'Here is the best advice I can give you, as I have dealt with this myself: For a period of time, cease eating dairy (milk, products with milk, cheese, etc), because dairy increases mucus...
Because I consider myself to be a part of the whole body of humanity, I could not just choose being a great person, because it would be like someone pointing to a detached eye and saying, Look...
Take your breath away... hmm... I'll allow Brahms the honor: YouTube - Brahms Symphony No.3 Poco Allegretto To me, this piece is draped in genius, and breathes the fragrances of a heart's...
Hey, Im sorry to hear about your depression, and I understand that you don't want to feel like a zombie by taking meds. I hope you can find a good solution, and conquer winter! I really don't...
I get this. I am always in depression but it takes on many different behavioral modes. Oftentimes I am just so out of it that I cannot think clearly or do much of anything useful. During those...
Scarygirl, May I ask, are there things that you are afraid of that drive you from stability? I am sorry to hear of your distresses and pain, but just remember, it isn't your lot, and your pain...
Haha, that's great! The mowing thing reminds me a great deal of my INTJ friend. I truly wish I had the capacity to do this sort of thing, but I lack the ability to think of strings of clever words...
I think the overcoming part takes a combination of soul-searching and uncomfortable action. I'll use the analogy of the flat tire to look at how to overcome the loss of inspiration and lack of...
Loungefly, thanks for sharing that great story of conversion! I also used to be into drugs a lot for a few years, and I was in a perilous way of living, and though I'd been raised Christian, I was...
There are a lot of opinions shared in here, but I thought I'd add mine to it. I am a Christian, and I find spiritual fulfillment through a personal relationship with God, and my church is a place...
I Never Finish Projects! Except on rare occasions. Usually it helps to be working on the project with someone else, but I have dozens upon countless dozens of songs I have written that have not...
I like your post JerseyDevil. I'm glad that you have been able to gain that confidence. I must say, though, regarding the last part, that it's following my heart that usually gets me in trouble!
Well...I ascertain that you have a frequent desire to know what others think about you, but I think that you should give yourself permission to decide what you ultimately think and believe about...
Yeah, I feel powerless quite often, but I'm trying to change that. I think that because we are INFPs and we are affected so much by our introverted feeling, that causes us to want to do things our...
Why have you lost your passion for art? Are you sure you've lost the passion, if it's just current untapped? I find the arts fulfilling, both music and photography in particular. Since you enjoy...
Punky, I really am sorry that I upset you. My intentions were good, and I was hoping what I had to say would be helpful. Simply because I stated things that I did with certainty does not mean I...
Punky and Aero, I read through your posts about trying to understand your types and cognitive functions. I don't know if you read my posts or not, but you might find them helpful. Part of what...
Yeah, I lucid dream, but not at all like I used to where I would lucid dream every night, almost to the point where it became wearisome to have so many in a row (but I didn't really mind)! Hmm, my...
I really don't like make-up. Sometimes I am just baffled why women do such strange things to their faces. Here is how I see this: I do not have a problem with women wearing make-up as long as...
Again, a group has much higher plasticity in hierarchal roles than cognitive functions, so it's hard to give a perfect comparison here, but I am reminded of the movie Ocean's 12, the movie about the...
(Post-edit: Faeriegal, I just read your post and I relate with you totally! I am mesmerized with how real and potent feelings are in dreams and how they affect everything in the dream, and even...
Cognitive Function test reliability Exactly. That is another reason why that test is so unreliable. Whoever came up with the wordings for the questions was not very careful to avoid complications...
Well, we INFPs are quite a capricious bunch. But I'm still here! I haven't lost confidence in the MBTI system, in fact, I have found greater use for it, mostly in the understanding of cognitive...
I'd like to share some input on this dual-type idea: You can't really be two types. You can, however, exhibit the behaviors of multiple types, but the behaviors themselves do not mean that you...
I have known about that site for awhile, and I really like it, but at the same time it irritates me, partly for the same reason as Rowingineden shared. There is a lot of information there, much of...
