You should probably be doing all that stuff you're worrying about instead of running away from it glued to a screen. Spending all your time taking in info, and reflexively grabbing your phone when you're stressed, is pure escapism. Just directly confront the actual problems you need to address...

Babies' incompetence never fails to amuse me. Like when they're sitting up and try to turn their heads, and because of their shitty weight distribution they instead fall over. Hahaha. Idiots.

I wasn't making the assumption they need to be furthered. I thought it was implied in your post. If not, fine.

^OK, what's the "actual self" and how do you further it then?

I don't think that's anywhere near as effective as living with a coach. Seriously, environment makes a difference. You trained to be a coach? :D Cool.

OP: Discipline isn't motivation. http://www.wisdomination.com/screw-motivation-what-you-need-is-discipline/ Read this. https://www.reddit.com/r/getdisciplined/ Subreddit for people looking to practise discipline together. There are a ton of useful tips out there which I won't...

This is actually an awesome idea. Pay someone a slightly inflated amount of rent to live with them, train under them and thereby absorb those habits and traits of theirs which you covet. Like an apprenticeship, but for discipline (or whatever else). Joining the army takes it too far imo.

Hey Artsu, go into more detail about the change you've experienced without framing it in MBTI terms. Might be easier for other people to understand like that. You feel number, less motivated (by the physical? by easy highs?) and more mentally impulsive/less critical? That's what I've gathered...

What if all humans are the dissociated personalities of a much greater entity suffering from DID, and one day we all get reintegrated into the original? Just a mental-illness variant of the 'we are all one/separation is an illusion' philosophy, but it was a fun dish-washing moment. The...

I think they do sometimes. I've had my mind changed before. Also, cool subreddit showing some people really are looking to at least consider the other side. (And yes, some threads result in the person doing a 180 on their previous belief.) https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/ IIRC the...

This is something I'm slowly learning about. theanonymous, The trick in the perspective-shift as I understand it is to start to see each possible problem as a surprise adventure. You commit to a choice knowing you haven't planned fully for it (and couldn't possibly plan fully for it anyway)...

The key thing is that it's never quite pulled together. This isn't intentional, it's a spiritual gift.

^Shieru's INTP What a delightfully short test.

This is very encouraging. Thanks for coming back and updating (so rare) and congrats. :D

You should really do the presentation yourself. Sounds like a great opportunity. Take the time off; could open important doors.

Working now. Cool signals. Clear differences between J and P.

Lol'd hard at the end of Auburn's post. What a bait-and-switch. :p Make sure you come back and finish it! Save

I can't open those links! It says the account's been suspended. I was so excited! :(

Ooh. Yeah get to typing Auburn! :p But also post more of your actual material. How do you distinguish between extroverts and introverts of a similar type (eg ENTP vs INTP)? By dominant function or by E/I factors?Save

Cool fact: Surgeons come 5th in a ranking of professions with the highest number of psychopaths. Lamely, doctors came 9th on the opposing side (lowest number of psychopaths). This actually surprised me because almost every doctor I've met has been an NT with a learnt/perfunctory bedside manner...

Love Auburn's post. +10, and relate 1000x to the stupidity of PeJi's evershifting sands (like having the rug pulled out from under your feet OVER AND OVER AGAIN), and the importance of mastering the mundane. Totally refusing to even understand it represents a desire to cut off those portions of...

If it's something like fear, I'd imagine it's because fear is a primal and physical response all bodies are capable of producing, just like an erection is a physical response all men with functional penises are capable of producing whether or not there's erotic stimuli at the time. The physical...

I saw one once. It was scary. Must've been close to death by that point - wrinkled, fleshy, yet oozing with a strange kind of appeal. Sure did have a lot of power over the forumites, and in fact all the internet, but it was way too easy to push its button. Or so it'd claim. It was always hard to...

Yes, yes they did die. I killed them. There was a position open for Psychopathic Fuck With Misguided Ambition, and I went straight for it. I also filled the Grinch position, and the Getting Crotchety In My Old Age position. Also doggy. Filling that big slop bowl all night long baby.

Yeah I like that too. It's just that there are already multiple platforms for people to generally chat, and almost every thread has a topic around which discussion revolves. But getting something novel and unrelated most times you open a thread is much rarer. I like it because it shows a window...

