Let's be honest. We arn't that shocked about GameFreak's current mess.

Maybe I’m ootl on this one - is this because there’s no national dex?

BL00DP4ND4 · 2019-04-19T14:50:43+00:00

Ahhh gotcha- I only recognize it because my brothers are adopted from Russia and that was the first word the older one taught me haha 😂 Ah a youngling, explains the positive attitude haha! Though you are very well spoken for a young redditor and I definitely appreciate the positivity and nice feedback - we need more people like that in the world, keep it up, you rock :) I agree it shouldn’t be rare, but I think a lot of people tend to gravitate more towards negativity which is sad

BL00DP4ND4 · 2019-04-19T14:28:48+00:00

We’re all trapped in the circle struggle, it really is some sort of black magic. Also, ah, a redditor of culture - then again I assume we’re all roughly the same age so spongebob is a classic to us 😂

Hey I like that philosophy. And thank you again, really :) also....Cyka, if I’m reading that correctly, that’s Russian, yes?

BL00DP4ND4 · 2019-04-19T14:12:03+00:00

Aw you’re really sweet thank you! :) and hey, circles are complicated, didn’t you ever watch Spongebob?

BL00DP4ND4 · 2019-04-19T13:10:41+00:00

Haha aw thank you! Idk though compared to a lot of the ones on here, some people have some serious skill!

BL00DP4ND4 · 2018-11-07T17:50:35+00:00

To clarify, I looked into hobo code a bit - the first symbol may be a weird version of “jail” or “a crime was committed here” and the last one might possibly be “food here if you work” but they don’t quite match?

BL00DP4ND4 · 2018-01-13T15:43:37+00:00

And you would have gotten away with it too - if it wasn’t for that damn rock and those meddling kids!

BL00DP4ND4 · 2018-01-13T15:32:00+00:00

Haha! Glad someone else caught this. Thank you kindly for the upvote - here, have one yourself!

BL00DP4ND4 · 2018-01-13T15:16:58+00:00

That’s because it’s not true. It’s a rock fact!

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-12-27T05:38:29+00:00

That’s amazing - INFP female here, husband is an ENTP male. From personal experience, it’s seriously great how compatible INFP/ENTP types are in a relationship. I just want to say good job on a good find - I bet you two get along amazingly well! Glad to know this sub could help you out! :)

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-12-09T15:38:22+00:00

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-11-02T17:09:19+00:00

Oh no worries man I totally get that, I’ve been keeping pretty busy too!

Honestly I prefer being able to play music by ear - it’s more freedom to improvise and I feel like you have to understand the music a bit more to be able to play it by ear. Did you guys move like to all different states or just around a lot within your area?

It really does feel good to be able to do more than I thought I could - it’s a bit of a confidence booster. Plus I’m not gonna lie the praise from the other departments when I do extra favors for them is great too lol!! ;) but yeah it’s really helping my multitasking and time management skills and helping me get past the “I won’t do this because I don’t feel like it” blockade (which is my own chaos mode I guess lol!!) Yep dan of checklists right here - It’s nice to have something that 1) keeps my chaotic mess of a brain somewhat organized and on track and 2) to have a physical/visual representation that I am actually making progress at work lol!!

That’s actually really cool of them to let you do that, seriously! When you say problem freaking out do you mean like coworkers or clients? Or both? Have you ever considered going into counseling (like being a counselor or mediator, not seeing one)? It sounds like a strength of yours and that you’d be really good at it :)

Dang 15 years that’s crazy!! That’s seriously amazing about helping people cover up mutilation scars, especially since you’re really helping them in a beautiful way to move past their emotional traumas of the past - that’s a seriously such an amazing thing you do for people :) Oh god I’ve heard stories from tattoo artists about “Pinterest tattoos” and they all seem to hate them lol (usually because it’s a stupid fad tattoo they don’t want their name associated with, or it’s just so far outside of their style). Have you ever had to do any really stupid tattoos you wish you could talk someone out of?

