I would consider myself an optimist, but at the same time, a realist. It's possibly a way of looking at the world, a paradigm of sorts, but I normally expect for and strive to see the best in people...
Welcome! Hope you enjoy your time here!
ISFJ: We could totally make this work. Me: Sorry, but you don't fit the requirements. You are old, but you're not on your death bed, or rich. ISFJ: Well... Me: *shrugs shoulders*
I think that the mindfulness movement will be the next religion
I think it depends on the situation. Most of the time, I'll keep on trying until I succeed, because I don't like failing. Sometimes I become a bit paranoid and may actively avoid situations in...

There seems to be a general consensus that those who talk without engaging the other person in conversation are very tiring. I have a friend like this who I don't see that often for this reason. ...
I have a friend who always wants to go to the mall and I tag along b/c I know it's what she likes. I only go shopping when I need new clothing and prefer to go alone, as I have time to look at what...
Hahaha! Thanks! I guess I know I'm pretty awesome. Like you said, we're our own worst enemies! My self criticism (lately in any case) seems to be confirmed by outside sources (albeit, in general,...
Am I the only INTJ with low self esteem?
It depends for me. There are people who have impacted my life and whom I care about but with whom I no longer have a relationship, so sometimes I'm overcome by intense emotions that ebb off. It's...
How do you act when you are nervous? Depends on the situation (I am apparently a nervous person by nature) x96 I become antsy and have some tics (like tapping my finger or something like that). I´ll...
I'm outgoing and can be loud (in the right environment of course). I really enjoy dancing! :)
So, I did some research: Personalities Can Indeed Change Over Time | Psych Central News Is it possible to change your personality type? | 16 Personality Types Can you actually change your...
Well, I got into a graduate program and I can tell you one thing - my GRE scores are NOT what got me accepted to the program (I was applying to a literature program and my math score was better than...

To me it makes sense - I mean, when you consider what they're saying in the article, it's true - people who go to college tend to have an air about them that their better than others because they...
I would say I'm a loner - I don't really make a whole lot of effort to be in touch with people and have about 2 or 3 people I consider close friends, the rest are friends/acquaintances that I speak...
My sister tested as an INFJ (I know it's not the same as mom, but hey, almost!) and I'm pretty sure my mom is an F, but not 100% sure. I think the best way to approach the matter would to be coming...
Nice to meet you! Welcome! :)
My personal idea about time: Time doesn't exist, therefore time travel is a vain pursuit. I believe in the multiverse. Here's an interesting article I came across (I know it's a bit dated,...
I would be a musician, a jazz musician to be exact.
I used to go to a salsa club pretty frequently (they did a mix of bachata, merengue and salsa with some cumbia mixed in there somewhere). I've fallen off the bandwagon, but when it's me and my son...
That said, I know I'll never be content, but I think that the feeling of contentment would be nice just once.

I wouldn't consider what I'm doing a career, more like that thing I'm doing while I put the pieces of my life back together and figure out what it is I really want to do. Before my current position,...
Nikorasu Chan - Thanks for the link! Very cool! I think that procrastination is a way in which our mind subconsciously figures stuff out while we're engaged in menial tasks (errr... productive...
Welcome to the forums! Hope you enjoy your time here! :)
I have a close friend who thinks I'm an ENFP - I think it may be because I empathize with her and she's a bit narcissistic, so she tends to project herself on me a bit (she's an INFP). I have...
1. I don't like being touched by people I don't know. At all. I also don't like it when people use pet names with me when I don't know them. It makes me feel uncomfortable. That said, when it's...
thescientist - I have an INFP girl-friend. Our relationship dynamic is interesting as I can tell that she gets offended by certain things and attitudes that I have. For this reason, I don't always...
Hypathia - lol! I forgot the word for the spice ginger in English the other day and could only remember it in Spanish (while I was explaining a recipe to a friend)... So funny.
Reasons procrastination is a good thing: The Benefits of Procrastinating
Hypathia - in your original post, you stated that we wouldn't be able to move. If we have robotic bodies or exact replications, that would probably make me more likely to stick around a bit longer. ...
I procrastinate all the time... I get too caught up in what I'm thinking about doing to actually do it. And then come the fears of instability induced by taking action, which is always possible......
Hypathia, I get your point about wanting to see the future and stuff, but part of me just doesn't want to. I guess, due to my own projections of what will actually happen to the human race, I don't...
In terms of gift giving, I definitely try to find something that the other person will appreciate a lot. The whole point of giving a gift to someone is to show them that you listen to them and care...
I've lived with a lot of different people. Currently I'm living with someone who wants to be my friend but I don't necessarily esteem her (I mean, how can you NOT understand why the toilet is...

Mikros - exactly. I don't hold grudges or stay angry at people, although once someone has violated my trust, it's not likely they'll win it back easily. I think that frustrations occur on a...
I'm pretty introspective and try to go back to a basis that I have about myself. Sometimes I'll even make a list of attributes that I identify with myself. If I find that I'm lacking in any of...
Hypathia - you're absolutely right. I guess I classify myself as thinking like a man because I find that my style of thought is, in many ways, different from the culturally accepted mode of female...
Haha, this is pretty cool. I guess my next question would be: Do you think that this is something that is particular to any one MBTI type? I have an INFP friend who admitted to going through the...
Yeah, sometimes my thought patterns make me wonder if I shouldn't have been born male. I struggle with my gender orientation - I just don't feel completely female all the time. That said, I don't...
Same here, it's more about understanding myself than trying to understand other people. I have friends who are really in to the personality typing and we talk about it and it has helped me to...
detgfrsh I think that gifts may be the only common denominator, possibly because they are inconsequential to head types - I mean, we do live in our heads a bit more, so stuff isn't going to be...
Just curious if anybody else here experiences the OMG, I really like this song! thing where you listen to the same song for weeks on end. It happens to me a lot with songs that resonate with me. ...'
