The ISTP and the Therapist

Therapist: So what is it that you’re feeling? ISTP: I’m not sure but I think it’s bad.

Japanese, Hebrew, and Scottish Gaelic

If by some miracle you instantly became fluent in 3 foreign languages, what would they be? This includes various forms of sign language and Braille. I’d choose Spanish and French for media consumption and Russian because communism, lol.

If you use occasional use of common metaphors as evidence a character is intuitive I can use occasional going outside and noticing things as evidence a character is a sensor.

I’m not sorry and I do make the rules.

i just saw a post saying ppl wont be able to talk to their internet friends if net neutrality is repealed and ppl rly need to stop making misinformational posts

bad things that will happen if net neutrality is repealed

companies will be able to censor information and effectively shut down websites of social movements they disagree with, such as BLM or planned parenthood

small website owners (such as independent artists who have their own websites for hosting webcomics) will have to pay more to keep those websites hosted

many controversial and small websites such as i just listed will lose their platforms

internet monopolies will increase in number and become harder to challenge, such as how youtube has a monopoly on video sharing.

things that will NOT happen

consumers who don’t own websites having to pay more to access the internet / parts of the internet

the internet ending

most of the things in the posts going around tumblr 

here is a post with more information. net neutrality is very important, but please stop spreading alarmist misinformation.

The saga continues

[mbti-conversations]

i think “i wish platonic dates with friends were a thing” is another way of saying “i want a deep emotional intimacy.” it’s a new age. shallow friends are easy to find and hard to let go. the two of you can sit for coffee, talking about nothing, secretly texting under the table that you want to leave. she begs you to come to the party but abandons you once you’re through the door. he won’t talk to you outside of class, won’t even look at you even though two weeks ago you kissed. 

it’s the age of the internet and our empathy is evolving. yes, isn’t long-distance now so easy. there’s a lot we have to be thankful for.

but there’s a lot that’s changing. there’s no words for the emotion you feel when someone is taking a picture with you that you know is only happening because they want to look fun and popular and you’re a prop; there’s no word for when you know it’s because you’re uglier than them and it makes them look good - there’s no word for watching people socialize for social media credit. we know it happens. not just “hang on let me take a picture of my food.” not just “i’ve got to text my mom back, one sec.” i mean that strange distance between two people who comment on each other’s posts but cannot connect in person. i mean you pour out your soul on twitter but then clam up in person. i mean internet loneliness; the sensation of 212 thousand followers and still so empty, knowing if the plane goes down, the ocean of the internet will wash out your memory. 

“i want a friend date,” she says, and he snorts - you mean friends?

it’s hard, sometimes. finding a best friend. when i was little i had an assignment about it. i remember crying in the hallway because i didn’t have one. everyone else in class did. i wrote about my shadow. i didn’t fit in. over the years i’ve had a couple. one turned out pure evil. a few were my best friend but i wasn’t theirs, in the end. a lot just drifted from me until we were only friends by nostalgia, not connection. but i ached for the feeling of a best friend the whole time: the person you can be silent with, the person you can be wild with, the person you can be 100% yourself with.

we live in a society where romance is said to be the only space you’re allowed to really be close with someone. how many of us have said to make sure you marry your best friend. we know from dating that there exists a kind of connection we don’t always get in our friends - even a platonic one, a connection of spirit, a freedom of behavior. 

i get it. a platonic date sounds wonderful. it’s not hurting anybody. let’s both have three seconds where we’re honest with each other in a raw kind of way. it’s terrifying. or we could just talk about what’s bothering you. i’m also still fucked up about the avatar: the last airbender ending; i also don’t get katara and aang. 

it’s about trust. about vulnerability. so yeah. maybe i’ve done all kinds of platonic-date things. but i’ve also had the opposite happen: the non-friend. someone you don’t want to cut out, not necessarily - but not someone you can tell your secrets to in the end. i think what we’re all asking for is to be less lonely. we want to get close to people, but we don’t want to seem like we’re hitting on somebody. 

come on out with me. we’ll both dress up and drink wine and split the bill and talk about deep things. be best friends for a moment. lord knows i need one. what i’m asking is for a quick moment of emotional intimacy. of reality. of not-just-here-for-the-party. i think a date sounds lovely.

I got ISTJ for both my blogs

Interesting Stuff

http://www.typealyzer.com/

The above site tries to identify your type based on your blog! Just enter in the URL of your blog and this site will analyse it to see what your type is.

Of course, this could always be affected by reblogs etc.

Either way, I got ISFJ (I’m an INFJ). So that’s kind of close.

Twitter is giving me hives

I’m making a twitter based on the advice of a career counselor from school and I have no idea what to post or how to get followers. I don’t want to be followed by everyone from school and work, etc. but I don’t know how to reach out beyond that. Plz teach me TT

Also, you can follow me @rbs3265

Think of this for Ti as well

About Fi

Okay so this is unneaccary but i don’t want others to mistype like i did

Fi isn’t about KNOWING OR BEING IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FEELINGS, yeah sure would be nice but it’s not like that is the function.

Fi is about a moral system that decides how you act. Doesn’t have anything to do with feelings.

Fi isn’t selfish either it’s self-righteous, its moral system is perfect in its users eyes

Some fi users have a system were they want to help others, were they think that being selfish is unacceptable or maybe even the opposite. Maybe they think they have to be true to themselves and always say what they think

IT DEPENDS ON THE SYSTEM SINCE EVERY FI USER HAS THEIR OWN SUBJECTIVE VIEW AND THEIR OWN MORALS

It has nothing to do with emotions

Anyway, thanks for listening guys.