#1. The earth has hurtled through space 25 times around the sun since I emerged from the womb. #2. It has been determined that I belong to the male gender classification. #3. I absolutely do...
My parents separated when I was 3, and I lived with my Mom after that. I saw my Dad once a year until I was 11, and I haven't seen him since. Upon visiting him when I was 11, he was somewhat...
Very well put. If our lives were only continual joy, I wonder how it could even really be joy. Same with faith. How can faith be real if we are never presented with anything that challenges our...
What do you mean? Consider the suggestion I just gave: You shouldn't underestimate your intelligence. And also, don't underestimate the insistence of your Fi to quickly dissolve possibilities...
I understand that part about holding on to things too tightly. Apparently it is a common trait of INFPs to sometimes focus on the unreachable because of its allure, and in my case it is the past...
Our heart is like our body in that when our body is in pain, it means something caused it, and there is a desire to fix it, and a need to fix it. The desire doesn't always lead to meeting the need. ...
I think this song meets your description, though it isn't an emo band, the song is pretty emo(tional). It has a message of deliverance, refuge, and overcoming. :) ...
What do you mean when you ask for help? If it is comfort you seek, I can tell you that you will find your way through any confusion you may have, and that neither your nor your Fi is defective, but...
I respect and sometimes envy the INTJs for their frequently ambitious intellects that combines with a pleasing eccentricity. I admire the ENFJs for how well they are able to socialize with and...
Oh, I forgot to mention...there is a certain kind of epiphany I experience sometimes, humorous ones, which I call epifunnies :) ...which can also be further translated epic funnies. I tend to...
Hi! I have epiphanies. Here is when I have them: 1. In the shower. The water rinses off unimportant thoughts, and I get nice shiny epiphanies aplenty. 2. After I tuck myself in at night. ...
Response to Infrared: Interesting that you mentioned this, because last year I came across copper toxicity on the internet at this site ( COPPER TOXICITY SYNDROME ) and copper toxicity seemed to...
Faeriegal, that is a wonderful thing to do. I have a special frequency in my heart for those with mental disorders, because I have experienced it myself, and I know how the isolation effect can take...
I'm worried that by the time I find a wife, I'll have gone sterile. But if I'm more fortunate than that, I would want to have a family. We'd live in a cozy country home, in soft, rolling foothills...
Snail: I'm just taking a guess that you might like this song, though I didn't see your list in the other thread yet... BT - 1.618. It's 11 minutes, and the video is an equal part of the...
Infrared, you are wonderful! I appreciate all of the effort you have offered toward this. I will respond in full either later this evening, or tomorrow, because I have a meeting to get to in a...
Wouldn't that be the same as sitting in front of a computer monitor while doing something else? I've done that, playing guitar, etc. I get the same effect, though not quite as bad. It is worst...
I understand your skepticism plenty well, however, there is no doubt that the effects are directly from electromagnetic field activity. There is plenty of research done that evidences this, it is...
I appreciate your response. I don't know whether epilepsy applies here or not. I don't have any motor or psychic seizure activity occasioned by exposure to screens, nor any perceptual changes. ...
Have you considered Conductor as a career option? You may be shocked at how natural you'd be. Your performances would be electric!
Visuanalysis. Visual - Whether it's creating a picture in my mind of the information, or having an illustrative component in front of me as a medium for learning, I nearly always require some...
I relate to a lot of the responses so far. My response here is a combination of things that I TRY to do to heal myself and things that actually heal me: Piano/guitar composition: Sometimes I'm...
Over the past few years I have had an increased sensitivity to electromagnetic fields produced by various devices. I didn't realize it at first until it got so bad the past year or so that I started...
By the way, I agree with everything Faeriegal and JerseyDevil said...the principles in what they shared have shown themselves true in my experience. It did enter my mind that this might be the...
I mainly read non-fiction books with an informational/science/art/psychology slant. I've never actually gotten into fiction books for some reason. I mean, I find some of it very fascinating...it's...'
