Hi. Im excited.
If there is a protocol for introduction posts in this oh so intriguing community that I have only just been acquianted to, then I am deeply sorry to the unfortunate moderator who must regulate my essentially, almost, useless post.
But I digress.
Im not used to be concerned at all with punctuation marks when I write on the internet, but this is an extraordinary day amongst extraordinary people, which Im being told by my intuition to hold in high esteem.
Yes well.. oh.. introduction..
I am 20 years old and Im from Iceland, which is an island in northern Europe which is recognized as an independent nation, with the astonishing population of 300.000 people.
First things first.
I only just learnt about this 'INTP' phenomenon yesterday.
Reading about this phenomenon was an experience that satisfied a subtle but essential question or idea, very deep in my psyche, that I had forgotten I ever even proposed or had.
It happened like this.
I took a free test from a legit-looking site that told me I was an INTP, with some percentage values on different characteristics that I didnt fully understand at the time.
I then read the wikipedia article on this phenomenon.
I am, in essence, a completely individual person. Relating to the world around me on a deep level (my level) in a social context is something I have succeeded in doing so rarely that I could count the incidents.
But I digress.
As I read the characteristics and mental attributes alleged on wikipedia to be those of an 'INTP', I was very excited and really didn't know what the damn durn diddily fuck to do with the emotions that to me were, although joyful, very foreign and phantom-like, analyzed as a novelty for further contemplation.
A little bit about myself.
Alongside being a gruesome case of an INTP, I am also bipolar, experiencing divine periodic manic episodes that last august through november, followed by the price, an episode of depression lasting six months, when my world is never better than grey, and I am only interested in existential debates with myself.
My first mania presented itself in august 2008, crashed in december, followed by six months of depression.
This exact same thing happened again in 2009.
This exact same thing is happening now in 2010.
Although, in my six month sentence to solitary confinement where I am mostly occupied with pessimistic speculation about my own existence and purpose, I wouldnt hesitate to call it way worth it. Because to be an INTP experiencing a manic episode, is divine.
When I am depressed, I am nothing. I am an empty canvas. I do not possess the mental fuel to be any form of personality. To look at me, you would intuitively label me a dull, lazy and detached stargazer.
In fact, if you could read my mind, you would see me inside my little stage portraying the role of the defender of life against the screaming prosecutor (which is me in neutral mode) who reiterates again and again the evident futility of my existence.
But I am mildly manic right now. This is why I digress. But this is all relevant, if your intuition wants the big picture that I have only so little revealed of.
I would never digress like this if I wasnt manic. My mania is something I first experienced when I was 18, and now when Im experiencing it for the third time, I know it has helped me to pinpoint exactly what I am, how I stand out, how I can excel and what essentially is important in life.
But now I get the feeling that although this is an audience that might actually have the courtesy (like I would) to take real interest in my little introduction, I am going to cut it short, to avoid at all cost binding your attention to something so universally insignificant.
I am 20 years old and I live in Iceland. Im a freshman in college, studying computer science (which is way easy for a guy like me). Im a gymnast, and Im competing in the world championships of gymnastics in october.
Id like to say with sincerity that self-improvement and ambition were my main interests and concerns.
But in reality, it is chilling out while Im young, making friends and investing socially, because I know that is what will keep me sane in the long run, which probably is subconsciously my prime objective, above all just keeping sane in the long run.
Please oh please respond with detail
