'Generally, people have difficulty admitting they are wrong. Thus, when they enter a debate and they encounter views that differ from their own, they will get defensive. Additionally, people often...
First of all, while I am assigned female at birth, I am actually nonbinary (particularly, I'm genderfluid and identify as male more often than not). That said, that means I have experienced the...
Being overwhelmed, pretty much. Also, depression.
My default emotion is apathy, but it used to be anxiety before I got therapy.
My only friend is most likely an ENFP. When they decide to interact with people, they act very bubbly and throw a whole bunch of random ideas at people. However, I have seen them being quiet...
I only have ever felt a fear of missing out when I felt like I was obligated to socialize with others even when I wanted to be alone. Other people thought my loner tendencies were a problem, so they...
As long as my emotions are not intense, I try to identify my emotions and analyze why I am feeling them. Often, I wonder if it was due to something from my (near or distant) past or due to some...
I am very emotional. Usually when I'm experiencing emotions, I tend to detach/dissociate from them, often to the point that I don't realize I'm feeling them (I have become more aware of this over...
Do not let people on social media dictate your thoughts. Refuse to be in an echo chamber. Disconnect most of the time. While you are not in the physical presence of a human being, social media...
The only time I have ever stopped thinking is when I have been staring at the ceiling for a few hours in bed and my brain attempts to shut off my thoughts to try to get me to sleep at once. I don't...
Man, I've gotten a lot more of that in response to current events. Usually, I just escape into my mind because most of the time, I have no choice but to be physically around people. Doesn't mean I...
For me, Ne is observing something from my environment and then making multiple connections between other things. For example, I will think about how it is similar to another thing, or imagine what...
I like ENxPs the most. I like how I can exchange ideas with them. Conversations tend to be scattered, but that's okay with me. Also, they seem to pull me out of my shell. INxJs probably come close...
I rarely drink coffee because I'm very sensitive to it. If I drink even a little bit, I become extremely excited and start bouncing off the walls. However, I occasionally use it when I have issues...
I used to have trouble saying no because of people around me who kept telling me Do this! or Do that!, which meant that it took me a long time to figure out that other people's opinions are no...
I like post-punk, gothic rock, new wave, classic rock, punk, classsical, and new age/Celtic. I like lyrics that are deep (and some would say depressing), as well as political lyrics. Also, I often...
I found it kind of odd that instead of socializing less like most people do when they are depressed, I socialize more. I guess it's an INTP thing. When I first got depressed, people thought I was...
38. INTP. Diagnosed with autism. What bugged me about the test was how it assumed that autistic people don't have an imagination or a sense of humor. Autistic children often just play differently...
I tend to see feelings as biochemical responses, and I tend to experience them as primarily physical feelings. Though when I was younger, I had alexithymia and felt like an emotionless robot despite...
Our mind is a web of memories that can be drawn on when needed. It is impossible to create something completely new. However, the ways these memories can be used together is infinite. Think of all...
I would say that mental illness does not affect type, but does affect cognitive functions. I find that when I have depression or chronic anxiety, I tend to get into a Ti-Si loop. Also, if I get into...
I'm not currently having recurring nightmares, but I used to have recurring nightmares of things like mirrors getting distorted in horrifying ways, being attacked by inanimate objects, or finding out...
I also played with ants when I was a kid. I dug up anthills, poked sticks into them, and squashed a lot of the ants.
Unless you are adopting, having a child is selfish because the decision is based on our instinct to pass on our DNA.
Tried to find an image of someone coming to comfort a person sitting alone. Failed and just saw a bunch of sad looking pictures of people sitting alone. Found the fact that all those pictures look...
If I respond like that, it usually either means I am not interested in the topic of conversation or the situation feels awkward and I'm hoping the response I'm giving would be okay.
I seem to be the only early bird here. Though there have been times when I am kept awake by racing thoughts, do not feel physically tired until late at night feeling VERY tired, and then either...
I would say my humor is absurdist. Also, I don't think the majority of people get a lot of my jokes because they tend to be about obscure concepts. At least I like doing wordplay. Everyone gets...
I get Ti-Si looped when I'm in a long period of depression. I keep ruminating and analyzing the past and decide to discard new ideas because they all seem fruitless.
I cry once or twice a week, sometimes more, because of a combination of depression and anger issues.
I would probably only follow the parts that make sense and then for the rest do life in the way that I think works the best for me. On the other hand, if it said Do all of what this manual says...
I have been diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and GAD. I also diagnosed myself with depression in the past, but I failed to get an official diagnosis of it because of shame, even though I had severe...
I got cyborg.
The only time I have ever felt certainty was when I was depressed and believed that things were truly as bad as I thought it was. Otherwise, I am never certain of anything. I often think for hours...
Usually I leave without saying anything because I don't know what else to do. The problem is, the only thing I was taught about being polite when I don't like something is Shut up and don't...
Oh God I HATE the American public school system! When I went to a public middle school, I was overwhelemed by the homework load. I also was often in a state of sensory overload due to the class...
I have five open. I can't really open much more than that or otherwise my computer would overheat.
We don't have free will. Our actions are controlled by the laws of physics, which we have no control over. I think it is more important to protect other people from a person's harmful actions than...
I often do not hesitate to correct authority figures if they are wrong or dispute what they said if I believe they could be wrong but am not very sure of it. Most of the ones I've come across so far...
I agree, overthinking makes things worse in social situations. I once was taught a social skills curriculum that was telling me to always think about other people (especially what they are thinking...
I don't find smiles attractive. During the rare times I have crushes on guys, it is because of nerdiness or nonconformist tendencies. Also, I actually have a tendency to smile when I'm stressed or...
It's not a crime to not want kids. In fact, I think it's better if there is a big chunk of people who don't want to have biological children. The world is overpopulated, so there should be a fraction...
I am asexual, and I would consider myself gray-romantic because while I can feel romantic attraction, I rarely do.
Most of what I do on Facebook is take a look at what BS a few idiotic pages have posted. Otherwise, I don't do much on it. Most of Facebook doesn't interest me. I have been using Tumblr, but I am...
I am definitely a morning person. I get up early and go to bed early. I function better in the morning, especially during the summer.
Every once in a while, I will wonder if I have psychic powers. And sometimes I will inexplicably freak out over everyday things that are not threatening at all, when I don't usually get freaked...
I agree with her philosophy in some ways, but I disagree with her conceptualization of consciousness. I think that our perceptions are distortions of what actually exists. Also, I don't think free...
I am by nature unconfrontational. For most of my life, I have not had the motivation to confront people. But because I have been experiencing discrimination for being autistic (and for being...
I am interested in physics. I am autistic, and that is my special interest (and speaking of being autistic, during the time I was falsifying type, I kept being told to stop acting autistic. Pretty...
I am very good at remembering facts, theories, and ideas, especially if I find them interesting. Often I will remember them after being exposed to them once or twice. I am good at remembering...'
