'Yes. I have battled depression for years, and it's not uncommon for me to wake up depressed and thinking about suicide. I don't think it's more prevalent in one personality type than another,...
Hello! I am back after several years. I had been pretty active on here, and sort of drifted away. But I am back! Let's chat and be friends.
Yes, this is me... when I'm detached. We're both 4w5/5w4/9w1... Maybe it's just inherent to our type?
Sometimes I feel like the world around me isn't real. It can be fun sometimes. I remember in class, in college, I would sit through a lecture and go into my own little world. I'd take bits of the...
I, too, have been listening to music forever. I listen to music that represents my mood...it's an empathetic comfort. Happy, sad, relaxed. Anyway, here's my music. It's all guitar stuff. Sean...
I'm a Leo, year of the rat. Haven't looked into astrology in years, but I am interested to know more...
depression, anxiety. no meds.
I like classical music. Some of it being newer classical, some minimalism, but I also like Bach, Satie, Debussy. Some of the Spanish classical composers. Even Mahler. That said, I also like...
Tiago Sousa - Pendulo (The whole album, Insonia, is very very good. You can hear it on his label's website and buy it on LP if you're into vinyl.
Ok, more prose. The Dwellers In the darkness we live. We thrive where few could, on what few could thrive. To break the silence, a flick of an eyebrow, the sad eyes in the night, a tear falls,...
Hehe...I like to cook, some people seem to like my cooking. And it's fun to do. Maybe I'm good. I dunno. But I eat it, and like it.
Yeah, usually people prefer one eye to another, and use it more than using both, if they have an astigmatism. So one eye is then called lazy. And your theory IS coming true!!
you see an INTP in an INFP forum, looking, and wanting to pick a fight...and start to type something in response to one of his ignorant statements, but know you'll end up getting into a fight that...
YES! So very very true....
English is my native language. But I speak German, and a little Latin. I can understand (or get the gist of, anyway) French and Dutch eBay auctions though if I really try.
Well...if you have them on the computer, you could upload them on photobucket. Or you could send them through AIM. Thanks for the compliments too! *blush*
I love what I feel when I see your photos.
That reminds me of what I did in high school. I would escape people during lunch by going into the library (the old one, the circulation side which nobody ever entered), and sit, reading. I'll...
Nick Drake - River Man
I vote for hurt, embarrassed, free and relieved.
Welcome to the cafe, fellow INFP. And a photographer as well. Do you have a flickr account? Amelie's a great movie, too, by the way. Enjoy your stay here!
Greetings, fellow INFP. Welcome to the cafe.
Welcome to the cafe! The forums will definitely help you learn more about both Myers-Briggs and the Enneagram.
And... I've wondered if that was really him, too! The Enneagram deserves more love...
Hello Caro. Welcome to the cafe! It's neat that you're a literature professor. Of course you have me curious about the reading material now!
you go into a forum where there's a hot debate and have a serious, strong point to throw into it, then think about people's reactions and possibly making it into a brawl, on top of the possibility of...
:/ It's ok, some people need certain things, I suppose. I've heard that where the actual health aspect comes in is in kinds of fats and proteins. Your daughter could be craving something else...
Yeah, I have a lazy eye as well. So add me to the count
Bob Dylan - Not Dark Yet
Respect is important though. I respect people's religious beliefs. Everyone can believe what they want, and it's a personal decision. I'm with Conscious and don't like the exploitation of religion...
Eating veggies and drinking Silk.
I say S's. T's I can deal with individually, but I think S's have the feeling that I'm somehow deficient.
Yeah...I wish they did. I care about my friends a lot, and am always there for them. However, when I need someone, they're not always there. It makes me wonder why I care, and then I think about...
I was raised as a carnivore, basically from me living in the South. But I did finally move away from land animals and poultry, and now the only meat I eat is fish (though I don't eat fish every day,...
He looks down, watching over me (he's on my bookcase by my bed). He smiles when I'm happy, he consoles me when I'm sad. For many years, he would come down on my bed and sleep with me at night. He...
Yes! Hehe...
Ok, I'm not an INTP, but...I once had a cactus. It wasn't next to my computer. I took care of it, watered it very rarely like you're supposed to. I had this fondness for it, and it was tall and...
Hmm...it's not as clear cut. I love nature, and believe in its forces, but don't specifically follow any actual religious belief. If there is a god, I believe that (s)he is different from us, and...
Hehe...someone's got to do it! I'm playing banjo, because I have a broken string on my guitar x_x. It's soooo loud, I'm not used to it!
:( yeah. It's easier for me to consider someone my friend, based on a connection that I found by looking for one. But I still crave one that is huge and very deeply felt.
I hope you do. Naps are amazing stress-relievers. Sleep well.
Yeah, I don't use notes either, normally. I'm less comfortable when I do use them, and less comfortable when I really rehearse, like some other people here. I seem to do better just winging it,...
Oh yes. Well, toward the end of our friendship (we're currently not talking), I believe I was trying to subconsciously show him the other side too, because he was seeing the thinking side. It's...
Oh no! It gives me more reason to not want to be a therapist! Ack...
For me, when I did it, it wasn't about the rules or anything either. It was the idea that I actually did that to someone.
Ohh...I imagine flying too. Sometimes I'm walking alone, and I feel a breeze. I stick out my arms, and imagine I'm being lifted by it.
Goodnight all. May each of you drift into pleasant other realities where the unbelievable is achievable, and return to this one refreshed.
I was walking on the beach with a friend, and she had a baby jellyfish in her hand. I thought of myself as the jellyfish, imagining the feeling of something really large picking me up out of...
When I'm sad, I sit in the darkness and listen to music that validates my sadness. I guess people can say that it's wallowing in it. But sometimes, I try to pull myself out of it, distract myself.
plan. out alone on darkened streets with broken shadows: come for me. empty promises, broken connections-- all that's left'
