Anxiety is a struggle with existential reality. It comes with all types, but It probably takes on different styles of resolution, or coping depending on Personality type; that's assuming mbti is scientific. I would imagine that certain defence mechanisms, (resultant trains of anxiety), are...

Ahhh. The invigorating sexual contrast probably really is less prominent these days. I doubt that our era, in the future, will be regarded as a particularly romantic one. There's something visceral, and deeply tangible about the contrast you speak of. Maybe the need for that Brawny...

I've been a nurse for 15 years. The area I work in allows for a lot fairly extensive health history taking. When I assess people, I am also in the quiet habit of trying to place them using mbti. Certain types of diseases most definately have personalities that go along with them. I can...

You are being too broad, and so making it easier for people to attack you, which I don't like to see. It's like a meeting that covers too many areas, so nothing gets resolved, just random shots thrown across the room. I'm interested in an example of what brought you to feeling compelled enough...

I'm thinking more, what may be the most prominent causative factor, then work from there... Pollution, genetic engineering, mutation... What brought your mind to cannibalism? Maybe our bodies will create a better filtration system...

I'm curious, what it is in your life that has prompted your stance. I'm thinking it may be more specific than you have let on. In my environment, (a hospital), there is a definite line between the two. Obviously, medically, sex cannot be ignored, period. Why should it? It's just...

No night sweats. Phew. I'd hazard to guess your issue is metabolic, or homonal. I'm thinking celiac, although I don't have enough info to say for sure. I'd have a much better idea if I could watch you in person, and see your complexion, and tongue, you're manurisms, ask other very personal...

Hmmmm. I'm wondering... Do you have night sweats, or pain (shoulders, back, or abdomen), any gastric reflux? When was your child born? Any food intolerances?

Degrees in liberal arts are productive in that they can encourage critical thinking, but they often don't promise any sort of job after. In Canada right now, 1 in 10 teachers are hired, and that's one of the few things you can do with an arts degree. To get a job with an astrophysics...

After my sister died, and another traumatic incident, I was psychologically very unwell for years. I had to see a psychiatrist after, as my family Dr. Did not want to leave me unattended after the shock. My sister and I were extremely closed. I was diagnosed with severe depression. I could...

I'm wondering if it's a more general Ni/J appreciation thing.

The INTJ's in my life are an inch wide, and a mile deep, and not to be mistaken for having boundaries that are not deeply rooted and thought out. My INTJ's are people that I have a profound respect for. Maybe it's because I have a good understanding of how they come to thier conclusions. In...

I think karma plays a huge role. I often feel humbled by my fortunes though, like 'bullshit, I don't deserve that, but I'll take it and pay it forward...', but I know that's because I've been drop kicked in the past, and have had to fight to be where I am. How much of what we feel entitled to...

You sound like my intj husband, who is a keeper, so I pay heed to his need for boundaries. Sadly though, it makes me feel like a puppet on occasion.

If there is good enough reason to re-evaluate the deal, then ofcourse I'm willing to compromise, but by no means am I a doormat. Where is the wisdom in stubbornly defending a stance that may be of little value, or obsolete, in leau of a more enlightened stance? In no way though, would that...
