I live on the outskirts of the downtown in a small, university city (we affectionately...|||I have made a living of the arty things I produce several times in my life, but find it very difficult to sustain for any length of time as it requires a LOT of putting myself out there and gets...|||For me, it's an awful lot like this love letter from Jean-Paul Sartre to Simone de Beauvoir. Especially this quote:  “I am mastering my love for you and turning it inwards as a constituent element...|||I relate to this in big ways. I'm always trying to do little things for my loves (romantic or otherwise) to remind them that I adore them. I have quite a few relationships that I consider intimate,...|||I got an oblique strategy app for my phone and have a lot of fun with it :)|||Hmmm...not really. If anything, I'd say I've had a hard time staying/getting out of relationships that were train wrecks. Kind of odd because I do enjoy my alone time a lot, but I have had several...|||tuckus.|||I think you're rockin' both looks. I have beard envy. Seems like facial hair would be fun play with in terms of styles.|||brie, stoned wheat crackers, green grapes and pistachios.|||Hmmm...this sounds pretty familiar to how I have felt when visiting family.

In all of the years that we lived together, I couldn't quite get through to them that right after work was not the time to...|||Yup. I definitely see the connection. Feel similarly about Fleet Foxes. They have a similar vibe.|||I'm pretty expressive. To a fault sometimes (I had the CEO of the company I work for call me into his office one day after laying a bunch of people off - not a good feel - and I got in, sat down and...|||I think this is something a lot of people, women in particular, deal with. Emoting is just not something that is encouraged and that's really sad because we never really learn the skills to do it in...|||It sounds like, if you truly *want* to get on better with Ts, you need to do some work on grounding yourself.   I get on pretty well with most Ts (there are some exceptions, but I'm entirely...|||tell me you don't all relate to this and I'll eat my first born ;)   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_qZ5B-yioU|||so damned perfect.   http://vimeo.com/73479902|||DO IT! It's SUCH a rush. It's not difficult to get into, but like most hobbies, it can get spendy.

A baby who NEEDS us! My sister is 2 years and ten days younger than I. Apparently I was a...|||Well, I'm a femme INFP and I kinda love fast anything. I'm not at all au fait with the car world or what's under the hood of anything, but I love going fast and the dichotomy of being behind the...|||I've never been called gentle as such, but have been called a million things that add up to that term. I tend to be the pied piper of dogs, cats and small children. Folks tend to feel very...|||Advice? No, not as such. I am happy to listen and lend perspective to situations, but it's very, very rare for me to outline a solid path for someone (mostly because I really hate it when people do...|||Hmmm...I think about this a lot, especially as I did end up cheating on an ex and feel horrible for it. I've since learned that I am capable of romantic love for more than one person at a time,...|||o.O|||I had a pic of me with a bag over my cast from broken ankle days, but cannot find it :( I've totally done plastic bags with rubber bands for festivals and such, though. They work splendidly!|||I broke my ankle in the winter, so my go-to everyday footwear is a pair of Steve Madden brogue-styled boots like these, but in black.|||My BFF of 29 years is ISFP and, while we get on really well for the most part, we definitely have a lot of differences. She is definitely the first person I go to for most of my problems, but I've...|||I would never claim to know someone better than they do themselves, but using what others have already stated, along with my seemingly inherent curiosity and drive to 'get' people, I'm a pretty quick...|||This is such a great thread and so many wonderful insights have been provided. Kudos to the original poster :)  My 5 cents:  Travel. Alone, if possible, but do it any which way. Nothing will help...|||2 pair of jeans as I was out of long pants as my puggle ate the crotches out of ALL OF THEM. 2 bottles of wine. 1 bottle of whiskey. smoked paprika. french lentils. 9 frames for paintings/photos.|||I sing a lot when I'm at home and I've been known to break into song when a song fits a situation (almost always), but I am pretty self-conscious about it. I don't do it mindlessly, though I always...|||Such a great TED talk. I had the pleasure of going to an AFP concert back in the fall and it was so much fun. She really does still connect with her fans (check out her twitter TL to get good for...|||Mine are what I oh-so-flatteringly describe as 'split pea soup green'. I had to get ID'd for something the other day and they needed my eye colour. Upon taking my glasses off, the admin was like...|||Yuss! I so often feel somewhat overwhelmed with passion and really don't know what to do with it all. I somehow see a passion party among a bunch of INFPs devolving into some kind of awkward orgy,...|||I think that's kinda true. I don't think it needs to be excruciating to you...and I say this as a fellow INFP who has wrangled an INTP or six. But yes, leaving that welcome mat down for him to step...|||I know you're asking for insight more from INTPs, but I just wanted to address this bit. For the first part of the question, I would say that you should hold off. Having that conversation right now...|||I'm bored. What in the actual fuck? Get a grip on your life and go make me a sandwich. Better yet, make a sandwich and go for a walk and give that sandwich to the first person you meet begging in...|||Unless you are one of my sprogs, sibs, or BFFs, do not pull at, put things in, mess with my curls in any way. You will likely get hit or bitten.  Do not presume that what is good for you is good...|||You've already told him to stay away. Someone in their right mind would respect that. You have every right to talk to the school and the authorities about that.|||THIS!

After the baby-daddy and I split, he tried to...|||I've been keepin up with the contents of this thread and chewing on them for some time as something about it has been nagging at me, but I've finally clued into what it is. The title is about near...|||Because my mum studied psychology when I was a child, I got tested a lot. Back then, I scored between 130-140 mostly, but as an adult, I've scored as low as 106 and as high as 160. All legit, timed...|||I have had several near misses. Rather unfortunately, most were with men who I thought were friends. Even more unfortunately, many were with men who were the partners of friends. I can definitely...|||Attention is just something I've had to deal with, as opposed to something to be sought or to hide from. My family is pretty well-known in my province (and there are MANY members of my family)....|||Yes. I've had both happen and have no regrets. Love pretty much always means learning and growing in my world.    Those are both pretty relative and subjective. I've been with people who are more...|||google image search holding hands. so lovely.'
