when you spend the whole day just waiting for those damned emotions to fade away as you know they eventually will ... and then peace at last.

Happy Birthday! Hope you're having a wonderful day! :king-twitter:

Where do I belong? That is a very good question to which I simply don't have an answer. When I look, I simply can't access a feeling of 'belonging'. For as long as I can remember I have felt unbelonging, if there is such a thing. I do feel strong connections to people and places - but...

c'mon the correct response is *you're 53????* Impossible! ;-) classified information!

oh I didn't clock that - got the link from a facebook friend who must be a subscriber. That *is* a photo of me on my page!

ooh more photos! (just seen flow's). Your eyes are an amazing colour - and what a gorgeous grin. Can you walk wire then?

Saw this and thought of you: http://playground.last.fm/demo/tagstube/share?user=askush and nice to see a photo - you're cute!

we call them 'specific learning disabilities' here in the UK - and yes probably related to your spelling - dyslexia and dyscalculia often go together as well as dyspraxia and general disorganisation (which I have). I was born with a near-perfect spelling gene though so it's not always the case...

Welcome Steamboat. Just listening to some of your music - nice and chilled, First sunrise. This place is home to a disparate but somehow similar bunch of total misfits. No problem.

smiley monkeys??? eeeuuuuw! :raven05:

Welcome noisewar - and that is a seriously disturbing avatar. Yes, you'll be fine here.

Easiest in the sense that you don't have to take responsibility for deciding what to do every day, but they were utterly horrific times for me - to spend the rest of my life in high school would be the worst hell I could imagine, frankly. So everything was better for me once I left school and...

You're very welcome, nia - if anyone deserves to be celebrated on the forum, it's you! [and I wrote the poem and drew the picture - :o] Happy Birthday

I <3 David Mitchell - great choice!!

I felt like doing that many times when I was your age. Not a good plan but totally understandable.

I don't have favourite numbers probably because I have pretty severe dyscalculia. However I do hate that number which is the result of multiplying 8 x 7 because I can never remember what it is or work it out. Dyscalculia sucks!!!!! Seriously - it's been the bane of my life, like a huge hole...

It's eudemonia's birthday on Monday and I thought it would be nice to honour the incredible contribution she makes to this forum by creating a thread in which we can, if we wish, give her our birthday gifts. I don't know if she's visiting regularly, I suspect not, but on Monday I will email her...

:D you gotta love her! She is such a brilliant thinker and so fearless. I saw her once years ago on a news chat programme around the time when the UK was plagued by football hooliganism and all these middle class liberals were sitting around oohing and ahing about 'what should we do to tackle...

To be honest I think that all human beings are at one level or other, egoistic and self absorbed, concerned with maintaining their own place in the world, and seeking their own happiness even if it is sometimes at the expense of others. There might be an INTP flavour to this as evidenced in...

Exactly what Jennywocky said so brilliantly. I would hate to relive my 20s, they were the most chaotic, frightening and confusing part of my life because I didn't have parents who were able to give me the advice which Jenny just has. Instead I was brought up with violence, random moral...

There are a couple of different things going on in this thread ... There are plenty of women in history and nowadays who are talented, brave, creative, innovative, fearless, activists etc - whatever category of 'role model' we might wish to draw upon. But they are not 'famous' in the way that...

Nice photos - you have a good eye - thanks and post more

Hey there - sorry to hear you're having a bad time [looks both ways] hugz

Hello ran, sounds like you're in an excellent environment for an INTP = well done!! I suspect a few of us are not a little envious. Enjoy it and share some of your photos with us soon.

hello Misanthropy - your username says it all - think you'll fit in. [awkward silence]

why do bots want to read the INTP forum?

Thanks D_A for stepping into the breach - I agree this is the kind of meditation I practice and it is very simple (though not easy!) I was taught it within a Tibetan Buddhist practice and it is called shamata or 'gentle abiding'. One benefit is that after practicing for a while, you start to...

^ yes that makes total sense to me, Yellow - thanks! especially the last point of the 'blessing' - that's what makes me look really good in meetings :-)

I used to play that when I had a piano. It used to make me cry when I played it - or did I play it because I was sad and wanted to cry? Who knows - I've always cried a lot. Just call me Tiny Tears.

:( so this is why all my relationships are doomed to failure? I am beginning to wonder if becoming an academic is part of what's fucked up my life - my Ti is now dominating everything - I was a lot more fun when I was an arts administrator and potter.. Thanks for all the responses - they're...

I admire your self-control ermine - have a good break and hope to see you back some time

I would love to take you up on the bowling tip. I am probably the worst bowler in the world despite trying really hard - and by that I mean taking all the advice from every person who's tried to help me and even trying to bowl with non-dominant arm etc. I went bowling with friends from work...

Story of my life :D:D hey! When you think out loud completely forgetting there's a person over there (how do you think Misty Window might feel after that response to their FIRST post!?) welcome Misty - and feel free to post an intro.

Cheer up twiztid - you're young and have plenty of time to pack in sex, drugs and rock n roll ahead of you.

As a result of this comment: I responded that it's a strength and a curse and our life task might be to work out when it's the one or the other. I thought it might be interesting to ask 1. When is it a strength? 2. When is it a curse?

The curse and the strength. I think the life task of the INTP is to work out how to make it a strength and avoid falling into the pitfalls of using this talent inappropriately so it becomes a curse. Hmm. might have to start a new thread.

When this conversation turned into a 5 year research project and you somehow find yourself presenting the ideas to an international conference in the USA!!! (seriously this is exactly what happened and why I'm in the US right now) Oh and it went down a STORM!!

hi nevermindtime, I have been meditating, both formal and daily life mindfulness meditation, for around 25 years and I would agree it is one of the most useful and health-giving things to do and I would say especially helpful for INTPs. I learned meditation within a Tibetan Buddhist tradition...

[strokes Noddy's head and scratches his back] hmmm. Cats are essentially killing machines. Polaris - we INTPs are very laid back - but ... can you please do multiple quoting instead of multiple posting? (press the plus sign of the ones you want to quote) I don't know why, but it makes it a...

Ok Polaris - be afraid. Be very very afraid. Noddy is being polite. If Melkor is nice to you I suggest you run away. Fast. I'm nice though :angel01::angel01:

I already like you just because you edited for 'Grammar' ;) welcome

I have 100% perception but I haven't a clue what you two are talking about :confused: Mind you I've missed countless conversations over the past few days. I liked your offering (I always see the 'lover' in the middle of your name) and found your voice compelling and mesmerising. God I know...

So are mine (most in the inner sanctum) but that's probably more to do with the fact that I did all that theorising stuff when I was younger and also because I spent my whole day at work doing that. But I often wonder if I'm INFP because I theorise about people and relationships and the worlds...

Welcome to the forum - I'm a bit slow on these intros but I'm one of the silly old people on here and just wish so much I'd found a space like this at your age Ramdomaspects is 14???? I thought at least 19

I'm in New York today! Leaving tomorrow morning. Pity I haven't got to know you yet, I wanted to meet some American INTPers while over here.

You're an ISTP? When did that happen? (now understands that comment in the pm) On that site if I read the descriptions I could easily be INTP, INFP and ISTP actually. Oh sorry nevernmindtime - welcome to the forum and enjoy yourself. I envy you the apparent normality of your life - kind of...

Sorry Waterstiller - I missed your comment - was busy coming back from the dead! Glad you enjoyed it.

Never give up
