Anchorite

Ah, yes the old INTP consistent mindset.

Contrary to what you think, I actually like being talked to (especially on the forums). I think we shouldn't worry so much about "being bad at it". You don't have to have good and collected thoughts to create a good conversation. As a matter of fact, I think the most raw thoughts are the most honest and particularly open ones.

Oh and trust me, if I love doing something, I'd usually go ahead and do it. When I got nuttin to say, most likely I really don't.

So, what do you think about "reasons"? Should everything have a reason?

mhm.

I do hate improvising on motivation. I'd rather ask if I want to ask than ask out of obligation. What is your view on this?

*This = reasons for talking or, if you want, reason for anything at all.

ah, thanks. It looked familiar sorta... or at least interesting

What is your avatar from?

When someone talks much about him/herself, does it bore you?

Bullshit world and bullshit personas. What things define "bullshit"?

Maybe we can find the dislike on facade elsewhere. Personally, I'm not influence by all pretense, I'm only bored and hateful against the distrust it seems to show. When a person lies to me, That person is basically insulting me. When everyone starts pretending because of everyone else, I can only ignore because it's dull w/ meaning intended for some materialistic gain. But things like playful roleplaying intended for collective fun are positive.

I can be fake. But most of the time I am serious. But I do unconsciously pretend to be a lighthearted sensitive person. It seems that genuine is not so important to me right now, I'll only focus if its fun to be genuine or not. I hate being judged incorrectly though and the facade used for that I hate as well. you?

hm...Did that disappoint you? I don't know what to say. You're a 'real person'.

But don't you think 'fake' people are interesting as well? Especially when they're hiding something, beneath their masks. Don't you think that produces depth instead of shallowness?

Chemicals...ooooo...

I think I understand. As humans, we can't help but relate and compare ourselves with other people. If everyone's a "phony", their literally not people.

How do you strike me? What is my impression of you you mean?

..well I don't know, normal but at the same time interesting? I can't quite produce enough detail yet.

Typology is useful for intrapersonal understanding. I think most people don't understand their natural dispositions and if they wish to properly control themselves, they must understand then accept themselves first. I figure from experience that some have gifts in self-harmony but I see many destroyed by their own internal conflict.

The self is not composed of free will by itself, there's many factions and divisions such as emotion and appetite that must be harmonized, war must be prevented. I learned that from reading Plato. I agree and I think type will help in self-understanding.

"Real", "Genuine". Why is this important for you?

hm...interesting perception...It is an interesting way to look at. Now I am curious, because to me this sounds rather Ni. I don't know if it is but a theory tells me. It could be wrong but it's worth a try. What do you think about the type "INJ"?

------

I am looking for temporary meaning but I have already defined permanent meaning. So I could say I am done with 'searching for true meaning'.

-----

lose their genuine self. How important is it for a person to be genuine and why?

The forum serves as a temporary auxiliary. I discovered that actual conversation increases my response rate, the array of information widens and other similar factors causing increased potential for stimulation. therefore, I can only thrive in direct communication, the same way I can only thrive in direct stimulation and not indirect ones such as obligation.

Apparently, I haven't given this much thought. But seeing that I am a cogitative fellow, I might as well formulate the analysis right now.

Before that, I'd Like to comment on what you said about endings of uplifting movies. Why? Relative to other people, why do you interpret mine this way? Is it not a norm to seek for happiness?
-----
It wouldn't be so hard for me to locate qualified acquaintances. I am open to almost any subject as long as analysis and ideas are involved.
----
I lost touch with my past friends but I did try testing them. Some failed to reach my standards but I also met some with enough potential. The true problem back then is the reach of contact. Currently, I just drown myself with other means of finding meaning.
-----

Hm...I'm still in the process. Success? I have certainly met amazing individuals, some of which I could spend hours talking with. All I need to do is enlargen this project, but for that I would have enlargen my efforts as well. It's on a steady ride right now but I'm heading there...

On the way, I find weariness. My path is rough but once there, I'm sure the ride reaches an almost permanent peak of intellectually interactive satisfaction.

