I'm an INTP female and I cut my hair about a month ago. Super short, shorter than the picture. I have really thick semi-wavy hair that apparently sticks up straight out of my head so it was kinda the poofiest mess of poof until I invested in some expensive hair styling shiz so people would stop...

Show me a sign, O exalted One!

INTPf is a very... accepting capitalist conglomeration. You learn to love it.

Even if their life is ruined people always say "thank you" for gateway drugs.

Nah, I would enjoy a diverse collection of cloths. Like Henry VIII's ass wipes. That might be cool. And I would suggest growing him a TARDIS. He'd love it.

Prove it.

I've been considering going to a psychiatrist for a while just to see what's up with me(I don't know if I would be willing to try medication or therapy) but I'm still a minor and my parents are (ISTP father, ESFJ mother)hardcore conspiratorial conservatives who believe that mental illnesses are...

Most of the time my mind will be racing with ideas and I'll be OK but then I'll start to slip into this stagnant mental state without doing anything different and it'll feel like withdrawing from a drug. I'll then start getting really restless(heart-racing, can't focus on anything, running...

I get ignored a lot too. Since I'm on the outside and people think I'm fragile(so they won't tell me) I can only assume it's a lack of respect because I don't meet their standards of acceptable and share their hobbies. But I've also had occasions where the same people that ignored me have gushed...

I'm quite confident I have it. It's not getting any better, either. Has anyone here been properly diagnosed and have any advice on dealing with it without professional help?

I would argue that eloquent writing would require being most efficient. The best poetry has no unnecessary words, everything is intricately hand-picked for the exact feeling one is trying to describe. As in "I took the extra time and respect you enough to not just say things to say things, but...

If I could just point you to the door, good sir.

Assertive ignorance(sheeple in particular) Sexism, racism, ageism in all forms Government taking away freedoms that don't effect other peoples freedoms Arrogance People yucking other peoples yums without consideration So basically all people I guess

Common mistake. An addiction is put into motion by an individual trying something and that thing releasing rewarding chemicals[Serotonin, Dopamine] in their brain. If you like something, you typically go back for more, right? That's part of the action-reward survival instinct in our basic...

They've been told that using such words are dishonorable and make you look like less of a human being and never ask why Herd mentality encouraging people to care about four letter words over world hunger, tyrannical governments, etc, etc... I think it's less of them seeing you as emotional and...

Never too late until you're dead. It seems like everything is more of a confidence issue than an ability issue. You haven't lost the ability to be a straight-A student, you've lost the confidence. Remember that you are always the same person, just increasing in knowledge, so with practice you...

My short term memory is excellent but my long term memory is questionable. However, my ENTP brother's short term memory is shaky but his long term memory is outstanding. Better than anyone else I know. He recalls tiny facts from when he was 5 with impeccable accuracy but can't remember when I...

This is very true. Growing up surrounded by mostly S types I was constantly boxed and I believed them because I respected outside feedback even though it was incorrect feedback based on their underdeveloped and perspective-less Si. The few other N types around me, I found were doing the same...

Just do it. No better time than the present. There is no way to make this statement and absolutely get the reaction you want. She's going to like you back, or she's not. Why not figure out now? If you're sure you like her and you want to know her thoughts, just ask. Do it casually, it's not a...

A warm welcom- wait don't get too close to the sacrificial fire. In what ways do you find yourself identifying? Anything particular? I personally deeply identify with Helvete's avatar.

I've noticed this too. I think it's part of being unable to emphasize their point without being overdramatic, but I also think that Western culture tends to abuse words as a whole for that very same reason so it seems to just be them conforming(or perhaps ESFJs were the cause of it? hmmm..:D)...

All ESFJs I have met tend to repel me. I can't stand their conventional thinking and their intolerant/closed-minded regard to my way of thinking. I've debated with them and they only parrot what they've heard people they admire say without question and flail emotions everywhere when there is...

The History of Future Folk It was like a good college film. Kinda pathetic but the patheticness made it somehow less pathetic. It didn't keep me well entertained, however. Could have fit the whole movie in about 20 minutes and it would have been a great short film but otherwise I give it a 3/10.

It's not like they're doing anything sexual, it's only dancing. They signed up to take a dance class, no? They didn't sign up to get paired off with the opposite sex. If they're really uncomfortable with it, which I don't see a justifiable reason for them to be, then I'm sure they can opt out...

I can switch on an exterior ESTP personality on a whim, but it's exhausting. If I feel the need to make someone like me for any reason, that's what I do. Otherwise, couldn't give two soggy lumps of bread about what most people think so I tend to waddle around looking slightly angry and lost...

I make myself fake-cry 1-2 times a month for some sort of emotional release and it just helps me feel less low, I guess. It's not real crying, I don't feel sad or feel the need to cry, after I do it I just feel refreshed. When people around me are crying I tend to start feeling tears coming. I...

Failure of will to do what I know I need to do in order to do what I want.

The fact that my aloofness trumps everything else and my long-term productive abilities are hardly ever utilized.

This introduction thread beats all other introduction threads into a hemorrhaging pulp. Welcome, do enjoy your stay.

Feelers make good Watsons, good at dealing with people. Great writers, philosophers, musicians, artists and such were/are feelers. They're capable of everything a thinker is capable of just like a thinker is capable of everything a feeler is capable of, they just have different interests so some...

I'm for the version of feminism that supports overall equality but is called feminism because it agrees that women are oppressed moreso. Nah... MATRIARCHY. But really, if you're not a feminist in the way I originally stated you are ignorant to the issues, sexist, or a...

I haven't seen this pattern anywhere regarding INFP hate. I rather like INFPs. Male INFPs are actually a big percentage of the people I admire and a lot of my good friends that I barely have to tolerate are female INFPs.

Clara seemed...useless... in season 7 and had no other function than being a helpless little goldfish that added femininity to the story and boosted the Doctor's ego. I'm liking her better in season 8 though, Twelve has proved himself at sucking in the area of emotions and she is able to balance...

When I start feeling vapid and can't bring myself to fake-smile. I can usually last a max of two days without alone time.

Yep. If it's something I haven't been meticulously taught to do I'll hardly be able to read it. I'll just see it as this giant lump of unsolvable problem in front of me, get very frustrated, and lose my patience with it. I've been looking around regarding it and there appears to be a disorder...

Aren't you just a bowl of milk and controversy? The most uncomforting breakfast. Imagine a world leader having a bleeding adoration for puffins. They just felt that puffins should be revered. EVERYONE should revere puffins. If they followed their heart concerning puffins, what would happen...

I'm futhermore avoiding this because bulletpoints. Revolting.

Welcome to the forum! I think you'll quite like it here. That's basically an INTP's entire life. Being lonely in a crowd, having little energy to go out and invest in people. However, it doesn't have to be, of course. There are more people that share your views/lifestyle out there than...

SJ's actually have gaydars implanted in their brains at birth. You can run, but you can't hide. :segen: ... No, but really. Like said above, you can't lump someone into a category and expect them to abide by it as if it's a law. It completely depends on the individual.

Boring people make the rest of us look even better. Closed-minded numpties in positions of authority

Ever since long division I've had trouble with math. It's one of the few things that get me genuinely frustrated and on the verge of tears and I don't know why. I can barely handle Algebra, that's about it.

It'll give one the incentive to get as much done as they can so they can do the most of what they want. That creepy prickly feeling up your spine you get for seemingly no reason.
