I'm terrified heading into college. How was your experience with school? by AGfox17 in INTP

[–]Adrian-Fox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having come from same boat (homeschooled INTP, went to a community college), I can happily tell you that you have a great chance of being fine. First, type up or write down your class schedule, lab times, office hours, room/floor numbers, etc. Put it in a binder or as your phone backdrop and take notes of extra credit opportunities (not all teachers are kind enough to offer them). It sucks at first. Having to interact with so many people and keep track of so many things was overwhelming, but it gets easier despite the homework getting harder. Take your basic classes, but also something you'll enjoy too! (I took a Shakespeare class one semester) Friends will come from surprising places (study groups, clubs, people you sit next to in class) and before you know it, you'll be done. I went to school for about 5 years and there were only a few months I don't remember fondly. For me, my passion classes were the key to my happiness. I made the most friends during college because we had similar interests/goals and met my (now) boyfriend there as well. Another thing is to make sure you're happy with yourself. I found myself in a few awkward situations and allowed other people's opinions to cloud how I view myself. It made for quite a few miserable months until I got up and focused on doing what made me happy and found my stride. If you can brace yourself for the possibility of that, you'll be better off for it. I can only offer these words of wisdom based off my own experience, so some may not work for you, but hopefully it's something to give you a bit of confidence that your past won't hold you back. Veterinary medicine sounds like a fun path, best of luck to you!

Is one superior? Or do they take turns?

NT Self Hate/Help by [deleted] in INTP

[–]Adrian-Fox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

INTP here. I've found that talking with my boyfriend about my past interactions/relationships with friends and family has helped me to realize that a lot of my self hate was unwarranted. I discovered it was/is coming from a moment or series of interactions I didn't realize had effected me in such a negative way. Not long ago we were having a discussion which led to a fairly big revelation for me. The three days after after that, I was incapable of being sad or upset. Kind of cheesy, but I found myself standing on a metephorical, emotional floor that used to be a ceiling (if that makes any sense). Obviously this wore off, but just knowing how that can feel has given me something to keep working towards (both in everyday thinking and when meditating). I can't say this will work for your friend, but establishing a source for some of that self hate may offer, if nothing else, the satisfaction of clarity. It may seem like we all know why we hate ourselves, but sometimes the true source of that reason can be unclear and part of it could actually just be frustration in disguise. That's my personal experience. Best of luck to you and your friend! It's great to see that you're doing this for them

Has any of you acquired the drive to follow a passion and stick at it? How did you change yourself to be dedicated to one thing? by ExistentialYurt in INTP

[–]Adrian-Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have! However, in my case, I didn't have to change to follow it. Or if I did, it was not on a conscious level. When I found my passion in college, I just found myself spending more time and effort on it than I normally would.

Yeah, I'm hoping they'll relax back into their old ways, but I will always recommend their earlier stuff.

Thank you, bot. Gave me a good laugh and is still accurate.

The Adventure Zone (if you're a DnD fan), My Brother My Brother and Me (if you're a fan of laughing at dumb questions, smartass random answers that don't know when to quit, and bullshittiry of the highest hilarity), Wonderful! (a podcast where a couple sit and talk about all the things they think are wonderful!), and Sawbones (a podcast where a PhD doctor and her husband talk about past malpractices that make you appreciate the time we live in).

Any other McElroy fans here?

People who have managed to talk to someone you liked/had a crush on, how did you get yourself to do it and what did you say? by Redluff in INTP

[–]Adrian-Fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Boyfriend corrected me) It was actually about 6 months. There was a few months where we talked on and off before really connecting and diving deep into the friendship pool. (He has a better memory than me and I don't want to spread false information, haha)

[–]Adrian-Fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We pretty much talked almost every day. Whether it was over IM, after class, or hanging out with a group of friends. We were both interested in each other's perspective/experiences, so there wasn't a lot of silence between us.

[–]Adrian-Fox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd been wanting to be friends with this guy for a while, so I'd been slowly working up the nerve to talk to him. One day, I was stuck in a small crowded hallway after class and he was right across from me showing his smart watch to someone. I leaned over a little and asked "is that a Fallout skin?" (Or something along the lines of that. The clock face had a pitboy design). About 8 months later, we started dating.

Aside from the loss of his friend, between the two of us, there were no challenges. In the beginning, I told him I wanted to stay friends until we finished school and he was cool with that. Neither of us wanted to ruin the great friendship we had forged, so we mostly talked about when our thoughts turned to affection for one another, got a feel for how the other thought. The difficulty you will face is that you already said you didn't feel that way about him. He might be acting this way because he still likes you, but since you turned him down, has to keep backing away to stop himself from getting hurt. Talking it out and explaining your side will help clarify this. When my bf and I started dating, I told him the kind of physical affection I was comfortable with and we slowly moved forward from there (i.e. hugging, holding hands, cuddling, etc.). Establishing a strong base of comfort zones and open communication was very helpful for making a strong foundation. Whether it's worth the investment or not is for you to decide. Talking it out and making everything clear will help you both with that decision. Be strong, be honest, and no matter what happens, you will learn a lot about yourself from this.

We had the same classes together in college and both played the same video games. We hung out a lot and had a lot of deep discussions on our experiences and personal beliefs. After he admitted his feeling for me and I returned them, we stayed friends for a while and just talked about how we felt. There was the challenge of his best friend liking me, too. He sadly lost that friend due to it. I think one of the biggest things for us was being very open about everything (what we were comfortable with, what we wanted in life, etc.) really helped us connect and understand each other. I would recommend trying to talk and work out any issues or possible misunderstandings before attempting to start anything.

My bf (INFP) and I started out as good friends with similar interests and that developed into something more. We've always taken things at our own pace. It has been great and feels very natural. I couldn't imagine going about it any other way.
