'I don't know exactly what kind of details you have trouble memorising, but I think my own sort of learning relies on seeing connections between pieces of information. Knowing why something is...
I think there are a lot of situations where this could be dangerous advice. If you haven't built good foundations, or done your stretches, or tied your laces, you might want to deal with that before...
I think we're on the same page: jealousy is a bad sign. I'm looking at jealous feelings as a sign that something's wrong within a relationship. Expectations and reality aren't lining up for one...
Like...I almost always keep the door open for the person behind me. If it's too long a distance and the person's going to have to run to catch it, then I'll keep moving (most of the time, but awkward...
a serenade for StaceofBass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxvVOgCUEEE
Reasonable means there is a reason for it. It's understandable. It makes sense that people would feel that way. I'm not saying it can't grow to be toxic (and I said immediately afterwards that the...
In a totally idealistic sense, I get what you're saying. You want the best for the people you love. You want them to be happy. But in reality, relationships are about a mutual fulfilment of needs. It...
I'm not saying the jealousy is justified, but I think possessive feelings are natural. People get jealous when they see their crush paying someone else more attention than them, even though they know...
While I think monogamy by default is an unnatural way to approach relationships, especially while they're young...I think being in an open relationship can really tear people apart. I think you have...
I don't think monogamy's for me. A little while ago, my (probably INTP) boyfriend of two or three months proposed that we take a break. I was saddened by it, obviously, because I really liked him,...
I still side much, much more heavily with the INTP description and function stacking. Since childhood, I've always been heavily analytical. I thrive on receiving new information and experiences, but...
I haven't tested myself in a while and this time I took a version of the test I hadn't tried before. As I was answering it, it didn't feel like obvious black-or-white preference questions, which I...
I think, as a society, we should be past this question already. Anything can be art. Not all art requires craftsmanship or high concept or skill or talent or vision. That's not to say that all art is...
I am too full of guilt and lust.
I get a kick out of some gory stuff - part of it is the morbid aspect, another part is the weird satisfaction from seeing squishy, bloody textures and whatnot. Real life gore can be kind of upsetting...
So we're on a break. I very desperately need to know what exactly this means for my sex life. :rolleyes:
upset because my boyfriend looks better in my dresses than me not at all upset because I have a boyfriend who'll wear my dresses ehehehehehehheheheeeeheehehehee To be clear, he was...
I'm feeling kind of strange and anxious about my current relationship - it's going very smoothly and we're having a lot of fun, but (both being, I suspect, INTPs) we've gone about the whole thing in...
I don't have a whole load of dating experience - my first boyfriend was an INFP and, while we had fun together and shared a lot of interests, I think we clashed on a fundamental level. We didn't last...
I finally properly got together with the boy I liked that liked me and we spent all last night hanging out and making out and being really cute and I have spent all day on a cloud :kitteh:
so there's this guy who likes me and I like him and we're so very close to properly getting together but he's about to do an art project that involves sealing himself off from society in a nuclear...
Sometimes I think about a person so much that photographs of their face intimidate me.
I could have a different definition of cool from the people immediately surrounding me but, like I said, I suppose my idea of what's cool is informed by some group of people somewhere. In saying...
I think women are especially under pressure to be attractive and presentable to get heard (note: I am not in the mood to argue about how guys are under pressure too - like, if you're thinking about...
1. Unsolicited flirtiness creeps me out. Like, maybe you can come across as entertaining if you're smooth and witty or whatever, but when guys are being totally full-on without you so much as looking...
A couple of months ago, my ex informed me that somebody ~liked~ me. I hadn't spoken to the guy all that much and so didn't know how to feel about the whole thing. I didn't do anything about it beyond...
I'm not into mind games and I'm not sadistic, but I kind of love talking myself down in front of a guy who likes me then watching him trip up over himself trying to give me a compliment. It's not...
Yesterday was my 18th birthday. The events of the party could probably span several confession posts. I'm expecting a phone call from my mother in about 20 minutes for a post-birthday catch up....
I think I'm going to stop smoking but...I'm not sure. I've been smoking regularly for just over week (after getting a friend to buy me tobacco and teach me how to roll) and, like, it's enjoyable, and...
I have a friend who's decided to change her name. Not an actual legal change, and nothing drastically different from her real name - just a nickname she'd prefer to go by. Part of the reason for...
I would probably feel uncomfortable in the situations you listed, but I'm totally at home performing on a stage. Maybe it's because I know I can do it well, or because acting/performing provides some...
I'm Scottish. It's fucking mandatory.
You just need to find an appreciative audience. I'm lucky enough to have made a friend who is endlessly entertained by my verbosity (the entertainment factor always being upped with the inclusion of...
I can relate to being infatuated, and I think inferior Fe might contribute to the length of time INTPs can tolerate it. I think I can be ignorant of any negative effect a one-sided infatuation might...
It's difficult to answer without having personally...witnessed anyone getting an erection during a mass spoon. It's certainly inappropriate when all involved spoons want to keep things platonic, but...
...I suppose it depends where you are in the spoon hierarchy? It probably wouldn't be the only awkward sexual interaction happening. That's not excusing it, just...no, NO, I do not want to get...
After a long period of not really connecting with anyone around me, I'm noticing...that I'm actually getting into conversations...meeting new like-minded people with relative...

Last time I was drunk - i.e. last night - I was involved in a platonic 5-way spoon. As the biggest spoon, I was pretty intimate with someone's elbows and a wall. There are ups and downs.
That doesn't necessarily sound romantic in a wants this to be a proper relationship way. It sounds like how you might act towards a good friend if you also happened to be sleeping with them. I...
There's a girl on my course - or rather, a woman - who's been at various art schools for various specialisms, attended multiple portfolio courses and workshops, worked in different fields, even...
I took myself on a coffee date today (coffee and a book but somewhere that isn't my bedroom) and spent some time inadvertently eavesdropping on the couple next to me who, by the sound of it, met...
You know you're an INTP when you shoot on a film camera...so nobody can take it and look through your photos. There are other reasons but, for me, that's an inordinately big selling point.
Proper answer: I see expiration dates as a suggestion. If I see something is approaching/past its expiration date, I'll more thoroughly inspect it for signs of inedibility, but if it...
Today I managed to give four of my coursemates suggestions on artists/ideas to consider in relation to their individual projects. It's almost as if I'm...constantly learning and growing my knowledge...
Oh, hey, this houmous expires on my birthday! Huh. That...that's a really gross birthday present.
I smoked weed for the first time last night but didn't feel very much at all (whether I was inhaling incorrectly or just not responding, I don't know) and, in a rare turn of events, I didn't have a...
I'm an INTP and an art student, so I sure hope that combination can work. I've always needed to be creative in some capacity and it was something that my parents/teachers nurtured and encouraged,...
Last night in the pub, my INFP ex tried to lecture me about developing empathy. Ha. Haha. Hahahahhahahhahahaha. I wasn't sure if he wasn't getting the humorous irony in my clinical dissection...
I've done drunk/hungover grocery shops more often than I feel is acceptable. Y'know, on the way home from the pub or the flat I crashed in...saves a trip, right? Those poor cashiers. I usually...'
