'UnicornRainbowLove How do I choose? This wheel is much too large to spin ;)|||All of these are words that I find myself using constantly: aesthetic, indicative, consider, intangible.|||What are your top 4 most favorite and cherished words (of any language)?|||It's funny, I remember feeling in middle school like time was running and I needed to settle upon who I was. At 25, that same feeling is affirmed by the pressures of the adult world, and I now have...|||388218|||My go-to is getting lost imagining what one of my favorite stories would look like in a different medium, or if it was approached differently.  Without going into any dizzying amount of detail,...|||To the time harried individual:  I've heard it said that friendships are best forged around interests, and in my experience that's been true, so I'd recommend you start where people are doing and...|||Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Cold Roses Radiohead - In Rainbows Miles Davis - Kind of Blue Bob Marley - Legend Beck - Morning Phase  I'm not particularly big on albums, I prefer great...|||My favorite characters are usually from series, since they get more development that way, but here are some movie choices:  Shawshank Redemption/Andy Dufresne Family Man/Jack Spirited...|||Hmm.. how about pairing/ordering inanimate objects? I could be playing Monopoly with the family, and I'll be straightening out my money so that all of the paper runs parallel, or shares some kind of...|||All the air leaves my lungs if my favorite romantic interest dies, or if a series threatens to end without properly resolving the status of a quiescent romance. I'm a sucker.|||380098  This was me setting up for an online interview recently.|||https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up0bhJzi0iU  Such an awesome performance.|||I'm 25, and I think I've accepted it as a truth that people are just well composed beasts. Well, I thought that was sad at first, but now human behavior just makes so much more sense that I think it...|||To an idealist, your outward appearance is probably not of the most urgent concern. Summon your most authentic self (INFPs make an unconscious hobby of sniffing out facades). Know what you want. Look...|||Interesting that wishing mastery in the arts could be an indicator of dissatisfaction. I have felt desperate to reach a sense of purpose, lately, since I've just graduated from college.. I remember...|||My life story. Even this subject has staled just a couple days after one of my inspiration spikes. I'm left still knowing objectively that MBTI is immensely useful and intriguing to myself, yet the...|||Should I give myself in to more subjective considerations? I never thought it could be useful before, but apparently it's a strength of my type, given that Fi is dominant and therefore energizing and...|||I've tested as INFP consistently, and the profile description (especially deeper analysis of the cog. functions) convinces me that I'm an INFP. As a kid I exhibited Fi strongly. I was extremely...|||INFPs in their healthier state are not consciously focused on external order. Sometimes your worst self is your best self. Know what I'm saying? - Frank, True Detective  Warning: This post is...|||I'll go ahead and posit that the INFP-INFP relationship is less rewarding. A general lack of stimulation is the reason I've just broken up with my INFP gf :(   So I'm looking for a more stimulating...|||I barely care enough to write this post. I haven't cared this little about life and people since my deep depression in High School. Could this state emerge from watching documentaries about serial...|||What gives you a sense of purpose and/or drive?|||:bored:|||sogood I was so indescribably full, I likened the sensation to growing a human inside myself. Also note that I used deliberately non-serious tones when I said this.   The overriding feeling is of...|||To me, what the PC people are doing is so much more offensive than what they are offended by. The way they are expressing themselves, taking jokes out of context and raging about them, is so...|||Here are some highlights from an article in The New Yorker about #CancelColbert:   [[#CancelColbert may have been silly and dumb and wrong in spirit, but it’s worth asking if those of us who find...|||You can't exactly expect a comedian to preface or follow a joke with a disclaimer that their joke doesn't represent his/her real world views, as we've seen other people do multiple times in this...|||Itsmyhead YES. Ricky sums it up so well. Brilliant. Virtually, he expresses my own opinion better than I can.      Simpson17866 I think you've found a false dichotomy here. Yes, I find people who...|||Rune I lean a bit liberal myself. It seems to me that certain people clamoring for sensitivity is more an expression of their insecurity than of liberalism, but the problem is that these people quite...|||@Slagasaurus God no. That's a blanket statement that no one should take seriously unless it's stated by some formal news source like Fox or CNN. If that was a Lisa Lampanelli joke, for example, then...|||@Slagasaurus That would be an example of bad humor, with you expressly being the target. Censorship is indispensable; I would not want to live in a world of people who don't know how to be sensitive....|||Yes. There are infinitely better examples than mine. I thought that moment expressed how overgrown censor culture has become, that now even lame table talk is scrutinized and taken literally and as a...|||I am offended by this new demographic of people who constantly get offended, who are 24/7 so impassioned in their mission to eliminate ignorance that they also target free speech. Everything looks...|||:suspicion:|||I agree that it's central to keep aware of both sides. And that's the frustrating thing in this relationship; whether it's because she isn't comfortable saying or doesn't entirely know herself, she's...|||Thanks for the responses. I am deeply in love with this Information Age that we live in, where the experienced freely contribute their invaluable knowledge; but perpetual advice-seeking isn't...|||I mean by success that you achieved whatever you set out to accomplish when you started meditating. So if you wanted to become more emotionally stable, you were successful if you became more...|||I decided today that I would try to fit meditation in as part of my morning routine. I guess I would start with short sessions of standard, mindfulness meditation, and then follow that with guided...|||Hey everybody, so I talked to her.  We both said more than I can remember, but following is a basic summary.  *(Don't read too much into the tone of the written conversation, my memory of the real...|||Let's all take a moment here to strip naked; to full-body soak in the Americana sauna. I ask you two questions: 1. What is something you absolutely need to be satisfied? 2. What is your guiltiest...|||Thanks all, really great responses. I'm just going to have to sit down with her and talk about this face to face. I would have done that by now, but she hasn't been responding well to direct...|||mushr00m I have asked her explicitly whether there was something I could be doing better. Last week I sent her this message on FB: I love you. Is there something I can make better? I feel like I...|||Thanks everyone for the comments, they're really helpful. I may have given the impression that I'm simply touchy about the mere suggestion that I mistreat my gf (which, to be fair, is because I am...|||ponyjoyride Thanks, that reminds me to keep things in perspective. I failed to properly contextualize this query, because I like to fluff up my posts to make them more fun to write and read. All of...|||Fischer You are being presumptuous. I care very much about my girlfriend and what she wants and needs, and I do try to be the best possible version of myself for her sake and for my own. Also I think...|||Wow, thanks Meltedsorbet for the in-depth answer. I don't want to seem like I'm sniping solutions but what you just described is my current go-to strategy. I've really been trying for weeks to make...|||I think our relationship has only gotten stronger. We are better able to connect in every way but physically, which is ironic because it was the opposite before. Looking back it seems like maybe she...|||I don't think that's it. I say that because she's very conscious of gender roles. She's a self-proclaimed feminist and demands more than tolerance of all role deviations; when I said 'Bruce Jenner'...|||Right away I want to apologize to those who thought they were going to get a glimpse into the life of a man who literally regards his cat as his girlfriend. Not quite that severe, I'm afraid. No, I'm...'
