'I really like the way you put that. It makes a lot of sense, especially the dramatic, raw, and self-sacrificing bit. Blood does carry those implications as does the idea of love (self-sacrificing...|||I don't feel this way myself (I've already said earlier in one of the sticky threads that I associate it with pain, so I find it somewhat difficult to romanticize, at least in the way you're...|||I sometimes feel like I'm being mocked when people try to reassure me.   My self-confidence has been pretty low lately, but because participation is a huge chunk of my grade in my writing classes,...|||I can't tell if my recent lethargy and idleness are results of pure laziness or if depression is beginning to settle in once again.  My head feels too heavy and my body feels too empty for it to be...|||I had a dream 2 nights ago that I was trying to save parakeets from some random person selling them at my school for some reason. I was afraid to take them back to the dorm because I didn't know if...|||I feel more beautiful when I put less effort into my appearance than usual.   I didn't plan on leaving my room today, so I didn't put any effort into my appearance. Then I realized that I was out...|||I didn't sleep last night, so I took a quick nap before class and had a dream.  I was riding my favorite horse in a group with several other riders that I once knew from several years ago when we...|||I would say I get nervous often, but my responses depend on the situation.   Sometimes I acknowledge that I'm nervous but proceed with whatever I must do without any sort of hesitation; I hide it...|||I didn't realize how much I take electricity for granted until the hurricane knocked the power out for a few days.  The lack of air conditioning mixed with intense heat and humidity gave me one of...|||A friend sent me something a few days ago. It was a multimedia message; no text, just an image. It was a picture of a flyer she found in the central area of campus about an ongoing social anxiety...|||I think that would somewhat depend on the circumstances, but from what I've personally seen, none of my friends (assuming we're talking about Gen Z in part-time jobs) stayed with a part-time job for...|||It makes me furious when people drag religion and politics into current natural disasters and make petty remarks in the face of a catastrophe.  I'm rather close to Hurricane Irma's predicted...|||Unless my food is going to kill me for some reason, I won't say anything about it if it's subpar or missing anything. I'll eat it and continue to be polite to the waiter/waitress. I also hate wasting...|||I've been home for a few hours now.  I'm so happy and finally feel like I belong once again, but it feels so surreal. Ever since I went off to college, I would sometimes hear a voice inside my head...|||I get to go home tomorrow night!  I'll get a solid 2 hours or so of night driving (one of my favorite things!) and I'll get to see my family and my pets when I get home! It'll only be for about 4...|||I need to have a 2-4 paragraph discussion post submitted for an online class by 8 AM. One of the books I'm required to read and cite in my post is about 140 pages long, but I just found out that I...|||Actualized type: INFP (who you are) Introverted (I) 78.13% Extroverted (E) 21.88% Intuitive (N) 64.52% Sensing (S) 35.48% Feeling (F) 53.33% Thinking (T) 46.67% Perceiving (P) 67.74% Judging (J)...|||I just drank the most mediocre milkshake I think I've ever drank in my entire life. It tasted like iced whole milk with a few tasteless candy pieces mashed up in there. Now that I look back on it, it...|||When I woke up this morning, I was enveloped in confusion and sadness. I don't really know where it came from, but it has only gotten worse as the day has gone on. I realized how truly inferior I...|||I almost forgot the main reason why I don't like school.  I love learning and applying the things I've learned, but everything is done in an overly simplified and repetitive way. I started to get...|||I'm not grossed out by blood, I even think it's cool, but the sight of it does stir a lot of discomfort in me. I associate visible blood with pain, and I almost always begin to feel some sort of pain...|||It's a mess but here goes.  I'm so naive. There's never been any denial of that. I try to act like I'm a mature individual, but I still know deep down that I view the world through the eyes of a...|||It seems that the more I try to untangle the tortuous ball of thoughts in my mind, the more tangled it becomes.  I'm in a lot of emotional discomfort at the moment, but every effort to decipher my...|||I was going to go for a walk to clear my mind, but there was an armed robbery in the area and 2/3 suspects fled. Their location as of right now is unknown.  Yeah, I'm staying indoors, thanks...|||Women's bathrooms are so gross, and now I can't escape them.   I used to hold it in for hours until I was able to get back home and use the bathroom in my house. Well, now that I'm not at home and...