that is bad news lol. Or does it just mean I have an audience...
Hey, look on the bright side! They probably figure you’re disturbed, so you can continue to so disturbing things!
we have basically had polar opposite experiences, only at the end of my mentorship I was traumatized. She was the reason I started learning nowegian actually, she inspired me to actually use my potential.
I mean, i don’t really have great male role models in my life other than him. He was a private teacher, so of course I’m only seeing the most put-together side. All of the guys in my family died middle-aged, and I’m pretty sure my dad is passively suicidal, but he’s never seen and still refuses to see a therapist. There’s just a blank, unreachable look and he then makes a joke, or reroutes my words back at me to make it seem like my observations aren’t real. (Sigh)
I have a lot more females in my family, and the majority of other adult role-models (teachers mostly) were female. I suppose for me to say that the female role-models in my life were the ones to undermine me is a little biased, considering there was just more of them. It makes me unbiased when judging character of females though, I don’t really have any unconscious biases.
Im seriously jealous of the knee high leather boots women get
Why X D I find your fashions tastes funny
Just wear doc martens

Ehhh like I said, just lack of male adults in general (during my time as a minor)
I agree, easier said that internally accepted though.
Spoken like a pro. I need to practice what i preach more, so don’t feel pressured
Im trying to figure out/develop the side of me that society deems wrong.
Dude, the definition of what we find “cool” are literally people who have a distinctive style, personality, or goal, who don’t feel the need to compromise themselves for social pressure. Once you get on your feet about who you are, It won’t seem as though society deems you wrong. (Treeeendsettar!)
BAH so weird to think people see me this way.
I don’t quantify myself as a “person” because I don’t know you in person. I can’t read your body language or facial expressions.
I thought I was insensitive and self absorbed.
How you treat others is different than how you treat yourself.
I listen too much? I demand proof. Growing up in an abusive household with unaffectionate parents, one of which wanted absolutely nothing to do with me, certainly has its disadvantages.
Introspective listening, then. Or maybe a better way to describe it is internalizing. You’ve demonstrated that you naturally internalize your experiences. I mean, everyone does in different ways, so I guess it’s a pretty general analysis.
When I say “listen” I don’t mean listen to understand. More like hearing, I guess? Where you feel compelled to correct someone because you’re too uncomfortable with them thinking something you don’t seem accurate. Like when you defended your teacher woman and made excuses for her. Sure it’s a reaction, but you got unsettled by what other people said. Ugh. I’m not using the right words what are words so maybe just disregard this...
and after 30 attempts at making my little snowflake case, It sank in. We all suffer, and go through our own unique growing pains. Fucking rebis making me self aware and "destroying the fuck out of my pity party". thanks my guy. <3 that honestly hit deep, I will from now on remember that exact conversation, any time I feel like im being a pitiful little bitch.
I think intpf peoplesuck is the real PS deep down, I have changed so much in the last few weeks its crazy.
Haha! Yes you were a lot more reasonably and easy to talk to after that. Before you were only reacting, which is understandable.
I’ve had a lot of people tell me I wasn’t special or unique from a young age, and I assumed they knew something about me that I didn’t, so I stepped cautiously. In conversations too, I’ve learned that you can’t reach someone unless you make it understood that you’re not undermining them or their experiences. unless I’m confident of the other person’s situation and can visibly read them, I go with validation as my approach. A lot of people already are beating themselves up about their issues and what they do wrong, and they don’t need to hear it from you.
If you’ve only had people in your life tip-toe around the situation and not confront it with you, it makes sense that you’d view yourself as “a special little snow flake.” Im glad you snapped out of it, because it makes it impossible for anyone to console/advise you because no one could possibly give you the “right advise.” And then you’re rendered unable to help yourself.
I appreciate your insight, and that you took the time to share it. It means a lot to me.
Pretty sure I just saw my Fe for the first time. Weird, and bigger than expected.
But of course! I try to give any helpful insight when I can. I’ve seen so many people left in the dust because no one took the time to listen and give some perspective. Everyone is too careful and too busy most of the time. I’m just grateful you got something out of it. Makes me feel like I’m not just wasting my time/procrastinating to be nosy!
Not that I’m 100% vicious all of the time, but if I’m totally honest, there is a nasty little part of me that enjoys being cleverly mean to bitter, hostile people.
I’ll speak plainly and generally.
This is because you’ve been treated this way, and as such it gives you pleasure to dish it back. It’s common when you’re insecure. This is often caused by having been in circumstances where you feel you have no control over your situation or your state of being. It’s a maladaptive coping mechanism that gives you power over a situation through emotional manipulation. It’s most common in women due to a social history of being viewed at as irrational, and being given little material jurisdiction over their lives. It’s why women don’t band together, and can treat each other horribly. There’s a reason for all those stories of concubines hating one another, and even trying to hurt/murder and each other.

Okay, this is rhetorical mostly. Feel free to solve the riddle if you think you’ve got some ideas about this mildly evil tendency of mine - but my responses will be few and far between, if any tonight. Gotta work. Tag me.
What riddle?
What if im an infp and I just needed love
Get out
I’m kidding
But still
