I always felt like I had to be strong for...|||Ah this is me as well. My mother is an ENFP so I got the Fi treatment from a young age. It's one of the reasons I decided to work and save some money for a couple years instead of going straight off...|||I think the subject matter is sympathetic but the video is trying too hard.

I...|||@INTJellectual  Even the negative parts of type 1 sound more like my personality than anything to do with a true type 9. I don't like to loose my temper but its more because I think its wrong to...|||Welcome to the Cafe X54. I think you'll find a lot of introverts can relate to your story.|||I've read through different descriptions about all the types before I picked which one was mine. 9, 2, and 7 were the ones I discarded right away because they didn't sound like me at all and they...|||I don't think that empathy is an illogical or logical thing.

It depends on what you mean though, you can feel something for another person and still...|||I wasn't sure if I was more of a Type 1 or a Type 5 as I related to both of them. After I saw some descriptions though I realized that I was more of a 1 because of the emphasis on perfection and...|||I'm not an ENFP and I don't have a ton of issues with the system, but I do understand not knowing what to do with a degree/ take in college to do what you want.

Are you saying that you don't believe that the structure or chemistry of someone's brain contributes to psychosis and mental illness? Or are you saying that...|||I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Pedophilia works the same way that Sociopathy does. Your brain has to be set up for it, due to irregular neural characteristics, but trauma has to set it off....|||I've never understood the weird MBTI follower obsession with INTJ's. It's not a blessing or a curse its just a personality type, same as the other 15 personality types.  The T thing cracked me up....|||My brother is an INTP and its usually the other way around LOL. My brother is more passive aggressive than anything that could be called mean. The person I really feel sorry for in my family is my...|||My younger brother is an INTP and we mostly get on really well.

Lord of the Demon Grape Vines did obviously.|||Coffee. I've had sleep apnea since I was a tyke so I've gotten used to using it to sublimate my non-sleeping ability. I drink it with a tablespoon of hazelnut creamer, no sugar.   I never offer...|||Psychology going into neural and behavioral science is already something I'm interested in so it helps.   I used to think that way when I was a teenager until a teacher I liked started teasing me...|||THIS! I'm seen this so many times on this site alone that it is positively mind boggling. Half the arguments that happen on here are people saying the same things but not saying them the way the...|||I went for one year as a Art and Design Major but now I'm probably going to switch to something else. A year immersed in the art crowd kinda made me insane. I mostly went with it because in High...|||Definitely Visual for me. I have a hard time talking on the phone because I can get distracted by anything moving around. I'll watch it instead. I have to stare at a blank wall or walk around in a...|||I've learn to temper my bluntness with humor somewhat or focus on making sure people I'm around know that I'm not personal when I am. People watching helps too. A lot of times when I get in a new...|||Your score was 59 of 100.   This puts you in the category of the low Machs, people who will hold out for the goodness of the world and avoid manipulation.

My family is out of it now, and I luckily never got baptized into it, but I think it had an effect on me that didn't transfer to my 6 years younger sister. It's a...|||I hate the idea of going back to college without being sure what I want to major in exactly, but It's better than sitting around shooting the wall for another year. It's also better than going back...|||Picard is just kinda of impersonal and orderly, he isn't really a rules lawyer. The first fight of the series that he and Riker have is about Picard ignoring Star Fleet policy and wanting to go down...|||Pretty similar to a lot of the other stories on here.

Very interesting to hear about how even seemingly mundane experiences are approached by an INTJ, I've...|||In my D&D game the ENFP Bard really did sleep with a dragon to keep it from eating us. I was the DM and when she said  I want to roll to seduce the dragon I stared at her for about 30 seconds...|||To me it means that I'm willing to let other people have their own ideas as long as they don't insist that I share them. Also that I am willing to change my own if someone presents a better idea with...|||Of course anyone can be arrogant in the true sense of the word. I was talking about the INTJ 'arrogance' that we're so often attributed with because we assume that we're correct about our beliefs...'
