'Haha yeah, I feel that on a spiritual level. My mother has cited it as me just being too picky, and she doesn't mean that in a 'take whatever you can get' sense, but I think she doesn't realize how...|||I am in my mid-20s, so I don't know if you'd count that as 'rather young' or not. lol I'm at an age where the majority of my peers have relationship experience and are getting married. Not that I...|||(Haha no problem, I think a part of me just wanted to discuss the topic in general, so having a devil's advocate makes me happy. XD)  It's not that I'm adverse to romantic love, I just don't think...|||Well, I'm not opposed to it having some sort of legal benefit to it, to be honest. But I was speaking basically of arranged marriage for the sake of those who aren't of the bar scene or who don't...|||I'm sure somewhere buried there's a thread for this, but my current random thought/vent for the day is on the topic of arranged marriages.  My older brother and I are both INTJs, and my uncle is an...|||Haha yes, I saw this after I had already posted. My apologies for the misunderstanding, Drog. :) Your usage of 'it' makes much more sense now, in that context.    Hm. Part of this may be the fact...|||It would be an incorrect pronoun in this case, since you specified INTJ females I see no reason for causing confusion with using such a word when a more apt pronoun was so easily accessible. lol ...|||People act differently based on the social situation. I'm sure some F-dom guys try to hold back their F in order to come across as 'logical/competent' with coworkers or peers in much the same way...|||Exactly. And I've met several INFJs but I've never known an INFJ that actually got 'INFJ' on a test. I think they tend to be difficult to type on tests, due to their natures?  I've already gone on...|||1. Be what, to their opinion, is charming. 2. Please define timid. 3. Please specify which term it refers to. Based on placement, it seems you mean an INTJ girl's timidity? I would assume you...|||I don't know if it would count as that sort of sensory sensitivity, but I have noticed that during very sensory-heavy situations where I'm also emotionally invested, I get severe migraines? For...|||I joined a group chat some months back comprised of about seven people, including myself. MBTI eventually came up in the discussion and they all scuffled off to take the test.  Besides myself, the...|||I actually don't care for online dating. It seemed really stressful for me, and I also don't like how people get so salty about it, especially about whether or not you're on the hookup train. I know...|||Perhaps. I've noticed that there isn't exactly a 'distance' with my ENFPs, but there is a sort of nonchalance for what I think most SF type friendships strive for. Daily problems, brought up by...|||I have a younger ENFP sister and an ENFP friend. There are lots of communication issues, to be sure. But I think that is true with all types, regardless of gender. They tend to be very sensitive...|||Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Since college I've had a harder time reading for pleasure, so my progress is slow, but the book has been fascinating so far. Lots of intriguing and discussion-worthy...|||Honestly, I think in the realms of MBTI-enthusiasts, INTJs are seen as some sort of higher form of being, placed on a pedestal of super-intelligent world-domination-planning robots. INTJ =/= some...|||I have met a female INTP, and we instantly clicked. It was an awkward group situation, and I felt like a total outsider (it's a long story - I wasn't supposed to be there) but the INTP sat across...|||I used to have a poor relationship with my mother, but she worked really hard through my teenage years to establish good communication and trust with me - she values working with each of us kids...|||lilysocks Yeah, I enjoy cognitive functions, but I will be one of the first to state that I don't know very much about them, and I am not one to try to place a cognitive function on every sentence,...|||lol Agreed. I guess I just use characters in fiction as learning material, and take for granted that one will know the difference between fiction and reality. I've been burned by that assumption...|||Very true, a 2D creation with limited traits cannot represent a more complex 3D personality type, but it does help when you use Mr. Darcy to explain your difficulties in understanding romantic play...|||CaptainAnon  Yes, I've met online friends in person. And yes, it's awkward. I know for me, that social interactions take a lot more effort in person than via text. What works for me is having some...|||Agreed. I may not have expressed it correctly, but my point is that the Se can either be stifled/controlled by a healthier INTJ, or it can be a cause for 'looser living.' I've heard of INTJs who are...|||Zen Lizard  Thank you very much for your reply. Even more so, since it is something so very personal to you.  One of the main reasons I decided to back off was because I could tell that, no...|||Thank you.（˶^◡^˶）    The only time I think I've ever gotten anywhere near externally exciting or jumping up and down was when I heard about a reunion concert for a band I've loved for about 10...|||I think that technically speaking, because INTJ's lowest cognitive function is Se (living through the senses, in the moment, physical/material pleasures), it's very likely that they might get caught...|||Cats, and jellyfish. ♥|||Homemade Japanese-style curry and apple juice.|||lol Wow. I wonder if that sort of sudden enchantment would be staved off by having baby-interactions with cousins' babies or siblings' babies? Like, as long as you rub enough baby pheromone-esque...|||I've heard this argument a lot, but I have a hard time believing in this, for some reason. I think because I have a hormone imbalance, so it may be that I will not be (or will not be AS) affected by...|||Gah. Artificial_Lifeform, I think I'm in a very similar boat as you. Of course, it's not the exact same, as I did not have to deal with as much depression and such severe social holdups, but..know...|||SantaFox  Hahaha...in my personal opinion, swords are generally pretty shitty with defense.  I was also thinking earlier about the way that shields (particularly smaller, buckler types) are...|||Haha...totally. Never underestimate a spine crunch. If your opponent can't move, he can't attack OR defend.   I saw some of the other comments about how shields equate to defense, and I was quite...|||This sounds like an episode of Deadliest Warrior. lol There really are a lot of factors which go into this. Strength and ability of the wielders, style of use, balance of offense/defense, type of...|||There is a set of grammar books out of there called A Dictionary of Japanese Grammar by Seiichi Makino and Michio Tsutsui. They do basic, intermediate and advanced, and it looks like it's pretty...|||INTJ 5 Capricorn.  My ENFP friend has been super into astrology, so in her ramblings about different planets and degrees, she has decided I'm super Capricorn so much that it hurts. lol I do think...|||Hello, and welcome to PerC! I hope you find a nice little niche of listeners here.  I know how you feel with wanting to find an unbiased sounding board for how to improve yourself. Just be prepared...|||My only issue with this is that, as I've socialized more, I've felt compelled to use extra exclamation points or emoticons (even to the point of excess, imho) because of that communication mishap. So...|||Pondering impressions today. My friend claims that the reason people seem to wildly misinterpret my personality is because I'm easy to project onto, and I'm wondering how and why someone would be...|||Okay, this will probably be a bit of a helluva long post, but I could really use any reassurance/advice/criticism.  I'm an INTJ, and I had an internet based friendship with an ISFJ for about 10...|||My older brother is INTJ, as am I, although I think because of my INFJ mother I developed my Fi sooner than he; my younger sisters are INFP, ISTP and ENFP respectively.  My poor youngest sister is...|||Going to college inspired me to work harder at 'pseudo-extroverting' better. I was homeschooled, so I wanted a chance to prove my self-imposed despair at being introverted and alone wrong.   After...|||My apologies for adding another NT comment into the mix, but I would just like to add in my two cents.   I've had experiences with several ISFJs and a couple ESFJs, and although many of those...|||Fantastic. Use any and all resources you can. As far as kanji, even as a graduate, I'm working on the application WaniKani. It takes longer to get through, but the Spaced Repetition System is a...|||I'm not sure what you're asking of me...?|||Welcome to the forum, sayakacarys! I hope you find PerC to be a sort of solace for you. I think learning more about yourself will gradually help you earn some confidence.
