'Did you happen to see Khaleesi on the bus, by any chance? ;)|||I just need to get this off my chest.  I need to withdraw from everything right now. My mind has exhausted itself over -thinking everything in my life. The people in my life are draining me. I am...|||You're the only person I've ever told that to.|||Just my two cents, since I started this thread and haven't checked back in for a while.  I originally wasn't sure what type Taylor Swift was- after looking into her as a person more, and after much...|||Wow, this was very helpful and has help me put some things in perspective. Thank you.   I ended up apologizing to her because I had realized that I hadn't validated her apology (which sounded very...|||I haven't talked to her still. My brother is just returning from not being able to have contact because of his job. He got back tonight. So I'm giving it time for them to ride out their own thing and...|||Summary:   Best friend is an ENFP-7. She is functioning at a low level and started acting out in insensitive ways that were hurting my feelings. I confronted her kindly and told her that her...|||Pin a whole bunch of quotes. Eat chocolate. Lots of chocolate. Listen to Taylor Swift. Write songs. Read my Enneagram books. Analyze it 1000x over.  I'm doing this right now, actually.|||I've been coming back and lurking here and there... two kids under two right now, so my life is a little hectic! :)|||As a pessimist, I dream up every possible negative outcome, and yet I'm surprised any time if one actually comes true, because I'm, paradoxically, still an eternal idealist.   Shower Thoughts from...|||Interesting- so am I understanding correctly that you tend to specialize (characteristic of Type Fives) in physical experiences (Se)? I hadn't thought about how those two things would work together...|||My goodness, it's like reading a post from Past Me. How strange!  My husband is an ENTP, and we have had a very rocky relationship with his very manipulative/controlling mother (who is an ESTJ) and...|||reckful - Thank you for your thorough and thought-provoking input! I really appreciate it. Lots of good stuff to consider. You are right, I was a little overstretching in saying it was Jung's theory-...|||Well, that's really interesting! What function do you think you use primarily? Your profile says you're an INTP- do you identify with being a Ti-dom? Or does the Ne-dom description ring a bell? I...|||Thank you! I'm happy you found it to be accurate.  My husband is an ENTP-3, and although he was very loud and social in adolescence, he has calmed down a lot as he's matured, and it's been a journey...|||Yes, that was my only intention- to cover the energy source. Because the goal was to actually only address the definition of extroversion and introversion, not to talk about the traits that come from...|||It sounds to me like you already know how you feel about the job, so I won't bother you with that analysis. :) But I think that you should remember that, ultimately, YOU are in control of this...|||That's very interesting. Well I wish you the best of luck in your self-discovery. :)|||I think that it would be really beneficial for you (for anyone, really!) to read up on the cognitive functions more in depth. It is incredibly enlightening, I think, and it gives you a much more...|||I'm sorry, you're right- that was misleading wording. I didn't mean to say that you actually have to literally change the brain. I meant it figuratively. Also, like I mentioned earlier in the thread,...|||TigerFella - it sounds like what you are describing is more of a theory based on your own personal experiences, which, obviously, I can't speak to, as I am not you! But I encourage you to look more...|||I don't think you've misunderstood what I've written! :) I think that you are right that how much someone desires personal connection with others is a T/F distinction. I think, additionally, it is...|||Okay, I think you're right. I'm going to mull it over and think of how I can better convey that point. Thanks for your input!|||You know, I think that it might look this way on the surface, but it really isn't quite so simple as that. For instance, let's say an INFJ switches into an INFP. This means that the Introverted...|||You know, I don't really know the answer to that. I mean, I'm not sure how to say who is best at things, because when it comes down to it, two people may come to the same conclusion (or gut feeling),...|||I was going to ask if you were an ESTP, and then I saw that you were! Haha. :)   So what you're describing is what I was hoping to convey with the way that certain extroverts (Se-doms) need to...|||Definitely!  This post isn't aimed at people who have a deep understanding of personality theory- just people who know the basic idea of extroversion and introversion. So I was hoping that this...|||I'm actually really interested to hear about this, as I got that description from one of my books. How does thinking out loud translate for you? What do you do to process externally? My husband is...|||Hm, I'm not sure where you're misunderstanding what my written definition is. Maybe you can explain to me why it reads like I'm saying something different?   From the blog post:  Just like...|||Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but it sounds like you are actually talking about some of the misunderstandings I was hoping to discuss in the post. The thing is that extroversion and...|||Exactly! I think if you really look into how different each of the functions are, and view it not as E or I, or N or S, and so on, you understand that type isn't so fluid. It's not something...|||I think everyone has a gut feeling sense, but yes, it is related to how you function.   In terms of an Ni-dom, the person will use introverted intuition first to filter in every piece of...|||Hi everyone!   I have a blog post about extroversion that I thought might be interesting to discuss.   House of Doig: Extroversion: What It Does (And Doesn't) Mean  Extroverts, does this ring...|||Yeah, I've run into it quite a bit! I thought it was interesting, though, to see other introverts labeling themselves in those ways, too. Unfortunately, I think the terms extrovert and introvert...|||I haven't really even been on here to do post much in the last year or two, but I forgot how much it helped me to get things off of my chest and to get my mind off of things....  I just got caught...|||Do you think INFJ's have overzealous ideals in their heads ?  I think INFJs can be idealistic, but it's not inherent to the type. When  healthy and developed, Ni-dom is used to gather patterns from...|||Highly Sensitive People are mostly introverts, and a high percentage of that group are introverted intuitive dominants. That being said, INFJs and HSPs are not interchangeable. There are highly...|||Hi INFJs,  I wrote a post on introversion, and thought it might be of interest to this venue.  I think there's a lot of misconceptions (among both introverts and extroverts) as to what...|||I am literally on the verge of tears from exhaustion over conflict. I am sick and tired of disagreements. Of people not seeing how wrong they are and thinking I'm crazy. I know that the conflicts are...|||How do you deal with people who are stubbornly rooted in their opinions, no matter how irrational?   I know that I am an opinionated person. I'm not very vocal about that, but I do have some very...|||I think I'll change my job title to verbal trash receptacle, because it seems my purpose in relationships these days is just to sit there while people throw their crap at me.   BEING A GOOD...|||Thank you :)   My husband has been really supportive. Honestly, my best friend has tried to be supportive too, but she is unmarried and has never been pregnant, so it's hard for her to really...|||On Halloween, I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. They call it a chemical pregnancy when it's so early, which so kindly diminishes the fact that it's still a miscarriage.   My cousin just announced...|||Cool, why?  What does it mean to be an extrovert? Where do you see the Fe-Dom?   Was that a secret that you don't speak English well? Sorry. I was just curious because of your sometimes strange...|||No, I don't have any idea what you're alluding to.  What is your native language? English clearly is a second language to you.|||I don't know, I feel like he could do better. I mean, I have ALL of my personality types listed in my sig. You could easily just take the basics of each and nail each stereotype in the head.  If...|||Haha nice. Do you feel better, Buddy?|||How cute.  Gotta love a good troll.|||I'm going to keep an eye out to determine her dominant function, because I haven't really been looking at Khloe primarily. But just from the things you're saying, I actually hear you describing more...|||Where do you see Ne-dom and Fi-aux in Khloe?'
