    INFJs and fits of rage

    . . . and of course the next logical step in my mind is that now I feel like I need to be a slut in order to gain social acceptance among peers. No thanks. I'm angry that no one I can find as a potential mate (I'll add the words "these days") seems to view sex as even minimally sacred anymore.

    People who have never been hurt before...do they, exist??

    I have a view of myself as a child that's probably inaccurate. I think before the age of 8, I was definitely sensitive, but bore no scars. Hurts came and hurts went as they do in the most stable of childhoods, but I can't imagine that one had any affect on the next in any way. I learned to...

    INFJs and fits of rage

    INFP micro-rant, if you don't mind. I was at a party for three teammates-turned-friends last night, and being probably the most pronounced introvert in a bunch of ENFPs and ESFPs, I experienced a bit of a private blow-up over how I viewed my sexual identity unfolding. I'm nearly 30 and I've...

    Today I Lived

    I just checked. It's not that exact painting, but one in the series.

    Today I Lived

    What a wonderful description. I'm sure it lifted me a bit too. Thanks for sharing it. The other reason I'm writing here, Midnight, is that my parents have your avatar hanging on their bedroom wall. Or if not, it's definitely the same artist. :)

    does it hurt when you are criticized?

    Hehehe, thank you DA. No, I think I learned something from last night actually. Just a different approach to writing that I haven't needed in a while, 'cause I haven't been writing much.

    does it hurt when you are criticized?

    It didn't used to hurt -- not getting any votes in the poetry contest -- but generally the hurt is an on/off switch that I never seem to decide. Now I just feel like writing something depressing in every single thread.

    Using your voice

    Got this idea from the INFP board, and I figure it's equally relevant here. I'm going to use "voice" to mean both the physical sounds made by you, and the contributions you make. Do you feel you use your voice to its best advantage? Are you confident with the tendencies of your...

    Something is rotten in the state of sport

    It's true. Serena does come back from more match points against than probably anyone on Earth. And thanks for the nice chat. I was taking the piss a little bit at the tennis-ball-down-throat scenario, but that's only because I was surprised at the utter lack of shock in the sports world.

    Something is rotten in the state of sport

    If more of us walked around all day with tennis balls shoved down our throats, I suppose we'd probably just grow gills and adapt! But I do thank you for your defence of Serena. Both of the Williams sisters do an enormous amount of good for the sport, and much philanthropic work off the court...

    Something is rotten in the state of sport

    I forgot to update this over the weekend. Serena was fined $82,500. If she has another major incident over a two-year probationary period, the fine would increase to $175,000, and she would be forced to miss the following U.S. Open. For all the money she has, it's not even a minor...

    The "J" in INFJ

    'J' is not your prime judging function. Fe is. Fe is about placing social and philosophical relationships in some sort of hierarchy, which is still an extraverted judging process. It entails a sort of organization that may cause the users to appear very "disorganized" in the usual Te terms in...

    Cognitive Confusion

    I always thought Ne was my abstract function. It's certainly the one that can make my co-workers say "wtf are you talking about?" That's very interesting, VH.

    good will hunting

    If anything, the movie serves to remind me how unidentifiable people of certain MBTI families are based on surface criteria. To his friends, Will was probably much more ESFP/ESTP. It's great writing.
