Ciao!

[Zemian]

Hi, everyone I'm Antonio, a 23 years old guy from Northern Italy looking for what to do with his life (one of the few things I am sure about: I have to improve my English, so sorry for the mistakes).

I like:
-reading about personal development and practising those techniques.
-daydreaming
-travel
-politics (libertarian/ancap)
-black humor

As I said, as many others INTPs I'm looking for what to do with my life, but I'm going to start studying programming again.
At now I'm a worker in a supermarket. In facts, it seems that being an INTP isn't enough to get a well-paid job, apparently, you are supposed to know how to do something. What a shame!
Here I am, I hope to find like-minded people and nice conversations.
Have a nice day!

I guess it takes significant amounts of knowledge and good choices to be able to make a living like that, specialisation or competition everywhere.

Welcome to the forum.

Did you come across some effective self development practices? Can you share your experience regardless of success?

By black humour do you mean jokes black people tell and get or jokes about black people (including but not limited to racist jokes).

Anyway, welcome. I hope you find something here useful. I can't tell whether those will be our controversial threads or the really silly ones. Enjoy your stay.

Be careful with your humor. Black humor is like food; not everyone gets it.

Dark humor!

Any movie suggestions? I've been watching a lot of dark comedy lately

Documentaries on famine and pestilence always bring out my inner clownmensch.

Thanks! Yes I was joking about the work, I'm trying to build a sort of little specialisation while I'm looking for what I really want to do.
My interest in self development is really typical of an INTP: I started with a lot of procrastination (although my interest started two years ago, I started just on this July to apply some practical techniques, and I started with those that can allow me to overcome the biggest INTP's problems: I meditate twenty minutes a day to improve my concentration and my self control, and this August I started to keep a daily journal to analyze myself and try to find what I want from my life.
I also read a lot of self-development books and blogs, and in those I find what habit I have to improve (I plan to improve one positive habit per month in the next years)

By black humour do you mean jokes black people tell and get or jokes about black people (including but not limited to racist jokes).

Thanks, Alias! I mean jokes about nationality, ethnic groups, disabilities, sexual orientations, people with physical flaws, deaths and everything that can offend and make you laugh at the same time.

Be careful with your humor. Black humor is like food; not everyone gets it.

To be honest, black humor is the only black thing I like.

Dark humor!

I don't usually watch movies, I know black humor most from jokes or TV sketches, but maybe follow Rook's advice:

Documentaries on famine and pestilence always bring out my inner clownmensch.

and create your own black humor! I don't look such documentaries, but I can do black humor on a lot of things.

And I always thought "ciao" was equal to "good bye"....

As I said, as many others INTPs I'm looking for what to do with my life, but I'm going to start studying programming again.

Start programming again? Do you mean start from 0 or are you kind of good?

I am a computer engineer who know how to program, but I recognize i am not the best, at all. Nor I wanna be.

Welcome , this is my first post here! I'll introduce myself...
