Sneaking onto the huge property of someone who did me serious wrong as a child, with a bunch of my friends, armed, and tying them up and torturing them for...|||Hmmmmm. Just so this doesn't sink my thread, why don't I add some more helpful info at this point? :)  E/I: I seem to prefer being around others generally, and as far as I can remember, I always...|||OK, here are my answer's to Spades' Questionnaire:  0. Is there anything that may affect the way you answer the questions?   For example, a stressful time, mental illness, medications, special life...|||I second that, being one.  But this is hardly the first time I've cringed at what some of them spew out in the name of Christ. Honestly, what an embarrassing collection of drivel. Only they appear...|||1. No 2. Not sure how clowns are misleading but I like them. Not so, fake flowers. 3. Sure? 4. Well enough, unless I'm in a misanthropic mood.  5. Definitely not. 6. Hm. Depends--what's it for?...|||Um, no. I do have a general disregard for rules. At the very least, I think we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that they're put in place for a purpose and if they get in the way instead, I won't...|||WTF?   I've been starting to wonder whether I really am an INFJ or not and since someone told me you should consider what's attractive to you sexually, since that's more likely to be somehow...|||xNxJ for sure, IMO. I do think circumstances like the ones you've been through could mask one's true type (or shape it, for that matter) but from what you describe, it sounds like extroversion,...|||I've started to wonder again. For years I couldn't nail down all four letters, but was almost positive I was an N and a T. I'll confess up front I haven't studied the MBTI in any real depth. I read...|||The Road to Perdition by Thomas Newman My December by Linkin Park Track 10 off the Goo Goo Dolls' Dizzy up the Girl album...can't remember title Dust in the Wind by Kansas always depressed...|||Happy Thanksgiving!

But this time I guess won't try to be nice about it, either. Complex words? Lol. Try looking them up if you have to, if you can't see the substance of my argument: Fe doesn't...|||Well, sometimes I feel like I suck at being an INFJ, so I sympathize with your confusion.  Seriously, from what you describe, you're obviously an INxJ. And from what you said about emotions and...|||1. INFJ 2. Female 3. N/A 4. Seeing and Auditory 5. d, a, e 6.

When I was a teenager, it was my dream to be an ESTP. I'm an E8, so maybe my 8 instincts long for the freedom I imagine an archetypal ESTP would have. The...|||I agree with Bear. It sounds like you're trying really hard to prove that you're a good kid, to deserve to be treated well. You have my sympathies for that, because I tried to do the same thing. For...|||I think the key is remembering that Fe picks up external moods of others, the vibe of a situation, etc. This need not presuppose that every Fe dom will respond to what they pick up with solicitous...|||No offense meant, but I have to say, this strikes me as complete bullshit.

Especially the grunge/nonconformist years when everyone was just casual...and girls/women weren't so revoltingly cutesy and child-like...*sighs*|||I'm glad you are at least starting to see it like it is. If you can see that he is a bastard, and a terrible father and human being, you're that much closer healthy, and to internal freedom, even...|||Exactly what I was thinking. Thanks for saying it so succinctly. I've been to three continents, and these are definitely the cultures where I got that toxic reaction. And unlike culture shock, it...|||There's nowhere I'd ever want to live other than the US, and I've seen and studied enough of the rest of the world to say this with assurance.   ...However, I'd say American culture definitely...|||Not For a Moment by Meredith Andrews   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlQNFQ9RWG8|||Thanks. Certainly will apply for residency asap. And was basically doing all the rest as well. The uni's a CUNY school in NYC. I calmed down substantially when I learned from financial aid that your...|||I'm transferring out of state to a university in New York City.  How do you pay for this???  I'm an Honors student and soon-to-be AmeriCorps member with a 3.4 GPA (higher in the spring), and I'll...|||Umm, Sprouts, Sunflower Market, Fry's, Safeway, & Target (they tend to have grocery sections now, and they're much cheaper than supermarkets)|||Hey, Jason.  I'm a psych student, too.  Welcome to PerC!|||I thought there should be a thread for this question, since there's one asking the opposite.  I kind of answered the question in my reply on that thread, but here it is again:  I wouldn't want to...|||An SJ, especially an ESTJ.

I mean, with rubs, spices--am I supposed to actually, like--rub them into raw meat?  I'm still leery of touching it (as...|||I feel the same way regarding truth, and I think I've finally reached a place of inner security in my life where I can handle it without its dragging my heart down (like it used to when I was a kid)....|||Hmm...Hmm...  It's edible with my olive oil and Italian seasonings (after I added salt)...  But very tough.  I got spooked (and disgusted) when I saw blood come out where I poked, and apparently left...|||No.  Unfortunately, that's what makes psychopaths what they are:  they neither can nor want to empathize with other people.  One good book on this is The Sociopath Next Door by Martha Stout, Ph.D. ...|||Thank you!  That sets my mind at ease, because one of the only thing I know (or thought I knew) about food is that raw meat can be dangerous.  I don't know what a marinade is, and all I have in the...|||Exercise.  This is really powerful, especially for people who have to live in very stressful situations like yours.   Creative activities, especially those that are physically demanding, like...|||Well, I'm glad you want to help others and make this world a little less fucked up.  I think we all have an obligation to do so, regardless of where we come from, but I know from experience that it's...|||I've never cooked in my life (seriously--if it weren't for fully cooked entrees and the microwave, I'd be living on fast food), so any advice would be greatly appreciated.  :)  I've finally decided...|||That sounds really cool.  Was the general theme of the dreams/stories similar to the ones you use from your imagination or were they different?  I'm just wondering if dreams bring up themes we might...|||It's impossible to say based on that alone.  And, I have to say, it strikes me as ludicrous that you could summarily dismiss all the people of a single particular dominant function for that function...|||Are there any other people on here who like to write (creatively)?  Even if you don't, do you ever get ideas for stories?  Where do your ideas come from?  For me, ordinarily, I'd say, Out of...|||I have the same thing, and thought I was more extroverted than most introverts, but I'm also very introverted in that I need alone time for contemplation, reflection, recharging, etc.  It's really...|||Thank you so much for posting this!  Yes, I've had the same dilemma all my life, but you articulate it far more comprehensibly (and creatively and coherently) than I think I ever have.  Also,...|||Welcome!  I was gladdened, too, to learn that at least 1% of the population thinks like me... in some ways...:crazy:  Happy Trails.|||I want to solidify my J.  I think it would make me more effective (Js generally seem to be :)  Reading this thread is a little stressful, though.  I've been trying to work through some things, be...|||Welcome, newbie.  Sorry to hear of your troubles.  I hope you and your kids come through it OK.  My thought is that there's a lesson to be learned in it.  Try to extract that, take it with you on the...|||It sure as shit does if that's their position in your neck of the woods.  I'm in the US, and I can tell you, if you went down to any local parish and said that, they'd about have an apoplexy.  It...|||Exactly.  If someone understands this, then to my mind, they understand what it is to be a true friend/lover.  I don't think I ask a great deal of people, really, beyond the basics, and I give as...|||What's important to me is loyalty, trustworthiness, and shared values in my inner circle.  Personality type is a distant fourth--or maybe tenth--if it registers at all.  It's true I need intellectual...|||Question 1:  NOOOO.     Question 2:  Because life experience has taught me better than that. Question 3:  It depends entirely on how they've broken it.  There's a world of difference in the way I...'
