look at us

[DesertSmeagle]

Look at us, all of us on our little forum website thing talking about all this garbage. We talk about religion, depression, and other things we are interested in. But, the sad truth is, none of any what we talk about matters at all. I wish we were ill ENTPs..The world would be an incredible place. All we talk about what things could be, and we dont do anything. Myself included. Im constantly bitching about my life and all the shit that goes wrong..But guess what? Ive tried to do stuff about it and apply all of my ideas to my life to make good stuff happen, but nothing works, and all of these ideas here are all just thoughts,in which we are all too lazy to apply to our lives...........so, now what..What are we supposed to do?..what am i supposed to do..Nothing seems worth trying or living for. Im not suicidal, but, i just dont know. why. ok my laptops out of batteries..I honestly dont know how to put my thoughts into words this time.

As you grow, your shadow functions also grow. Slowly, but they do. You wind up matured. I look forward to the day it happens to me. Anyhow, on that day you will discover you can function healthily, both thinking and doing.

I wish you wouldn't project your problems on every other INTP on this forum. I'm doing constructive things with my life.

And what "matters" anyway?

 

[EyeSeeCold]

Things don't happen overnight. It'll probably take a while for you to reach lasting happiness, but I don't think the boredom lapses will ever go away no matter how much fun is in your life. We need constant stimulation to feel good, yet too much of it at one time is exhausting.

 

[DesertSmeagle]

Ok . I just think I'm going through some dumb phase where I'm trying to discover what I want in life. I can't think about it anymore or else these shadow functions will surface. That's probably why I've been bitching so much, had alot of self discovery bullshit goin on lately with all this philosophy garbage I've had to think about and its mixing with depression and that's definitley not good. I'm not gonna wine about my life anymore. It's just polluting this forum and creating nonsense. I mean I'll talk about stuff that matters but i've gotta stop with the whole depressing life thing. It's just a reflection of my inner thoughts and feelings at this moment in my life.. It'll get. Better, it always does.

 

[DesertSmeagle]

Oh ya and ermine there's actually a psych term for that haha. It's called displacement. I'm displacing my depressing mood on you guys.

Projection is when you project emotion in other things it people. Like when you think a dog is smiling at you.. He's not , your projecting the smile into the dog. Hahah psych terms.

a world full of ENTPs wouldn't be any better than a world full of INTPs. it would just be louder.

i'm an ENTP according to adymus, take that for what you will, and i don't do shit that's productive at all. i'm happy, though. happy just chillin and taking life for what it is, doing what i can to help.

all you can really do is live in the moment you're in. daydream about the future all you want, but dont' forget where you are. find hobbies, find friends, find interesting things to think about. it's impossible to find something that really just "matters", because it's all so relative to everyone else. just find what makes you happy.

I think I'm suffering from the same thing you are experiencing, and it kind of leaves me with a severe apathy of doing anything. It's like I don't know what to do. Though, I'm trying to just out think negative thoughts. Such seems obvious and quite simple, though I realized just how much I do such, and I think my problems may arise from such. For me, I'm just kind of forcing myself to activities. Even social ones, like trying to talk to someone without over detaching myself from every situation. Of course, I don't want to completely do this, as I do love/need observance and self reflection, but I think too much can leave a person feeling rather hopeless and depressed. Haha, now I'm making conceptual inventions in my spare time (well trying to, but invention is necessity, and I need some inspiration)

All we talk about what things could be, and we dont do anything.

Do playing videogames matter? Sports? Things we do for fun don't need to matter or have a higher purpose.

Though, one could argue the debates we have here broadens our understanding of the world and so on. We learn something from everything.

Talking about things that could be, that is highly interesting. But I rarely feel like making it happen. It's just something to ponder over, I don't feel the need or want to do anything about it.

Myself included. Im constantly bitching about my life and all the shit that goes wrong..But guess what? Ive tried to do stuff about it and apply all of my ideas to my life to make good stuff happen, but nothing works, and all of these ideas here are all just thoughts,in which we are all too lazy to apply to our lives...........so, now what..[...]

There are times when I whine and complain, but I am progressing in my life. To the outsider it would probably seem like sulking is all I do. In RL I am taking steps to get better.

I must admit I've spent some time in isolation, sulking. Eventually, I finally managed to assemble some pieces and start rebuilding. Having a safe place for my emotions on this forum has actually helped me reconnect with feelings I haven't been in touch with for years. It's like I'm slowly reawakening.

Oh ya and ermine there's actually a psych term for that haha. It's called displacement. I'm displacing my depressing mood on you guys.

Projection involves people as well. Ermine is correct in her use.

I think that im just worried that im in college and ive chosent the major of psycholgy. Im interested in it, but i really dont know what i wana major in...I think the reason ive been like this lately is because by going to colege i have to devote my life to one feild, and i really dont wana do that..I dont know what to do. I wish i could be like ben frankilin and do everything, but i cant.
