'I think you're assuming I didn't want honesty. It sucks sometimes, but yes, I do. It could be that I'm reading your tone wrong as being rude and exasperated -- if my post annoyed you, why bother to...

Spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic toast, especially if it's in a greasy spoon and the garlic bread is Texas toast.

I know that the conditions in nail salons are horrible, and yet I got fake French tips and keep going back for fills and fresh gel polish coats because it gives me a mild mood boost. I'm not sure if...

Ugh. After three years, I'm at the point where my boyfriend and I might break up. He is an ISTJ and is genuinely a great guy, but my chronic illness is getting worse and it seems like things are...

It seemed like things were going well with me and my ISTJ boyfriend, but now things have reached a crossroad and I'm trying to address this in a way that would be fair to both of us. The short...

441034 I bought a Christmas bush at Walmart. The tag just said it was a European Tree, which sounds kind of vague. I'm washing off its glitter and hoping I don't accidentally kill it somehow....

The ISTJ boyfriend on my tendency to annoy him in a variety of ways at once, while stroking my hair: It's like playing whack-a-mole, except instead of a mole, it's you bouncing up and cackling...

On whether or not he would go to see a movie that was really good despite having an embarrassing title: I'm not seeing a movie called 'Schmoopie' under any circumstances. Me: What if it was a...

I just completed a horrified marathon read of this book: At the Dark End of the Street If you guys have spare time, please read this. As a woman of color, I have never been more aware of how much of...

Cheap thrill Sunday: I found this weird bird claw brooch that I am pretending is either haunted, or the Scottish equivalent of a monkey's paw. Thank you, God, for eBay. You guys, I know this seems...

LOL, this explains why there's a significant portion of men that are off hunting Bigfoot, aliens, what have you in forests and swamps.

On my tendency to forget actual people's names who I have met only once or a few times, yet remember who was in the cast of some 80's horror movie (back when special effects took effort): *sigh* You...

My dad is an INTP, and hanging out with him is mellow, snide bliss for the most part. We peacefully coexist, like the same kind of music (I got him interested in metal), movies, and books. The main...

Re: the snake: that's legit. My thinking is, she was born and raised in captivity as it is, though I guess you could say that letting her loose so that she could survive in nature somehow would serve...

#1, though I've been toughened up by growing up in a really snide family to some extent. Also, I'm somewhat cluttered.

Honestly, this is just something that generally works with guys across the board: don't ignore him exactly, be nice, but pull back. Do other stuff. Pretend you're not annoyed, even if you are. He...

I like fairly low-maintenance, independent pets; I've held snakes before, and watched them cruise around, so I guess a lot of it would mostly be watching her interact with the environment and...

Ohhhh. Yeah, I'm not psyched about reproducing, even hypothetically. But I guess I'll keep dropping in and see if any sweeping romances go down. 409138

Me too. I was thinking about what would be the best kind of environment to build for her, when I can afford to. The one I have my eye on is a female albino milk snake, pictured below: 408906 ...

I suck all the cheese powder off of cheetos before chewing and eating them, because I'm disgusting.

How many of you own snakes, and have created entertaining vivariums for them?

I wouldn't feel that bad about posting something shallow once in awhile. Lipstick, and indeed makeup and fashion in general, is a valid form of self-expression, as long as it doesn't turn into some...

and awkward. So, if I'm already in a relationship, but would be cool with having a platonic netflix and beer/cider hangout with other INFPs, does that count, or is this strictly a mating thread?

I'm cool with it, though mostly since I aged. When I was younger, I wanted to be less emotional than I am and be more like Agent Scully, but I've finally had to accept that I'm not.

That would be my worst nightmare. People in general are gross, dumb, and they hide things in crevices I don't want to be responsible for patting down. I enjoy watching Cops on tv, but actually...

Yep. This is usually if I think the other person is way too dangerous and/or crazy to warrant discussing with them what they did that pissed me off, and I'm hoping they take the hint and leave me the...

I didn't mean to imply that it ALWAYS sucks, because sometimes people tell you interesting things and you may genuinely enjoy having a brief conversation with someone. But there are those people that...

If a friend disagrees with my values, I try to hear them out to see what their reasoning is. Maybe they have that point of view because their life has turned out differently than mine, which is...

I've been thinking seriously about getting a milk snake for the past two months or so, specifically a female one that lives in a pet store in my city. Nobody has bought her, and she's a beautiful...

You're not evil, but I have had to do this as part of my job in the past, and I can promise you, it kind of blows from the service person's perspective as well. I always felt like a giant phony, and...

Why is the family unit falling apart all over the world? Arguably, this has always been the case; people have always had trouble with other people, and things in families can get really intense....

407730 YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I just got a perfect score on my exam and am gloating like that kid in class that all the other kids hate. Hopefully this doesn't result...

Yeah, he knows about the cat, which I have had since 2007 or so, and he knows I want a snake. We're still negotiating.

I got an A on a paper in my Law and Health Care class, which was a miracle because I procrastinated until the last minute and guessed my way through after some frantic Googling. My boyfriend: I'm...

Pet peeves? Loud, abrasive people Smug Christians/highly religious people with persecution complexes Nails like this: 407242 People who hover in public restrooms When people interrupt me...

Idk, this is one of those things where I probably would have been kind of weirded out myself. However, like other posters have said, not all Ns are like that.

Idk. From what I've known of your type (I've known three or so INTJs personally in my life), I would say you're better off without the drama of networking skills. What I've found helpful about...

The most recent one, somewhat, but he is also an ISTJ German-American and hard to read in general unless you watch his expressions carefully. For awhile, I had a streak of manic depressive boyfriends...

:) I knew I could rely on someone to get the magical thinking ball rolling. Thank you!

Out of the 14 jobs to which I have applied today, I am most excited about the part-time Budtender position. I know nothing about pot, but am psyched because I may not have to wear business casual...'
