This is for those of us who, like me, make threads that make people wonder if it is a duplicate thread or not. Often I get into a topic and many ideas in relation to that topic come to mind and some of them seem to need their own thread. The problem is that there is a strong relational...

I have within me a philosopher. I have within me a person who upholds verbal freedom to a great degree. Regardless of this, the world exists in moderation and cares not from my ideals. There are limits to everything. So what is my limit? What is my role? Should anyone be exempt from being under...

I have seen a portion of individuals on this forum who highly value self expression in their speech. By this I do not mean the practical content of what they are saying but of the way they choose to say it. I have combined multiple questions in one sentence below. Perhaps, I am expressing my...

To all who like to correct mistakes, I am working on my horrible grammar, so if you have the time to correct me and want to call me an idiot I would like your help in the first and I will take care of the second. You can stick corrections in here or PM me or do it in the middle of a...

I rarely have them. I had a month where I had a 5 hour energy drink every week or more and by the next month I was in the hospital due to heart palptations and an anxiety attack. It was the first one in my life so I did not know what it was. Two weeks ago I started to drink Red Bull. Later...

This forum has been a good experience and full of learning and expanding of myself. There are people here that can connect to each other intellectually in ways others cannot. There is an understanding. And there are a lot of individuals who jump in and try to help with first hand understanding...

I thought about what I see as beautiful. When staring at scenery, a mountain to be exact, I see snow. I see how it melts and runs down into the ground and feeds the trees and quenches the thirst of animals. I see life. I see thinner air and animals that love the safety of those rocks. I see...

I am not really interested in friends perhaps that is why I have so few if any at all. But... I think it wise to ensure that I am not just driving them away through irritation or other negativity on this forum. So what of it? Do you think I need reform?

I can barely remember the feeling. I used to feel guilty all the time. Now I don't feel guilty about anything. I am wondering if others experience the lack of guilt. I took some sociopath tests and it still passed me as normal because I still do the right thing and empathize/sympathize. IDK...

Anxiety is supposed to be a symptom of Nihilism but if nothing has meaning what are you anxious about?

I was thinking about using intuition to rewrite the past for a few days now. I was trying to decide how healthy it is to do this. I was also trying to determine if a lack of doing this can lead to loss of past memories. I personally have little recollection of my childhood or even up to a year...

I have not needed or taken depression, ADD, or ADHD drugs but I have seen people I grew up with be changed by them. I am aware that the drugs make it easier to deal with certain emotions and to stay focused on tasks etc... My question is if, by making these easier, does the individual...

Is ignorance a sin? I use the term loosely. What I mean to ask is, "Do you blame people for being ignorant. Do you blame yourself when you don't forsee something occuring?" I put a lot of expection on myself to anticipate things. I don't exactly blame myself unless I feel I did not put all my...

There are devices in the future that will be monitor your brainwaves as you play games, surf the web, watch tv, and view advertisements. The purpose of this is to control your computer with your mind. Think of how fun it would be to play a game with hand movements, expressions, and "thoughts"...

I have realized that my subconscious has a memory shelved off from my conscious mind. My intuition seems to be able to use a lot of different data and send them to me in feelings and image. The data comes in as a story in my head like a vision but the process is done as if daydreaming. I can see...

They lived for hundreds of years and they spend all their time as blood addicts and pedaphiles Thanks, vampire diaries and Twilight. So if you had infinite time what would you do with it? I am excited to see what I could learn and accomplish scientifically if I could live forever. I...

It is interesting how each side of the brain contains certain feelings. The left contains positive feelings and the right contains the negative feelings. For me the right brain 'consciousness' is a strong consciousness. I believe that I try to communicate with people in an odd manner, as if my...

I have realized that I cannot remember a single time I asked for advice to handle an emotional dilemma since I was 17 and that was 11 years ago. I don't feel stubborn but I do feel that I don't need help. Am I under some grand delusion? What would be the right questions to ask myself and...

I have seen a number of IQ and intelligence tests come through this forum. The question is, "why?". Is this something to do with the people on this forum or is it to do with INTPs in general? What in our subjective value system makes us rush in to take these things? Are we trying to prove...

Re: Do you belong here? I don't understand the phrase, 'belong here'. I'm either here or I'm not.

It seems as if different types take offense at different things. What offends you? What insults are hurtful what are funny and what is just irritating? Let me start... I am supposedly INTP . I rarely take offense because it is hard to be angry at the truth and even harder to be angry at...

@Absurdity I wonder if I put up a picture of an old guy. Would people think I am wise?

MY IDEA: Just for this example we will make these definitions MBTI Thinking we will call Concrete Processing (CP) MBTI Feeling we will call Emotion Processing (EP) Let us forget the MBTI terms for now because feeling and thinking functions still require "thinking" and it can get confusing if...
