Light my fire

[Frostblommor]

Hi.

I'm 23, Estonian, and my mind is a galaxy.

I shoot people for a living. Although having always been fascinated with creating I never realized I could turn it into an actual career, until high school when I started studying photography on my own, and five years of struggling and constant brain battles later, here I am.

Like a typical INTP, I pick up easily everything that interests me. It has been so with languages (I think I have studied around 8 or 9 so far), cooking (currently studying raw vegan foods and nutrition), digital art and photomanipulation (that's how I spent my teenage years), and now violin studies at the age of 23 thanks to a very good private teacher.
Sometimes my attention span lasts longer than five minutes and these moments are precious.

I love learning new things and analyzing them over and over. Unfortunately, this does not work so well with humans... I am currently working on developing my Feeling side with hypnotherapy and guided meditation so perhaps in a year or so I can show more empathy and be less bitter with others.

I ended up here after an INFP guy who was attracted to me sent me a MBTI test and I started to research the matter. This forum is amazing. I love the sarcasm and slight arrogance in almost every topic, it truly feels like home : )

Here's to new connections and ideas!

Siiri

Is the lady with her head in the flowers on your profile pic you? If so, it's not really a good place to light your fire.

Anyway, welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy us and find this place interesting enough to stay.

When I first read that you 'shoot people's for a living, I paused and imagined you in a role which would require you to 'shoot' people, like in the Estonian Army or something - I got all the way up to wondering how an INTP would feel after they've killed somebody..

but then I finished the paragraph and realised my thoughts were well off, that's what smoking will do to ya.

I must say I do like the title of this thread.

Also just curious, how proficient did/have you become in those languages?

And welcome to this here land.

Come over. I have lots of matches.

I have been thinking about it, would I be able to kill a human being? Probably not. I feel terrible even when accidentally stepping on snails...

Since the foreign language I use most is English, it's also the only one that gets daily practice and I am able to hold a conversation in it. Definitely not fluent, but acceptable.
With other languages I can still read quite well but have trouble speaking, perhaps it would come back if I was in the right environment.

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone (:

Warm welcome, from a bunch of INTP's and their groupies? What an idea.
