Don't know what that's like as I tend to fall in love with someone who demonstrates that they are not scared of me and show...|||Don't watch TV or play computer games or other distractions. You'll find yourself doing something else.  Perhaps ESTPs have this ability that they just have to NOT do what they don't want to do or...|||I feel like I just need to put myself out there, to shine and show who I am. I get really disappointed when it seems I haven't shown who I am (which I interpret as whenever I get negative feedback...|||Within limited resolution, there must be an actual perfect or best thing, that cannot be better. However we either don't know what it is, or can only imagine some aspects of it (for example...|||I find it difficult to forgive without taking the perspective that the offender is just ignorant.

For example in my world,...|||I suppose when people have impairments in something like empathy (either emotional or cognitive), they are often not viewed as human (or they even doubt their own humanity themselves, which can...|||This makes more sense now.

Usually the way INTJs do it seems to be they act immediately...|||So, it's pretty hard to tell for sure.

For example, you've seen something so beautiful you just think, that exists, therefore my life is complete. The mere fact that that beautiful...|||This was pretty good:-   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc_WhhecuGI|||Anthony Tony Robbins: Unlimited Power, because I saw a picture of someone reading it.  It's from 1986 when NLP was this snazzy new thing coming out, but it's great to explore the foundations of...|||I thought Ni-doms often like to win arguments, so maybe you should argue on the INTJ or INFJ fora? There are probably already all kinds of arguments going on there already which you can join (I...|||Now that I think of it this does make sense, ESFJs have the capability to be the coldest (ENFJs not quite because they have some part of them that wants to appeal to the masses whereas ESFJs may...|||I think it's just my iNtelligence :wink:  Of course I think sex is important but I've been frustrating myself too much about it from it being my life's purpose and not getting any, seemingly as a...|||Agreed - I think this is something about Ni that bugs me sometimes, as if they have to start off with an initial concept of who you are based on almost nothing (and which often we can see is...|||Absolutely!

So you know what Se is, but you might not be comfortable immersing...|||Better than how I could have said it.|||Thank you. I extracted the useful information.    Cool, obviously it was a joke but then again, I have everything on that list and it doesn't work. What works must be what GTBean said. Time to...|||That makes sense. Interestingly I've noticed the effect is stronger in people with auxiliary Te rather than dominant Te. Probably the people with dominant Te also see me as judgmental  or...|||http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntuqTuc6HxM|||A very good description. Some otherwise-good people keep accusing me of categorising, [over] analysing and judgmental and I just don't get it.

ISFJs may do similar things but don't let me know (though how would I know in that case? not certain on this point). Sorry.|||People who say everyone is selfish are essentially saying ego is all there is.  There is a thought experiment that can prove ego and selfishness is not all there is, though, which I call...|||One think I've always noticed with INFJ (and ENFJ) is they tell other people what I mean/think/feel, so when they're around, everyone's opinion of me is dictated by them. This usually happens before...|||Virtues, objective morality.

Sometimes it's mis-written do you spend more time alone or with people to which I would answer alone. But written the way above...|||I guess so. I was bullied quite a lot growing up and didn't want to use violence, plus didn't get taught self defence (and still don't have time for it).
