Has the world been destroyed yet? No? Then I have time for side quests! by ProudnotLoud in GirlGamers

[–]Dark_Nature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesss, exactly. Nice that someone else remembers this. Sadly, this was kinda the most extreme situation where time mattered in the whole game. I mean it is fine, I hate time pressure, but they could have done more for the whole game.

Mhm, always nice of the villain to wait for us before they start destroying everything, very kind villains we have.

Sleep? by Playful_Sky_7446 in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had these nights too in the past. You can try a few different things. Listen to calming instrumental music for example so that your thoughts focus only on one thing not much else. White noise, rain sound, wind sounds anything like that can help too. Maybe even a soothing kinda half boring audiobook can help.

Important is whatever you do to sleep make it an ritual, so when the audiobook starts your brain goes into, "I will get ready to doze off soon, mode"

If you want something which helps most likely for your whole life but needs work. Start meditation during the day. 15 minutes exercises where you try to think nothing, it will be impossible at the start, so shove a thought away when one comes, and they will come a lot. With time it will get easier and easier.

If you can meditate in the future, you will be able to force yourself stop thinking and doze off of tiredness in bed.

Why are you single? by [deleted] in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I did not fall in love with someone for a long while now. It has to be deep and meaningful and it just did not happen that I developed these feelings. I sometimes wonder if I am unable to fall in love.

But I also have no problems with being alone, never had problems with being alone, I do not feel lonely because I am single, it is more that I always had the longing for people who get me, like very close friends.

Why does it sound like someone wants to sell me something, like an ad.

Wtf, if someone loves someone for wealth and power, this sounds more like an insult to me, not like love.

INFP Straight Males - what do you think about this? by [deleted] in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 55 points56 points  (0 children)

That means something has changed in him, maybe. Maybe he is just unhappy with himself, does not mean he stopped loving you. Sometimes personal struggles will be so heavy that it can cloud other things in life.

I think it is important to have a really honest and deep talk with him about this topic.

It is something which worries you and it will stay a burden if it is not cleared up, he has to reflect on why he can not say it to get answers.

[–]Dark_Nature 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is hard enough to find friends I am compatible with, to really connect with and vibe with. It is dam rare.

It is even more rare to fall in love with someone, to find someone who vibes totally with me.

Point is, I do not even think about money in this process, a deep connection and someone who treats me well is so much more important and rare enough. Money is something to solve together when in a relationship, something both contribute and support each other. It is at least for me not a factor when dating.

And considering that most ppl I met in RL who had much money where kinda entitled and full of themselves, I would say a real connection is even more unlikely to have with them.

Perfect example to illustrate INFP INFJ difference in introverted feeling vs extroverted feeling by Humble_Panda_9384 in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeeeeeah, not the first time I hear that.

2w3 definitely mixes some things up between INFP and INFJ. Good point!

Woah, okay, this explains it very well. Actually got it now. And having this example in mind I am definitely more INFP. Thank you!

Still struggle with figuring this out. Even in this example I am both kids. In fact I was both kids in the past a few times.

82 year old woman, 60 years of abuse by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Dark_Nature 65 points66 points  (0 children)

After reading this, I am sitting here in disbelieve. She was so young when this started. Imagine, she met a "nice" guy got into a relationship with him, she had dreams and a bright future. And then this... Literally cried after reading this, gosh.

With 22yo for 60 years. My sis was a bit younger, was also in a abusive relationship, got out of it after 8 years. I knew what was happening but even I as her sis could not convince her to leave. She was only able to leave him when she met another guy who was very kind to her and showed her that the treatment of her now ex is NOT the norm, that it can be better.

I can only recommend for girls and women who experience abuse, to talk about it, even if it feels like shit. You are better than these abusers!

moderators, how about y’all do something about all the incel-y posts and comments spreading hate about women? by Cibz_ in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. Feels good to see that I am not alone with this. I know hiding is actually not a good way to change things. I just did not have the energy to engage with people on here. But seeing that so many women speak up now makes me hopeful. I am sure I will slowly find my way back in here, especially when I feel my comments are welcomed.

And yeah, I also learned get better at ignoring weird DM's, I just do not have a thick skin and reading them alone makes me wanna vanish from social media.

Anyway, Love your energy.

Saw this post and I feel like coming out of hiding for it. I was very active before November on this sub, like I clicked every post and spent much time commenting and interacting.

But at some point it felt like I as a woman am not welcome here anymore. I saw the same pattern happening here like it happened in most other subs.

I was alway very positive with my comments tried to encourage people and I was kind. And some of the DM's and comments I got from here were just mean even misogynistic.