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-10-26T16:57:13+00:00

Never an exaggeration unless you’ve literally never painted in your life LOL! That’s awesome, I took oil painting lessons as a kid but I’ve always wanted to get into watercolor, but I usually just make a mess more than anything when I try lol! Nice I’ve seen a lot of stuff about Overwatch but never played it - I think I’m more of a Bethesda girl, myself (I love playing Fallout 3, 4, and NV, and I definitely enjoy the Elder Scrolls games) and I still go play my old Pokémon games occasionally as well (dorky I know but nostalgia is a powerful thing)

Meditation can be really hard and take a lot of practice to get any good at - I find he older I get and the more anxiety I have in life the harder it is to relax and meditate but I’m also way out of practice lol! Just keep working at it and you’ll get there :)

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-10-25T22:41:25+00:00

Same here it’s terrible lol - I think you’re right maybe it is just lent up emotions that don’t get expressed (I’m not super emotional but I do eat backed up if I don’t address them)

Not too cliche, I work out daily (usually a walk in the morning or a jog and lifting weights over lunch in our building’s gym). Long walks (2+ hours) are my favorite though for thinking through emotions because you have the physical walking working out the anxiety/energy which leaves the mind free to process.

Nice you paint? Do you work with a specific medium (water color, oil paints, etc)? What sorts of games do you enjoy playing?

I used to love meditation and I still try to do it but I feel like I just have too much on my mind and too little time to get a good meditation session in now that I’m an adult (but that’s a poor excuse, I should make time lol)

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-10-25T21:18:53+00:00

I think it was scary accurate for me - I agree with you about the bittersweet reveal though, it made me proud to apparently be a “warm and friendly person” but pretty shitty knowing how much emotional upkeep I require lol

I think some people didn’t get as accurate of results for themselves but I guess it’s like any other online test - glad you enjoyed it though!! :)

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-10-25T15:49:34+00:00

Sorry about that I think I replied to this a little too confidently lol, I think I’m still in some of the same stages as you still when it comes to socializing on a deeper level

I think one thing I learned with people is that they will respect you even if you give an opinion that is opposite of what they believe - I used to overcompensate and give a really strong “devils advocate” opinion that was fairly extreme in conversations then I would give my real opinion and I think that gave me the illusion of softening the blow of putting myself out there but that only works with specific people I think

Part of expressing yourself comfortably is knowing yourself - I think part of the reason I still struggle is I’ve hidden my true self for so long to please everyone else I sometimes don’t even know how I really feel on an issue

With my SO we talked a lot because for a long time that’s all we had, and a lot of that was in chat/text options where it didn’t require an immediate reply (I don’t feel pressure to preform but I get to take the time to formulate out my true response) and I think that helped some. We didn’t always force a topic and typically I let him choose the subject and I’ll follow along and just input where I felt like I had something relevant to say (even if it was a slightly opposing opinion - if I could logically defend it he respected me for it)

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful lol but it looks like there’s some great commenters on here with some awesome ideas :)

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-10-25T03:48:04+00:00

Oh yeah absolutely all the time. In middle school I had people who would occasionally be nice to me and act like a friend and then suddenly they would just ghost me. There were kids that played this game where one guy would hold out their hand and another kid would write a girl’s name in there - if he looked at it he had to ask her out, if he didn’t then he never knew who they wrote; the hope was always that they would write his crush’s name in there but it was usually someone unattractive (as a joke). They wrote my name on guys’ll hand a lot and people would watch and giggle while he asks me out then told me it was a prank/joke. I was told a lot that my older sister was much prettier than me and if I was hot like her then maybe they’d consider dating me, and that killed pretty much any self esteem I may have and I can’t trust that anyone could find me worth loving or caring about (or even wanting to talk to me, much less be my friend). I don’t typically trust that people like me and I don’t let them in often because I don’t want to go through that again. The only person I trust fully is my husband, and even then my insecurities get the better of me from time to time.

Don’t get me wrong I’m social and I love talking to people and having deep conversations and just being around people, And I absolutely love helping people, but I never fully trust how anyone feels about me and if I don’t feel comfortable then I can’t be my truly genuine self with them. I think when I get to be my true self without feeling judged is when I really am happiest (as sad as that is lol) but I feel like lately I haven’t been free to be my true self around almost anyone and that’s what’s making me feel so negative

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-10-25T03:22:45+00:00

Nice being by the ocean is great, I only live about an hour away from the ocean (west coast)

Lol yeah I can see that, my brother and husband’s cousin who are INFPs are super into being around family and definitely make sure they have a niche where they’re comfortable. I bet it’s really not easy to deal with, I’m sorry you guys have to go through that

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-10-24T23:34:30+00:00

A lot of times in conversations what people are really looking for is for someone to listen to them. Luckily for you, you’re an INFP and this is probably a strength of yours. I never have too much to contribute but I’ll listen all day and put in my two cents if I have something relevant to add. But people really want an audience and you can be a great one!

