Usually I am pretty good about eating. I'm not health food conscious or anything. I just know that when I eat so much fast food, I start to feel bogged down and sluggish. Not a good feeling at all. That's why if I eat fast food its usually Subway; BMT lettuce, pickles, onions, tomato... oh god...

I used to be one of those people that smoked all day everyday. It was no good started getting extremely paranoid. After 2 yrs of not smoking, I went and bought a 'probation-is-over-celebration-bag.' No tolerance + KB = 1 hit and quit (out of a sherlock mind you). I smoked w/ a friend took...

The guys from The Black Keys are from my school. They are before my time but still pretty cool. Who said Akron was a complete dump? Anyhow, as far as rebelling? I guess if you are on the inside you could call it that but its not intentional. I go with what I like. No sense doing something you...

Resounding yes (at learning Russian too!) I figure that it comes from the idea that at the end of this life, nothing we have done really mattered. Sure we can make a scratch in the course of human history but for the most part it didn't do much on the larger scale. Perhaps our brains (or...

I suppose I felt a bit more sense of belonging to something. It's not perfect but it's something. It seems to me that the lack of social life and confidence in one's self is because we take to heart what society says is right/wrong. This to me seems really strange because confidence comes from...

I wouldn't give up the strengths of an INTP for anything. I do wish I could be more extroverted and more willing to use what set of natural skills I have. Oh the connections I make. I amaze myself sometimes. I'm sure if people knew just how well I knew their true self they would fear me which is...

I'm with Da Blob on this one, something that we won't know the answer to until this life is over. I'm gonna have a big 'what the fuck?' waiting for whatever is on the otherside if any. I wonder the same thing, this is the single thought that consumes me. And its frustrating because I know I...

Hanged Man

Surely is. I carry a small pebble in my pocket for just that reason. I attach a mental note to the action of playing around with the pebble. It's like fighting fire with fire. Whenever I start playing with the pebble the thought enters my mind of why I am doing this to counteract the desire to...

Interesting that I should find a post here about quitting cigarettes. It's been on my mind now for the past month or so. I've quit several times in the past for months at a time. I've always started up again to deal with some stressful situation but, really when did cigarettes ever make a hard...

Wow that sounds like paradise. Toss in a crystal clear mountain lake and its perfect. Don't you just love that rope swing hanging down from the weeping willow in the front yard? If I find it I promise you can come over whenever you want.

Isn't everyday Halloween for the INTP, you know with all the masks we wear?

Not the best quality, I had to use my crappy cell phone camera. If it's too blurry go ahead and skip mine. I hope to see what my handwriting says about me! EDIT: how do I post a picture thats not an attachment?

Agreed. I don't hold others to the same standards that I hold myself, that is not really fair. I am currently working on ways to minimize the effects my ego has on my interaction with people. So far not much luck but I'm gonna keep trying. It's just too easy to throw out the new stuff in favor...

Haha so true! I don't know if you're joking or not but, I generally feel that I am "better" than most of the people I deal with. I have few equals. @OP Who gets to decide whats normal anyways? One time, I was dropped off at the mall while I waited for my dad to get off work so we could go to...

Tune I can see you are going to be one of those teachers that is either hated or loved. I agree 100% that understanding is everything. I share the same view on today's education which is really just a preparation for standardized testing. I consider myself lucky because at my highschool I had...

Wow Vreck, killer thread! I have gone through this waking world/dreaming world dilemma for a long long time. It comes back to the surface every now and then. Perhaps the dream world was a place created by the brain where it can be its purest self, free from the restrictions placed upon it via...

Can I be in charge of the "book burnings?"

Re: Do you think your addicted to adrenaline?! I absolutely hate that I procrastinate or maybe I should say the stress that comes with it. When I do buckle down to get stuff done, I'm in the zone. I couldn't turn myself away even if I wanted to, this I do like. It's amazing the kind of things...

I don't know whether I would call what you are describing gluttony or greed, maybe its both. To be honest I don't quite understand why it has to be this way. It really shouldn't. If we define advancement as a better or more efficient way of doing something then, yes, advancement is definitely...

Pure Nerd 65 % Nerd, 13% Geek, 30% Dork

Why would it make you uncomfortable to be what/who you are? Only in the context of comparing yourself to others I can see this. There really is no logical reason for one to do this. As for relationships, thanks to my intuition, I have a knack for saying the right thing.... that is until my ego...

I suppose you could say my view on society is rather Marxist. I view life as a struggle to accumulate limited resources. This struggle creates the class system. Doesn't it sound strange that those who have access to the resources are the ones who get to decide what the course of humanity, or...

Interesting Phantome. I am in amazement with this kind of stuff as well. Really makes you wonder if it was planned or another act of randomness. Experienced it many many times myself. I'd be interested to know what you are reading on this topic. My focus is energy. I think the most potential...

I always have people asking me 'If I'm loving life yet?' I think wtf are they talking about? Usually I just smile and laugh in response. That usually gets a good response.