Please don't turn this into group chat. Start another thread for that, and in fact I think there are already other threads for that. This thread is for random thoughts, presumably mostly disconnected, unlike a chat/conversation. I don't have a problem with anyone contributing though. Heh, you...

Ooh yeah. I had a change like that too. It did suck. Now I'm changing back after years. That sucks too. The secret, Sinny, is not to suck. Sucking is the worst. Don't swallow that shit. Fuck that.

This rock rocks, Rocksus.

Shitty shitty shitty. :slashnew:

Yep, always felt I'd die young, even if I didn't think it. Just a feeling since I was a kid. Sometimes felt like a premonition ("there's no way this isn't true), sometimes like just a feeling. Feels like I don't have what it takes in my 'life potential' (if that makes sense) to become old. I...

1) You should be constantly surprised. If you're not, you live in an echo chamber. No human gets it all right immediately, and learning to get it right happens slowly and in pieces. Seek surprise, seek outrage, seek humbling. If you don't periodically experience one of those, you aren't being...

I dreamt last night that Minuend died. Can't remember the circumstances. Latte was sad.

Why do you need opinions, and what do you want them on? What sort of opinions? I think in general, opinions are gained through struggle, whether it's frustration in trying to meet a goal or suffering from having a part of you violated. You can't struggle without gaining a sense for what you do...

tldr: Hate them in my head, then get on with my general hate and try to inject a bit of good feels in any crevice I can find.

I've started seeing myself as a character my consciousness plays. It's weird but fun. Every now and then I'll dip out of being cheese and see my thoughts/feelings/beliefs as constraints placed upon this particular iteration of selfhood, and my consciousness as having to navigate the world...

Oh good. :)

Why on earth is it in a box and not in the trash, preferably another suburb away? Don't allow yourself small pockets of ambiguity and potential - get rid of it.

Yep. You have to be willing to make mistakes, which means you have to be willing to suffer. Just as importantly, you have to be willing to accept that your pain means something and maybe you shouldn't put your hand in the fire again - rather than letting someone talk you into it, allowing the...

Kindness. Used to admire intelligence more then I realised how little I respected people who were intelligent but horrible. I respected their minds but not the people they were. Kindness takes a great deal more effort to continuously practise in my experience.

I know, it's one of their less endearing qualities. :p I've gotten angry too. Definitely keeps me from wanting to go back for more. How do you play on their sympathy or conscience though?

I've discovered something useful: When I'm having a blah day with my pieces and am too apathetic to even stay in time, making Trump's face puts me right back in the zone. I guess angry entitlement lends itself to rhythmic vitality. I've been glaring at the piano like a belligerent but amorous...

^YES! THAT! It feels like you're not actually allowed to communicate directly with the people watching and that feels ridiculous, absurd, farcical and indecent. The whole time it's like engaging in a lie and pretending no one knows, like you've intentionally put yourself behind a transparent...

Hating your job IS hard to get past. Especially if sometimes you love it. Also it's really hard to see a doctor. Why is that? Is it because it's not a habit? I always restock the groceries/household goods on time, even though it's still a pain to have to go do it. But a doctor... I guess I can...

^Wow, ISTJ? If I were forced to guess (what you've come to think your type is, not necessarily your actual type) I'd go with ExFP, ExTP, ISFP or INFJ (accounting for the Se issues). We're on totally opposite ends here. Here're my thoughts: It's odd that you're asking here though if you're...

This gave me a bit of insight. I like long walls because I like reading. I read and type fast, so text-walls are both produced and digested easily. If they weren't I probably wouldn't do it as much because I'm fairly lazy, but it'd still happen a bit. I think there're probably two general camps...

Welcome Irinu. :D I don't know what type you are (I did read it all) but man I'd like to crumble a beautiful cookie all over some ice-cream right now. Reveal what you think your type is at some point! *edit Wait, Iririnu? I'm having some trouble with words. I can't see your name properly.

I find it very difficult to curtail my length as well (ladies). *just came back to edit in more words: More than half my posts end up saved somewhere rather than posted because they're too long.

Yeah, that sucks. Getting out makes sooo much difference. Maybe therapy helps too but I never tried that.

Yes to all of the above. I don't know what your situation is or how much of that applies, but hey - another psycho! :D I wonder how common these violence fantasies are. I don't recall anyone I've shared them with being shocked. Perhaps that's because violence is so prevalent? Almost...
