'I'm going to leave most of this out of context because it's funnier.  Other INTJ: I only meant that fickle opinions on citrus use is not a common thing to hear.  Me: I am nothing if not a...|||Learning to play this pretty little mandolin I got recently. I just started watching The Wire for the first time. Also mac and cheese pizza, because comfort food is better than crying myself to...|||These guys lived in the room next to me. These guys would get drunk at 8 am on a Saturday and wake me up through the walls. :angry:|||This is my life, I wish I was better at it but I think I'm just too much of a type 9.  When I was a freshman I was in an engineering program and lived on a dorm floor of engineering students. As is...|||... Can't actually tell if you're serious or not|||See the problem is that we're used to being right like 95% of the time :wink:  In all seriousness I don't usually get upset when I'm proven wrong, or at least I try not to. Before I even get into a...|||I triple dare you!|||Does anyone here play minesweeper?  Is anyone here truly obsessed with minesweeper like I am? This is an outgoing challenge to beat my best time of 104 seconds on expert.  Beat it, I dare you.|||If there was any doubt about how introverted I am (there was never any doubt) there isn't right now. I spent the weekend being all social and doing Halloween things with my friends, something I do...|||Are you going to eat at a water park?|||I think when starting a friendship with the opposite gender it's really important to acknowledge your own personal intentions. If you want to be a friend, go into things with the mindset that you're...|||Ever since I was a kid I was partial to the idea of mood rings (if they actually worked) because how cool would it be if people could read my emotions without awkwardly trying to communicate them?...|||I guess I have something to add to this discussion.  My closest friend of many years now is female (ENFP), and as far as I'm concerned our relationship is everything a platonic male-female...|||@james087 just out of curiosity what do you study or what is you career?     I love the brain, neuropsych is my favorite concentration within psychology, so don't feel bad that brain damage is...|||Heh, I do research for a professor whose area of study is cognitive development, so I'm exposed to a lot of stuff like this. :tongue:  The disorder you're referring to with damage to the amygdala...|||When I was commuting like 3 hours a day I would get highway hypnosis nearly every trip while I listened to my podcasts or NPR or whatever.  Otherwise I'm pretty aware of my surroundings.  I have an...|||More than we consciously realize as it turns out. I was just reading a study about flirting (not because of this discussion, I kind of just stumbled upon it) that showed people are more likely to...|||March into his dorm and say hi. Seriously. Ask him if he wants to get some lunch with you if your schedules line up, get coffee, something casual at first. Get his number the next time you see him if...|||Human mating rituals are just so strange. I can't help but feel like it doesn't need to be this complex; switch a few words in and out and you could have easily just described a fencing match.   ...|||The vending machine appears to be in full working order but won't accept my quarters. I need chocolate so bad right now this is no joke, I'm seriously pissed.|||I literally have no idea what flirting is at this point, hence the quotation marks when I talk about how I flirt. I guess I'm not so oblivious as uninformed.   I do what I'd like people to do...|||Ha, if you wait for an INTJ to chase you, you're going to wait quite a long time. The fact that he wants you around and is asking to do things with you is all you need to know right now, it might be...|||I don't blame it on Se, I blame it on 14 year old me. I seriously had the biggest crush on this ENFP girl my freshman year of high school. I was also incredibly clueless at this time as to how to...|||Well in my experience the games go pretty quick, though I'd like them to be longer. There's really no chance to do behind the scenes strategizing and body language and tells become pretty important....|||I ordered a mandolin on impulse yesterday.

I'm asexual, and now you're all aware!  In all seriousness I've met several asexuals on this site and more people are learning about themselves now more than ever. I...|||I don't think I've met anyone that's done something irrevocably hurtful without it being a patterned behavior, and I steer clear of these people at all costs. I don't know how I'd react, but I'd...|||What exactly is meant by different styles of communication?|||I'm not super anal, but I have systems for arranging a lot of different things. Do NOT rearrange my things, they are precisely where they need to be.|||Sometimes I find the library is a little too quiet to do work in and I don't like feeling so isolated, so I go to the lounge in the building where all the ASL students hang out. It's great, just a...|||Basically the INTJ  https://scontent-a-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/10574305_721736094548146_5033188768219090998_n.jpg?oh=e9a585a3c97e8a2a0c83a5ed0b886f65&oe=54E87174|||I started working for a professor in his psychological research group not too long ago, and today is the first day I'm running subjects for data. This feels unreal, like I'm reaching some goal I...|||I do, but it's kind of just a game to me trying to figure out who's who. The reason I keep my gender as neutral (I'm a male, shhhh...) is because I like the idea of other people doing the same to me...|||Dabbling in case it wasn't clear I was making a jokey generalization more than anything. And the origins of my name are somewhat lost to me at this point. I've always written OwLY with a lowercase w,...|||Well to use the analogy that INTJs are robots, it's only logical that some of us would become aware and adapt to our environments. Like a self learning AI with a fleshy exterior.|||Out of all the friends I've made, a majority are INTPs (INFPs being second). Can't say I've ever felt intimidated, being around them is just what I'm used to. The one thing I will point out though is...|||It sounds to me like you just know how to push his buttons. In this context it probably is kind of adorable, if he can laugh about it instead of getting frustrated, that's a good thing. Personally, I...|||What kind of grouchiness? I think often times INTJs could be incorrectly perceived as pessimistic negative Nancys when we may just feel like we're pointing out the obvious.|||Stayed up late studying for a test. Get up early to study for a test. Get to class ready for a test. Find out said test is actually two weeks from now.  Time to reset the brain, my Se is...|||Awww my friends are growing up, after fives years of knowing them we finally had baby's first debate on existentialism. I'm so proud I could be the one to inflict such emptiness into their lives....|||I'm currently taking an elementary logic course here at school. I might just be a little immature but I can't help but giggle a little inside when my teacher uses the abbreviation ass for the word...|||Have you confronted her? I only ask because I'm a straight up chicken when it comes to confronting people. The fact that I'm a type 9 explains a bit though.|||I've had chronic insomnia for about 5 years now. I know all the tricks in the book to handle it, (e.g. good sleep hygiene, not napping, no caffeine, teas and rinks, etc.) and I still get wicked sleep...|||Honestly whether or not I feel someone is worth debating is almost entirely intuition. Are they belligerent? Do they appear to be actively listening to other people? Are they deliberating or navel...|||I find online dating very appealing, there's something about being judged on a description of personality rather than my deceptively 'cold' default state that just makes more sense for me. I received...|||Blech... Don't listen to anyone that says you shouldn't pursue someone based on type.   For starters, let him know that you are genuinely interested in getting to know him. Make yourself distinct...|||Cooking is kind of a new hobby for me, mostly vegetarian food though I eat plenty of fish too. It helps that my new apartment is a block away from a Whole Foods which consistently blows my mind. If I...|||An INFJ apologizing to INTJs for being cynical?

I don't know how she finds me so charming.'
