Stepping Out of My Head to Say Hello

[Late2theParty]

Hello all. A few months ago I found out I was an INTP... and what it meant to be one. The world seems to make so much more sense. I was relieved to find out others shared my strange combinations of habits and traits. I started analyzing all my friends and acquaintances I've had over the years... and our relationships also seemed to make much more sense in the context of our personality traits (why some worked and others didn't etc).

Been lurking around here and procrastinating on signing up (which doesn't seem to be too uncommon). But I finally felt like the time was right to get out and interact with some of my people.

A little about me. I'm in my mid 20's trying to figure out what to do with my life, I work a monotonous job that pays well, but I find it makes me feel like I'm wasting my time being bad at it, and spend a lot of it daydreaming about other random things. I'm trying to figure out what else I would like to do, but my INTP hatred of detail work / carrying things all the way through often gets in the way getting good enough at something to move up. I feel like a jack of all trades master of none.

I'm obsessed with music composition. I play guitar, and dabble in bass, drums, piano and singing as well as electronic composition. I also like mixing audio. I love the theoretical and improvisational aspects of music, but carrying a piece all the way through to completion is very difficult for me.

I have a blog here

and you can listen to some completed pieces here

How did you lurk around?

Mainly with an internet connection and a browser.

What threads were you interested in and what members (if any at all) did you notice?

I read quite a few all at once a few months ago, and then a little here and there since then...so it's hard for me to remember. A few threads that stuck out...

• a bunch of threads on how INTP's interact with other types, I find that pretty fascinating in general.
• threads about what other people felt when they first found out about their personality type, as well as how their job situations were.
• famous fictional INTP characters.

One particular avatar stuck out to me just the other day... Dimensional Transition. The first time I saw his Bill Cosby multi - eyed avatar I literally laughed out loud.

I'd be into music if I actually stuck with an instrument.

Welcome.

Welcome to the fold brother.

Umm...What's the bowling ball for? Bowling for those irritating guys who wear speedos at the beach are we?

You don't bring your bowling balls to the beach? WTF? Actually I'm not sure if the ball has any significance in the painting besides providing some contrast between the painting and the real beach outside.... and it kind of ties the piece together compositionally. The painting is called "The Human Condition" by Rene Magritte

What flavor?

I'd be into music if I actually stuck with an instrument.

It's rough to get good at it. I was lucky enough to have a bit of a knack for it so I didn't have to practice as much as I should have. But I've definitely hit a wall with it where I feel I'm going to have to go hardcore with practicing to get to the next level.

Wow that's awesome!

I actually downloaded some of your songs. Hope you don't care about that copyright stuff.

Thanks! Download away. That makes me feel good that you enjoy it enough to collect it. If you like it tell two friends. More to come early next year.
