I'm a heavy board gamer. In recent years, board gaming has undergone a sort of 'revolution' in depth and fun. New games come out all the time with surprisingly, fresh mechanics and playing takes only an hour or so for most of them. They're no longer the great, empty, boring time sinks like...

I've sat back tonight after finishing a dreadfully sad story and realized I am terrified of the ending to my tale. This story was about a sweet girl who was given to live for thousands of years to save the lives of everyone on her world. Her friends and family weren't. They died around...

I'm afraid this is an incredibly difficult and multi-layered answer you've asked for. I should qualify my statements though. Those who survive the oncoming (but temporary) period of 'fascism' will have such an opportunity. Fascism is based heavily on fear. If we equate the brain to the...

This is a pitiful, knee-jerk response and you should feel bad. This essay isn't really about class warfare. It touches on it, yes, but this was about the anthropological and psychological reasons a society falls apart and how it is justified in the minds of those responsible. I'm not...

There's quite a lot of screaming going on in the media... honestly? I couldn't think of a better way to start this than that? Okay, lets try this again. I set out to figure out how it's possible to have absolutely no empathy whatsoever for other people. I plugged along for some time, looking...

I'm ashamed to admit I've had possessiveness issues in the past but they can be overcome. Relying entirely on a single person for your whole social landscape is supremely unhealthy. This is likely to force a big change in your life. Still, if you need someone to give you some love, feel free...

A short term job couldn't hurt. I'm hearing a lot about volunteer work and considering how thoroughly INFJ's (myself included) get off on helping people that might be worthwhile. Keep'em coming!

Heehee... INTJ's can be so literal! It's okay. I don't mean road-side accidents so much as... oh wow, it's going to be like trying to explain fog to a blind person. I don't mean to say you're disabled in any way but we experience the world in different ways. Horrible things for me tend to...

I'm gonna say it. I'm lonely. Fuck. This isn't a particularly unusual thing. I'm an INFJ. I'm a bit out there but it takes effort tolerate other people because they just leak emotions everywhere! I've found myself isolating the last few months and I'm just not enjoying it. I had a...

I've dated unhealthy INFJ's before and while we can be helped the process is extraordinarily time consuming. While you are probably capable of that I don't recommend it no matter how much you care for him. His mind will have to heal and unless you're prepared to spend time each and every day...

I swear, this has been one of the most enlightening threads I've ever posted. I've seen everything from rank revulsion to fear to genuine interest and empathy. I wonder sometimes if people can empathize with someone whose gone so far from the idea of a 'nominal' personality. Two thirds of...

BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes, I giggled pretty hard. You're not wrong though.

I know I am very gentle. I mean, aside the proclivity for BDSM and some pretty intense masochistic tendencies. It's not like I'd set myself on fire. ...Again. Arg. There are so many things I'd like to be able to say I'd never tried. I don't like hurting people despite the interest in...

Trust me, I know exactly how messed up it is...and that's only the gentle, easy to get along with parts of my brain spitting back up some of the stuff I expose it to. The really gritty stuff is just GROSS. Heee!

This is a really weird question to ask, I know. I am a deeply empathetic person but I have a streak of malevolence which runs good and deep. Yes, on the one side I love My Little Pony. On the other, I sit and study the Holocaust, Unit 731, the Rape of Nan King, and North Korea. I listen to...
