'My approach: be fearless in availing yourself to the world. Never apologize for being who you are and never shy away from an opportunity to grow. People might be more willing to see your essence if...
Pottermore put me in Gryffindor!
When I gaze upon crumbled ruins and abandoned buildings, my imagination goes crazy. I try to imagine what these places looked like before, what it was like when these structures first went up. But...
I don't think you need to be all smiley-smiley, but just ask students about themselves and see how they're doing. I've worked with troubled youth in the past, and I found it best to simply talk to...
1. What was your biggest worry one year ago and how do you feel about it now? I didn't know if I was a good person...still not sure haha. 2. What must you do daily to keep yourself sane? Listen...
I think that individual thought process changes, not necessarily the objects and people around us.
I don't think that I am; it's not from a lack of trying though lol. I tormented myself in my younger years because I had this picture of how I wanted to be and I could never quite measure up. I...
I don't tell people what to do specifically most of the time. When I see someone complaining about their situation without taking the steps to change it, I try to be understanding initially because...
If you trust what it is that you stand for, then go with your instincts to act. The worse feeling for me is the regret that comes with not acting. Mistakes are inevitable, but also one of the best...
I try to take those images in my head of things should be and transform them into a possibility; the way things could be from one humble person's perspective. Even though I may study certain...
Slowly eroding!
Wait, I thought it was...
A woman randomly told me that I was very cute. It seems like a superficial/generic compliment, but it meant a lot because people usually say that I seem like a tough guy for some reason.
There used to be this bully back in grade school that always gave me a rough time. I tried to take the high road at first, but one day I just lost my cool and I instigated a fight with him. ...
I am often disgusted at the way many people out in the general public treat others. Many people I interact with are so quick to condemn others without questioning the circumstances that drive people...
I appreciate those sentiments, but you are being too kind; it's simply not true. Thank you though.
Aww, I feel bad now :sad:.
Conversation I had with a friend: Friend: Why are you so shy? Me: I'm not...? Friend: You never party with us and stuff! Me: You know that feeling you get when you're in a library or...
Can you do the eyebrow raise thingy, Veggie?!
I think I know of a similar feeling...:sad: For what it's worth, I think that the fragrance of poop, cheese, and onions has a certain charm to it.
I'm bitter towards people who grew up with extreme privilege and believe that they are special. No, you're not special. Shut up.
The way I see it, we're all wrong in some aspect of life. I don't mind others using quotes and the like, but I do mind when they hold those words to such a level that is said to be beyond what...
Look at this experience as a teaching tool for yourself. You have a better idea now of what you're looking for in a relationship. You now know what it feels like to share that deep connection with...
I'm still quite unremarkable as a human being, but that is also why I succeed.
I don't have any material possession or trinket, but I think it is a pretty cool concept! I suppose I can say that I wear my literal and figurative scars. I don't don them with pride, but I do not...
I've always felt quite sad about things, but externally what people see is a guy who has few cares and is always cracking jokes. Sometimes the mask comes off and that's when people think something...
For me the key is to face those thoughts and deal with them accordingly. It doesn't have to be right at that moment, but I tell myself that I can either address these things right now or at a later...
Same here, I was starting to feel left out! :tongue:
I can't say I identify with too may on here, but that's fine with me because it keeps things interesting. Also, it sometimes feels like I get ignored on here; I know it's not intentional and that...
I think my greatest asset is that I live for a cause and I have never once backed down from those beliefs I hold. Although I tend to be on the quiet side, people seem to gravitate towards me because...
I turn into a grump when I'm sleepy haha. I think some of that might be apparent if one were to look through my post history.
I feel like this past year had like ten chapters to it lol. Here's to a good year!
Sometimes it's hard to keep going when nobody loves you. :sad:
I love that feeling when a song from way back comes on the radio (haha yes I still listen to the radio sometimes!) and memories come flooding back.
Just general question for discussion: do you think that people tend to get more upset by the words or the ideologies and principles laying beneath it? For example, I've done a lot of work in...
I have no home, and these thoughts weigh down on me as well. I've found it useful to determine whether finding that perfect connection is the key to your ability to feel content and happy in life. ...
I have no problem with using 'they' as described in the conversation. The thing that stuck out to me the most is how much variation there really is in terms of sensitivity to issues. For those of...
To me, a mind is opened when there is a willingness to explore that which resides outside the structure of our own experiences. We can't experience every kind of scenario life has to offer, nor do I...
Sometimes I get really sad because I had no childhood...due to certain circumstances.
I think we all do this to an extent. For instance, a child might carefully think about when to make a confession to her parent (such as in a certain time and place) to minimize her punishment. This...
I think that sometimes people get too caught up in what the real you is. If you don't like what you see in the mirror, then it becomes too easy to shrug it off and say well that's not who I...
I don't really prioritize the way in which I deal with emotions, as I like to roll with the punches. But I do find more value in emotions that I can tie and relate to larger issues I care about. I...
Quite a few of the INFJs I've met in life struggle to find the right words they want to use, which is something I share as well. However, I also have had a problem on top of that with physically...
Hahaha yes, exactly! It may seem extreme to some, but I've always been that way. Makes me wonder what I'd be doing had I grown up in a different time lol.
I get told this a lot too, and I reply with something like well, it's better than being your goofy-looking ass all smiley and shit all the time! When those people smile, it doesn't even mean...
I'm a better person than all of the other people in my life. I validate myself. I'm great, even if not humble.
I think you give yourself worth. Other people can believe whatever they want, and that's good for getting social clout, but if you don't believe in it, then is that really worth something to you? I...
I don't want to have children because I wouldn't be a good parent. My home life was messed up growing up, so I don't even know what to do in that role. I wish other people were more honest with...
Man, I'm dealing with this too. I especially hate it when there's that tough guy that tries to threaten me. I'm like fuck you, if you want to scare me into doing something, you're going to have to...
Syzygi Actually I think it is important to examine why you do these things in order to find a way to get out of it. You don't have to share it here, and I may be wrong, but that is how I managed to...'
