I'm wondering if your love for nature is due to the fact that there's nothing fake about it. Nature is very honest. Plus, its the only setting where there are no expectations. You can get lost in your thoughts very easily out while camping or hiking.

Something else to think about, Kat and others, is not just WHAT someone does, but also WHY they do it. Two people can engage in conversations for completely different reasons. For example, when I start conversations with strangers, its for a very very specific reason...like a social experiment...

I've been with the same guy for 18 years. We have 3 kids together. We prefer to not be married. We don't need anyone to tell us our monogomous relationship is official. I think its better this way. No one feels forced to stick around. If for any reason one of us wants to leave, we can. I also...

By not fighting it, I mean just let it pass naturally. When you feel the urge to jump into and idea, then do it. When you're experiencing intellectual limbo, just let yourself go into auto pilot. During this "down time", I try to connect with friends I've been neglecting, fiddle with other...

This happens to me sometimes too. In fact, I've recently asked about this in a thread... a few weeks ago anyway. The responses I got pointed to stress. I'm still not so sure. I'm leaning toward brain fatigue because that what it feels like. It can last up to 3 weeks for me but then my brain is...

Thanks. I'll go check it out when I get a minute. I rarely share my work but I feel safe here heehee.

An INTP parent thread would be great. I'm dying to find out who else tries to keep their children occuppied in their rooms with video games, books, and art supplies. I have 3 boys. 5yr old twins and a 10 yr old. One of the twins I think is an introvert. The other 2 kids talk NONSTOP all day and...

Welcome. As long as you don't eat the pi you should be fine. Just dive in. And yes, that was a poor attempt at pun usage. If you need me, I'll be in the corner thinking about what I've done.

These are strategies that have been working for me. Feel free to use it or not :) As far as communication goes, most of what you need to do is listen intently to what the other person is saying and then either provide your opinion or actual facts about the topic. Sometimes you might want to...

I'm pretty convinced it's yes :D

Hi.

Speaking for myself, as an INTP, I think almost the opposite about others. Therefore, my poor self confidence stems from something entirely different. My issue is that I see way too many possibilities to even make a final decision. This is what holds me back 99% of the time and its also what...

I'm a bored tourist. When is the next tour of the ruins? I'm sure there's still something good in there. Probably worth money too.

Agreed. My family in general is stable. I feel okay as long as we're together even if we're roughing it. I've always appreciated change myself and I enjoy the roaming. It's kinda refreshing, but I am slightly worried that my kids may suffer some future consequences. Then again, I believe that...

Hmmm, let's see. I'm living in an apartment with my husband and our 3 boys, but as usual, we'll be moving again in about 2 weeks. I believe the whole "moving every year or so" thing is wearing me down now. Plus there's this battle between what I think stability means for my kids and what society...
