I don't believe that, I believe some personalities are more likely to enjoy life, or have a higher ceiling in how much they can enjoy life. We are beings-in-the-world. The ones who have abilities/traits most attuned to the world will be happier, all else being equal. I think for OP, it was too...

WHAT'S HAPPENED TO YOU. Lol No no... that's a big rabbit hole that one.

I don't like being back :( I'm playing music a lot now. Trying to anyway. Favourite cocktail bar? You mean for drinking alone.. you can't possibly mean socialising, can you? Lol

Yes very happy. It was just what I needed, feel thoroughly refreshed (see what I did there? Talking about feelings. Lol). I'm going to stay in Sydney for the next 6 months and just see from there. Still would like to be a nomad. What have you been up to?

Well I'm back in Sydney. Never did get to Europe. Philippines is my second home now. Even though they didn't like me overstaying my visa and fining me.

Wait, who's the non-competitor in Two and a Half Men? I like the term. I'd consider myself a non-competitor for the most part. I'd suggest that another way to be a non-competitor is to get married. It's kind of a compromise between winning and losing. It's not in every male's interest to...

Try now?

Hahaha. I like my brother's, just think of the most ludicrous things... "I've got to meet Obama at 10:30am, then I've got the G20 summit after lunch, then head over to play Champion's League in Madrid with Ronaldo..."

Cheap booze huh... I'm not even allowed to drink anymore :( Do people ask you "what do you do all day?" since you stopped working? I'm so tired of answering that question!

Probably Philippines! I'm just not interested in a comfort holiday anymore, or even a cultural one. Just want to do some volunteering, give help to people who need it. I'd still like to squeeze in Iceland during summer, budget is waning though lol...

Don't they speak French in Belgium? French is weird as hell? Lol. I've actually gone home to Sydney, I've been here for a week. I mistakenly thought it was cheaper than it actually was to get a flight home, because I misread the currency on the airline's website :/ I don't think I told you how...

I guess my past attempt to be normal that I used to talk to you about, was really a roundabout way of seeking belonging. If I could be normal, I could finally belong...

Ideally I'd go home for a week or so, recharge, then head back out. Australia's just so far though. I've always envied you guys in Europe where you can be in a different country with a different language in 2 hours. Partly why I was always so desperate to go.

He says he doesn't see patients through the DSM lens. There's truth to the DSM though. Not complete truth, but some truth. Perhaps the best thing to do is look at it with multiple lenses.

Yeah I've hit a block. Think I'll go home. Not that I really belong in Sydney. But it's the closest I've got.

I'm just recalling our last convo about your agoraphobic spell, which kind of stuck with me as I planned this 6 month hiatus overseas. As I planned I've been in Hanoi, Vietnam for more than two weeks and spent most of that time in a hotel room. I know someone here, and see her maybe every second...

Hmmm I don't look too closely at types, I think once you start going "Is he/she/I really that type??" then you get confused and shit gets blurry. I'd be surprised if you're ENFP anyway. You just don't seem extroverted to me. Life on the road was ok until I first got mildly bored, then...

Been hanging out a fair bit with a couple of INFPs since touring (separately from each other, that is). A funny bunch. I can easily see why we're not an ideal match for them, despite being close. It's like everything is in place, can be silent together and still completely comfortable, but...

On an internet forum? Hmm I dno lol. I'm doing a travel blog, some photos on there http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Banana-Mango/ or flick me your email ?

I'm in Manila, Philippines. I kinda like it here. Maybe I won't go to Iceland haha. Meh I have 6 months to play with...

Just re-reading your message after a while out - does anyone actually belong here? Isn't it just a forum of people who don't fit in anywhere else? Lol. Ah I'm mean to the INTP.

I think a lot of people will remember you. That annoyingly ENFP-like INTP... jokes! But kinda true. Nah joking. But kinda serious. Lol.

I think it's pretty well-documented that tournament species have alpha male hierarchies.

Apparently for a small percentage of people prone to anxiety or more specifically panic attacks, meditation can make that anxiety worse. I would put myself in that category. Unfortunate as it seems to be very effective for a lot of people.