That is all...

The path towards having friends with infinite discussion energies. It's a simple idea towards more stimulation. Currently, that has been one of my life's purpose.

I'm in America. Obviously, Male. The hat is nice, I agree. I actually searched for it but didn't have enough energy to do anything further than that.

I think I'd rather limit this 'benefit'. I side with reasonable equality and I find it disgusting to see fat pigs on top and honest slaves on the bottom. I think I'll try to become a fat pig and destroy all fat pigs, then I'll just blow myself up and then distribute my organs to the slaves. Again and again, till I die.

-------
No. I understand. The future provides more opportunities. And it might even have a time machine wherein one could travel to the past. So the future could essentially be everything.

--------

Hm...I'd advice you to follow a path similar to mine but that would be impudent and obnoxious of me.

------

I cannot answer my location. I am like Lincoln, you see. My 'hat' protects me.

I see. So often you get bored with one thing and you move to another. I wonder if it's right to look for pleasure where many can't even look for food.

-------

I always thought the future lacks artistic appeal . Sure, robots, spaceships, technology etc. But I've never found it as appealing as living in the age of china's three kingdoms. maybe it's the effect of exposure. Maybe it's also because it's not as 'simple' and basic and connected to me as a person. a highly subjective matter.

-------

"when I start talking and people aren't interested I just feel like a moron so I've kind of ingrained it into myself over time to stick to myself."

You think you can still remove that ingrained idea? I don't think its wise to lump people into one stack.

-------

The hat served a practical purpose? Interesting. Did he wear it when he was actually shot?

-------
"Price Paid"

It's what your used to? You don't expect to change your condition?

Abe Lincoln is most likely my favorite American President. It's the hat.

Why does he wear that hat?

I think you fool yourself by saying "It's just the price that has to be paid in a world full of not me". Or can you elaborate on that?

I'm still awaiting for Dormhouse's reply, actually. Can't really find a breakthrough wherein we can connect. I think my questions made her tired.

Anchorite. Why do you think it makes you feel obnoxious? And why do you not like feeling obnoxious?

What is so interesting about History? I've also been obsessed with cultural details and wonder about the wonderment and the fantastical fascination of being in the wars, in divided china, in medieval europe/japan, etc. Perhaps its the idea of shifting your surroundings and thinking what things would happen if our environment were X or Y. And history elaborately adds onto the realism and it just becomes a very good idea.

What do you mean person of 'phases'? Shifty? Moody?

I've been to Chicago. I heard 'most dangerous city'? And downtown?

I'm 18.

Heh. Sorry. There's this other thing: tl;dr/wall of text. I'll reply soon enough

Tommorow, because of the barrier known as 'sleep'.

Do you ever feel obligated to reply when someone replies to you? I get that feeling a lot. No. Let me correct that. I'm so passive that I rely on people's initiation and I'll only interact once initiated. This forum, I get into the loop of only checking and readying for people's replies. It's really strange...probably out of laziness to read people's message when it doesn't have any relation to my being.

Ah...rest. It's nice to relax. But don't you feel bored being alone? What do you do?

Words underestimated you. You've deduced wisely. Yeah, I like words, the name, the usefulness, the idea of it.

So, you're retired? Old then?

And:

Hah! you overestimate yourself. Have you deduced the meaning behind choosing "Words" as a username?

Then I'm no longer a person. I'm better, faster, stronger, and most importantly, juicier.

Man, I keep running out of ideas on what to talk about so I'm just going back to the basics: "What is Anchorite" and why?

Oh no no. I'm obviously the better person here. JUST WITNESS MY AESTHETIC TASTE.

No no no. I stole them. But does that make me any less of a person?

And I guess this means the dolphin is yours?

What about the plane? The people? The families of dolphin protectors? Dolphin protectors' feelings? Themselves?

I think it is important to strive to become an idiot, for all the reasons you have stated.

Why don't you want to be an idiot?

will the dolphin eat the plane? Are dolphin herbivores? Are dolphin mammals?

Hi. What is that? a plane and dolphin in conflict?
