You are equating success with being 'at the top'. Is that a perfectionist streak I detect? That alone will cause you all sorts of problems.  2. Do you equate people who are visible in given...|||ISTJ, ISTP.   Why?   In hindsight I'd say that on some level I picked up on their emotional unavailability and that felt safe.  At the time; they were both pretty fit (that didn't hurt), both...|||So? This seems a bit judgemental.  I remember you making posts earlier about wanting a company owned equally by the employees. Do you still want this? If so, then I stand by my earlier comments...|||As cynical as I am and as little as I like to mix with people, it would have to be the kid; even if it was some cheeky little shit I didn't like. Existence is everything to any given individual and...|||It's been a long time since I've read novels for enjoyment but used to read a lot. Favourite authors were Haruki Murakami, Toni Morrison and Salman Rushdie. Favourite books were The Bluest Eye,...|||This is not so much a venting post as a victory lap...maybe even a full on boast.  I've decided to indulge in it anyway since having a bit of a boast is a pretty rare thing for me. Hoping it will...|||Nothing to add here, really just a 'me too' post. Yes, I feel that while I'm drawing air, I should at least not be any sort of burden on anyone/society.  My experience with asking for help is that...|||https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn8phH0k5HI  Can't remember how to post these YouTube clips and no time to figure it out again.  Above link is to bedroom recording of 'Jungle' by Tash Sultana. It's...|||Just finished A Girl in Time by John Birmingham. Was a very entertaining escape. I suspect main characters are ISTP & INTJ|||I don't know about others but I don't think I have a depressive personality. No doubt many people who know me think I do, but that's because they don't really know me.  I am familiar with the...|||That sounds super inconvenient! :(  I was going to suggest using tools like Dragon Naturally Speaking and large touch screen computers if you enjoy working in an office. Otherwise, nothing comes...|||Amen to this!   Mine are: 1) low stress tolerance and the unfortunate habit of leaning on food (specifically iced coffee) to prop me up through the stress. 2) the inability to relax if I know...|||I'm guesssing you don't know any INTJs well. :) Self improvement (I.e. Real personal growth, not the rah, rah positive thinking stuff) and fixing problems seem to be popular to INTJs here and MBTI...|||lol!|||Also pretty much nothing. I figure there is probably something wrong with me. The upside is that I also don't 'feel' anything much when I know someone hates me.  I do 'feel' of course, but other...|||I love that everything is on YouTube! Less reason to have to talk to a real live person unless I really want to.|||Agreed on the blame thing, but fear of being a 'blamer' stopped me for many years from getting the professional help I desperately needed (though I didn't know it) and I suspect that is very common...|||That's an interesting perspective that had never occurred to me before.  The thing about try-hards though is that they are mocked because they are trying to be something they aren't. As long as...|||Well, I am sensitive to noise...and lots of visuals. So, that would account for a difference in communication style.  The fact that it doesn't feel inauthentic to you really is the crux of it, I...|||I am pretty sensitive to lots of noise and things going on around me. I can't switch 'processing' off, then go into overload and become exhausted and need to leave. When someone is speaking to me I...|||Have been feeling pretty bummed lately, like I'm stuck in a trap of my own making. Currently listening to a bit of Tim Minchin's un-PC, expletive laden, musical sarcasm: instant transformation....|||Stalk definition: to pursue or approach prey, quarry, etc., stealthily.  No, that's creepy. If someone sparks my interest I'd probably google/Facebook them to find out more about them but it...|||3 months outside a relationship. 5 years inside a relationship.|||Wow! No wonder you're such an angry guy.|||24.5ish|||At work. Always at work.|||Are there any ISTPs here who love their job? If so, what is it and what do you love about it?|||In the middle of an event or crisis I am turning things over in my head the whole time.  Once something is over though, it's over. No point in letting something that is in the past ruin the...|||Yes, I had this problem too. I'm not even that knowledgeable yet I have the most clue about what to do.  I'd like to automate things more in our business and have started looking into it. I've...|||Never heard of that before. Looks like fun.|||Anyone here code for work to make their jobs easier?  Specifically I am talking about people who don't do it for a living but use it to improve the efficiency/effectiveness of their main occupation.|||Very nice description. :)  I kind of think that this is what life actually is though. Maybe it's just the people I know but I don't know anyone who isn't fighting their own demons...also plenty who...|||I find ESFJs near impossible to read too. I know 2 women that I suspect are ESFJs. Unlike the one you know though, instead of the friendliness, it's the negative comments I find hard to figure out....|||Hehe...No positive emotion tells?|||Agreed. However... - there is only so much you can educate yourself on while still trying to make a useful contribution to society work wise and socially. We are all ignorant about something.  -...|||Haircuts with David Mitchell (relatable)  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rWEa5__ROJg  Boob signing with David Mitchell (laughed out loud)  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6b22NhbezwY|||Thanks for your input. I actually like being left to figure things out on my own, feels too smothering otherwise. I tend to leave people to figure out their own stuff too as it seems like the polite...|||What do you do when your significant other is feeling down or upset? Are you available to talk or comfort if needed or do you have more of a batten down the hatches and wait for it to pass kind of...|||Option 1 and 2 aren't mutually exclusive. Exquisitor's advice was good.  I've never been all that courageous when it comes to making the first move and many of the things you have listed as mixed...|||I've never really made that much of an effort presentation wise. Always hated fluffing around with clothes and make up and frankly never really knew what I was doing anyway, it was just never within...|||I was on the other side of that. My best friend was the measuring stick and I never beat her (no pun intended!). Every report I brought home, parents would ask what did BF get?, followed by a look...|||Well if this isn't the most entertaining thread I've read in a while!  Confession 1: I've escaped the office in the middle of the afternoon because the noisy helplessness was getting too much....|||Current goal: 6 hour work day for our company within next 12 months. Step 1 - convince business partner it's a fabulous idea!|||That's the way to do it. Frankly, as long as the rent is being paid and the property is being looked after properly the agent doesn't care.|||Yes, this is a very familiar cycle for me. The more stellar the day/accomplishment, the deeper the ditch seems to be on the other side.  It's never really put me off chasing my goals as I think of...|||Not me. It's not that I subscribe to the outdated notion that men should ask women out; I just haven't had the courage. The only conscious influence I have is to discourage people (who I am not...|||The Professional (Leon) Napoleon Dynamite'
