Hello From A Newbie

[Geauvoir]

Hey! I've never been on a forum before so I'm not sure how to post. I have read the General Rules though. Tell me if I'm doing anything wrong.

I was an INTP for many years but recently switched to being an INTJ. I think MBTI is rubbish except for good entertainment value though. Mainly here because being an introvert in online school, I don't meet many people in real life. My interests are poetry, writing, art, and productivity. I have two cats and an old hamster. Well, that's my introduction, I suppose.

Welcome. Feel free to indulge in any type of conversation you want. It's likely someone here will bite if it's novel enough. The topics you mention are appreciated here. Though many including myself have strong opinions on productivity culture.

Is there something controversial about productivity that I don't know about?

The culture around productivity is actually very much debated in a lot of circles. Typical criticism around mainstream culture such as unreal expectations and ethical dilemmas some people find they have to make.

I personally do think work is good for the soul. I saw your first productivity post, I'm sure if that's the type of post your making for you'll find what your looking for, don't let me discourage you.

Welcome Geauvoir! May I ask what your name means or symbolizes?

My dad's name starts with G and I crossed it with Beauvoir from Simone de Beauvoir, who is a philosopher I respect greatly. A little tongue-in-cheek because my dad is absolutely not a feminist.

Excellent! Thank you! Welcome.
