Are INTP's typically players, because I am having trouble with one right now. I thought they are known for their complete honesty.

An addiction is an addiction when you have to ask yourself if it is an addiction.

I have two kids, and I related to them differently. I found that my son is much more like me than my daughter is. I did take things personally, but I didn't protect them as much as some other mothers I knew. Parenting was incredibly difficult, but also incredibly rewarding for me. It was the...

Thank you, I'm doing great now. I'm glad that you were able to figure out what was going on with you and that you feel better too. I hope the b12 and testosterone issues get fixed soon too.

It was kind of complicated when I was diagnosed with the b12 deficiency. One month prior to that I had part of my kidney removed because of a malignant tumor, and I didn't feel well because of that. But I felt in my heart that there was something else going on, and luckily I have a wonderful...

I had a b12 deficiency, it can actually affect anyone who has a healthy diet, ironically. For example, someone who doesn't eat much red meat or eggs. It took me a year to get my b12 into a good range, that was with monthly injections and a daily oral supplement. Three months after I stopped...

I kind of have the opposite problem - people think I like them too much. I tend to be really focused on people, and bring them out of their shells, and have them talk about themselves. Most people love to talk about themselves I've found, so I just keep asking them questions and they almost...

I like sad songs, I think because I am awed that anyone can take deep feelings and make a song about them. But often I associate a particular sad song with a person or an event and then I can't listen to it anymore.

I don't easily get into relationships, but I fall for people easily. I believe that we can have long term relationships, I was with my husband for almost 27 years. He is an ISTJ, and we were not really compatible, it wasn't a great relationship because we were so different, but I stayed with...

My therapy is 45 minutes, once a week. Every week my therapist starts by saying, "What are we talking about today?" I hate that. We have recently written down a bunch of topics and keep them in a box in his office in case I can't talk, or don't know how to start. We pull a topic out of the...

I have been married to an ISTJ for 22 years. It's not working out very well. I guess at the time the opposites attract model was in full force. Opposites may attract, but they don't last for the long haul.

I think it's difficult to realize that you are a good person. (You meaning us, INFJs)

My therapist is an ESFJ. Very social, friendly, outgoing, loves to talk, analytical, logical, extremely attractive and well dressed. But defensive, needs to feel needed, focuses on details instead of the big picture, totally in the here and now, loves problem solving, doesn't like to delve...

I really enjoyed it, the length was a bit much for me, but that could be due to the fact that we went the first night it opened and got there 45 minutes early to get a good seat. But with previews it was 2 hours and 40 minutes. Did Leo's character remind anyone else of the character he played...

Wow, thank you. I'm honored that you think that, and that you were able to glean those qualities about me from my small bit of writing. I always mean to spend more time on these forums, but something holds me back. I think perhaps it is because I am one of the oldest members here, and...
