MBTI

Mediator

Diplomats INFP

Poetic, kind and altruistic people, always eager to help a good cause.

'Fuck Just fuck Enjambments and Fucks

I would laugh if they made INFP day and it became cynical, exploitative and consumerist like every other holiday.

Unbridled rage.

Me too... I wrote and deleted several things thinking but what if THIS happened. It's fun to pretend and imagine though.

If you had 30 minutes unlimited power to recreate the world, what would be most pressing to you? I would heal all bodily afflictions, and undo the ravages to nature caused by industrialization. I...

I don't know... this is one of my deepest fears.

Ancient philosophy is the most fascinating. Back then, pretty much every subject that we now call science and humanities fell under the domain of philosophy. As we progress in knowledge, it seems an...

I agree that being alive is a temporary problem and that permanent solutions are better than temporary ones.

I'm curious what the four other sections are. Yes of course I am a special snowflake.

Like Mee2 said, I think guilt plays a huge role in most suicides. Do you experience guilt very seldom? Self hate is part of it, but the main thing I think is self *blame*. Suicidal people feel...

I've had suicidal ideation for over a decade now. It comes from being acutely aware that my presence is detrimental to the happiness of anyone who cares for me in any way. The more I care about...

I too spout and believe platitudes when I am feeling better. When in the gutter, they only sound like accusations. You would feel better if you only didn't choose to feel like shit. Thanks.

I had the same experience as you (bolded part). That's the most sinister thing about psychiatry. The patient is assumed to be unable to make sane assessments/decisions, and the doctor is assumed to...

I think the greatest misconception about depression is that it is equal to great sadness. For me, depression is the inability to feel anything except dread. There is a total absence of hope. It...

Relative to the rest of the internet, yes. I'm careful though to avoid saying things that give people an in to push my buttons. I've had deeply negative experiences in the past that make me cautious...

Just read the forum... feelings of alienation and worthlessness run rampant. I wouldn't be surprised if suicide rates are high among INFP.

double post oops

I think it's dangerous to frame it in the context of MBTI. Doing so may poison future relationships. I would say her actions are a result of the darker side of human nature. Understanding that is...

I've thought of becoming a monastic as well. If you read literature from the past, that used to be a perfectly valid, respectable, even admirable thing to do. I don't know when we lost respect for...

I don't believe in it much either but it helps to pinpoint why. We should be equally on our guard against tests that give flattering results.

I hate how people misuse the words logic and rational. You can use facts all you want and do it in a completely illogical manner. Being crude, insensitive and unpersuasive could just as easily...

Wow thanks for the in depth rundown. I guess I should share my score: 83. Some of the questions I have a hard time seeing how they would correlate to narcissism. Things such as: I tend to see...

Interesting article. I think I score pretty high on the narcissist thing. I only have a vague idea of what narcissism actually is, ie extreme self absorption or self love? I wonder how the rest of...

I think I get what you mean. It feels better to help others succeed than succeed yourself? I find that depression demands action. If you think and worry, even if it's seemingly for other people, it...

I've struggled with suicidality and feelings of worthlessness. The only thing that gives me any sense of meaning and self worth is helping others. Give volunteering a try. If nothing else, at least...

It's hard to single out just one experience. The album OK Computer can transport me to another world when I'm in the right mood. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oyixl_MqlDc

I tend to be attracted to people who are damaged or outcasts. After being burned and disappointed over the years now I try to keep my distance. I definitely see myself as damaged goods though, so it...

27 Problems Only Introverts Will Understand Definitely relate to almost all of it. Gave me a good laugh too.

Thanks for the response. It's so interesting to me that we have complete reversed opinions on the two movies. Much of what you said about the Matrix is what I felt when watching Inception. Will check...

I can't understand all this talk of Inception having depth. Like all of Chris Nolan's movies, it has the illusion of depth due to its moodiness and stylized visuals/sound. In the end, the characters...

Cool.. I'd like the link if someone has it. Might get on camera if I feel comfortable.

Is it required to be on camera?

Since I feel very different from most people, I haven't been on the receiving end of much empathy, because empathy requires understanding. For this reason I think my empathy for others has slowly...

Seems to be a common trend right now for Psychology to appropriate ideas from Eastern religions and sell them like it's something new.

@Somniorum Yup first game I've been excited about in years. I hope they can rekindle the magic since so many of the old devs are board.

Planescape: Torment. By the end you really care about your character and his companions. Yet there is a feeling that they are all going to some tragic end. The dialogue is incredibly good. Everyone...

The phone strips you to your voice and nothing else. That is intimidating to someone who's always told speak up, talk louder I can't hear you, why are you so quiet? At least in person, some...

The stream flows swiftly as Golden light shoots from the sun. The bullet's hardly left the gun Before is becomes was. Take the dry stick from the shore; Throw it in the waters swift. Just...

I end up arguing with myself and getting paranoid and exhausted if I engage too long in a polarizing discussion. I only jump in in the first place if it matters to me emotionally, and I often feel...

And yet the ancient tree is listening; It sighs a mournful whisper to the wind.

Brightly like the yellow yolk Extracted from the broken shell -

I relate though I hate to admit it. All I can say is hold on to that yearning for love. You will regret it if it dies. Also, attraction is a physical thing. I don't mean just sexual, but being...

I'm all for more precise language, and the phrase 'reality orientations' makes me cringe. This is a pretty strong statement and I don't see it developed at all in the two paragraphs given. I...

I agree with the bolded part. When you're happy and thriving, I think you probably want to be out there enjoying it instead of talking about it on an online forum. When you're miserable and alone,...

I hate these what if <sadistic scenario> questions. You can say ahead of time yeah if a guy put gun in my face I'd dodge and grab it from him but you don't know how you'll feel when you are...

I'm treading dangerous ground saying this, but I dropped out of highschool and got GED, and I remember a thread on here awhile ago where there were a surprising number of people that did the same....
