'I suspect I might have some kind of low-grade depression, but my lack of confidence seems to be a bigger problem because it makes me feel incapable of handling everyday issues and stress.  Its also...|||Yes, I especially dislike those who seem to lack a genuine core of decency, which they try to fill up with societal ideals of material success and wealth.  They seem to have few principles of their...|||Darn, started in Ann Arbor by two students from U of M, my alma mater.  Spent some lonely nights there at the Ann Arbor downtown store when I didn't have anybody.  Good times.|||There seems to be a bigger question behind the question, which is to what extent do parents have the right to control their children?  I'm thinking to the extent of preventing the kid from causing...|||I don't know about that.  People praised you for a reason, and instead of discounting their compliments, I think it would be wise to realize that you do indeed have strengths in a certain area. ...|||Yeah, I find it difficult too.  Very nerve-wracking, especially since I'm not a particularly enthusiastic student.  I don't talk much in class, and I get by with last-minute, sometimes all-nighter...|||I don't mind it either, as long as I'm not in a relationship.|||Yes I get this a lot.  Not sure why either, but my best guess is our need for approval.  When others suspect us of doing something, it seems like that would only happen if they thought us capable of...|||Yes, like LucasM says, you seem to be a competent writer, at least.  With regards to the guitar, I know what you mean.  I went through a similar period.  I would suggest learning a genre of music...|||I second George R. R. Martin.  While you're at all, might as well check out the HBO series they made out of his books.  Season 1 just finished a couple of weeks ago, its called Game of thrones,...|||Yes, I often don't feel as confident as I want to, and that negatively impacts my assertiveness.  When I think objectively about my skills and abilities and those of my friends/acquaintances, I'm...|||Well, Fi is Introverted Feeling after all, concerned mainly with your own feelings.  That can lead to empathy, as you can try to imagine how it would feel if you were in a certain situation.  But on...|||Not Lloyd Blankfein wealthy, but I do want to be well off, just because it makes life easier - if I had a medical problem, even with insurance, all the costs aren't always covered, so money would be...|||Arrogance, rudeness, passive-aggression, condescension, jealousy.  Those are probably the big characteristics that make me dislike someone.  I also dislike people who dislike me.|||I definitely see your point, and it makes sense that doing what you love will be healthier psychologically for you.  But in this economy, and with a family depending on you to feed them, I don't...|||My mom is an ISFJ, and I know her quite well.  When its good, its really good.  But when its bad, it can get kind of ugly.  Of course, have to bear in mind that the mother-son roles, besides mbti,...|||Life isn't working to get money.  Working to get money is part of life, never lose sight of the fact that life is bigger than that, encompasses many more activities and goals.  I'm sure there are...|||I'm pretty sure those aren't mutually exclusive :D.    To the OP: it's not uncommon to be in between.|||Trolololol|||In general I like intps, more than intjs.  I definitely get a very cool sort of vibe from them, but the coldness seems more a consequence of their preference for logic rather than a calculated...|||I think this goes to show that we all have different value systems.  Still, I'm surprised at the insensitivity, given that ENFJs are supposed to be Fe dominant.  I think its more a case of...|||I got 242, so I guess I'm more of a Type A.  I can't help but feel I'm more of a Type B deep down inside.  When I'm feeling happy and content I feel very B-ish.  But having been brought up by a Type...|||A = 16.6 % B = 50 % C = 66.6 % D = 50 % E = 50 % F = 83.3 %  I'm a Stop out dominant and a Changer second.  Sounds like me.  I like to do my own thing and I couldn't care less about power and...|||I'm surprised; I didn't think I would get so many replies so soon!  Thank you for your replies.      Thats interesting.  Could it be that remarks by Intuitives can sometimes seem like attempts to...|||[QUOTE=WickedQueen;1336232]Well it makes me feel relax, not caring about what other people opinion of me. I know myself better than others and their opinion of me is subjective, so I don't see why I...|||I identify somewhat with what you said about patronizing parents.  I also got upset when they tried to ignore/write my concerns off as me being overly sensitive.  I used to feel ashamed of myself...|||I don't see anything wrong with not wanting to do video chat.  It just seems to put so much more pressure on the interaction.  With written chat I can be surfing the internet, looking up random...|||I just wanted to get some ISFPs' opinions on this because I've noticed, both in my own life and in the forums, ISFPs seem to regard some things said by Intuitives (NFs and NTs) to be offensive,...|||No, I thank you for your post in the other thread.  I see the two as separate issues.  How someone deals with criticism and possessing arrogance are two different things.      I did not mean to...|||Whats the point of getting a woman if I have to be less happy in order to attract her?  Doesn't that defeat the purpose in the first place?  Unless you're the type who really buys into the...|||I really think that arrogance is just a form of ignorance.  You can't possibly be good at everything, and I agree, some of those peeps hanging out at the INTJ forum seem to think INTJs are superior...|||Thats a good point, and I know I'm reviving an old thread, but it just got me curious.  What happens when you INTJs get bullied/insulted for being incompetent?  Not just getting bullied, but...|||I read an interesting article on Psychology Today awhile back about teasing and bullying among the different genders.  Among boys, its common to tease each other sort of as a status checker, and as...|||What a great episode.  Loved the Ned Stark - Jaime Lannister exchange at the end.  That tried and true hack and slash ISTJ fighting style paired up against the ESTP performer; that was interesting to...|||Great second episode, though a little slow until the ending.  Probably doesn't help that I've read all the books that are currently available.  I know what's going to happen next, so it doesn't...|||I like tetris and League of Legends, some CS, played alot of Killing Floor, the Total War series, and WoW once in awhile.  Yeah, I play pretty much everything except RTSes.  I hate having to do all...|||No, I don't think so.  I've had some experiences with ESTJs.  Totally different personalities.  ESTJs like to fight for the sake of fighting, I feel.  Think Bill O'reilly.  They'll try to challenge...|||Where else does an unwanted sandwich go but in the trash can?  Maybe you should give it to your mom and tell her to eat it.  If she doesn't want to be a horrible and disgusting person she better eat...|||Its the same logic as that which does not kill you makes you stronger.  Wrong again, Nietzsche.  It just makes it easier for the next thing that comes along to kill you.    Bullying is about the...|||Qft.  I'm an Intuitive, and when I bother to apply myself, I usually get the concepts.  I don't like papers, and I hate doing assigned reading.  I'd much rather have timed exams, where they force you...|||Crap, I have to get my senior thesis bound today to turn in the next day, but I'm not even done with it.  Its almost 5 am.  Wish I were an ISTJ sometimes, can keep calm and focus.

How happy have you been so far with...|||I'm an INFP who's most likely going to law school this fall, but it seems like most INFPs probably would not enjoy working as a lawyer.  I'm not even talking about litigation; I have very little...|||Fiction writer.|||Totally identify with this.  In a month I'll be graduating from college and I can count on the fingers of one hand all the friends I've made.  Part of it is I'm just a lazy guy.  Its too much effort...|||I can't say I've had very much leadership experience, but from what limited experience I've had, I would suggest leading by serving.  More of a mindset thing.  Like you said, trying to make others...|||I guess people get different things out of college, but in general, yes, its worth it.
