'I feel for you, brother ! There are some terrible effects from these psychiatric drugs. If you do some research on mass killings, you'll see that usually the person who did those acts was taking a...
Oh great . . . . another future jerk in the medical field who thinks he is God (unlike the patients 'below' him) because he spent all his life in school. Too bad (for you) that you typed how you...
When I was a child, Big Pharma and the psych whores hadnt invented ADHD yet.
Lets see . . . . after additional training, that qualifies one as a waiter or a bartender. Yes, this may seem 'brutal' to some . . . . but perhaps it'll prevent someone else from wasting precious...
O.K. - - - as one who has 'been around the block' for awhile (there's advantages and disadvantages to having more life's experience - if only you could 'put an old head on a young body') - - - here's...
I write this as only a little bit of friendly advice from a neutral third party with no stake in the outcome - - - It doesn't really matter what you believe in this regard, does it ? What matters is...
There was nothing particularly pessimistic about my post. -- But if youre looking for a more satisfying experience, at 22 you may try dating women a few years older than you. Perhaps they will have...
Do a little bit of research on the subject of corn syrup and how it is used in so many foods today. Similarly, look at the impact of so called 'low fat' foods on obesity. The meals typically served...
We sometimes place too much of a burden on other people, expecting them to meet all our needs. As an INTJ (roughly) 98-99% of the people out there are going to be different than you are. The best...
I could be wrong, but the OP doesnt sound like it was written by an INTJ
Is college worth it ? For some. Study something that'll pay. If going to college today, I'd choose an engineering field that hasn't been offshored. Pick the right engineering field and you can...
Check out geophysics. Know that you'll need a grad degree in most science fields to make a living, even a Phd. If you want to work with a 4 year degree - check geoengineering, mining engineering,...
# 11 - - - the b*stards offshored our industry overseas, so many of the good jobs are gone forever. They even used U.S. taxpayer dollars to move some of the factories to China. Corporate profits and...
IMO I'd pursue something that would enable me to make a decent living after I completed the program. That ain't an undergrad psychology degree. Be glad you have a passion and talent in hard...
Few humanities programs in American universities today teach critical thinking skills. They are places of politiically correct indoctrination. Any study of the attitudes of professors at such...
Well, this is a sad state of affairs. The economy is in wretched shape. . . . and its going to get worse . . . much worse. Unfortunately, young people, their parents, and 'teachers' seem to be...
Yes . . . most college degrees are worthless today. IMO if you put out the money to get one, make sure it pays. Study something that will enable you to make a living. That said, you don't need...
The 'healthcare' system isnt designed to improve. Its designed to make money. - - - You may not know this, but back in the 1960s people were able to pay for their own healthcare out of pocket. It was...
I learned waaaayyy back many decades ago . . . that grades don't mean squat. No one cares in the real world. Ive also met a few straight A students . . . and none of them had an original thought in...
This is a rather old, and ho-hum line of inquiry and I wasn't going to reply at all. But . . . what the heck. First of all, one should be clear on their definitions (and the OP wasn't). What do you...
I'm always amazed at those who ask questions . . . and then dont like it when they get truthful answers. If they were looking for something else, an INTJ forum isn't the place to find it. We tend...
I can't address the OP's situation . . . there's not enough info. In general, I ignore others when I'm deeply focused on a project or task which takes all my energy and attention. or . . . when...
I have no problem with truthful criticism . . . . that's based on critical thinking. I welcome it because it may help me evaluate my own position and point out personal blind spots. There have...
Intellectual laziness and cowardice - - - drives me up the wall. I can't stand it when someone is presented with the facts and all the logical arguments . . . and they just stand there with a...
Know that your father loves you. His actions, though perhaps mistaken, are from out of that love. He's worried about you and is concerned about what he sees as 'unsocial' thus 'unhealthy' behavior....
All I do is deal with reality. I see time spent on t.v., video games, and other such diverisions as a complete waste of time and productive energy. Find something worth thinking about and doing.
Not a political/economic forum - but this might be useful for people & flows naturally from this conversation: Rule by the Rich by Paul Craig Roberts on Creators.com - A Syndicate Of Talent ...
Poker play . . . . mainly Texas Hold'em. Yeah pardner . . . . that'll usually do it :cool: math & strategic thinking skills . . . . coolness under pressure . . . . reading people . . . . . ...
Well I really don't want to get deeply into these topics on this forum. There are other forums that deal with some of these issues, and it sounds like you guys have been doing some research on that....
I'm not nerdy. I'm curious about a lot of things . . but prefer that which is useful. Have little use for computer games, or many other games (though Poker is my favorite). I'm an excellent public...
Thanks GenericUser. What you wrote makes sense. Best regards, - -
Thanks guys for your comments. - - - Maybe I'll just have to lay back a little regarding my aunt as has been suggested. I guess it bugs me alot because these damned salesmen were selling her crap...
Thank you for your comments GenericUser. They are appreciated. Perhaps I'm totally off the mark, but it is my impression that facts & figures and long range planning aren't the strongest areas for...
whatever floats your boat . . . . . but if you took 100 straight, normal testosterone level, healthy successful guys under the age of 90 . . . and told them that there was this attractive, smart,...
Try drinking out of glass bottles.
hotspur - That was a bit of a ramble, but did it make sense? If it were me, I would stick to my original commitment and have a fun time at the movie. I'd tell the new friend that I would love to be...
Hello everyone. I'm an INTJ. My background is in finance & economics. I work as a trader. - - Well, indications are that the global economy is in very poor shape & its going to get much worse. I have...
MelissaC - - - what can one say ? A guy complaining at having available a willing & eager woman to play with together in bed . . . because he doesnt want to be a sexual boy toy ? What the hells wrong...
I think everyone has provided some good ideas. It would be productive to use this time to think about what you really like to do, and to research that. I'll add another perspective - - - as...
LOL - - just try being a finance/economics major with a minor in computer science (who started out in engineering) Trying to come up with much of anything from all those chemistry & physics...
Ligtening actually travels from ground to sky, not the other way around. (Read that somewhere, but don't have the time or inclination to look it up right now) I think Metaplanar has covered the...
Hi MelissaC - now that youve mentioned that youve had sex together, that complicates and changes the situation quite abit. I've been in stressful situations that created an energized environment and...
Hi MelissaC- - - this sounds like a powerful working partnership, especially in the high stress situations that you deal with at work. In the ER when people's lives are on the line, you & your...
I purposely have never dated an INTJ woman. Previously, I didnt think of it in MBTI terms - but more in terms of occupations and the type of personalities that would most likely be found within them....
I'm pretty good at balancing things now (after many mistakes over the years) - - - but when my logical/analytical/rational aspect is inappropriately in overdrive - talking to me isn't the most...
Yes I've done skydiving, extreme mountain biking, and all sorts of such activities (usually up in the mountains). I like that these activities require you to know exactly what youre doing. I also...
Hi theorem - - - I think I added a couple of paragraphs after your last reply, so you might want to check them out in my post before this one. All the best, - - -
I asked the topic, because I've found that there are subjects where logic is valid & useful, and other topics where it is not. Emotions are never wrong. A person may feel 'sad', 'angry', or whatever....
Can you give us a better idea of the topic of discussion ?
Like an earlier poster - - I prefer Go. And I much prefer Poker. I'm not really into games, though. Very rarely play them. - - - I'm a trader, and prefer to put that level of focus & time into...'
