'That made me chuckle because I just got done explaining this to someone. Great post JB Nobody.
I'm just going to give the same basic advice. Get out and do something. Learn a new skill, try a new activity. It makes life more interesting and it naturally gives you something to talk about. ...
That was extremely helpful. Thank you. It makes more sense now. It also feels a bit dangerous. I'm prone to do my own thing anyway and enjoy blocking people's expectations but knowing this brings...
I normally do just leave it out there. This time just threw me off because his response was to call it cute. How is objective advice cute? But I do enjoy trying to figure people out. Social...
The other day I was talking to a friend and the following conversation happened: Him: So how would you deal with a situation where you feel like your best friends wife is doing something shady? ...
I've never had injuries from a wreck but I've been quite shaken up afterwards. I hit a tree one time when the roads were really snowy and I was trying to slow down to give the guy getting near my...
Volant pretty much said everything I was going to say. I also hardly ever plan trips and if I do, they're usually all about getting to the destination and then figuring out what to do when we get...
First, You sound like a great friend. You probably don't get the thanks you deserve for that. I think ISTPs would be hard to be friends with since we can have so much trouble with the feelings side...
Well, at least you got something out of it. that's really all you can hope for out of the internet. :) I hope you find someone worth your time soon. Just take this as a learning experience. I'm...
This is fun to watch. *munches popcorn* On a more relevant note, emadoe, what exactly were you wanting with this post? From my reading you were looking for an ISTP perspective on the very...
You scored 53.333 out of 100 masculine points, 45.833 out of 100 feminine points, and 50 out of 100 androgynous (neutral) points. Pretty smack dab in the middle. I'm biologically female.
I'd want nice hot showers to be available for free to me anywhere i am, complete with my favorite shampoo and soap. It would make hard traveling so much more enjoyable. Simple pleasures.
I was good at math (except algebra) but I hate it. Geometry and calculus were fun and statistics were interesting but I wouldn't want to do them all the time.
I met my boyfriend through Okcupid. We've been together about 1.5 years now. I looked for interesting people. He messaged me first because I said I love the book Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss....
1) I think ENFJs are amusing. So soft and cuddly... I appreciate the ability to walk up to a total stranger and make them feel comfortable enough to tell their life's story. It's such an alien...
My best friend and I climbed the great sand dunes in Colorado a few years ago. It was pure torture to get up there with the sand always shifting and having to stay on the crests of the dunes to make...
I love to make small, insignificant changes to things when I've seen one of the more OCD types have ordered them and watch the resulting freakout. Latest example: I was at a restaurant and noticed...
Yeah, you sound more extroverted based on what you've said. I'm in a job where we move about every 3 months to work in a client's building. That being said, I have no personal possessions in my...
1. It bothers me when people try to control others. Or pressure them to fit in their worldview. It's close-minded and oppressing. I'll fight back when that happens but I see less confident people...
:laughing: Yes, the stifling freedom is evil. I clearly told my guy that's a deal-breaker so he's usually not too bad about it. :) I appreciate the dependability of Judgers. Though, I think I...
No, he's an ENTJ. He shares your EN but the the thinking trait helps us communicate with each other. :) I'm sure a relationship with two Ps would be quite fun. :)
I tend to get in more trouble when tha happens becuse I get the urge to poke at them to see what reaction I'll get. And find it terribly amusing. Most people don't appreciate that. Especially F types.
For me trust is something that's built slowly. Anyone can be there a few times, it's the building proof that they really won't take the chance to hurt me and assurance they'll stick around even with...
I understand how it would seem that way but isn't it also insulting to have people lie to your face if they care nothing for you? Is it not better to part ways and let both parties live however they...
I'm pretty sure i would aim to be friends if I really liked the person. Liking a person= a desire to spend time with them. I trust my logic enough to maintain the friendship or, if something were to...
If he's still talking to you then there's a good chance that you're just over thinking this. I don't like being constantly attached to my phone or waiting around to talk to someone. It's very likely...
From what you've given, If it were me, that would have killed any thoughts of a relationship. But I don't know the whole situation. As you described it the response would make me question whether...
I was in sports and a lot of activities but didn't care to hang out with most of the people I played with. If I thought someone was interesting I'd do some things with them but usually I was by...
I'm not particularly against telling someone I love them, I just don't do it all the time. It means more if it's rare since the other person knows I'm not just giving a programed response. As...
I enjoy and am great at the dancing video games. I was one of those crazy DDR people in high school and I still like to play just dance. But, dance for the heck of it? No way.
One of my best friends is INTJ. We were roommates for a while and we got along splendidly. I find her extremely amusing/interesting/entertaining and she appreciates my flagrant disregard for what...
As others have said, it's not an outright rejection of the system just because. I think we get that reputation because we just do what we want, how we want. 'The system is usually illogical and a...
Good point. I agree with it.
Yeah, that's my first response to the idea too. The whole idea is illogical and an energy drain.
At a meeting I was at the other day one of the people made a comment that made me think about personality differences. He was telling some story and tried to use an example by saying like, I'm sure...
Yes. My mother used to make me write thank you notes after receiving gifts for Christmas or birthday. When I asked what to say because I could see absolutely no point to it she would tell me to write...
Wow, what do you say to them? I can usually play off anything someone says. To completely confuse them both sounds like an impressive ability.
You can always make giving money interesting. My favorite was when my grandparents wadded up about 20 $1 bills and mixed them in with a big box of random papers also wadded up. I had to sort through...
Anyway, back on topic: So I wanted to know how ISTPs if they were in charge would solve our day to day problems. Since we're so logic driven, these would probably be the most effective way to...
Malkovich, valid points, but if you don't have better ideas or are at least willing to bring up another topic what's the point of posting? I think if people participate we might get some...
Wow, there's a lot of shooting down ideas here. Not so many added ideas. Anyway, I like HOV lanes, they do double duty as they speed up traffic and encourage carpooling. What about the problem...
I can see that. Fortunately, they're usually too good-natured to really use their powers to oppress people. My mom is this type and, while I could see this happening sometimes, usually if she saw it...
- I want to have a character which is reserved yet strong in defending his limits. Do you relate with this description? Yes. I'm confident in myself so I'm willing to be forgiving of small...
I worked at Costco last holiday season. It was pretty hectic, even though I worked in the back mostly. But I did get some great stories out of it. Drunks are the best, most are just funny. :)
Pretty much this. Especially the liking sex a lot. I have to hold myself back so I don't overwhelm my guy by expecting it too much. :) And my house stays clean. When Im single I'll let all the chores...
How often, if ever, do you get emotional? -Very rarely. It has to be something really out of the ordinary that hits me when I'm not expecting anything to get to me. How do you react when:...
I've been in a relationship for about 3 months and it's nice. I'm just enjoying it day by day. I'm learning a lot and growing from it so I'd say it's worth it. You just have to find someone worth...
I got platypus too. I'm ok with this result. :)
My mindset is to enjoy whatever I happen to find myself doing. If I dislike something I'm very clear with whoever is pushing me toward it but otherwise I enjoy the random activities. Other people...'
