'This happens to me! It usually happens when I am being incredibly stressed about some life situation going on. I ffing hate myself at those moments. I start to read into others emotional reactions...

How funny, I've often been criticized for being too straightforward, too honest, too rude, too inconsiderate. I tend to feel extremely awkward around women because they mostly operate on feeling...

Man, lunchtimes at my work can be torturous sometimes. Due to location of the office building, many prefer to get lunch in a cafe inside of the building, rather than walking or driving to lunch...

Hey bro, The problem is not so much with other people, the problem is to become more comfortable with who you are. Sticking to your own guns. You cannot change them. You can only change yourself...

Curse Hawking, These are couple questions I have: 1) For how long have you been working in the industry? Is fakeness of people the major factor factor you dislike and makes you want to leave it?...

Dear fellow ISTPs. I need your input on the questions: - Do you harbor an emotional trauma that you consider detrimental to your development as a human being? If so, what is it? - Do you...

I did shotokan karate. As long as you know few vulnerable spots, and strike with a right speed at a right time, you will demoralize any opponent, no matter how huge or how strong they are. I was...

I tend to get quite well with ENTP guys. Never met a single ENTP gal. ENTP guys I've met were never boring. Always in their head, in some sort of crazy world. They notice things I never do. One...

When people make all sorts of assumptions about me, which are not necessarily true, and then judge the heck out of me based on the assumptions made. And all I am left is thinking What the heck?...

when i was a lot younger, i wanted to become a designer (working with materials, shapes, and colors), then an opera singer. Well, it didn't work out because these options were not serious enough....

I think this has to deal with our good listening and observation skills. Combine it with tertiary Ni and highly analytical Ti, and bum! - you have a perfect killer machine. Given that an ISTP is not...

Hey ISFPs, For the longest time I was trying to type Anglina Jolie, who is so hard to type right bc of her killer acting skills. This is a very old interview, where she seems very genuine and...

1.) Is there any chance that we will develop into a committed relationship? What are things I can do to help that happen or deepen our connection? 3.) I feel confused about the whole me initiating...

How would you respond if someone asked, What's on your mind? Um, just random stuff. I know an ISTP's feelings aren't outwardly expressed (as many people have said on these forums), but what's...

i did karate for a while, and an istj girl, who was almost a black belt, taught me a great deal of good. she had a quite tough exterior for outsiders, those who didn't know quite well, but was the...

get out to woods, pray to Satan, burn couple of dead bodies, dance around the fire, get back home, drink a glass of milk, and nappy. seriously tho, exercise. Good long exercise. Swimming works for...

When I am in a firm control of my life and everything's in its own place, and l feel successful, confident, and competent, I rarely stress out about what someone said to me. However, my life is a...

people say that i spread around myself some weird calm aura, when i am my normal self when i am in a good mood, i find it really easy to joke and make others laugh

I have a different story for you. An ISFP I had a crush on... fucking left me. I mean we were not in a relationship or anything like that *official*, but there was a definite chemistry going on with...

I used to be a very serious and thoughtful kid. My high school teacher told me once that I had a very intense gaze. I was never conscious about that at all, but after that I started to notice. Then I...

I get you, sis! It is completely okay, do not worry. Dating just in general sucks. I tried to date, but it is just too much work. I have no control over my feelings and emotions whatsoever. I have a...

There is a hint of autoerotism in this post. An ENFP hurt my feelings. It seemed she was rather interested in her power than my feelings. I will never be able to trust ENFPs again.

Sex is a legit need, address this to your husband, you say you've been together for eight years. don't be so shy, fulfilling your sexual needs is his martial duty. It might be he is too stressed at...

oh god yes, I love cuddling. but this is reserved for only one. I hate being touched by anyone else. only light gestures are allowed, ex. touching of arms as an expression of friendliness, gentle...

Yes, that is the inferior Se. I prefer to go by Jung's original work, which for me is the most clear and simple of all existing personality models. First, I determine the dominant function from a...

Redhotpengy I totally get it. I used to feel heavily guilty for not opening up. Some girls are really curious about me and want to be friends with me and connect with me emotionally. And I'm like...

.

InsertCreativeNameHere Awesome post. I tend to take my life very seriously, and I want to spend my time and energy on what and who truly matters. I am not on a lookout for a cheap drama. Those who...

I'm late to the party. I have a question to you guys (I think women will relate to this better). Do other ISTPs frequently experience this feeling of inevitable catastrophe? Even if everything is...

Your comment made me smile :) I don't think there is something wrong with being weird. In fact, the world would be a better place if everyone was a bit more weird! Weirdness means creativity,...

I am very attracted to ENFP men, and I am slightly wary of ENFP women :) I sense than ENFP women see through me and this makes me feel slightly insecure. But in general, your ingenuity, strong sense...

You balance each other out :) Btw I noticed ISTJs tend to have tastefully designed houses, and are great cooks. When I think about ISTJs, solidity of the earth comes to mind. ISTJs rule!

Thanks for the insight. My mom's ISFJ. I find that Si is more charming than Se, if that makes sense. Whereas Se is unmercifully realistic, Si is more soulful, nostalgic, and unique. However,...

What is your behavior like when you are surrounded by Si-doms? What is your attitude towards their Ne-perceptions? Describe your efforts to be understood by them. They have inferior Ne, and you have...

I'm an narcissist. I hate myself.

It's never too late to say thank you to your skin. bahaha you people are hilarious, made me laugh Yeah we know how to touch people and things properly! KillingTroubleShooter, you found your soulmate

I've heard certain skin problems stem from repressing an emotional trauma.

What is the relationship with your skin? How does it affect your daily life? Extremely general questions. Hoping for the widest range of answers possible.

I get attracted to ISTP guys. You are a hot cookie. But we are so alike, it's not even a joke. I kinda get how your mind works like, but I'm just too lazy to learn about your theories bc I have my...

I tend to get attracted to ISFPs very much. Dem sexy bastards. You guys have a vibrant personality, strong values, style, humor. You are great psychologists too. Hot af.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb07Q4HsYb4 Travie McCoy, leader of Gym Class Heroes. Ti, Se, whole package is there. Oh boy, I had a huge crush on him. OMFG

Aldous Huxley wondered the same thing. This question is extremely controversial because the contemporary Western mainstream / conventional scientific community prefers mind over body. The mind-body...

You know an ISTP is interested in you when s/he actively avoids you, tracks you from the other side of the room, and stacks you on the internet.

I've met plenty of SJ non-believers. I doubt religiousness and/or traditionalism is type related. Keirsey's model is very suspicious, behavioristic. I doubt that behavior is a firm foundation to...

I don't think there is something wrong with being subjective :) It is really the American emphasis of extroversion that pushes everyone into a crazy extroversion mode. Subjective personal values are...

Thanks for your response, I'm really fascinated. Your Ne seems like a magic! I've heard of 1984. I think Huxley's model has more chances to become true. Yeeeah, Ti-dom paranoia :P Aside from the...

Hi ENFPs, Have you ever read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley? What do you think of it? He has strong opinions on what the world is headed to, and the picture is terrifying. It would be okay, if...

emadoe, I'm very sorry for what has happened to you. In addition to that, you are being harassed in here. Victim-blaming, huh. I've met several ISTPs irl, and we are very different. Different...

This thread is several years old. Rising dead. What the heck. Wanna type in my answers. 1. How do you react to good news? I'm not gonna scream oh my god!! and run around. I'm not gonna express my...

Yyyeeah. I know. At this stage of my life I am busy with some personally important, and work- and time-intensive project, so I am relatively okay. Most of the times I don't have this problem, just...'
