'I was just scrolling through instagram pics and had a sudden and long overdue epiphany: it's the dishonesty that annoys me so much.   The hypocrisy. The We're FAMILY so I have to say I love you to...|||This premature post spurred on by 5 weeks of almost total lack of sunlight.  http://www.chathamnc.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/BgUAHUfCYAAJJE--300x225.jpg|||https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/5531000064/h258500AE/|||Dystopian societies and anything future-oriented are considered sci-fi.   However, 'fantasy' -- which I really don't like --  is also under the sci-fi heading at amazon, so it's probably at least a...|||I had that issue a few months ago after I posted a picture as a link, I think, even after I deleted my post. Eventually the pages started showing again.|||You could talk about things that already interest her rather than trying to come up with a topic of your own. Ask her about what she's working on or ask her to discuss something she's reading.|||I think anyone has the right to ask whatever they want. I mean, that is the name of the thread and intent of the thread as I understand it.  That doesn't, however, imply that every asker will get...|||I'm seriously considering quitting a job that's been making me miserable for several years too many already... without another job lined up. Oy. Maybe it's finally time to take a chance and become...|||Sci-fi is my favorite genre (book, movie, tv show).|||There are so many things I'd like to do, if only my body would cooperate. :frustrating:|||I voted No. Even though the conditions were/are adequate for life to exist, almost (if not) all forms of life continue to evolve, so to me it isn't 'perfect', unless ideal is an ever-changing state...|||I used to serve as basically a therapist to several friends, and at some point with each of them, it did get to be intolerable. The same issues kept coming up, and then I'd hear the same complaints,...|||Relationship-wise, no, I rarely say anything. It's usually counterproductive to even suggest something is 'off' to someone in a relationship, imo. My daughter was dating someone I knew wasn't right...|||Holiday Photos: Recreating the Awkwardness  http://static.awkwardfamilyphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/cache/2014/12/image10-e1417815050190/1573086396.jpg|||https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfa1/v/t1.0-9/1781978_1018516648188916_2936412644457278602_n.jpg?oh=1961f5a79e23826655797b99a0e6fde4&oe=5514A9AD&__gda__=1426897819_9c483aab071c2de934...|||I like this! It's actually a good description of the functions and process.|||So are you thinking ENFJ, then?|||:D|||Nope, there was no C in my analogy.     Absolutely.|||Both are difficult! :laughing: Because the 4th function develops later, my daughter will probably continue to get easier to talk to/understand because of her Te (which facilitates communication)....|||Why doesn't matter for the sake of this analogy. As simply stated in my original post, you are at Point A and you want to get to Point B.   I still believe you'd wait for a perfectly designed and...|||I bet that was a fun conversation. I usually go the more indirect route: I stop answering the phone. After awhile they're forced to find a replacement therapist.|||No, I don't mind discussing it at all. (It seems odd to me that you wouldn't have a direct NF parent; I've been formulating a loose theory that type is inherited.)  Is there anything specific you...|||<double post>|||One of my all-time favorite photographs, by Brassai, who photographed life in Paris in the 1920s and '30s. I love the reflections in the mirrors around the cafe booth.  ...|||Lake Bell's In A World. Highly underrated, in my opinion, but then I enjoy 'quirky'. Plus, she did have a deeper message that probably was missed by most.|||Well, I'm sure you know more about your situation than anyone else, and you are really the only one who can decide if the good outweighs the bad. My daughter is INFP and while I can understand...|||Actually, you'd probably be surprised at how often the person in the role of Si Manager has to repeat herself, esp when dealing with an INFP and an INFJ with ADD. At least your mom probably doesn't...|||Faulting you? No, I'm not faulting you. Differences between types exist, if we accept the cognitive function stacks as they've been defined.  Second, I'm not sure exactly what your research is...|||I live with two NFs, and most of the responsibility for actual physical detail-type things falls on me, probably because I'm the only one with Te. Yes, @MisplacedElements it's rough. My dad is ISTJ...|||Ok, but see what I'm doing? I'm still trying to prove my original point (which I think this does); taking you back to my initial explanation of the differences based on this Point A to Point B...|||As far as enneagram type, I have no idea, but my daughter is dating an INTP.   (Send me your NTs! I'm very lacking; surrounded by NFs and SFs.)|||Umm... no. The desire to get to point B is internal. (I want to go there; it is my own set goal.) There is no external pressure, or in your case Fe outside motivation. Does anything change?|||Mostly on the PerC. :)|||https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10494753_10153043588660884_4915807282203953354_n.png?oh=c36b1f1dcaf15dc061c09cd26e53400b&oe=55143810&__gda__=1426405231_72f8646b0c061a81...|||:laughing:   How certain are you that you would actually set out in any direction at all? To me it seems you would stand at Point A and survey all the different possible routes and think of reasons...|||The INTP is prone to outbursts/defensiveness? It seems the INFP's inferior should help rather than hinder emotional processing. I can see ways they would be compatible, but the inferior Te for INFP...|||The reason has to do with Te vs Ti.  Say you are in a residential area at Point A and want to get to Point B, but there are no direct 'through' streets.   I know where I want to go, so I simply...|||This is a very concise and helpful bit of information.  Question: With an Fi dom (specifically INFP), what do you see as the main problem areas in a relationship with INTP, since the Fi seems to...|||To me this represents optimism: life, movement, water, outdoors, nature. Renoir's Luncheon of the Boating Party, my favorite from art history class. ...|||I agree -- it was like a door opened for me.|||I still have trouble understanding people's behaviors, although I'm much closer now than I was as a teen. I also spent a lot of time studying psychology. Now with MBTI and Jung's cognitive functions,...|||Are you asking what qualities we like/dislike about INTPs?  I think the Fe makes you much better at getting along with other humans, and makes INTPs generally likeable. Mostly I would be...|||Did you mean Ti Ne Si Fe? Because that sounds like way more Fe than I'm comfortable with.|||This has been a really interesting thread and discussion; I did some research on other intuition threads on the PerC and found this thread including Jung's own definitions of Ni (thanks @Octavian for...|||I hate football.|||Wow -- interesting!|||Your paragraphs on precognition sound particularly similar to my experiences.|||I'm married to an INFJ and he has a great sense of humor, so I'm not sure that's going to help you with typing.   Also, being introvert, INFJs still need their space and time away from others to...|||Hmmm.. maybe that's what I'm missing.'
