After that 'up yours' video, I think he seems like someone who has had or is having some kind of breakdown. I also think he is very clearly a type one, not a five.

It does sound like something someone might say to invalidate the struggles of a perspective they don't understand, but I also think that this is a common misuse of the term. I imagine overthinking as something like anxiety or a lack of self discipline as it applies to your own thoughts. A...

I don't like the stereotype in general of introverted types as sitting on a window sill with a book, netflix, a cat, headphones and a mug of cocoa, watching the raindrops slide down the window. INFJs in particular are portrayed as gentle peacekeepers who don't mind endlessly supporting others...

I think introversion is glorified precisely because it is not understood, which enables some to make a spectacle of their oppression for validation, instead of enacting real change.

It seems overly reductive. Unlike reality, you can cheat at a game, which implies you can step outside of it in some way. You can deduce what kind of game you are playing and ideally choose whether or not to partake or break the rules. Essentially, a game is an abstraction of reality and...

There's a video here. You can watch the video. You can ignore it and share whatever thoughts you have anyway, or you can watch most of it and skim through a few parts, like I did. Or you can ignore the thread altogether. Whilst I think there are both potential positives and negatives to...

So, yes.

Is the real test to see whether or not we identify the test itself as misinformation? Scoring high could ironically indicate gullibility.

It's a good question. I've often doubted the possibility for psychology, or any subject for that matter, to be completely objective and impartial in its perspective. Any person who evaluates another through the lens of psychology is themselves biased by their own psychology. In which case a...

The basic issue seems to be that psychology analyzes men solely for the sake of controlling or reprimanding their behaviour in some way, rather than to understand them or engage with them at a more compassionate human level. The proposition of a deeper insecurity or pain driving mens behaviour...

I can see the point here, but I'd say the problem is applicable to many labels, not just introversion. I don't think it is helpful to brand people with a social disability because they don't conform to the culture. You could similarly say that identifying as an extrovert is problematic because...

I agree we should develop ourselves for our own benefit, rather than to be needed by others. But this kind of social change requires cooperation on a mass scale and unfortunately there are a lot of stupid men out there who hold the rest of us back with their antics.

I would hope that men would not allow themselves to be destroyed, but I understand this growing concern that we are being made to feel unnecessary, be it sexually economically or otherwise. There seems to be an almost sociopathic lack of empathy surrounding the issue of male insecurity, which...

Feminism was originally a movement, but the system got its claws into it and commercialised it. Now it will remain for as long it continues to be profitable and young women are taken in because it bolsters their insecurities. The media doesn't necessarily want real equality if it cannot profit...

I'm not sure. People can put on an act in real life. That can also create a distorted perception of reality. But yes, social media messes with our heads.
