'What are your interests and hobbies? Philosophy, sports, travel, internet, television   What kind of food do you eat? Everything, not fussy. I try to get a lot of healthy unprocessed foods, but...|||I completely understand what you're saying. And having a ... fluid identity never used to bother me. But, I'm not sure if it's conducive to happiness or not. Temporary harmony and relief? -...|||When I younger, I felt like I wanted to be a person that has a lot of partners (16/17). Then, I went kind of nuts from about 18 - 24. Now I'm ashamed of how many I've had, especially considering some...|||Interesting, what do you think distinguishes emotions and feelings? I tend to use them interchangeably.|||Yep, you get it. I'm beginning to think it's unhealthier to continually fake, as for starters it's exhausting as we've said - but I also think it begins to make your real feelings harder to recognize...|||Haha. I actually did double take that as it looked a bit wrong, but decided to leave it in.|||I think everyone fakes feelings to a certain extent. Social niceties etc. But I've been reflecting on how I do it, and I think it's exhausting me, and making me stupider.  It's almost like a...|||Good post. Getting laid with someone you actually like solves most problems! and nice to see one of my INTP brothers found a beautiful ENFP to love him! Obviously we could be totally different, but...|||Thanks. But I think the problem is finding value. Everything seems to end in nihilism. This being the case, I look to emotions. I value happiness - and by extension I value positive relationships and...|||I'll try to keep this reasonably short and not overly self-involved, but it may come across that way.  Anyway, I have a great deal of anxiety and paranoia, and I think it relates to my identity....|||It's pretty much impossible to separate cultural influences from biology. I mean, you can argue things like men have more testosterone etc ... but you'll find that the extra testosterone manifests in...|||Men are kind of in a bind. We are, in many ways encouraged and rewarded by society to embrace our animal instincts (sports, business, love [most women tend to like a guy that's passionate] but on the...|||I can kind of relate. I was a pretty talkative, outgoing child. This lasted until around age 16. Conversation then was like catching a ball, for those that are good at sports. It's just instinct. You...|||Well, you can set up a tautology where everything is pointless, making both feeling and thinking equally useless.   But I think the idea is not that we should stop thinking, but that thinking has...|||x93Where am I, or what? From what causes do I derive my existence, and to  what condition shall I return? ... I am confounded with all these  questions, and begin to fancy myself in the most deplorable...|||Happy with the NTP, the I is a downer but I'm coming to terms with it.|||I just lack focus. So many things vying for my attention. Once I get started, I can still feel a desire to stop and do something else in the background. Every now and then I really get in the zone,...|||But saying there are no absolutes is an absolute in itself :O!!!111|||Absolutely.|||Writes thesis on antidisestabishmentarianism, can't work out where to hand it in.|||Schopenhauer Cure. Fictional story centred around addiction, Schopenhauers' pessemism, buddhism and group therapy.|||Yep, if I'm new somewhere my sense of direction is pretty bad. Eg I'll go to a bathroom where I've had to take a few turns & sometimes I'll walk out facing the wrong direction. I think it's the...|||Just turned 25. I can say that at the moment I'm trying to reconcile my emotions with my tried and true approach of (at least attempted) detached objectivity. I think this is common for people like...|||I'm horrible at guessing types but I'll take a stab - both probably ISxJ's.  I get along with Dad now that I don't live with him, mostly via sports. Otherwise we'd have little in common.  Very...|||It's not what I thought it would be as a child, but it's probably worth persisting with anyway.|||Love it! Reality has its ups and downs, but the dreamworld is always bliss for me. No anxiety, no problems, no stress ... ahhhhh yeah.|||If there's a page or two I'll read first. If there's more and I really wanna say something I'll just dive in ... then read the thread ... then normally find that what I've said has not only already...|||Growing up I valued athletics and sports over thinking. This normally brings you in contact with sensors and extroverts. These kind of people were my friends growing up, and have continued to be....|||Sounds like a typical corny fb post.  Anyway .. I guess you could say it's suggesting a person needs some basic maxims in place which they can use to judge whether something is right/wrong, true or...|||Getting home with no cars in the driveway is relieving, not dissapointing.  You live with others and they're often in their rooms, doors closed - you don't think they're unfriendly, you think it's...|||Everything is luck|||It's just wrong/that's just wrong (making a moral judgement). Man I hate when people do that.|||I make poor choices. Gamble stupid amounts, sleep with strange women, say thoughtless things. Behaviour that I always beat myself up over the next day when I think it over. God it's fun in the...|||I'm nice when someone approaches me - as in I'll smile, help, genuinely listen to what they're saying even if I'm not interested etc. Otherwise I think I come off as very aloof. I generally don't...|||I think it's more important that you see it as absolutely wrong.|||I've noticed this too. It's really frustrating. You can call them out on it but like you say, you'll just get a look of bemusement/puzzlement and they'll go on with the same behaviour. I don't know...|||Done|||I can't dance, but am pretty co-ordinated otherwise. I like contact and ball sports (no homo) which seems a little atypical for INTP.|||I usually just wear normal stuff, i.e jeans and a long sleeved top/coat in winter, shorts and a T-shirt in summer. No logos. But then I have my bad days where I just don't care, and I'll go out to...|||Lol'd at the living room. The way you describe it sounds very Epicurean, I like it.|||I think it's probably more the drug than the personality type. Ecstacy is awesome for pretty much everyone. I normally hate that suff (raves, festivals), but give me a decent pill & I'll dance all...|||When someone shows (in a tactful way, without being robotic and closed minded about it) that they've clearly considered and thought about something deeply it makes me really like them. General...|||Introverts can't break down my walls and I can't break down theirs. Neither person wants to invest a lot early on, neither person wants to look/feel needy and attached so we end up just not talking....|||I agree that societal pressures shape INTP females to be more feely and relationship oriented. The same could be said for INTP guys that grew up in a more popular kind of crowd that values...|||I never thought of it as an INTP trait, but I can add that I'm very vain.|||I think ENTP's are both charismatic and thoughtful, and it's the type I'd like to be, so my vote goes there.|||Sorry if there is a specific forum for this.  In a nutshell - she is quite social, has a lot of facebook friends and seems to enjoy (or at least presents herself as) enjoying group activities....|||Exercise, exercise, exercise|||Avatar. I tend to go from looking vacant with dead or confused eyes to big bright smiles, not much in between.|||Love this description.'
