I would just like to reintroduce myself to everyone,

"Hi, I'm Cory, and I'm an alcoho...an INTP"
-hahaha, funny right?

I don't know how long people generally stick around here, but after I found out I was an INTP I shortly thereafter found this place during that inevitable, obsessive, ADD research we do when we become interested in something new.

I hung out, I made some acquaintances, made some enemies, and had a few good debates, and then moved on for a few months, but I have returned, for those who haven't noticed yet. Since I didn't post here the first time around, I will now.


My name is Cory, I am 19, and I am what amounts to a confused INTP. People tend to label me as someone who would be extroverted, unintelligent and shallow. I refuse to be viewed as unintelligent, but in the general chameleon nature of the INTP, I often just allow them to believe I am extroverted and shallow, which is easier in the short run, but can end up making me very frustrated down the road. I have quietly battled with anger management issues stemming from chronic, mild depression, which led to a very spotty disciplinary record in high-school, which subsequently prevented me from getting into a nice, NESCAC liberal arts school to pursue my english major like I had hoped. Through a series of favors and dumb luck, I have ended up at a hyper-competitive, thoroughly business oriented school in the GBA. Just imagine. An INTP in a cut-throat business school with the estimated second highest freshmen workload of any college in the country.

Anyways, as you can imagine, these business school kids have no grasp on the beauty of the theoretical, the imagination, the bigger picture, the reason behind the fact. This frustrates me. So I have come back, to maintain my sanity.

Somehow I don't imagine you're real.
You can't possibly be...

Welcome back Cory :)

It's good to have you here again.

*edit - please give Cory a chance. If any of you had left the forum for a period of time, is this how you would want to be greeted upon your return?

Accusations against another member can be both damaging and isolating. Please keep this in mind.

*bats away Tyria* Oh stop being so silly! Being condescending and flippant is how we do things around here. :D

As for the return newbie: I think I remember you. You were the one with...no, that was somebody else. Well, welcome back anyway. Huh, I would have thought "business school kids" would be all about the big picture what with all that shifting paradigms, driving innovation, and streamlining processes. I love jargon of all sorts and the business world never fails to give me new tidbits to add to my collection. I know a guy who got a business major with a computer science minor and is doing pretty good for himself despite hating the business world and the business school he went to. Turns out a four year degree in business makes you surprisingly marketable.

If I have stepped out of line, I apologize to both Anthile and Melkor. I was reacting based off of a combination of perception (or misperception if the case may be) and my own values.

Dear me, this is why you shouldn't have values. You feelers are so messy...

Hrm, I rather enjoy Cory's presence, and am glad to see him returned, however, I think he'd be rather disappointed if we didn't challenge his existence, thus giving him a chance to justify himself and perhaps discover some new personality quirk beneath one of his cranial folds.

As for Fukyo... I would have thought you of all people knew the fetid depths of the male NT mind?
I mean, we have established your ego is largely male, haven't we?

One newer person could say... Welcome for the first time... Or welcome back stranger... But in any case some sort of welcome.
So welcome.
And welcome back to my stupid posts.
Or not because I wasn't here before, so welcome to my crazy submissions.
At the very least you can feel welcome here.
Well, come along then and rejoin us
Or join us in some peoples case.
Depends on your view of life
Or simply just how long you have been here.
Or maybe its something to do with the fact that time is relative...
Or perhaps... I think I'll stop here
Well, come along then and welcome again

Oh well, the guy may not be any kind of NT for all I know.

But not everything that shines is gold, and in this instance not everything that has a jock like avatar is necessarily a real jock. :cat:

Actually, I was refering to your tarring of Anthile and myself with the same brush of 'guys'.

Applying a stereotype you yourself may fit seems hypocritical, no?

Very, very sorry, my dearest. I had assumed you were both referring to the same thing, so it seemed reasonable. I shall never make such a transgression again.

I'm off to have my beer and chips, watch TV while ogling my wives Dormouse, WW and Kuu.

Hrm.

Something tells me that was meant to inspire jealousy and not pity, but you know...

Selective bigamy with femme fatales seems a bit self-destructive, don't you agree?

Anyway, read a book, t.v is only good when it's informative, which it rarely is, at least not lately.

Does Serbs bashing gays and sweaty men escaping a hole count as information?

I can't say...

Welcome back.

More variety of opinion is a good thing. ^_^

Plus no one else around here has deserved the title of 'pretty boy thinks he is bad ass'. All in good humour.

The whole atheism religious debate is raging at the moment, you should check it out.

Behind you, kicking you in the ass
Welcome back and don't worry about whether you are real or not. It doesn't really matter. Real is overrated.

Just so you know, I've worked in corporate america jobs. I hated them and hated the culture. It will be interesting to see your reactions to the business mindset as you experience it.

Why is it that whenever I post here people "don't think I am real".

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000170502137

that is my facebook. Please, feel free to friend me and I will accept you and confirm my reality. Or realism. Or whatever.


As for business students here, not at all about the big picture. Much more about the nitty gritty excel sheets, economic transactions, yada yada. Possibly this is just freshmen year stuff, and we will pursue the bigger picture things down the road.

:confused: I don't get it either. It's not like anyone else is real too.

Heh, because if we accept that you're real, it means that INTP's can be popular, social, Jocks, and as a result, a lot more is expected of us.:P

At any rate, you must be extremely rare, and I can't even begin to imagine how an INTP could maintain or even enjoy that sort of lifestyle while remaining sane.:X

And if you can't accept that I am real, you are knowingly lying to yourself, which is rather sad and self-deceptive, which is not a trait I would expect in an INTP. We like truth, knowing it for ourselves at the very least, or so I thought.
