'I agree. I can think of no greater power than power over one's own self. All the fools running around seeking power over other people and things are slaves to their own human nature. If you can't...|||Disagreed. I don't believe I've ever posted a GIF. The best way to farm thanks is to post short comments that are insightful but nonetheless general enough for them to resonate with multiple people....|||Waking up and realising I have to go to work. :tongue:  In terms of mundane, everyday things we have to do, I really hate eating. I find it's such a hassle, especially in the evening when you want...|||I have a couple of them, but have never really read them properly. I don't know what it is. I find them funny, but at the same time there isn't enough there to keep me reading through the whole book....|||One of my closest buddies is an INFP. It's great because whenever I say something that might be rude or offensive, I look at him and I can tell in a glance whether it's time for me to shut up or not....|||Haha, trust me, I'd definitely be motivated. Two or three days of pointlessness is all I can handle before I sink into an existential crisis and am desperate to find something. Seriously. :tongue: ...|||Yes, always. I'm perpetually on the fence on several important issues because there are valid points on each side and I can't get to a final opinion. There are ethical questions that I've been...|||Not really a fan. YOU (PROBABLY) CAN'T TRAVEL FASTER THAN LIGHT. At least, not with the results depicted in sci-fi. As if it were just like taking a plane to another continent. Yeah, sure buddy. It's...|||Somewhere, I've got a five minute video of my cat running around in a circle on the same spot trying to catch her tail. Hilarious. I can't seem to find it, unfortunately. :(|||One of my favourite sketches of all time. I've seen it a billion times. Love it!  I gather the moral of your post is who needs friends when you're having fun?.|||I could do that... I do have vacation time available, and it really does make sense to try that avenue first. The thing that worries me is that I can think around a topic for months without every...|||What is this halfwittery? It's my turn to lay on the couch and ask some advice from the amazing shrink that is the collective INTP forum.  *Closes eyes*  I'm wondering what people's thoughts are...|||I don't make friends. Other people make friends with me.  Seriously. I've never tried to make friends with anyone, yet I always seem to have more than I have time for. One of those weird things....|||Cuddle + not romantically involved = Get the bloody **** off of me! Cuddle + romantically involved = MOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!    I think this has a lot to do with it.  I'm so...|||I prefer more conventional music over white noise. Yes, to me, white noise is music. After a few minutes of white noise, my mind inevitably starts playing around with it to the point that I can...|||My closest friends are INFP and ENFP. I notice a trend.|||The funny part is, to me, this doesn't seem at all random. :dry:|||Ah, I understand. Luckily my lint content was fairly low, so I was able to safely recapture my saliva.|||No... Because you'll probably drink it anyway.|||Thanks. The image that just went through my head completely wrecked this whole thread for me. Well done.|||Stop. You're making me drool on my keyboard.|||It should actually be I am an INTP. Sorry to burst your bubble.|||I concur. I want to hear more about INFJs and sex.|||As if I got to the end of this fascinating thread and find a pair of INTPs invading it. :wink:|||lol. As if.|||Ditto. Smoking around me is a good way to get insulted. I'll never attack a smoker directly, but if I'm walking with a friend and a smoker happens to be nearby, I will happily mention to my friend...|||I was usually a fairly good kid. My protests were always of the silent variety rather than the loud, angry variety. If someone told me to do something I didn't like, I would just pretend I didn't...|||It seems to me your way is the more typically INTPish way to do things. In most situations -- situations without deep, lasting emotional consequences -- I certainly do as you do.  I'm wondering if...|||Ribbit. :happy:|||I understand what you mean about the INTPness making it extremely difficult to follow society's silly rules. It definitely holds me back a little, at least in the traditional sense of career +...|||My sister was actually offended when I informed her that people who care about the royal wedding are idiots and have no lives. I was shocked. I thought it was obvious. I can't possibly understand why...|||I'm interested to know if I'm like other INTPs, if I'm batshit insane, or both.  The question is, are you your own psychological and sociological experiment?  I, like many people, like to...|||I don't cry in the sense of gushing out tears, but I do get teary-eyed, and frequently, too.  I definitely tear up during movies. Dramas and romances, especially. I try to hide it, but somehow...|||Video 1: The first 6 tracks from Nektar's 1976 album Recycled. I don't think they ever stick to the same melody for longer than 30 seconds, yet they manage to make it all revolve around the same...|||Agreed. To the people saying they would force themselves to be happy or force themselves to revert back to their earlier state, how do you know you'd be able to do that? Infinite knowledge does not...|||There is nothing wrong with following your dreams. No one can stop you from that. If you believe you are capable of going to the more distant school, and will be able to make ends meet in doing so,...|||Ditto. I don't think I would take it. Unless, perhaps, I was about to die. Life is fun because it's a challenge. It's an adventure of discovery. If I knew everything, there wouldn't be anything to...|||Person thinks they're a wizard? Check. Person is offering me a magic pill? Check. Do I run? Check.  I can imagine where he wants to stick his wand... :laughing:|||True. It's obviously a sliding scale. Based on what the OP wrote, it doesn't seem like that behaviour is impacting his life significantly. Ultimately, the important thing to consider in determining...|||Thanked x1000. This is sooooooo annoying. I can't stand it. My sister is an ISFJ and she gets on my nerves so badly for exactly this reason. The worst part is, I'm usually thinking about something...|||This. Those two points are very OCD-ish. I for one exhibited a lot of obsessive-compulsive behaviours such as these as teenager, even though I've always been an INTP. I did things in a very orderly,...|||I very much identify with the idea of an internal agenda. It describes quite succinctly what goes on in my head. I found I almost never payed attention at school. I would always be day dreaming...|||Tried it once. I ended up meeting someone in my neighbourhood who went to the same school as me. She also happened to be bloody frickin' amazing. Only person I've ever met who I've had much in common...|||Ever since I was young, if I've ever had to name a random number off the top of my head, that random number has been 52. Probability theory, I defy you!|||Me, too. :blushed:    I'll just wave, thanks. No touching.|||Yay! Nothing beats Monty Python.  It's a well-known one, but it's my favourite:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifmRgQX82O4  B.J. Smegma. :laughing:  Yes, it was the middle one.|||Hey, welcome. :laughing:  Yeah, I can't advise on making friends, either. People usually make friends with me, not the other way around. I guess all you can really do is be a friend to others and...|||Check my sig for the one I most like to live by.  Other good ones:  No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. I tell you: one must have chaos within oneself, to give...|||YES!!!! Best band of all time! It's so rare to run into people who have heard of them, much less people who like them. :happy:  Anyways, my favourite genre is progressive rock, so I find new bands...|||I can't believe you're still not in a relationship!'