|||I want to text my friends and see how things are going for them, but I'm afraid to.  They're roommates, so I don't want to text one of them and spark a conversation between them like:   1: Oh,...|||I guess I was really quiet and liked to be left alone according to my parents (I communicated more with distinct hand gestures than sounds too, apparently; there's photographic evidence of that). My...|||I met someone today. She decided to sit behind me in one of the lectures today, and we had to introduce ourselves to each other and the few people around us. So of course, we said our names and...|||If there's one thing I've realized over the past few days, it's that I'm a lot shyer than I initially thought I was.  At least it doesn't bother me until I perceive it as a weakness, but even then,...|||^^ I agree with a lot of what she said.  Perhaps your girlfriend recognizes that she is not in a good situation (financially, with the unhealthy aunt...), and she's thinking about the past as a...|||I held a fidget spinner once. Once. And I will never do it again. I started feeling the anxiety crawl up my spine as soon as it started spinning, and that anxious feeling wouldn't stop so I'm...|||I had a dream that I decided to stop by my friends' residence hall on the way to my first class. One of them had been waiting for me, and the two of us decided to go for a short walk since we had a...|||It wasn't a present for any particular occasion. It was something I gave my best friend on one of our last days hanging out together before I went away for school.  When we were sophomores in high...|||Other. I'm not the most educated in economics (hardly at all, so don't take me too seriously), but here's my explanation:  Coins are very annoying. My purse is clogged with nickels and pennies...|||Time seems to pass by so slowly in the dorm. Classes haven't started yet, so maybe that'll change once I have to start studying and writing papers, but I could sleep for what feels like an hour and...|||Last night, I had a dream that I was reunited with my bearded dragon (I moved into my college dorm yesterday, and I had to leave her at home with my family), but I also received another baby bearded...|||If you do A level work for your other classes in my class, you will get a C. In order to get an A or even a B in this class, you must not make any mistakes. I say that because I'm assuming all of...|||I haven't been all that resistant to change lately. I've actually been quite open to it.  But now I feel nothing but dread. It's rattling my whole being in a way I've never experienced before.  I...|||I'm doing fine and I'm not afraid, but something feels so wrong.  I feel like I made one of the worst decisions of my life... I don't know if that's true or not yet, but something on the inside is...|||This was something I wrote a while ago, but I saved it because I really liked it for some reason. One might even say I was in love at the time I wrote it and naturally felt strongly about it, but...|||Today was the first time that I ever heard my voice inside my head say, I'm not going down without a fight!  I was in danger of falling off a bolting and bucking horse when I heard it, but I felt...|||I had a dream that actually made me cry.  I don't remember the early bit of the dream, but I remember that I was in the hall leading out to the arena where my graduation ceremony was held, and I...|||I feel so weak whenever I have to rely on pain medication to do basic everyday things. Luckily it doesn't happen that often, but I still feel so weak and useless when it does. I hardly trust...|||I found a video on YouTube that had some clips of children's television shows (mostly for children aged 2-5), and it included many of the shows I used to watch when I was in that age range.   I...|||I had a dream that I was navigating this area that looked like an amusement park with a male companion who I really don't know in reality, but we were apparently good friends in the dream. He was...|||Aww, I appreciate it.  I'm pretty sure they meant one-on-one. For some context, on one of the occasions, one of my friends told me that one of our other friends told her that she hadn't heard from...|||I feel like I should talk to my friends because it has been a while, but I don't want to. (I'm not referring to my best friend though; we've been talking and things have all been good there.) ...|||I wasted 5 hours of my life desperately grinding for items and EXP in one of my video games today in order to unlock a secret cutscene in the game... and it was painfully underwhelming in the end....|||Ah, that changes things. Makes things more confusing, at least. Maybe she's got something else going on too, but I don't know her and can't just make assumptions on the matter. I don't have any...|||I'll say INTP.  I've either received INFP or INTP as a result on all of the simple 4-letter tests I've taken. The only reason I decided I was an INFP over INTP was because of my consistent results...'
