'I like this.  I always thought I was an open book too, but I'm really not.    I think I'm more like a library, and I select the best book for someone based on who/how they are.|||I work tech support.  It has drained me, and I'm so burnt out.  Stay far, far away from customer service!|||There's a book by Steven Pressfield called The War of Art that is supposed to be great advice on conquering the artistic procrastination.  Sadly I haven't gotten around to reading it.  -facepalm-|||It's a fun way to express yourself and show little things.  Don't overthink it.  As long as you aren't just taking pictures of your food, it'll be fine.  I wouldn't do it because other people want...|||I sang in metal bands for 9 years.  I admit that I've kind of mellowed out though, and don't listen to much metal anymore.  The passion is still there, but it's more about melancholy instead of anger...|||Your life isn't finished.  If your life was finished, lay down, say I'm ready! and die.  If you don't, then get up and realize that you aren't finished.  It's not until the end that the person you...|||An important thing to realize is that everything you're feeling is coming from your beliefs.  It may be getting worse because it's bringing to light things that you need to deal with in order to be...|||Gotta watch it all the way through...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C_HReR_McQ|||I have a similar idea about this as well.  The negative thoughts are only perpetuating as you start to believe them.  Positive thoughts are indeed good, and can bring in good in return... however,...|||I work out at least a couple days a week.  It has been very helpful for my self-image and confidence.|||Play.  Have fun.  Act as though everything is a game.|||Can't see the video, it's been removed.  I have an interest in things that seem supernatural to us.  I think there are many things possible that we are unwilling to believe because we logic and...|||The piano!|||I have similar problems, too, because of the empathy I feel for other people.  Several times I have gotten myself into things I really did not want to be a part of, and it took me a while to finally...|||For me, it's a matter of making better choices for my health.

It's like I'm a tuning fork, always...|||INFJs don't change the lightbulb, they change themselves to accommodate the lightbulb.|||Technically, yes, but actually? Not really.  The 2 party system is very limiting in who will actually get elected.  I live in a republican coal state where it's highly likely that Romney will be the...|||Romney is downright frightening.  He seems fake, out of touch, full of lies or promises without means, and will be making things better for the rich.  While Obama isn't my favorite, anyone besides...|||Lies lies lies.  I knew when I had been cheated on, I knew when plans were being made without me, I knew when they were being polite.    I played detective for a while concerning someone's safety,...|||Interesting that you put it like that.  I guess that's one thing I've never really thought much about.  It's so automatic for me to gauge a connection with someone that it happens without even...|||77, must be a good number!|||I have issues translating my head to voice too.  I can type you a book about things, but when talking to someone face to face, dealing with introversion, analyzing, feeling.. it's hard to get the...|||I have been known to become very reclusive, and with my experience I will issue a warning (not of danger, but of letting you know what could happen as an INFJ).  The exhaustion of dealing with people...|||Sigh I tend to get infatuated with people.  I had a really awesome experience with this girl recently.  The moment we had was sweet perfection and romance.  I was still hung up on it, and have now...|||I've been broken, but I've realized that life is what you make of it.  I learned that I have the power to live life how I want, not for others.  Any terrible things I've faced have been made up in...|||I find that people limit themselves more than anything else.  Just being open to opportunity without expectation or judgement about the way things are can change the way you live. I was pretty mopy...|||1) I have this all the time.  I talk to people on the phone with problems all day.  I know very quickly what the issue will be and where someone is going, and I get impatient and frustrated as people...|||I can't help you find a girlfriend, and honestly no one on the internet will be able to.  However..   There are some important things you can learn and deal with about yourself here.   I am a...|||I could not agree more!  I think the most important thing you can realize when dealing with negative things is knowing that everything is neutral until you assign it a definition.  Knowing this...|||Since I was a child, I have never been very masculine.  I'm sensitive and caring, and I have never been interested in activities that are usually associated with being masculine like sports, fishing,...|||I have limited knowledge about your experience as I can be frustrated in trying to translate what is in my head into a physical medium.    It's all about perspective though.  Why do you think the...|||Yeah I'm sure you are helpful in that way.  As a creative person, not being creative for a while can definitely bring me down.

Ask questions to find out what core belief is making them feel depressed (often stemming...|||I believe that existence has one quality - it exists.

With friends or even...|||I tend to keep everything in, but if I feel like someone is actually interested in knowing more, I'm very open.  I guess I'd say I'm an open book if you feel like taking the time to read.|||I think there's an important thing to notice here.  You have a belief about the outcome that is leaving you dissatisfied.    Nothing I make makes me happy   Art isn't just about making...|||I'm always good with animals, but after taking care of 3 cats that weren't mine, I'm not a big cat fan.

It's not really so much isn't this awesome what I can do? as it is sharing your personal...|||Thanks Andrew!  Very cool songs.  I like your experimental style.  That Conclusion song reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it.|||Thanks for posting!  Why in the world would you feel shame about it?  It sounds great!  Nice job.|||Yeah lol, old songs.  Myspace was great for bands once upon a time.|||Thank you :happy: The name was Minerva.

Here's a metal one, hopefully this link works: As Seen on TV|||You know, someone mentioned that they could see a bit of Radiohead in one of my newer songs that I'm working on.

I would say some of my biggest influences are Nine Inch Nails, Dax Riggs (Acid Bath, Deadboy and the Elephantmen, Agents of Oblivion), Fiona Apple, Tool, Deftones, and Death Cab For...|||I saw threads for a lot of different things, but not specifically for music.  The art thread seemed like more of a visual thing, so I thought I'd make one just for music.  So how about it?  Is...'
