'Politely, I'll say it's about working towards building structures that support women's specific health needs. Anything beyond that is just more information than I care to post here at this time. ...
In short: I don't. Something I have worked on is to simply experience feelings without judging myself for them, and without judging them as good or bad, or as something to be overcome. When I...
Recently I completed a major undertaking in my life. I pursued this undertaking partly for personal reasons and partly for greater reasons. While this undertaking lead to enormous personal...
I wish people could grow up to be the people they had the potential to be and not the people they are. I put so much of myself into you, and all I uncovered was selfishness and hate. I feel so sad...
Not so much this. (And not an effort to be dodgy either so much as wishing to retain a certain degree of privacy.) It's a rather hard thing to explain in a generalized context. To use the race...
I apologize if this is a bit of a ridiculous thing to ask. I'm interested in thoughts or ideas on what happens when an individual experiences collective issues as personal emotions. This can be...
Food: Historically I've had terrible eating habits because I was so disconnected from the need for physical health. This seems like an irony considering that I'm fascinated with the body as a...
It took me a long time, but eventually I figured out that I have sort of an internal compass, which basically just means that I generally do my best in life when I sort of trust my gut. There...
Ramble-riffic! Not really. Usually if I'm not sure, I'll state that what I'm saying is my best current knowledge and to certainly go with the word anyone who knows better than I do. Generally when...
I think it's very interesting to read what people have posted here. What is your avatar? It's a ball with a squiggly line. What's the story behind your avatar? I opened Paint and made shapes!...

I can think of few things more rewarding than holding the materialized culmination of an inwardly held vision in one's hand.
I do experience a strong desire to connect deeply with others and yet I'm also aware of how that can feel like an intrusion on my internal space after a while. I'm also aware that in that space where...
No worries. :) I'm actually frustrated with myself because I feel like I can't get my thoughts and language clear right now. I find I'm also really having comprehension problems which I'm still...
I don't disagree with what you've said overall. I do think that the overall cultural system is dysfunctional, that people are set up to compete to have value, but I admit that I'm confused by a...
People who are hypocrites. People who are more invested in their biases than in seeing other perspectives or on becoming educated about issues. People who put ego ahead of education. Enough. Enough....
I think I can understand some people's frustration with this issue, but there seems to be a lot to reflect on regarding this matter of special snowflake syndrome. Something that might be...
I would be more than happy to share. :) I'll make it a reward goal for getting my work done for this month. Yes. I know my energy around the relationship right now feels and comes off as very...
Hey there, yellow car. Here's the thing . . . if other people have to pull off the road to prevent a head-on collision, you didn't have time to pass. In fact, passing a line of multiple cars on a...
One of my favourite ways to meet people in college and university has been to participate in activities I'm interested in. The benefit is that there's already the base of a shared interest in the...
Hey itchaskitch, that sounds like a really exhausting and frustrating situation you're involved in. I can only imagine how difficult it could be to be experiencing these events in relationships with...
Marvelous. I'll definitely have to look into this when I'm done my work for the week. It very much was. It intersected well with an area of experience. This is a question with a...
Hm. I'm not sure I would necessarily define my experience with my girlfriend as not staying on topic, but more as conducting herself in a direction not conducive to the completion of her task. She...
Today I was helping my girlfriend (ENFP) with something, and I started to feel the difference in her way of processing ideas as opposed to my own. This came about as I was trying to explain something...
I'm not sure I really ever remember being a child much. I know that I very much was when I was very, very young -- about 3 or 4 years old -- but I don't really remember that lasting for very long. We...
I felt kind of lost in regards to understanding and knowing myself when I was in my 20s. At 30 I found that's not so much the case. Some things I still work to try to understand better, but not...
Assuming that what I'm thinking of refers to Fe and Ti, then no, I don't see those things as conflicting, but rather as balancing. For some reason I'm picturing the idea of a covalent bond (as a...
I think that Gatsby would be a difficult character to type generally because a significant aspect of Gatsby is surrounded by the question, who is Gatsby? Gatsby is a character of masks and...
Hey. I thought I'd just drop a link to a website here. There is a section about mono/poly relationships. More Than Two | Polyamory Resources and Guidelines by Franklin Veaux. I've also found some...
I'm trying to think of how I understand this. I don't guarantee this will be in any way correct or necessarily coherent. I think the way I see it is more building with things that come from Ni or...
You sound so much like my partner. I've referenced him in the past as ISTP based on an MBTI assessment he did a few years ago in a career development program, but it always felt wrong and, having...
First of all, I want to say congratulations. I've been proposed to, but it's not a particularly romantic story by any conventional standards, and was rather reflective of the entire pattern of our...
I think this is a very interesting idea. I write a lot of poetry, though now I've reached a point where I find I'm able to sustain and complete prose writing, and I've started completing short...
As much as I try to learn about relationships and communication, as much as I try to learn about people, I am always failing horribly because of how impossibly complicated relationships and people...
It depends on who I'm around. I think a hypothetical conversation with my partner illustrates this well. Me: *says something to a clerk really quietly and shyly* Partner: What was that? Me: What...
I secretly love performance metrics. (I used to get excited little tingles at my old job from tracking our hour by hour sales goals, and our daily and weekly performance targets. Currently, I get...
I think the idea of looking at loops is interesting. I think I understand the general idea of the difference between Ni/Fe interplay and Fi/Ne interplay, but I seem to be seeing it sort of this way:...
I have totally not done this none of the time. (Because I do this every time to every one.) *** Not sure if this can be generalized to INFJ, but this is basically every conversation I have. ...
In my head, I associate people to colours and objects.
I think of grief as being full and depression as being empty. Grief is a visitor who comes uninvited and who can't be turned away at the door. It must be fed, and cared for, made comfortable....
Lumielisa, I admit, sometimes thorough is all I can offer. :blushed: lol What I mean is that I don't have any real wisdom, or insight, or assistance to share; I just have my experiences, and...
@Lumielisa, I want to say that I appreciate your openness here. I find myself feeling so much understanding and experiencing so many similarities, and they bring a bubble of thoughts and feelings to...
After a period of stress or difficulty, what things do you like to do to heal and recharge? What is the effectiveness? Any reflections on how or why these work for you? Does it take a long time to...
I . . . don't know how I feel. I'm not always great at returning messages. I know sometimes I'm just in my private space and don't want to be bothered, so I turn off my cell/computer/etc. in order...
As an expression of emotion, intimacy, and trust? Yes. For its own sake? Can't do it without emotions, which contradicts with the actual drive. There's also the bashfulness to consider. (Though...
1.) Is there something that you've always wanted to do or have been interested in? Broadly, specifically, a journey, creation, vocation, etc? I think the two things that have been with me longest...
Hm. I personally think a lot of people struggle with emotions, generally, especially difficult ones. I don't see the world as a place where there is a high enough regard for emotional intelligence or...
I want to say thank you for the responses here. The input has given me some things to reflect on. Yes. I apologize for being vague. I can't go into much detail as some things here are quite...
Seeking some input. I'm in a situation right now where, after some careful examination, I find I need to loosen my emotional attachment to someone I've cared for deeply. I understand the...
Hm. In terms of my family? I don't have the best relationship with my family, and the mood at home can be unpredictable, so I only really get in touch on special days (birthdays, holidays) or when...'
