I can't really help you with that. Sadness is something I rarely feel, but its possible that you have a emotion stuck in your body. Essentially emotions need to be felt in some sort of way, but the emotions I feel if they are intense I just wait until my mind processes them the best it can. I...

Sort of true, but with the caveat, that we do have many sensory organs and emotions in our brain, so parts of it certainly can feel pain. Our neocortex is indeed just a blob of nerves dipped in liquid.

Honestly not sure where you mean center of the head, but my head used to hurt from my constricted vertebrae in the neck. Ergo screen time TV and PC. I realized the migraines I used to have all my life were caused by screen time. Yoga alleviates them completely. Yoga and proper gentle neck...

Unfortunately most if not almost all artists are severely traumatized people. Usually they are also highly sensitive people. However any female that makes the narrative that all men belong to the box of evil, is invariably going to traumatize women who have actually been abused by man, and...

If you are talking about the split of emotions they are actually two disorders that this happens in. In fact all of mental illness is some sort of split between thinking and feeling. Schizophrenia is split of mind from reality in lay terms. Schizoid is split of emotions and thinking in lay...

Yeah, its a good thing to know. I still struggle with feeling sad, or grieving. I think I can do it, but I am not sure. My mind has a tendency to rely on Si, and Si is recall specific trigger, so I understand how hard it is to grieve. Like I can recall things so much, but a lot of time my...

Why not surprised? Yeah, its relatively new term in psychology even in the west. I actually don't even know if my psychiatrist knows much about it. CPTSD is usually seen as some trauma, but the label has been longer in the west and I don't even know when it was first discovered as separate...

I have a pet theory that we all have differently primed nervous systems. I think the easiest way to categorize humans is in four different neuro types. Specifically to 1) highly reactive - slow burn which is essentially HSP 2) highly reactive -...

Same here. Yesterday I studied languages, and my mind was thrown into stress response. I burnout several times, had depressions and constant anxiety all my life. Now that I got rid of most of my anxiety, I still have random triggers that can cause me to feel out of control. I decided to pull...

The answer to being different you probably are different. Learn to deal with people on their own terms, but sometimes the odd person comes your way who might get you, so throw a few intelligent words out that they can respond to, and see that they might be good fit. For INTP people intelligence...

Most of human history people did not even read. Your contempt for how much smarter we are is obvious, because you think easier life is something bad for us. Why our ancestors 40 000 years ago did not read? Were they lazy? No they just did not have the time to do it? Is hard life a badge of honor...

I agree. But teachers are often in position where being idiot is easy to see, so it can be pretty stressful being a teacher, but the things you named were really good disagreements worth a fight. I rarely disagreed with teachers. I was class clown and ignored studies and hated school. I learned...

External truth is in principal cohesive, because that is how we know for now. Our brains are made that way. Internal psychological truth is not cohesive, especially not for our subconscious mind. Natural world is same, our interpretation of it can fluctuate wildly. The world and how we know...

I have a question. Why do we stress book learning? It gives us a sense of security about our future. The problem is those secure jobs are already taken by very smart people. The less smart people don't know this yet. Once they graduate they will be competing for job positions with those smart...

The world is complex and societies are complex. We meet strangers everyday, and our attitudes to them reflect culture, but also rules that are written and unwritten (ergo subtext) The question is can you really be racist to someone before you even get to know them? Ergo I can wake up one day...

Some lying is personal failing yes. But most lying is disjointed state of society and action. We live in a world where actions are less than words. Then why be bothered by lying. Or surprised that people who do not lie are hurt by words. If people lost the ability to talk this world would become...

Physics, Time limit, how much time you are given to do something. Calculus is childs play if you get enough time to study. Its literally idiots play. However if you get bad teacher or bad workbook or have little time, then you are fucked and even raw intellect might find it hard to understand...

Attachments. If you don't love yourself you can't let go. Very cliche thing to say, but people being attached to hero worship is basically that. We want light to shine on crap life, and if life does not provide it, we invent idols to provide it for us, so we can feel better about our life...

They say be vulnerable, but I say, I can hurt my feelings better than anyone can. Fight me!

