Since there isn't currently a one way women work, you're free to create a female character how you like - and I don't mean that in a dismissive way. This would be a problem if you wanted to make something like a believable and realistic modern fisherman, and needed to find technical and...

I'll quote... "[name] is a computer!" - ENTP "Like I said, you're more reserved than most girls... but not cold, not at all." - Friend "You little wankers!" - A middle school teacher

I can't stand my birth culture (USA) and plan to emigrate after college, probably to Japan since I already have two high school friends who've made that transition. What is "completely influenced," though?

I think it's more that the options of things like peace, forgiveness, and a new relationship with the abusers only become available after the rest has been processed and occasionally only if life allows. They're the final phase of an ideal path to recovery. Unfortunately, many neither know how...

In context it's step 500, not step 1 as people would like for it to be.

Ideals are alive and well. It's just that many of them are terrible and counter-productive when applied to reality, such as the obsession with sweeping negative emotions under the nearest rug and cramming artificial positivity down the individual's throat. Watch child abuse victims, adults in...

Impossible. If there were that many whiny INFPs here this forum would have a dozen 8-page threads of me arguing with them.

Sounds like my life. That feeling that starts as a little nagging in the back of the mind when things get quiet that everything is shit and the only reason you couldn't smell it is because you were too busy shoveling.

Sleep lost: none.

Brains are shit. Trick yours into doing what you want.

I'm hardly here at all, but I'd be glad to discuss sometime.

I wouldn't know how. I'm just a blunt clutz who expects others to alert me if a discussion without tone or nonverbal expression becomes about how I'm saying something and not what I'm saying. We spent an hour arguing the what before it became about me being a sociopath. :p

What exactly is frustrating about it? I infuriated three INFPs on the Internet in one argument, but I'd like an opinion not coming from a hornet's nest right now. :o

Break it apart and break it down. Half of everything in many textbooks is useless, anyway.

Also an aspiring writer. A book a month seems a little intense, but if they caught any attention at all that sounds like a strategy with potential. This article was written for people who want to write fiction for a living, which is not only so sought-after as to be a cliche but difficult in...

We don't use what we learn because either we have terrible teachers or we don't have the learning style and mental abilities their teaching style caters to. In my case I was first not taught any theory when theory was needed, and then had a bunch of vague silliness and metaphor heaped on me when...

Why? I come back to this forum after it being down and one of the first things I see is that damn avatar at 2 a.m.

My genres aren't listed. :confused:

Almost reminds me of: 1) Social anxiety 2) Knee-jerk defensive response to the unknown as possibly unsafe, which for me was rooted in childhood

What are you afraid is going to happen?

The problem with using things like standard courses of actions, scripts, etc, for social interactions is that they're unpredictable, contextual, cultural, veiled, and sometimes other things, and only get worse when they're created by people with a poor understanding of social settings and other...

I'm actually in agreement with OP. What do I lose with age? Sex appeal, fertility, mobility, and metabolism, mostly. The only one I value is my mobility, but I can preserve quite a bit of that by taking good care of my body. Age brings with it the cliches in addition to the fruits of anything...

You guys really like that elephant smiley.

Type One: 33 Type Two: 12 Type Three: 17 Type Four: 14 Type Five: 30 Type Six: 44 Type Seven: 17 Type Eight: 14 Type Nine: 23

I'll calm down when it's time for pillow talk with the dessert, thank you very much.

Narcissism 2.5 55.8 Machiavellianism 1.5 16.6 Psychopathy 0.9 13.3 Well... these kinds of things are actually true. :confused:

I think the better question is: what's still good and where do you have to look to find it? Between wannabe anime and the need to be as inoffensive as possible most cartoons and... animations (emissions?) that are readily available are lacking. My generation made fun of our beloved 1990's...

I wanted to be a paleontologist or a vet.

If it wasn't MBTI, it would probably be something else.

My bad.

Why programming? This seems to be a very common choice with people who want to do more with computers (or people who discover they're INTP, apparently), but it's not for everyone. If you don't love it for what it is, you're not using it to make something you love, and you're not making good...

If you know you're biased, then you can pick and choose what to accept as biases and what to accept as a solid judgment or reason to act. The brain is a lying, fear-mongering little brat. This was a problem for me early on, but I tried to quash it because it made me easily misled and...

Well...

Context? My immediate suggestion is "facts" and "leave the emotions out of it or we won't trust you", but I get the impression you've been trying and it isn't working. Compromise might be the only outcome.

Anything is better than my generation and school's solution of re-reading the directions...

My peers are more mature than they were in high school, but I don't really have a social life. My bad. I don't go to parties, drink very much, or have an eye on the hotties, and I only sometimes talk to people and make friends. I guess I was bored of it by the end of high school. I'm learning...

People choose what they want to be and what they want to believe. Until and unless you control what they want, you'll never control what they are. Much more efficient to just lock up your emotions and sanity in a little box and swallow the key.

1. Are you a vegetarian / vegan, or do you eat meat? I'm a vegetarian eating very little when it comes to other animal products. It's in the early stages. 2. What are your reasons to support whichever one you are? I felt silly arguing against forms of animal cruelty such as puppy mills while...

Everyone LARPing loses.

What were they?

In Asperger's it's not so much that they won't look you in the eye or smile as a child, it's why they won't and what is or isn't going on behind the scenes. You don't "recover" from Asperger's. You learn coping methods.

If I had to pick someplace to live out my days, I'd like to move into the city - but you'll pry my work from my cold, dead hands. I'm always fascinated by the architecture and design when I do go into big cities, it's where all the interesting things I use for writing inspiration happen, and...

What is your type? Thought INFJ for awhile, but it's most likely IxTJ. Hell if I know right now. Do you enjoy arguing/debating/sharing/or anything? Why? The only one I actually enjoy is sharing, and that's in part because it's easy. I'm not very social or interested in others by default, but...

When focusing on T/F, don't confuse the Feeling functions with being just another way to say "emotions without rhyme or reason". It's also about values, ethics, etc.

If I play this game, I'm probably going to wind up messing with that little robot at 0:34 all night. My first thought was, "God it's cute, can I shoot it?" I always look forward to horror, though.

What is your name? Katherine. Where are you from? Minnesota, Twin Cities area. How old are you? 24. What's your gender? Ladyperson. How did you find out that you were INTP, or other type? An online friend (INTP) introduced me to MBTI and some of the online tests. After a few months I settled...
