives and...
Medicine is informed byscience, that doesn't mean it's science itself. Just because your high school chemistry class teaches you about chemistry doesn't mean you are literally doing chemistry every...
I don't know about you but I hate needing help. Why can't I just be an immovable pillar of strength for everyone else to lean on? It works most of the time... it's when someone tries to do something...
video games, poor memory, resentment.
I'm just saying, it's not like it's some kind of official source. If you read the thread you'll see a lot of people contesting their 'findings' which are actually more like stereotypes.. Um,...'
