Hummm...Interesting that you start a thread to debate those irrational stupid religious members who you want eradicated from the forum. What could it mean? :D

In a situation like this, it's understandable to want him to express his remorse for what he did to your life and the irrevocable change that you now have to deal with. He has not been forthcoming and hasn't taken the initiative to express his sorrow for his actions but instead you've initiated...

Your welcome. Glad you got the full experience!

I don't think this has been done. As much as I love alternative, jazz, blues, rock sometimes I crave beautiful harmonies and voice as the ultimate instrument. This album moves me. Divna Ljubojevic. A most clear and beautiful voice http://youtu.be/rRb-IgYjW1A

Moody, ethereal under and raw over. Bit jazzy. Like it! :) 8/10 http://youtu.be/YFvXt2PFnB8

Introverted intuitives as a group. I'm torn between INFP and INTP. Voted for INFP. They probably embody both book and people smarts.

@brandywk, you might want to read the Eyes without a face thread. http://www.intpforum.com/showthread.php?t=15923 The poster is INFJ and does a very good job of describing Ni. @absurdity That was a very good distinction through your quote. Curious, as an INTJ, what reaction do you have after...

7/10 Like the folk, working man thyme and love Judy's voice. http://youtu.be/VlvJ4aQ6A7U

I'm sorry to hear about your marital difficulties. I've been a therapist (many years ago) and been to therapy for what thats worth. A cognitive behavioral therapist is probably better suited for behavioral problems such as OCD, phobias in general and the like. In your situation, you may find a...

Sucky short poem but you kept on asking for something so I obliged:rolleyes: Should I not feel light by now? Airy sprite by now? Giggling, bubbling, skipping joy By now? Call me turtle Call me Atlas Bake it, burn it, peel it off Like a dog whose heavy wet I'll shrug and shake it off Now

Only familiar with Zero 7 and love some of their stuff. You might be interested in Yo La Tango's "Let's Be Still" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bxg6XyFKqHo I don't like much of Lamb but "Angelica" is gorgeous https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JJMAhK5GWg

Good one! :D I actually thought of the movie Harvey and the imaginary pooka. Both a projection of ourselves?

Very poetic way of putting it. A recursive process-the universe acting on me and me acting on the universe. All is both the influencer and influenced leading to a unique expression of the unending enfolding of the universe.

You posed an interesting question. I would venture to say the languages within a society of high creativity, innovation and technology is one factor. This is related to the need for new or hybrid words that more succinctly express concepts. Another is how open that society is to other cultures...

I get that. I'm much better at seeing others than myself-maybe an INFJ thing? I'll give it a stab. You are the passionate opinionated critic with strong allegiance to some on the forum but you're your own person. I might have some other takes but for now, that's all I got. Oh, and don't get...

I like that! Can I use it for my own?

Cherry, what's your role here? :D No, really.

It would be easy to list a number of actions you can take but you seem to be a very bright person and I'm sure those you can figure out yourself. I'll just write what I hope will help and I would also urge you to consider a counselor or if not that, a trusted friend to talk with. Much can be...

Cog, what do think about MentalBrain's post #21?

Thanks for this and I'll add high self awareness can be put to other uses than manipulation alone. I do however agree that intelligence and self and other awareness (including mind-mapping) play a strong part in manipulation. On the issue of determinism and free-will, I think I was...

I was reading a psych article (Daniel Stern's work) on what determines real change in therapy. It made me think of your post. The article talked about intersubjective moments of meeting between two people (could be therapist and client or a married couple etc...). An example was set forth in the...

Care to elaborate?

Sums it up nicely. I assume people are good going into getting to know them but with a good amount of caution. And the comment about some not understanding their motivations-the sad truth but all the more reason to use caution.

That's a really brave thing to do! Your wife's breasts look awesome and from what she said, it seemed like she enjoyed showing off her body. Good for you both!

The title says it all. Think you've nailed it. I was devastated to find out I'm not perfect ;) A little compassion for yourself can go a long way after you sooth your ego and find a more 'real' you.

I would say the neocortex modulates the reptilian brain rather than serves it. I think of it as a control center where impulses and emotions are filtered. So I'm not placing one over the other. Regarding female pregnancy, attachment hormones can and do inhibit sexual desire so over the typical...

@brontosaurie I'm not sure what you're getting at? I didn't say it's all neocortex. It's an integrated whole, including hormones. I was differentiating between human and non-human sexual desire, the former having a neocortex in play. And I wasn't addressing sexual selection but addressing sexual...

The hormones associated with lust or desire to have sex with any semi-appropriate partner is associated with testosterone and estrogen in BOTH men and women. Romantic love involves dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. Attachment involves oxytocin and vasopressin. Because of how dopamine...

I've had a good deal of experience with it. I think it's a matter of perspective. If you can have a mind set of adventure rather than a chore, then that's half the battle. To make it successful, you have to keep the conversation going and not let it drag out before a first meeting. I find the...

Well said. Honest. I've liked your posts. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the receiver of the carefully worded INTP speech were just as careful in not reading too much or too little in the communication? Much can be learned from INTP communication.

A chill went through my spine :eek: :D

Sexual desire problems or sexual disparity is very common however the underlining reasons are usually not so straight forward. We can conjecture but it's safe to say the problems lie with both. There is always a low desire partner just as there is always a high desire partner in every...

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Recommend it highly. Great special affects, apes are believable, good writing and most important, it wasn't over the top. Subtle relationships between apes and humans. Could have been very hokey but this held back in the right places.

Science is a complex social activity imbedded in a science culture and as such, can and has to be effected by and within it's own culture: "The direction of scientific research is affected by informal influences within the culture of science itself, such as prevailing opinion on what questions...

I don't know if you're being sarcastic but I find this to reflect my experience of empiricism. I'm not posting in an effort to refute empiricism but to point out that subjective views seem to be the wheelhouse and wellspring of new idea and thought. So in this way, it feeds in nicely to...

I don't think I want to read about it. I know it exists but it's too close to torture and that always makes me nauseous. The intensional infliction of pain, abuse and humiliation I can't handle.

Nice to see you posting.

I have an "immature ass" shoe in your size.

I'm not understanding. At first you said you " just wanted to test peoples reactions to my response" then later "Where is the line before you can joke about something? " Was you comment a joke or was your friend making a joke of your comment that you through out to test reactions? Was your...

I'm well-rounded:p

If you want to go out with a woman, then it helps to have and be able to articulate your reasons for wanting to go out with that specific woman (not women in general). Suggestion, go back to the woman who said no to you and tell her you were/are impressed with her answer (only if this is...

My thoughts exactly. Society is moving. The pendulum never stops swinging but hopefully over time, the swings (over-reaction) become less volatile.

The yin yang notion seems to be what you're describing Cog. Between two characters where one is male and the other female and within one person where there is characteristics of both. From Wikipedia: Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to...

Maybe I'm feeling particularly sentimental but that touched my heart:) It goes to show how intensity of feeling expressed in the physical can be overwhelming and you have to break it off to get your bearings. Anyhow...

Because I'm drawn to simplicity or an elegant convergence of Truth. But I'm torn by uncertainty too.

I don't know much about the Jonzes and Coppola relationship but the Tinker/Feeler dynamic is one aspect the movie clearly portrays. I will have to disagree with your assessment with Theodore and having INFJ traits. Read the link, it does a good job outlining the internal/external tension...