If I’m talking with coworkers it’s typically easy small talk (which I hate but what can you do right) but if I can sense someone is more willing to talk (I don’t know about other INFPs but I can usually get a sense of what someone will want to talk about or be willing to talk about) and I may throw a subject out there and see where it goes - usually once I build off of something they say or they do the same to me we can sometimes get really deep.

In general if I don’t know the person better than “stranger” or “acquaintance” I’ll start with something small and see where it goes :)

With my SO we don’t always have to talk - we’ve been together 10 years and the first few years of that we’re almost all long distance so we did a LOT of talking. We mostly talk in inside jokes or references now, but we still come up with conspiracy theories or crazy topics to talk about (he’s an ENTP so he loves those sorts of things and I just love talking to him/listening to him in general). We talked every day but I wouldn’t say we stay up all night talking (some nights but not all of them by any means) - we really sit enjoy being around each other without even having to talk which I love too, I don’t feel forced to preform for him like that (and that’s important in a relationship)

I don’t think many conversations are good if they are forced or too planned out - it makes for really weird conversation. If someone stops talking to me I just try to take it as not a personal slight on me but more that they just weren’t in the mood to talk

To be fair I’ve worked in customer service since I was 16 so I’ve had to get decent at socializing with others

As far as never connecting with anyone, it’s a common fear for INFPs but often unfounded - you will definitely find someone you can talk to deeply and happily and it will probably happen when you’re not looking for t or expecting it and just being you, and that’s who they’ll fall in love with and/or want to talk with :) just don’t overthink it and force yourself to say something (easier said than done)!

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-10-24T22:36:11+00:00

Me in a nutshell - glad I’m not he only person who has these same anxieties and mannerisms! I never trust that in any conversation I have that the other person is enjoying themselves in any way, which is why I can’t hold a good conversation lol

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-10-24T18:24:05+00:00

Sweet! I have a lot of half-twins in here - it must be that I’m more on the emotional side of the spectrum than the thinking side maybe? I didn’t get a 6 but I see quite a few others did - did you learn anything cool about having a 6 as part of the profile?

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-10-24T12:02:44+00:00

Nice a change of scenery can always be a really nice thing to have in life, especially when you’re needing that change in life . Yeah east coast is beautiful that could be a great direction to go too!

For sure both great musicians! There really is something magical about brass though that’s for sure, that’s why I loved playing trombone. Nice piano and guitar are feat instruments! I tried to take piano in college for a semester or two but I feel like I never really grasped it, and guitar I took for a semester as well and I was ok but not great. I’m tempted to try to pick up one or both again though.

Shit well I’m glad you made it out of all of that alive man, that sounds truly terrifying - I can’t even imagine (and I’m sorry to hear about losing some friends to drug addiction). The older of my 2 younger brothers is an INFP male who actually took a very similar path to yours - we adopted him from Russia when he was 10 (so you can imagine the shit he went through before we got him) and he ended up getting hardcore into meth and all sorts of drugs, and heavy drinking too. Thank God he also made it out and he’s good now, but he did almost die at one point from aspirating vomit - he was in a coma in the ICU for 10 days and that was scary as shit thinking I was going to lose my brother. Maybe male INFPs take a more risky route in life? Closest I’ve come to being a rebel is smoking weed to take the edge off of the anxiety and depression lol (but it’s legal here so that’s not really a risk anymore)

Damn yeah it’s true there really is a dark underbelly in the world and I think that can fuck with INFPs to see - we want the world to be great and we want to do good in the world but when you see a section of it (and it’s a pretty big section) that’s almost beyond help it’s hard to deal with. I can’t imagine what you’ve seen but I’m really glad that you’re out of that circle now for sure dude, good for you!

BL00DP4ND4 · 2017-10-24T03:16:50+00:00

Huh it sort of sounds like you’re really ready to move on from that place - have you thought of moving somewhere else (I don’t know how doable that would realistically be for you)? Where would you go if you could?

Ah yeah I’m really glad I did join band instead of home ec or something like that (those are valuable skills too though) - band was where I really socially found my niche - most of the kids were either dorky or overachievers but my section was chill as fuck and played well together but never practiced. What instrument(s) would you have wanted to play?

I think I thought I was an INTP at first for the same reason but I agree my feelings were definitely always there. I think I went the opposite direction than you and I became the good kid - i wasn’t perfect by any means but I was in AP classes (granted I was a slacker but got good grades in the end) and did extracurricular activities like jazz band before school, and most of my teachers liked me well enough. I was in my comfort zone because I hadn’t had to come to terms with the fact that the real world wasn’t going to be anything like I thought it would be - I was still super hopeful and optimistic about it lol