I wonder what meds don't go with this, but luckily I am nowdays more focused on internal mechanism to help me with stress. But for future, I might give it a go. Thanks for info.

I used to think like this, and I still do. But on other hand practically speaking its a kind of defense mechanism. Yes INTPs love the deeper connections. Then again how do you facilitate that if you can't like people when they are shallow? Basically most brains don't work like INTP brains...

@Animekitty dude its like you done some serious research on this topic. I agree with most things, but I often think that shallow people are actually defense mechanism. Not saying people aren't shallow, but honestly most of our modern day interactions are shallow. Take for instance this forum...

If this forum lasts few more years, we can call ourselves hipsters.

Hi. Yes INTPs come in all shapes and sizes. Mostly though they wear glasses and have a dorky lab coat. That is according to my meme research on pinterest. Realistically though I think INTPs must have been a plenty at university.

Yeah I know. I just needed to vent. I used to think positive thinking was bunk, because I could not even do that. Truth be told when I get emotionally stuck in some pattern, I start thinking and I can think of all kinds of amazing garbage. I think I can do more of positive thinking these...

Maybe make the AI smarter than humans. :act-up:

But everyone knows this already. That is literally what even simple animals like birds can do. Why do we then fail to build AI? If its this simple AI should be built already. I doubt people making AI are oblivious to these simple realities of intellect.

Yes you are right. Essentially I think we have both the same understanding now, but that still means my actions are full of unknowns. Those are always hazard to me and others. AI that needs to learn adapt to unknowns, needs to know how to navigate new situations, not old ones. Much like...

But can a woman be wrong? Probably not. That is even if they are wrong. Froyd was right about something, but he simply could not figure it out because the pieces of puzzles were killed in process of making civilization happen.

Essentially this.

This is true I can learn to love myself, but I am pretty sure I cannot make a modern woman love me. There is just primal part of my cave man DNA that screams no all the time when it comes to women. I know I have been traumatized and I have listened to psychologist. Relationship advice from...

This is part true and part wrong. We are fatter, because we have steady stream of calories yes. Lazier we are because technology simply does not allow us to do more no matter what. But dumber is also not quite true. People today live more complex lives than people in the past. A farmer in...

@Animekitty Ill give you a shortform answer to your current problem, just to give you motivation. I guess it helps. Trauma sucks, and sucks the life out of you as long as you carry it. Don't give up, because you deserve better. Having no emotions working for you, but having few emotions working...

@birdsnestfern yes I will look into this. Sounds complicated, but I will keep it in my mind as diet is important and many things today contain things previously foods did nôt contain. @sushi yes I write a journal. Emo journal to vent and write about my emotions to help me reflect and remember my...

I have taken magnesium, and D3 during winter, and now its more about sunlight. I also haven taken B complex. Thanks for advice though. Not sure if L Theonate is the same as reg mag from pharmacy. That is good that you identify this. Personally I am not sure why my mind is clear one second and...

This is advanced stuff, spiritual stuff. I don't know really much about spiritual things, other than some of my own idiosyncratic beliefs, which can generally be summed up in what to me seems basic essential beliefs I carry from observations. I often wonder whether my crisis is spiritual in...

Anything pertaining to human well being and survival becomes a moral question. Anything that can impact more than one human becomes a moral question if its so profound it will change we behave and deal with problems. A virus in the 90s has cost millions of people their lively hood and was a...

If you like I can send you a list of youtube CPTSD channels, the ones I use to work on my issues. I don't know what your situation is or how well you are doing, but if you have not started working on your emotions at all, I suggest working on some physical body grounding techniques via...

I did and am starting with yoga. So yeah, I can finally feel my body. I never even realized I don't feel it until I started running many months ago, and realized I don't feel my legs.

I am talking about the movie it self and its natural conclusion. Not the new Blade Runner, but the first movie. What we see in the movie is a philosophical idea of what it takes to be self aware. Self awareness in human context that is, because even bacteria have awareness. Self awareness...

INTPs were put on Earth to find solutions to problems other people don't care about.
