'There's no conspiracy. People don't tell you because they simply don't know. The vast majority of people pay more attention to what the Kardashians are wearing than to what's happening in world...

You've been warned. What has been seen, cannot be unseen! :shocked::shocked::laughing::laughing::ninja: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwD65naw2Ig

Haha. Totally hear ya. With my friends and family it's kind of a patronizing, And what random target/stereotype are you out to destroy today, Impavida? :P

Guaranteed way to piss me off and make me lose all respect for you: Shoot down or dismiss my plans/ideas as being unrealistic or unattainable. Douche, do you even know me at all? My entire life...

Suzuki SV650. My first bike, and it won't be my last! http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/photogallerys/IMG_2411.jpg?378220

Probably. Lol! Travel threads tend to catch my attention on this forum :D

Very well travelled. I've visited 60+ countries on 6 continents so far. Lived/worked/studied on 4 different continents between the ages of 18-25. Road-tripped across Canada, but still have...

I'm always happy. Usually bored half to death....but happy, nonetheless.

All of the above. I didn't fit into any single group because I fit into all of them. I was a mixture of athlete, brainer, band geek, party girl, class clown and outcast. End result was loner, or...

In the grand scheme of things, my childhood wasn't that bad. I never suffered from a lack of material support or life guidance. I did, however, grow up in an emotional void. Emotionally...

I have a full-time job, a mortgage and two cats. Beyond that....I wouldn't consider anything about my life to be normal. I base that conclusion on how difficult it is for me to relate to the...

Old thread, but whatevs. As others have said, public speaking (ie; speeches, presentations) is no problem at all for me, so long as I know my subject matter well. I also do better winging it then...

Impossible to type him without meeting him in person. All we see of him is his public persona - a character/image that he has sculpted over the years because it benefits him. None of us has any...

If you have no interest in maintaining a functional relationship with this person, what is the point of apologizing? Also, an apology should be something that will benefit the person who is...

At the risk of sounding arrogant as f--k: I'm tired of always being the impressive one. Is it too much to ask to meet someone who impresses *me* for a change?

It's a constant battle. The only thing that has worked for me thus far is to drastically lower my expectations of everyone and everything. I'm most likely to shut down and call it quits when...

Some people simply have zero understanding of what introversion is. Despite the fact that I'm extremely outgoing for an introvert, my ex-husband (ENTJ) constantly used to push me to socialize more. ...

Hot bath. Epsom salts. Wine. That is all.

I actually don't read that much anymore....damn you, Netflix! My go to novels are generally either fantasy or adventure. I've got a lot of Clive Cussler, Matthew Reilly and Dan Brown on my book...

I'll just quote myself from the What went wrong...? thread in the relationship forum :P

I'm a chameleon. My daily wear is cargo pants, steel toed boots and fitted tees. However, I have no problem with ball gowns and stilettos If the siuation dictates it. My natural state is tomboy....

How aware are you of unmet needs? Strangely aware, yet oblivious at the same time. Lol! I'll be consciously aware of an issue, but I'll rationalize and dismiss it as minor or unimportant. I'll...

Onna04 From what you've shared so far, I agree with ENIGMA15 It could be that he's not that into you, or it could be that he's really not interested in a relationship at all at this point in...

Dinner tonight was 1lb of mussels and some Belgian beer. Revenge never tasted so sweet (with a hint of garlic too) :cool::laughing:

Who knew that paddle boarding could be so dangerous?? F-ing zebra mussels.... 588634

Tattoo consultation booked for tomorrow. Fingers crossed that it will be good news. I've been wanting to get this cover-up done for almost 10 years now....

ISTP Type 7. I'm a tactile & visual learner. For the most part, I prefer to be self-taught. Although I'm much more motivated in a classroom setting, I generally find classes to be far too long...

Double tap

Axe Throwing League??  Why yes, I am interested...  http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/264/200/acb.jpg

I loved programming in machine code. LOVED it!!! It just made so much sense to my brain. I remember the final exam for that course. Those of us who understood the subject were done in 20 minutes....

Do you have close friends? Only 2, and they live 4000km away from me. Locally, I have several acquaintances and activity buddies, but nobody I would consider a close friend. There are a couple...

He's not interested. If he wanted to see you, he would find a way to see you. He has told you straight up that he can't be bothered to put in the effort. Listen to him.

I realized a couple of years ago, that the so-called golden rule of treat others as you would want to be treated is horribly flawed. As it turns out, the way an ISTP (or at least this particular...

I had great plans for the day. Instead I did absolutely nothing. It was glorious.

Flawed analysis of ISTPs is flawed :P Another Banther here. Played (and still play) typical sports, did very well in school with minimal effort, highly conflict avoidant and very easy going....

Desperately need to get out on the water after work today, but it's supposed to be thunderstorms off and on until tomorrow afternoon. Mother Nature - 1 Impavida - 0 :sad:

A thought that occurred to me when I saw this thread pop up again... I think the reason that I enjoy hugs is because they are still a novelty to me. My family was not physically affectionate at...

It will really depend on the two of you and your dynamics. I've been in a FWB relationship for the last 6 months or so. We were friends for almost a decade before the benefits started. He's ISTx...

I'm weird about activity. I'm basically at 0 or 100% without much in between. I can easily sit for an entire day (I've done 12-13 hour flights without once leaving my seat). But when I'm active,...

I was born and raised in Bring Cash. I currently live in Onterrible. Every province/territory has their pros and cons. In terms of politics, I would take BC over Ontario any day. Kathleen Wynne...

Annnnd it's a ruptured hamstring tendon....just what I needed to make my week better. Booooooo!

This says ISFP. ISTPs are clueless when it comes to reading other people. Emotions are a mystery to us (including our own) and we often come across as being very blunt and insensitive to...

How aware are you of other people's emotions? Do other's often accuse you of being insensitive or tactless? How do you feel when people criticize you? How do you feel about long-term...

People I can do fun things with, who share/enjoy my sense of humour and whom I can have interesting conversations with on a wide range of topics.

The last couple of posts definitely resonate with me. Are other ISTPs often told they are a natural when they are learning new skills? Whenever I'm trying something for the first time in a group...

Go out and meet people :P Sorry, but that's really it. Unfortunately, you have to go through the shallow, superficial, acquaintance phase before you can reach the deep, meaningful, friendship...

Yes.....just....an overwhelming amount of, I agree.

How could a person possibly be bored in the summer? Does not compute. I have so much going on, I barely have time to sleep over the summer months.

I may not remember names, but I always remember faces of people I've interacted with before. I regularly have strangers coming up to me who already know who I am. Mostly in a work setting, but...'