Prozac (fluxetine) has been quite good for me. Not sure how long it will sustain for as it's only been about 2 months, but good so far.

I have a killer memory. God people overstate the relevance of personality type.

FIFA 14 ftw. I can resist anything but temptation from sports games.

Probably she is, yes. I don't even consider someone depressed anymore unless they're at that tipping point where nothing can convince them or snap them out of it. Clearly you're inexperienced in this aspect of the psyche, but I don't blame you. I was too until fate shoved it in my face repeatedly.

The most profound thing I heard was something my brother told me when I asked a similar question to the threadstarter - why kill yourself? You're going to die one day anyway. Newsflash: You were born into life with a death sentence. You're going to die. Why rush it? I understand that pain can...

It's the same girl! Lol. Anyway I don't want a relo anyway really, I can relate to the Japanese: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/20/young-people-japan-stopped-having-sex

I agree they're not that bad in small doses. And their effect can be grounding. It's ESTJ's that are the real enemy :evil: If they don't like us they will have us for breakfast, having the social nous to make things really miserable unlike the ISTJ who's too passive to do any of that.

She's not INTP she's kiwi bro

What's the difficulty with this? Basically it's a recurring trend where I want to pull someone towards the "deep and meaningful" world of the IN, and simultaneously enjoy the sensation and validation of the ES world. The problem is - neither can last for any great extent. They need the constant...

You know what though I really do feel being an INTP is hard. I was friends (drinking buddies, mostly) with this girl at work for a fair while. We'd kind of get touchy feely each time at drinks and one day we eventually made out. I unfortunately got a bit emotionally attached even though she has...

Apparently a sperm "knows" when another sperm is related, in that it will form a macro-sperm with those of its own kind only (this was found in some polygamous kind if mice).

It's generally for people who want to think they're thinkers, without actually doing any thinking. There is some good stuff on there too though.

Good question. Actually the thread I just started on "what is a social group" is probably the exact same thing. I mean we can point to a person, we can say "that person there, with the blond hair, with the unique brain etc". But can we point to a group as being a thing-in-itself? Certainly not...

Re: What Are INTP's Passsionate About? Judging by this forum? Junk size.

How do you know when you're in one? Aren't we all islands? Without the memory function of our brain, would groups even be possible? Discuss.

Iceland... was never in doubt really. Guildford LOL there's a suburb in Sydney with that name, it's pretty much bum town lol. You'll also be pleased to know my normal quest is over and I'm more and more reverting to my usual self of thinking far too much and being emo all the time... so if we do...

I got my leave approved :) 6 months starting December 2. But... I can't decide where to go :( and ideally I'd book flights by the end of this week. Nailed it down to Reykjavik, Barcelona, Bordeaux or Kastelorizo. They've all got pros and cons. I'd stay a couple of months in each, but I'm not...

Do you have social pressure to get married, if you're not already? I know Vietnam a single female 28 would have a ton of it, and judging by the Indo girl I know it seems the same?

I'd be surprised if there are even any Indonesian people in Bali, considering how many of us go there. The way us Aussies treat it seems like an overseas Kings Cross, a place to get absolutely shitfaced and act like a dickhead. I reckon only a small percentage would even know that it's in...

1. I'm not sure. I'd be interested to know if other people perceive a gap. There's definitely been numerous times where I've gotten well with someone online, but had no rapport in real life. 2. I'd say knowing who you're NOT is important. Otherwise you'll be putting your energy in the wrong...

This guy's interesting and calls psychopaths "monobeings" http://www.bethelministries.com/psychopaths.htm

Did you fck a watermelon? Don't worry man it's normal.

I want the t-shirt "Nietzche is my homeboy"

In chronological order: Inventor - kid with a hyper imagination. Tended towards technology and science Lawyer - to be like my dad, sniff Guitarist - Fe bonanza In late high school and since, it became a clusterfuck of wanting to do everything and nothing

I used restraint and got a 6 month break rather than quitting entirely. Will start in December. It coincides with me wanting to absolutely stack up on knowledge of neuroscience and programming, which I can use to transition careers. I'm doing it all overseas too. Like a planned system outage...
