  • Let me clarify before moving on: I am not a professional psychologist. Information I share has been gathered from personal experience, reading scientific literature, and the recommendations of my own health-care providers.

    That said, it sounds to me like you just needed something meaningful to occupy your attention. You are correct in recalling that inaction is stagnating. The brain receives, on average, about six billion signals per second - it's built with action in mind. Without meaningful work to do, brain activity literally dims and the body slows down. Logic and philosophy are great ways to engage yourself in various aspects of life.
    I feel more comfortable believing morality is subjective. My stance on morality isn't solid- it's something I don't know much about in terms of philosophy!
    Absolutely. There may be things that are entirely out of my understanding. We could certainly put most religions in that category.

    No one understands anything in this existence "fully". Anyone who claims to is lying not only to others but to themselves as well. I have come across countless religious types who are completely unwilling to admit there are flaws in their doctrines when they are clearly littered with flaw. While there may be some merit in adhering to the basic premise of what these teach...

    I believe your misunderstanding is dependent partially on not wanting to understand what I have said. This however is neither a good thing or a bad thing. It is, just a thing and its what I categorize as a wall people are unwilling to scale.
    Hi, there. Is your worry about occasional inattention/daydreaming the result of a problem in your life or a concern for being logical, perhaps rigidly so? There's nothing inherently wrong with daydreams, after all. I quite enjoy them =)

    I believe honed analytical skills are an invaluable help in effectively decoding and navigating life and its problems. I do not think it a cure-all or a mark of godly abilities, despite the Ti-fetish many INFJs have because it is their tertiary function. But if you're asking whether such skills increase overall concentration, no, I don't think so; it just increases our awareness of details and subtly. We're all still human and are prone to the pull of imagination and wishfulness, an exploratory state of being upon which much happiness depends IMO.

    I personally day-dream and let my mind wander on a daily basis because most of my insights come from such activities. As Ni-dominants, it's important to remember that our primary information processor is unconscious - it works best when allowed to disengage from our physical environment and its pressures. Only in solitary contemplation can Ni perform its trademark act of synthesizing massive amounts of information to generate novel perspectives and ideas. It's good to want to be connected to the world and what's going on, but do not cut yourself off from your natural mode of operation in doing so =) Such behaviors cause undue stress.

    Do note, however, that concentration is affected by a multitude of factors, ranging from nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress and anxiety, interest, the perceived importance of whatever you're trying to concentrate on, and general motivation. Any and all of these things can contribute to concentration deficits.
    yeah, i get that a lot. I have no idea why.

    and yeah, i set around the national average for women in my country - so there's plenty the same height or shorter, or women who don't care that much :D
    I will give it a try...but you must know....I have tried just about everything under the sun....it’s just how things are...I’ve mostly come to terms with the fact that I will always be in some kind of pain....at least until they can replace my spine with one grown in a lab....lol.
    I’m okay....the Doctors have been changing my medications for my arthritis around....it makes me feel very anxious...ugh!
    Other than that....just kind of going through the motions of life....not really actively participating lately...sometimes I feel very stuck in my body and where I am in life in general.
    How about you? What new?
    very true. my mind works exactly the same way. i suppose people who are good at being players are able to do it because...well, they genuinely dont see much wrong with being absorbed by more insipid dimensions of a person. but of course i always wanted more than that...
    You accidentally posted this on your wall and not mine, but I caught it, so no mind. Anyhow, I agree with this. INTJ seems to fit. When I read the description, I felt violated. I sat in the shower rocking back and forth for hours.

    Obviously I didn't but I do have a sense of humor, so... :)

    And thank you for the compliment!
    I head up to members pics.
    You two look adorable and beautiful :D. Now that I clearly saw your eyes, I can tell that you certainly aren't a INTP. You have a very focused look, more Ni like.
    INTPs have Ne eyes, and they give a very clear impression of naivety, because their eyes don't focus, the look more like scatered around.

    But this is only from my experience and Socionics V.I., so I would say don't base anything on it :p
