'This is mostly directed at the INTP's I suppose but I wanted to see everyone else has to say.  I'm pretty certain of my own life philosophy, have been for about as long as I've actually thought in...|||Just tell him. INTP's aren't notoriously good at nonverbal communication.|||High school was awful for me. College was better for a variety of reasons, but I've found school environments and I just don't get along.|||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGWcLg4QlKQ  This song's been stuck in my head all day. Funnily enough.|||Only pseudo-intellectuals go around accusing others of pseudo-intellectualism.|||CO here too, I'm not even that into beer but I can appreciate the variety and quality of all the local breweries.  My personal poison is imperial stouts. A lot of bars don't seem to have them on...|||Another wave of depression, making me feel bad about things I'm normally fine with. Thought the pills were helping. Maybe it'll be better tomorrow.|||Being old doesn't make it irrelevant. Creating a new thread on the exact same topic would just create more clutter.  Also I wasn't looking at dates.|||On and for a couple years. I took it fairly seriously but based on hearsay it sounds like the best way to go about it is as aloof as possible. Still awaiting confirmation of provenance.    I went...|||I've felt as if I'm borderline sociopathic at times and I would be lying out of my ass if I said it didn't negatively affect my ability to maintain a relationship. I'm also 95% sure I have some form...|||I would say that any perceived bias against Christians is simply due to the fact that a forum such as this is frequented by people who tend to question rather than accept things unquestioningly....|||a) What phone model do you use? Samsung Galaxy S4. Not a huge fan, screen's too big and the battery life sucks.  b) How do you hold your phone normally? One hand, touching with my thumb.  c)...|||Shame is learned. As a child I would frequently make a fool of myself and not give a damn who saw. Later in life I would not only be too self-conscious to act much of the time, I would also mentally...|||I occasionally talk to myself, usually just vocal reminders as I'm buying groceries or yelling at my computer. I think I used to do so much more, but that's been relegated to very frequent, very...|||INTP's are frequent watchers of anime, and L is one of the extremely few characters in any form of media that is both somewhat well-known and an INTP. He embodies the spirit of absurd overanalysis of...|||I frequently lose track of the day, time, date, month, year, my age, gender, family, location, how long I've been awake, what I'm doing.... et cetera. When I get absorbed in something I easily detach...|||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHYIGy1dyd8|||People are frustrating, bureaucratic BS is frustrating, being confined to one location is always frustrating. I seek escapism until it passes but that only works for so long. But it sounds like you...|||Thinking about sex and relationships and why they are supposedly such a big deal, and why I can't just have a week where my own personal feelings on such remain both consistent and not-depressing. ...|||A Cremator from the pre-release versions of Half-Life 2, because I love that game and its universe, and I thought it was cool.|||To not again devolve into a depressive lump that can't function properly because my emotions are overruling my rational mind.  That'd be great.|||Detective    Carefree? What?  Otherwise that's pretty accurate, which is strange, because I thought the test had some really out-there questions.|||I'm fascinated by people. My one greatest desire to is be able to probe others' minds, see who they truly are. In theory this is accomplished simply by talking to them, but that requires a level of...|||Right now, nothing different. I don't have any strong desire to live past 40, and knowing death was coming sooner than later might be a small relief. Once I hit 25-ish I might start to focus on...|||Should probably be happiness but experience has shown that clearly isn't the case. It could be to learn everything I possibly can but in the end that's just masturbation and won't be worth anything...|||I think this is part of my problem as well. Consciously I acknowledge that if I talk to enough people I'm probably going to hear enough interesting stories to justify the effort, but when it actually...|||Some people have apparently found me irresistible but only after actually getting to know me, which takes forever and happens never. Need to figure out how to channel that to my external personality.|||I communicate via text (e.g. internet) the way I wish I could communicate in person: articulate, thoughtful, although I think I come across as too formal sometimes. That said I much prefer...|||I hate who I was as a child but at least I was less self-conscious. I think I've always been bad with people, though whether that's due to nature or nurture I couldn't say. But it would make sense if...|||I'm assuming that by lie you mean actual lies about stuff that matters. I don't think this has ever really happened to me but I would probably start by questioning their motives before deciding...|||I dated one INFP and had a massive crush on another so I can attest to their adorableness. I think it's the rampant emotionalism that confounds and enthralls me at the same time.|||... Huh? I love Steam, I don't know whatchu talkin' bout, Willis. Never had issues with it. Besides, Steam has very little to do with the quality of the games on it, and even less to do with the...|||Only two people have ever truly pissed me off, and in both cases I came within an inch of getting up and stabbing them repeatedly with whatever was nearest to me. If I were ever pushed to the...|||Subjective, and not quite what I meant, although I do agree. My point was that, sex being what it is, the only people who can't understand why it's so important to human society are those who derive...|||Spoken (well, written) as only a vehement asexual could possibly believe.|||Highly confrontational. You can't be INTP.|||I don't understand. Shepard isn't a real character, his / her personality is completely defined by your actions. What is there to miss? The ME universe is still the ME universe. Just a different...|||I only bought Dishonored and Bioshock. I don't like to buy random games, even dirt cheap, unless I get a recommendation first.|||I can't speak for others, but I don't normally express my emotions unless I'm really, really depressed. Which is relatively often. And then I vent at one of my friends until I'm satisfied. But if...|||I had sex with a friend once just to see what casual sex was like, and determined that I have zero interest. Generally speaking I don't really care about sex, I see it as a way to pass the time or a...|||1. No. I don't do weddings.  2. The paint has to be something toxic. I doubt it would work though, given that Westboro Baptist Church followers don't read the Bible.  3. Two slices of the same...|||Socialism is anything between communism and capitalism, though for some reason most people seem to assume it's synonymous with communism. Pure communism and pure capitalism don't work on a societal...|||I've experienced anything from slight loss of interest in my normal activities to completely losing the desire to do anything at all, so I would just lie in bed and sleep the day away. Depression...|||Purely romantic stuff, no. It is interesting to me, probably because it engages my emotions in some way, but I can't stand a purely romantic work. There needs to be something else there or it's just...|||I find that my thought patterns are greatly influenced by the people I talk to and think about. As in, among a certain crowd (in this case, other INTPs) I find myself relying less and less on...|||If I were to kill myself, my suicide note would simply say, I'm fucking sick of this shit.|||http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/photo/a44879y_700b_v1.jpg|||I've got plenty of hypothetical conversations mapped out in my head and if pressed I'm sure I could chat up any given hot girl without breaking down. The problem is I lack the motivation to do so...|||I swear there's an ESTP locked in my head but the INTP is too self-conscious to let him out. I could use a mental prybar too.|||When you don't have a goal or a plan, but if you did have a goal you could plan the shit out of getting there.    If one sentence could summarize my entire perspective on life, it would be this...'