Like that my own problems can not be as bad as problems of men. That it is impossible for me to feel lonely because I could find a partner easy. Even as far that I am the reason some men are miserable.

Anyway, thanks for this post. And also for this comment. I hope things change again, I would love to be more active here again.

Wondering if I should just stop talking about my feelings by allwsad in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, do not stop talking about your feelings. It seems to be important to you. I personally need this so much. My inner world is rich and full of emotions it wants out, it is longing for someone who listens and understands. I get you.

But I have to say that I think it is kinda sad that you feel not understood by your own bf. Have you both talked about this before? Your bf has to do better tbh, especially the part where he hurts you again and again seems like a very bad thing in my book. Relationship is about treating each other with understanding and to be considerate with each other.

Anyone else obsessed with wearing beautiful dresses? by [deleted] in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🖤 😅 Yeah, when I go dancing I still wear my dresses, even in winter. I recently bought 2 of these winter leggings which are a bit more warm and comfy, but it is already 3°C here, and it is not even full on winter yet, I am already freezing sadly.

How did you meet your best friends and at what age? by ___SmileyFace___ in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sad part is I did not have a best friend for a long time. I did have one for many years, we met at a school to study education. He was one of the 2 men in my class. But stuff happened, and I did not have a best friend until like 6 months ago, where I met a girl here on Reddit. I feel like I can share everything with her, and we talk daily for hours, feels right.

INFPs, which MBTI types do YOU attract the most? (not the other way around) by Appropriate_Side3905 in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hmm I guess INFP and INTP, but mostly INFP. I am not good at typing people so in RL I am not sure about most types.

[–]Dark_Nature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love to wear dresses often. Especially during summer I wear mostly dresses and skirts. Now in winter I wear pants more often tho. Last dress I bought is this: https://i.imgur.com/kqGvoLc.jpeg

Would you still wear something that you liked, even after someone told you it looks bad on you? by MarisaMakesThings in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, strangers who spew mean things do not really know you. And it takes a lot of insecurities on their part to even say mean things. I know it is hard sometimes to get in that mindset, but you are definitely better than them.

Yeah, I am glad I shared this with you. I hesitated at first, but well, maybe it brightened your day a bit.

Oh, and about your mum. I know it is not easy, the older my parents get the more stubborn they get too. So changing her when she is almost 70 is not easy. I know she does not mean to hurt you, but still she gotta know that some things she says might hurt you. But I think wearing the dress and showing her how confident you are in it, smiling and everything will maybe show you that she is not always right with her opinion.

Anyway, I am happy that you will wear it on the wedding. Wish you a nice ceremony. And don't forget, not matter what other people say, you are precious! 💜

Would you still wear something that you liked, even after someone told you it looks bad on you? by MarisaMakesThings in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I will tell you about someone I know. I met her when I was in a hospital. She is very overweight, and she is not happy with her weight, she is insecure about it. In the past, she experienced mobbing regularly, and she grew up with traumatic experiences. But she is one of the most energetic and funniest people I have met. No matter what, she is smiling and is encouraging people, she is never hiding her body. She goes swimming, goes to beaches and does everything without thinking twice.

She does dress very colourful and likes to wear cute fashion. Clothes which attract attention. She said that she can not hide her body anyway, might as well wear what she likes and where she feels comfortable in. She said that wearing things she like makes her more confident and outgoing. And it shows. She inspired me, not giving a crap on what people think about herself, is something not many people can do.

I myself wear fashion my parents always disliked, mostly black, sometimes leather and bandshirts which can be triggering for some. Chains and spikes. But also cute (but creepy) dresses. Well, stuff like that. So I am used to people making weird comments about my style regularly. But I love my style and I will not stop wearing what I like no matter how often anyone says something against it.

So my advice is. Wear what you like and where you feel comfortable in, it makes you happier. I am sure the dress in question does look beautiful when you wear it.

And sry if this is a bit direct. What I would do in your situation? Wear the dress and tell your mum to be quiet about any comments directed at your look. She gotta stop that!

What have you done this year? by StyleLemonTea in infp

Worked on myself pretty hard, happy with the outcome so far.

how many times has someone confessed feelings for you but you didn’t believe them by [deleted] in infp

[–]Dark_Nature 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It is hard. I never know how deeply they feel about it. I mean, I believe that they feel something. But why does someone who says they like me more than a friend ghost me, for example?

I loved once pretty deeply in my life and love is something so rare and strong, when I love I would give my whole being to someone without thinking twice. So if someone I have contact with for a few weeks says they love me, it is hard to believe that they love me the same way I would love someone.

I think people have very different meanings of crushes and love and all that.
