Backstory: Trying out a game where players are randomly matched according to some leveling system for one game. I get matched with this player who is either really serious & long term or has invested...
u200bTo be happy.
If it hurts in the end, isn't that ultimately proof that it was worth it? In high-school, in college, people are growing together, putting down little roots in each others' soul. When it comes to...
I am me, shaped by the world.
If it helps, I go about life with the intent to do things that will make myself matter. Not a question of what matters, but rather how will it matter, if that makes any sense. I've always viewed...
Yes. The usual kind, I suppose. A violent and controlling father who dominated my childhood/teenage years. Then separation, estrangement, and the discovery that his shadow still looms over you...
Door slammed: 7 Houdini'd: Too many to count.
I don't know what to think, not anymore. Not after seeing the scattered remains of people, individuals who existed, lived, laughed, fought, who had dreams now decomposing without dignity and being...
I usually have no problem apologising when I feel as if I am truly wrong. Generally, I state my mistake, apologise, then add something reflective about the situation. Slightly awkward, but necessary...
But isn't there a previous condition imposed on her love - that you are her son - and the same for you - she is your mother- (not discounting your bond in any way, please don't take offence). And...
I was considering taking my fold up camp bed and a sleeping bag + pillowcases of some kind. Roughing it in a nice hotel :rolleyes: Now that you mention it, I might bring my own towels as well....
Yes, I believe in unconditional love. It must be possible, although I don't think I'll ever be able to offer it to anyone. Being on the receiving side would be a burden as well (I'd imagine), because...
I would be interested to know how the plastic mattress cover works in practice. Are there rustling noises every time you shift in bed? Comfortable? I'm going on holiday and the idea of hotel...
Early twenties. I attend university.
I can't sleep unless I shower before bed, and change my pillowcase. A few months ago, the idea of sleeping on the same old mattress with all the accumulated skin flakes/accidental drink...
I have this problem as well. Sometimes I fail to hand in assignments/essays which I have already completed, because I feel that that's not my best. A less-than-perfect grade for a 10% assignment can...
After thinking it over, I see your point. Perhaps grounding myself first in the real world is necessary before I start making virtual connections...would you recommend volunteering in my situation? ...
1. Peeking at the end of the chapter/end of the book is sacrilege to me :tongue:. Though I tend to skim if the book becomes tedious. 2. I tend to commit to finishing a book before I open a new...
1. The Mentalist 2. Dr. Who 3. House 4. The Hours of My Life (Japanese drama) - truly moving.
My mission in life is to be happy from making others happy. And matter, in some small (or large) way.
Hardest: ESTJ, but I could imagine difficulty with an INFJ child on my part (wanting to be the ideal mother, failing to do so etc.) Easiest: INFP, ISFP. Enneagram: Hardest: Type 8. ...
I confess that I just want everyone to be happy.
To cut a long story short, I've recently come out of a year-long personal 'funk' in which I completely withdrew from everyone including myself. Realising and taking responsibility for the amount of...
Is there a concrete way to 'confirm' typing results? I mean, I currently identify as an INFJ .The personality descriptions seem to fit, I feel at ease in this forum, and much of what is said about...
I should really stop posting when I'm in one of these moods.I come off sounding like a sanctimonious bastard, or the female version of it.
Myself. The ugliness inherent in the world pissed me off until I looked into a mirror and saw it reflected in myself.
I feel drunk at the moment. Don't misunderstand- never touched a drug for anything other than a medicinal purpose (think wisdom teeth pain which had me contemplating (only) painkiller cocktails),...
I don't have ambition as such. I just want to be who I was brought into the world to be, to become the person I am meant to be. I want to affect people, cause changes, weave my name into the...
I confess that something is missing, and I don't know what it is.
Perhaps one of the hardest parts of life is learning to accept oneself, to be at peace, to be who we 'ought to be'. To be honest, the best advice I can offer is moderation, restraint and control....
First of all, you are not a loser. Now- I've always felt that I had expectations to live up to, and duties to fulfil to the people who love me. Part of this feeling comes from my family...
If I should carve us in a tree penknife slipping on bark carefree- Would you set my pierced heart free, twenty years after forgetting me? Your sun-brushed locks are dimmer now, the freckles...
Economics, Accounting and Finance, and hating every minute of it. I swear, the worst torture in life is studying a degree which repels your soul. Yes, filial piety is important, and yes, I do...
When I tell myself that I need a break, am I also hinting that I need to break? Also, I can't stand it when bakeries over-bake a batch of bread.
I don't think I ever stopped being a child. I guess you could say I learnt to be an adult in order to keep being the child. I would have to credit books for allowing me to do so. I read early,...
I confess that I've never been able to keep a journal. Instead, I write little thoughts/phrases on random bits of paper, corners of books, or on backs of receipts which inevitably go missing a day...
If I only realise a mistake after it has happened, why let me realise it at all? All I am going to do is ruminate and brood on the mistake, replaying it over and over from different perspectives,...
I'm actually in a similar situation myself. The behaviour cycles, the lashing out, the tendency to extremes. Even the family background seems similar, and I do think that growing up in that...
Uh, I guess having a relative with schizophrenia would add to my chances. But the breathing is hardly a regular occurrence, and I don't 'hear' anything else. I mean, it comes once, then vanishes for...
Though this has little to do with personality types.... I was in my room attempting to fall asleep when 'something' started breathing outside my window. Steady long breaths, heavy, sounded...
When I read the words 'storing up energy' I envisioned myself walking around with a huge tank on my back which needed a trip to the refill station :) Though I do envy you. Those few months must have...
As the thread title states, do any other INFJ's ever have periods where they feel utterly worn out? Because currently, I feel like a limp leaf of spinach clinging onto the side of a bin liner. I feel...
To be satisfied.
Does it matter?
Dry Rails of licorice, shining tracks greased with wear, lost cares, the pomade in his waxy hair. Will you toss me down to lie, half folded, crumpled. My locks cry smearing blood on a...
If the person used to be a close friend of mine, I would tolerate a lot before deciding on an action/taking action. I tend to give them more and more rope, and usually end up handing them the end and...
What is your typical reaction to physical pain? When people are around me and the source of pain is visible, I smile to reassure them. In some weird cases, I start laughing. But when I'm by...
I can relate to your INFJ's behaviour in the context of friendship. With friends,I display the on-and-off behaviour because sometimes I feel as if I'm pushing too much for connection, asking to...
What happens when you score near equally between J and P, T and F on tests? How accurate are the tests online in determining personality type?
Yes, all the time. It does not matter how poignant the advice, or how irrefutable the logic-if it comes from someone else, it provides only temporary relief. I tend to obsesses over certain issues,...
