'I'm moving soon into an apartment that allows pets, so I'm hoping people might hunt down a good birdcage, bird toys, perches, etc, to help with the startup cost of birds. I have trouble thinking of...|||Failure, being trapped, being helpless.|||http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji5ZOeorZIw|||I don't know, but I don't get why people will forgive animals their flaws but not humans. It's easy to love a dog and the simple relationship you can have with one because you almost never have to...|||I grew up with women friends who liked to touch and hug a lot, so even though I'm not the most touchy-feely person I guess I kind of acclimated to it. We used to watch movies on the couch and they'd...|||If I have to, yes. I don't like it, but I'd rather do it than stagnate somewhere/with someone I don't belong. I'm very sensitive to environments and try to get away from the wrong ones. I even hated...|||Hooray! Finally, my calling in life.|||Tentacles don't count.|||I feel more like a social brick.|||Is it just me, or do anime openings have a lot of randomly placed occult symbolism? Not even reaching here, Slayers and Evangelion both have a Tree of Life in there for no discernible reason.|||Cuteness can be used as a weapon.|||Sometimes.  In more detail, the more I get to know some people the more I see where we don't understand each other, even if things seemed to resonate perfectly before. That's just where the biggest...|||Always sad when someone not even a technophobe goes the way of, It's video games' fault I wasted my time on video games! They stopped me from being productive! I'm never letting my kids play! ...|||Sitting down and studying for my A+ and remembering why I always hated learning. I have to find a way to study that doesn't involve notes, flashcards, or reading. Ideally I'd just have tons of...|||Stopped at Starbuck's and ordered from some nerdy Asian kid with teenage acne. He opens his mouth and he has the voice of an angel, like if Sean Connery was reincarnated into a swan.  Just baffled...|||Are you hitting on us? At least take us out to dinner first.|||I don't know if cute is what I'd call actual social awkwardness in women, but I think responses to awkward women are more mild in a broad sense. Both sexes wind up dealing with bullying,...|||Agreed with all of this, but I hesitate at no creep shaming. People who are awkward and inexperienced don't deserve to have names flung at them like they're bad people, worthless, etc. People who...|||Sometimes I think I'm less fucked up than the majority of people, although I have always struggled with depression. I'm comfortable trusting people, have passions, know who I am, and am in reasonable...|||I don't. Most people in my family don't. Only my mother and sister use it, and sparsely. Myself, my father, and my two brothers either aren't on so much as Facebook or don't actually log in.|||One time in high school my friend brought me to meet some friends who liked to have fights with pool noodles wrapped in duct tape as a break from being a giant nerd.   I lost.|||Maybe it's location-based, but I haven't seen this as a prevailing cultural belief. Before I started reading forums regularly I had no idea it was even a thing, and it's been something I've had to...|||I often feel the same way. I'm so used to people approaching me with an itch that needs scratching that it's become confusing to hear from a friend that they don't like me for what I do for them,...|||Nothing to give you a headache like spending a weekend around people who don't know technology but are too stubborn to listen to someone does.  I give up. Enjoy fixing your problem with your...|||It rankles me a bit whenever someone says that minority and majority groups are exactly the same, such as homo- and heterosexuals. In my experience, the basic humanity is the same while the...|||Write whatever you think will motivate you to stick to that 50k for a month. Whether it's brilliant or crap, if you lose interest a week in you still haven't finished a novel...  My personal take...|||I know how I feel about what I know, the big question is whether or not I have the whole picture. I've had some heated arguments that were over mutual miscommunication, and with those settled there...|||Seeing you awake at 10 AM is like running into Batman at the grocery store.|||I prefer to deal with conflict and move on, so that there's less time and energy spent on it in any shape or form. Most of my past relationships have been with people who were very passive about and...|||Feeling isn't a decision. Committing is. I'm usually surprised by how hard I get hit by feelings when I do have them, and how some people dodge right underneath my guard and bring about a sense of...|||Personal preference. I'm sociable in video games or in places where it's fairly casual (work, etc). I just don't like to have a lot of obligations to go out or people calling me at home when I'm...|||I'm naturally mistrustful and looking for possible problems, which helps.|||I kind of blame it on my current phase of life. I've had a few long-term relationships (as in, years) that didn't work out and now I'm burnt out on trying to make something that doesn't work work. ...|||I think part of the nervousness is putting pressure on oneself to be highly interesting and in no way awkward. Conversations between strangers are naturally a little awkward most of the time and it's...|||No, but I do occasionally have people think it means they can cross my boundaries or otherwise be gross, selfish, and nasty. It doesn't mean walk all over me. It's me pretending I didn't see a faux...|||^  Most will run off and never return at this point.|||Just curious, what do you consider the best resources for comparing Fi and Fe? I've found a few passages in the articles section, but I'm wondering if I'm missing anything useful.  I need it for......|||Yes, but I've given up on trying to define it past that I vibe well enough with someone to feel it through forum posts or a single, short conversation and to really want to see more.  In general...|||You know I'd just be tempted to fuck with people for fun when you put it this way and see how long I can get them to listen to me with my mental filter off.|||SJ: ISFJ, I imagine. I've come to like reasonably mature Fe a lot, probably through some kind of accelerated Stockholm Syndrome from INFJs.  SP: ISFPs would be the most similar and I might like the...|||It's that overwhelming ENTJ sexiness. We're delicate, can't you go a little easier on us?|||I've never been called it, but I worry about it sometimes. I've learned to be more concise, but I feel like I'm leaving a lot unsaid with it that's open to (incorrect) interpretation.|||I just combine things together in ways that are probably going to be delicious, unless it's something like cake or cookies. Baked goods get truly inedible if you don't do it right.  I've only had a...|||I've met enough good friends and kind strangers to be hopeful, and enough pretentious assholes, manipulators, and vicious bastards and bitches to be cautious.|||Following long written or verbal instructions and keeping things in order. I remember the day my schoolteachers gave up on trying to organize me. So many crushed hopes and dreams.  INFP.    You...|||Thanks is fine for me, although Meltedsorbet has great advice. I just give people things because I like them and want them to feel good, and it makes me feel like I can show them that care and take...|||I think it definitely comes down to your preferences. Most current science fiction bores me and becomes a chore to read after a few chapters, bestsellers included. Discovering Lester del Rey was like...|||You know if you keep following me around like a lost puppy, I might just start to like you even more.|||I don't understand some people's attachment to having all their friends in one group. Leaving people who don't care whether I'm coming or going shouldn't make things weird with the one friend I have...|||I see a lot of this thread in a friendship I have, but I don't consider any of it to be real problems. I can't see it seriously impacting a relationship of similar quality, either.  It's nice to...'