When I am forced to focus on the matter at hand ie: tests, sports, games... I am thankful that my mind is on my side. I even amaze myself sometimes. I can remember one time when i was in 6th grade, our reading class was playing clue for whatever reason. We broke up into teams and played along...

When I am walking to class, I'm either looking around at stuff or have a blank stare on my face. I must look scary or something because people are always getting out of my way. I might have to look into that:confused: Somehow I'm present enough to notice this.

As others have said before me: martial arts. I haven't studied seriously in about 7 years now, sadly. At my university the offered a karate class. I took it to fulfill my phys ed requirement. I was shocked to find that the world grandmaster himself was the one who was teaching the class :eek...

@Jennywocky Definitely me you just described there. I used to hate going through the drive-thru, because I wanted to know who I was talking to, what if they are making fun of me? I could order from the counter no problem. Eventually I got to the point where I said to myself ok this is stupid...

Start looking for a ladder? You sound like you know what you need to do. Just the doing is the hard part. I can definitely relate to that. Currently going through it myself.

Uh oh I think you may have just occupied the rest of my day:p. I've heard about game theory before but never actively pursued learning something about it. I will have to read up before I post back.

This past week has proven to be strange times. I have had chances to sit down and deeply inspect myself, chemically aided meditation if you will. ;) First time in a long while I might add. I have been hiding from the truth of reality for a long time now. I know that I have to start accounting...

That one Saw movie where the girl falls into a pit of hypodermic needles. Saw doesn't scare me, needles make me cringe.

Do you toke? A few years ago when this was an everyday thing and I kind of awakened to seeing all of this. I wasn't sure if I was imagining it all because I was high or if it really happened. It surely didn't help that my friend who I smoked with was a manipulative bitch. Fuck her and her head...

Im left eye dominant and I'm right handed, what does this mean?

Nope not just you. I know the exact feeling. I always get depressed when I think about society in general. It just isn't right. People really aren't free to do as they will. We live in a materialist society where your worth is often measured by what you have. I fucking hate it. One way you can...

bahahaha cavallier! weight lifting statistics? really? I worry about society.

Yea I'm with random on this one, although his avatar tells a different story:D I also freeze up if someone confronts me in a crowd, or even just catching me off guard when I'm off thinking about whatever around peaked my interest ;) It takes me a minute to realize who they were talking to...

Yea like I said look for some interesting facts about what you are going to see or deal with. That you would be dedicated to improving those statics or something like that... gotta sell it right? I think you just need to figure out a way to show interest.

Its hard to think about for a part time job. Are we talkin airport tacobell or bagage handlers? The only thing I can think of to is come up with is to find some kind of strange statistic... hey I care about this shit, right?

It's not that I can do so all the time. I go into auto-pilot mode sometimes when I get caught up in a situation that I find interesting. Then about half-way through when I am talking I go, "Whoa did I really actually just say that??" And then I quiet down back into awkwardness. All in all its...

Youre problem is youre a girl? :D See laughing is good. To touch on what UDM said, once you start the internalization of a situation: should I or shouldn't I? Is when things become awkward. I find that when you just go for it rather than stew over the possibilities, things feel much more...

Yup OP = original poster (or post) I am doing well with my leadership role. I don't know what it is but it seems we have that dominant personality. Its strange because I have a good idea of what needs to be done and yet when it comes to personal things I find myself afraid to try new things b/c...

Yup I'm like that myself. I too make those same "asshole-move" sarcastic comments. I think its the cause of our egos. I only discovered this recently and I'd be curious to know if others have found the same thing. I don't think this is something to dislike about yourself. I personally value...

All the time OP. This is kind of what I was talking about in my Power & Manipulation thread. At this point in time I have had to assume the leader roll in a couple of groups for school (*gasp* I know an INTP as lead?? I did it out of necessity) but anyhow I always find myself trying to get an...

Hannibal of Carthage - rises up against all odds using what he had to overcome a "superior" enemy... for a short time at least. The best example of true courage in my opinion. If I could I would sit down and have a beer with this guy.

I know what you mean OP. I'm a senior but i somehow have until next Dec ('10) til I graduate. I always think in terms of: ok one week down... that leaves XX weeks until im out of here. It makes going to class like pulling teeth. I try to not think about it and take the classes for what they are...

So true! I didn't have any care for math until I started to learn equations that had actual physical meaning. What?! You mean those numbers can tell me if I push that hard on this metal I can snap it in two!??? /mindblown

All the time. I would agree with logician. I originally took that to be a warning. What else does a hermit have to do than think or even brood? A person with nearly endless amounts of time to think sounds like the worst kind of enemy to me. Also: Cavallierose you crack me up :)

Yea paranoia sucks. I used to get it real bad when I smoked weed so I quit that. Nothing worse than being unsure of whats real and whats not. I wouldnt go down the violence route unless you know that there is nothing else that will work to stop them.
