'I'm so worn out with grad school and work. Every day I think about giving up. So hard to get out of bed every morning. I hate being such a downer, usually, but it's all my days have consisted of...

Of course I know he's his own person, and I certainly don't want to go changing him or forcing him to do anything. I guess I just don't like the constant criticism and negativity. Not everything has...

I've been a little down lately after my slow realization that my ENTP (sometimes tested as J) boyfriend just doesn't share the same passion that I have for people. I'd hate to compare, but my past...

Yeah, my dad tends to be very adventurous. He's always finding new things to do or new things to buy when he gets bored (which is very easily). To be honest, the fighting and the throwing sounds like...

Interesting. I don't know as much about typing as others do, but I will say my dad is an ISTP (and my mom is an ESFJ, weird), and unlike me, he'll typically have a more objective stance rather than...

Something about how putting emotion on the backburner is kind of hard to do. :P

Sage Francis is amazing! And artists under the label he was once under are pretty amazing too. Buck65 is really good. Why? is a good band. Also Sole and Dosh. I've recently been getting into a lot of...

I had a surprisingly good day today where I actually felt like my unhindered self. Turns out, growing a pair and being selfish sometimes is a good thing.

Oh god, this is getting hilarious. Hitting so close to home. :tongue:

I just went up to my dad, said Hey, there's this personality theory, take this test. Now he's totally into it, and it's helped him to understand his ISTP self. I just guessed my mom might be an...

I'd have to say Dostoevsky and Charles Dickens, because I love their styles of writing. Also my grandmother for publishing two books and reading nearly a book a day.

Hello, Aphorist! Watch Instantly on Netflix is the best thing that's ever happened to me, ha. And I envy your mathematical ability. Welcome aboard! I'm new too. :)

I really, really appreciate the concern, Matchbook. It's great to hear from someone with the same experience. Those three times have honestly affected my mind in a very bittersweet way, and I've...

Hello, Bogie! I like the sound of your name. :tongue: Welcome to the boards!

I've always wondered if it had some relation. Hahaha! That's really creepy sounding. (And you should totally do it anyway! What's going to happen in an empty lot? :P ) Edit: and I don't...

I passed the writing test as well and my permit's expired once already. You hit it dead on the spot: I'm SO afraid I'm going to be unfocused and hit someone. I've actually already backed into a car...

I can have about two days of alone time before I go stir crazy and yearn for social interaction. I really do value alone time and privacy though.

I enjoy it tremendously. But I've had three severe panic attacks about a year back so I tone it down a lot. I take small hits now and I'm gradually doing it more. I think my brain would say that weed...

So, I feel really lame and moochy right now. I'm twenty and one of the only people I know my age who doesn't *legally* drive yet. I know how to drive very well, and have driven many times, but I'm...

I don't know what I would like to do in my future. I feel kind of lost in that aspect, but I do know that I want to run a non-profit organization of some sort on the side. But even then, I still...

Thanks for the welcomes jojo and jasonm!

Elliott Smith is genius to me. Sadly he was very depressing and many are turned off by that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcnHjjLdNXQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lnHybH_I6Q ...

I've never typed as anything different, but F has typically been my weakest preference. I've found over the years, that my inferior Te is more developed, so the closest I've been to testing as...

I've found that my life revolves around love too. I've been very lucky enough to have (fairly) healthy relationships so my hopeless romantic side can take a nap while I focus on other things. When...

Refugee says it best. Do not repress them. Find some way healthy of relief. Writing, painting, and basic meditation help me. I get overwhelmed with strong emotions, but you have to learn to live with...

Guess I'll just have to act on an impulse, get up and do it one day! :tongue:

It is very fascinating. Even though it's not necessarily a positive thing, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who does this. Ohh, interesting. What exactly is EMDR? I've heard of it in a...

When I get discouraged, I stay away from whatever it is for just a little bit. I try to look for humor in it, and remember why I'm doing what I do. It's usually all your perception of the situation....

Really? Man, I need to build up some more confidence for that. Maybe it's just the singing part. The last time I sung on stage, there was VERY apparent anxiety in my voice! How did you do it?...

You're so organized and self-disciplined! :laughing: Wow, you really LOVE doing karaoke in front of all those people. HA! Going to have to agree with this.

To OP: That looks SO comfortable. When I'm at my house, or when I'm just hanging around with no real plans, I'll dress to be comfortable. But sometimes when I'm out in public, I get bored of the...

Yes, sometimes I place myself right back in very traumatic or strong, meaningful memories, and I will feel as if it were happening in the present. I like to do it, though. It's kind of... cathartic...

Good thing that Cafebot was there to help. I'm new too. Am I still allowed to welcome you? :tongue:

I'm twenty, but people think I look younger (genetics all the way) and act older. :)

Are you a student in college? I've got a part time job as a student employee on campus. Maybe your campus has job postings for student employees? The ones on my campus are (mostly) typical office...

I love cats, but I'm slowly becoming more of a dog person because they're so outwardly loving. My kitten is seemingly soulless and ungrateful sometimes. But, of course, I'm only joking! She is...

I think they were both funny. It's easier just to remember that these are commercials, and that it's not an idea we're really running with in society. Now if they were being serious, that's a...

I'm dating an ENTP, and he thinks I'm too kind to others. On the other hand, at times I think he's too harsh. I've taught him to be more compassionate for others, which he's grateful for. In return,...

Thanks, everyone. :)

That's awesome! Not really, I'm insanely indecisive. I'm not into clinical psych, but I may do something along the lines of starting a community program. Something more along the lines of social...

I found this place while looking for another personality forum I used to visit. I haven't really been on a message board in a few years so forgive me for any future forum-fouls! :unsure: I'm...'
