'What are your interests and hobbies? Philosophy, sports, travel, internet, television What kind of food do you eat? Everything, not fussy. I try to get a lot of healthy unprocessed foods, but...
I completely understand what you're saying. And having a ... fluid identity never used to bother me. But, I'm not sure if it's conducive to happiness or not. Temporary harmony and relief? -...
When I younger, I felt like I wanted to be a person that has a lot of partners (16/17). Then, I went kind of nuts from about 18 - 24. Now I'm ashamed of how many I've had, especially considering some...
Interesting, what do you think distinguishes emotions and feelings? I tend to use them interchangeably.
Yep, you get it. I'm beginning to think it's unhealthier to continually fake, as for starters it's exhausting as we've said - but I also think it begins to make your real feelings harder to recognize...
Haha. I actually did double take that as it looked a bit wrong, but decided to leave it in.
I think everyone fakes feelings to a certain extent. Social niceties etc. But I've been reflecting on how I do it, and I think it's exhausting me, and making me stupider. It's almost like a...
Good post. Getting laid with someone you actually like solves most problems! and nice to see one of my INTP brothers found a beautiful ENFP to love him! Obviously we could be totally different, but...
Thanks. But I think the problem is finding value. Everything seems to end in nihilism. This being the case, I look to emotions. I value happiness - and by extension I value positive relationships and...
I'll try to keep this reasonably short and not overly self-involved, but it may come across that way. Anyway, I have a great deal of anxiety and paranoia, and I think it relates to my identity....
It's pretty much impossible to separate cultural influences from biology. I mean, you can argue things like men have more testosterone etc ... but you'll find that the extra testosterone manifests in...
Men are kind of in a bind. We are, in many ways encouraged and rewarded by society to embrace our animal instincts (sports, business, love [most women tend to like a guy that's passionate] but on the...
I can kind of relate. I was a pretty talkative, outgoing child. This lasted until around age 16. Conversation then was like catching a ball, for those that are good at sports. It's just instinct. You...
Well, you can set up a tautology where everything is pointless, making both feeling and thinking equally useless. But I think the idea is not that we should stop thinking, but that thinking has...
x93Where am I, or what? From what causes do I derive my existence, and to what condition shall I return? ... I am confounded with all these questions, and begin to fancy myself in the most deplorable...
Happy with the NTP, the I is a downer but I'm coming to terms with it.
I just lack focus. So many things vying for my attention. Once I get started, I can still feel a desire to stop and do something else in the background. Every now and then I really get in the zone,...
But saying there are no absolutes is an absolute in itself :O!!!111
Absolutely.
Writes thesis on antidisestabishmentarianism, can't work out where to hand it in.
Schopenhauer Cure. Fictional story centred around addiction, Schopenhauers' pessemism, buddhism and group therapy.
Yep, if I'm new somewhere my sense of direction is pretty bad. Eg I'll go to a bathroom where I've had to take a few turns & sometimes I'll walk out facing the wrong direction. I think it's the...
Just turned 25. I can say that at the moment I'm trying to reconcile my emotions with my tried and true approach of (at least attempted) detached objectivity. I think this is common for people like...
I'm horrible at guessing types but I'll take a stab - both probably ISxJ's. I get along with Dad now that I don't live with him, mostly via sports. Otherwise we'd have little in common. Very...
It's not what I thought it would be as a child, but it's probably worth persisting with anyway.
Love it! Reality has its ups and downs, but the dreamworld is always bliss for me. No anxiety, no problems, no stress ... ahhhhh yeah.
If there's a page or two I'll read first. If there's more and I really wanna say something I'll just dive in ... then read the thread ... then normally find that what I've said has not only already...
Growing up I valued athletics and sports over thinking. This normally brings you in contact with sensors and extroverts. These kind of people were my friends growing up, and have continued to be....
Sounds like a typical corny fb post. Anyway .. I guess you could say it's suggesting a person needs some basic maxims in place which they can use to judge whether something is right/wrong, true or...
Getting home with no cars in the driveway is relieving, not dissapointing. You live with others and they're often in their rooms, doors closed - you don't think they're unfriendly, you think it's...
Everything is luck
It's just wrong/that's just wrong (making a moral judgement). Man I hate when people do that.
I make poor choices. Gamble stupid amounts, sleep with strange women, say thoughtless things. Behaviour that I always beat myself up over the next day when I think it over. God it's fun in the...
I'm nice when someone approaches me - as in I'll smile, help, genuinely listen to what they're saying even if I'm not interested etc. Otherwise I think I come off as very aloof. I generally don't...
I think it's more important that you see it as absolutely wrong.
I've noticed this too. It's really frustrating. You can call them out on it but like you say, you'll just get a look of bemusement/puzzlement and they'll go on with the same behaviour. I don't know...
Done
I can't dance, but am pretty co-ordinated otherwise. I like contact and ball sports (no homo) which seems a little atypical for INTP.
I usually just wear normal stuff, i.e jeans and a long sleeved top/coat in winter, shorts and a T-shirt in summer. No logos. But then I have my bad days where I just don't care, and I'll go out to...
Lol'd at the living room. The way you describe it sounds very Epicurean, I like it.
I think it's probably more the drug than the personality type. Ecstacy is awesome for pretty much everyone. I normally hate that suff (raves, festivals), but give me a decent pill & I'll dance all...
When someone shows (in a tactful way, without being robotic and closed minded about it) that they've clearly considered and thought about something deeply it makes me really like them. General...
Introverts can't break down my walls and I can't break down theirs. Neither person wants to invest a lot early on, neither person wants to look/feel needy and attached so we end up just not talking....
I agree that societal pressures shape INTP females to be more feely and relationship oriented. The same could be said for INTP guys that grew up in a more popular kind of crowd that values...
I never thought of it as an INTP trait, but I can add that I'm very vain.
I think ENTP's are both charismatic and thoughtful, and it's the type I'd like to be, so my vote goes there.
Sorry if there is a specific forum for this. In a nutshell - she is quite social, has a lot of facebook friends and seems to enjoy (or at least presents herself as) enjoying group activities....
Exercise, exercise, exercise
Avatar. I tend to go from looking vacant with dead or confused eyes to big bright smiles, not much in between.
Love this description.'
