'You end the holiday season with a stress rash. From socializing with your relatives.
You'd be in a better mood, maybe, if you'd gotten your hands on the illegal kind (made, preferably, by an *old* moonshiner... i.e. someone who has survived fifty years of their personal home-brew)....
Sometimes younger INTJs are like this. Sometimes older ones are like this too, but have better control over the flow. Part of it, I think is not being able to express oneself effectively. If you...
[QUOTE=SuperSoaker;4435152]I usually just say that doesn't make sense, I think it's like this and they give a couple of different possibilities and then hit wikipedia on their smartphone and then...
Ti is fine as long as you communicate your postulates, and the Ti-user has a handle on theirs. Most of the disagreements I've had with the XNTP had to do with unclear definitions at the start. Well,...
When you need someone to embrace the vision, but could use some help with armature.
Today I spent half an hour talking to my rosemary plant. It listened attentively, and then responded by making the common area smell pleasant. I have found the perfect conversationalist.
Damagedfinger I'm sure he's fine--they seemed to like each other a lot. Just, you know, that first step (or maybe second) into a wider world can be a doozy.
At the coffee-shop this morning, there was a high-school couple eating breakfast. Boy: ...so, this guy, he's so much like you. It's like he's the male version of you. Girl: I don't think he's...
Op-ed section?
It really depends on what you think prehistoric life was like, doesn't it? If it's people living and co-operating in small communities in order to survive, then an INFJ or two comes in handy,...
They are a useful tool for aggregating and deploying resources, and an unavoidable component of the current economic environment. Left unchecked, corporations can do a lot of damage--but the...
So, you should break up with her, yes?
Water. If I could be on a bender--I would be drinking gin.
I think working with ISTJs isn't so difficult, as long as you can win the ISTJ's respect. Which one does by being diligent and even-handed. Then, even if the way the two of you look at things is...
I think I do alright at this. You don't have to be normal to get along with significant subset of the population--as long as you manage not to be a jerk by some bare minimum standard, most people...
For a really good maniacal laugh, you should use your diaphragm to support the column air running up through your throat. Make sure you expand your vocal chords for resonance, and work on breath...
Left hand?
Saw the bitter results of an ENTP/ENFP face-off today. Butthurt for everyone, so much butthurt.
I think I'd be lonely if I lived alone. I like knowing there's human being, or five, in the same space as me. It kind of works with the introversion, for me, because I can socialize without...
I was drinking and reading Benedict Andersen's Imagined Communities for class. After looking at some interesting non-traditional architecture for a break, INFJ roommate caught me staring into...
ENTP: Can I see your computer? INTJ: Meh? ENTP: You wanted Python on here, right? INTJ: Meh. ENTP: *opens browser* So, here is Anaconda... *downloads* INTJ: Meh-meh. ENTP: Ok, and now......
Ah god, this paper is going to be late, potential reference. Please continue to see something worthwhile in me. You have no idea how badly I need your potential support. I've been sleeping three...
Other. Because what is natural?
@Monkey Fritz I'm not saying don't do it--I'm saying be smart about it. What a doctor *can* do is eliminate other possibilities, and do a quick check on any diet thing to make sure it's...
@luemb You're doing this under a doctor's supervision, right? Because some of those elimination diets aren't necessarily nutritionally complete. The bruises, dizziness, blurriness and tiredness...
With ISFP barista. Barista: You know what I want to see? INTJ: What? Barista: High school production of Rent. INTJ: God. Why? Barista: To see how much they cut. Like, do the high schoolers...
Snapple I dunno, man. The one she-ENFJ I know goes batshit whenever you prod at whatever narrative she's pushing at the moment.
Find a theory/hypothesis/argument they feel strongly about. Disagree. Use sarcasm. Solved.
Scorpio. I'm kind of into it, because I find the description flattering.
Could not find group members for the group project. So rather than lobbying for inclusion, and potentially free-riding off of others' work, I decided to do the whole thing myself. I should be...
INFJ: Intense concentration on which reusable grocery bag to use today INFP: Poor but furtive attempts to hide small-scale hallucinogen production from people who already know what the rice flour is...
ENFP, you must stop trying to help me. You must also stop trying to build a stronger connection than the one that exists already. At this point, I also feel like you may be playing a status game,...
When I dated ENFP, it was a lot of work. But it was a good kind of work, because it made me explore different aspects of myself. We both had to work, actually, in order to understand each other. I'd...
My love for Google Drive is real and unironic. As is my love for Google+, not for social networking, but for groupwork. Meetings are that much better when I can keep a little glass of whisky to...
Sometimes the emotional focus that comes along with a crush feels like a threat to me--because I can feel the pressure of the other person's expectations. Also true: I like to keep my private world...
Godspeed, all the bakers at dawn--may they all cut their thumbs... and bleed into their buns until they all melt away. I'm feeling a little alienated this year.
New INTP roommate is, in fact, a stealth INFJ.
Today I took a risk and revealed a weakness to a colleague--in the hopes that we can do some information sharing. I know that I am taking a methods class that he wants but couldn't fit into his...
Got into a fight with my dad about Lenin. Mostly predicated on the fact that I was reading What is to be done? (again. third time. I can never retain this particular work.) for class. As an example...
Consider introducing your male friends to your husband? Hang out together. Have a beer. If he knows them, would he be less likely to flip?
It sounds like he just needed to spout off, and you got caught in the cross-hairs. Bummer. If it's a situation that can't be fixed, and you've told him what the situation is and why it can't be...
INFP, you have to stop talking to me like you're speaking truth to power. I have no power, and I'm already all stocked up on truth. If I have to watch that damn Inequality in America video one...
GoodNiTe And suddenly: Soul Eater.
I don't know, man. INFJ tends to run kind of deep. There is a sense in which the ones I've known, because of the Ni-dom, are just as incomprehensible to me as INTJs can be to other people. Most INFJs...
Are your classes interesting and/or useful? Do you have at least one class that you like? Do that one first, and then use the momentum to push yourself forward. If none of them are good, can you...
You might ask, why don't you want to leave the house? Is he depressed? (sounds like depression to me) Has he had trouble finding pleasant social interaction, or finding enough reasonable people to...
Today, I asked ENTP about his childhood. In the one or two photos I've seen, he looks like a smug little ENTP. So I asked: INTJ: So. Were you a bit of a megalomaniac as a child? ENTP: Not really....
OMG WTF BRO My mum was also an INFP. She is probably the primary reason that I'm pretty adept with the Ti as well as the Te. I needed dat Ti if I was going to shut down all the Fi-Ne that was...
He's probably chuffed to be working with you, or maybe it's that he can trust you, and, having been burned, he's afraid to trust someone else? Would, I am almost done putting things in order,...'
