'Hello there. It's 4:50 in the morning here as I type this sentence. I'm reading the Naruto manga since my brother is fond of that series and wants to share his excitement of it with me. It's a...
I don't like the way this thread is turning...well, I'll give you my opinion on this regardless. I can understand how you feel though. Most people that you interact with will expect you to be a...
First of all, welcome to the forums. I know what you're talking about. I'm also a really big idealist, but I think that's because of my living conditions (shut-in on disability and so on). I've...
I saw that you are in Poland and tried to look up your education system, it seems to be a bit similar to ours, as in you can study in something specific right away. You have a lot of time to think...
I understand what you mean, my interest in science is pretty broad without any kind of strong preferences, although I do like physics quite a bit. It does involve a lot of memorizing though, which...
It's alright to be overwhelmed at the beginning. I'm only just starting to get used to the whole foruming stuff and just posting without reading what I typed down 50 times or something like that....
You won't die from heart disease at 18. I can understand how you feel though, I felt the same way quite a few times. The heart's a strong thing, it can survive breaking :kitteh:
Oh dear. Well, first of all, I'd tell you not to let that prevent you from learning what you can about the world out there, even if you might come across some unsavory things. I've known about...
Mmmmm, those kind of people do make us want to keyboard smash. I'll simply say the same as everyone else in this thread. It's admirable of you to gather the forces and lead them, even if it was...
A truly fascinating story. I've been thinking about it and all of its implications for half an hour now. I live a pretty isolated lifestyle and I can feel like I can understand how he feels like....
Hello there. Are you a fan of astronomy? I love your avatar, astronomy has been a big interest of mine for a very long time. I felt the same you did when I signed up, you get used to this stuff...
Practical identification is difficult without a proper test sample. If you don't have people around you that are willing to submit to proper testing, then it'll be hard to get practical knowledge on...
Extroverts talk. Introverts listen. If all human interactions were like this our news channels would be a lot less depressing.
In this case, I have a quote that's been taught to me a long time ago. I try to do my best to follow it, regardless of what happens. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Or The...
I think it's a question of simply taking your time so you can find out where your happy medium is. It takes awhile to figure it out. Being really introverted, receiving that much attention can be...
Welcome to the forums Lucas. I've known a few people with types similar to mine (INFP/INFJ) that seem to be into code. For some reason I can't get into it although it would be something really...
Yes, this is a good one. Feelings you get for items that are useful. You feel bad when they end up being thrown away. Also when talking, you use the I feel that x , it's been mentioned before. ...
Hello. Your name is almost the same as mine lol. I don't think you need to worry too much about it. I'm french so english isn't my native language and I'm sure I probably did a few mistakes, but...
Hmmm. It's true that being sensitive shouldn't put you down into a depressive state. There's something else that could explain what you're dealing with. It's a condition that I'm dealing with as well...
If you have a trigger to these episodes, then I wonder if you might not be highly sensitive like me. I'm not as stable as you but I do notice that if I get in a really terrible mood, there's a...
Hey there, welcome~ You read a lot of books about the subject. Are you a speed reader? That's something I hope to teach myself to do with time. Devouring books at lightning fast speeds would be so...
It's normal to feel a bit overwhelmed when you see all of these different post format things, like Italics, Bold or Underline but once you get used to the website, you'll be able to figure it all...
I'm in the same boat. Mentally ill, lonely, ect. If I had a solution, I would tell you. But you aren't alone (in that situation), maybe that can make you feel a bit better.
Welcome to the forums. I joined due to similar circumstances, breakup and all. It helped me a good deal to learn a bit about myself and see more of the world, since you get a bit of tunnel vision...
Your story reminds me of my own, especially with the person that called you out. In my case, I was that person but I never called them out on it. They were simply better at manipulation, just as...
Oh geez, all of the people saying french...and I'm a native french speaker, although from Canada. Canadian french is a bit different in terms of accent and vocabulary (although for the vocabulary...
Ryxis I doubt you'd get an answer to your query. This thread is a year old.
Welcome! This is a very warm and welcoming place. Take your time, I'm sure you'll be comfortable in no time.
Well, you are right when you say that we're usually really reserved. We feel things very strongly. I believe a lot of our type can also be highly sensitive people and emotions can easily overwhelm...
You shouldn't be looking for love. Look for friendship and let it lead you wherever it might go. Looking for love puts you in this convoluted universe of desire, expectations and search for the...
EDLC has a brilliant idea. The only issue is your sister, like you said. I've met people of asian descent before with similar family problems. Kind of makes me feel iffy about asian parents now,...
1 billion would be nice for security. I wouldn't need to worry about running out of money, since what I want isn't going to be found in luxury or frivolous spending. Good people is where its at,...
I also have an issue with people that use tough love. I can see it being applied, but the term does contain the word love. It takes a lot of finesse to administer tough love in a proper way. There...
What makes anyone strong. The courage to be who you are. The conviction to trust in your judgement. The knowledge to know the right path. And wisdom, for balance. Also, you can be made of...
Clyme hit the nail on the head. Stress and distress can make it difficult to get anything inside of you, to the point that it can make you feel ill. I had instances where I wasn't able to eat at all...
I've actually initiated conversation with a lot of people here and each time it went well. I was surprised by how nice people are here, it's really something else. If you feel that you can talk to...
It's always good to get a check up, maybe not from a mental health center but just a doctor. From what you described, there doesn't seem to be much going on, except maybe some low mood and you...
True, idealism is also the capacity to see what people could be. I think that's actually the main description for it. But seeing in someone what they could be can make us forget what they truly are,...
It's horribly low. I'm working on it though. I realize that my low self-esteem can push people away. It's understandable though, especially if you're stubborn when it comes to hating yourself.
That's the thing with personality theory, sometimes it'll just confuse you even more. It is only a theory after all, so it might not work in certain cases. Emotional states can also alter your...
Hello there, welcome! I bumped into the same situation as you. I had some tests tell me I'm INTP, and others telling me I'm INFP. I definitely identify with INFP more though, mostly due to why...
I'm a highly sensitive person. Always have been, since I was a kid. Being a male, it was always a source of awkwardness, to say the least. I didn't have much support in terms of expressing my depth...
Constant low mood and mood swings at times too. It is depression when it lasts more than 2 weeks I believe (no, you aren't depressed because you have a bad day). It can come with anxiety too....
Explorer. I shall explore Earth (for myself mostly lol) and then space. Being enthralled by the thrill of discovery is something that appeals to me a lot.
Hello there. That's interesting. I also identify with the INFP-INTP thing too. I can have my rational moments (I need them to study math and the like anyway lol) but I'm certainly more on the...
I had a run in recently with what people might consider a flaw in our type. Maybe that's why they would say that we're the worst... Idealism and optimism mostly, especially when it comes to a...
There's nothing that comes to mind when it comes to questions. There's a niche for women like you, that I know (knew someone like that, don't know if she went into that field, but she could have). ...
I'd suggest the same thing as Scarab I have a book on speed reading and I can see it improving your desire to read, since it improves speed AND comprehension. It's a bit boring if you read...
I think depression and anxiety shields me from that type of thing at times due to the emotional stunting/apathy. However, I know what you're talking about. You might be interested in reading about...
I can assure you that you're far from the only one having that kind of issue, if you want to call it an issue that is. I don't have any kind of preference to anything, it depends on my mood mostly,...'
