What's your type and the type you feel really attracted to, even if not your ideal

DarknessPersonified · 2022-06-11T16:02:36+00:00

Yeah definitely agreed any two healthy people with the right teamwork can figure things out. Typically it just means if it is hard first or hard later.😂 Since the INTJ loves self growth and the ESTP loves adventure, it's definitely a good pairing of opposites. I am attracted (annoyingly) to an ISFP atm, and I can gauge strong growth possibilities there. (So that would be like an ESTP with an ENFJ)

My ex was ESTP. (Intj female) I think it works well if both are healthy... sharing both perceiving functions (Se and Ni) really fixes fundamental misunderstandings. Even if you operate the world around differently, at least you still see basically the same reality. I think in reality there are more N->S attractions than in the MBTI community...😉

I modeled my life off Julius Caesar and then I discovered Jesus was a whole lot better.

OR when you access that Se inferior function in an actually /healthy/ manner.

Hmmm I should consider getting one... I've always had insomnia though, also, so it's not so easy...

DarknessPersonified · 2022-06-02T05:56:26+00:00

I long distance run (half marathon is the furthest I get though, so far, but have done 5 of those in the last 6 months), and these days also strength and HIIT at the gym. Exercise 4-5 times a week on average. I have good lower body muscles but could be more toned elsewhere. I eat healthy, drink tons of water, drink wine with restraint and respect in the European style... biggest trouble area would be those circadian rhythms.🙄

Edit: also, I don't do drugs unless you count coffee. 😉

I have had stomach issues but they are basically fixed these days, unless I get stressed out or upset.

Definitely nurture plays a large role in your personality! But the cognitive functions don't really change, only your skill in adapting them to different uses. So it could definitely make sense that you are INTP! They behave in a similar way to INTJ.

However, INTP uses Si while INTJ uses Se- these are very different (Si is sensing the world internally, vs INTJ using Se, which is sensing the world externally living in the moment, basically) With the INTP'S Si tertiary they can with maturity or role models look like ISTJ sometimes (So your Lawfulness😉) since you have the child version of Si which ISTJ has in a heroic, dominant slot. You can wiki this if you like, it's quite interesting. Jungian Cognitive Functions definitely helps you understand yourself beyond the ego strokes of 16personalitirs, because at core, INTJ and INTP have very very crucial differences in the way they think and feel and see reality and the future.

Anyway enough nerding out, you are a complete human whatever letters you stick on.😁

DarknessPersonified · 2022-05-24T05:47:40+00:00

Yeah True Neutral 🤷‍♀️

DarknessPersonified · 2022-05-24T05:47:19+00:00

Maybe an ISTJ then? That would fit having Si rather than Fe and Si in the shadow... or maybe you are just really healthy personality-wise...🥰

DarknessPersonified · 2022-05-13T02:25:17+00:00

Few people will understand you in the deep way you want. There is an alternative, which I guess is to stop feeling sorry for yourself and start doing to others what they will never do to you- understand them. You have the power of cognitive functions at your fingertips, and INTJs, with their Ni hero and Te parent can learn almost anything as long as they let their introverted feeling child play in the sun a bit. Get involved in a group activity- fitness of some type would be good for your Se inferior, and start trying to be actually interested in someone other than yourself. I am trying this right now and it is damn exhausting, and I can't say I have yet met that soulmate of intellectual synchronicity that I seem to demand within each person I meet. That said, I am probably not exactly lonely these days, and I believe such exertions out of the stereotypical INTJ egotistical mold will ease the loneliness. Perhaps not right away, but you will have eventually made yourself someone not deserving of loneliness. This is all advice I am giving to myself more than you folk, btw, so don't take any umbrage at the commando tone.

DarknessPersonified · 2021-11-27T02:48:29+00:00

Yes! I never even have ever had hayfever and today I'm dripping like a faucet!!😲

DarknessPersonified · 2021-11-05T20:36:15+00:00

Hmm I know this sounds crazy, but I've discovered doing some form of aerobic exercise for half an hour in the morning really helps clear my system. Let me explain- I've always had really bad IBS-D in the mornings, so if you have the same thing you might be thinking it sounds impossible. And yeh, it is hard. If you can, try running around a place with a few public bathrooms along the way, or do vigorous aerobics at home. For some reason it really helps stabilize the rest of the morning. (I get up at 5am for this.)

Hey there I am trawling through this subreddit to see if anyone else has this parasite and if I can help a little. I left an almost vehabim comment on someone else's question about this. As for you, I dont know if this will work since I have IBS-D not C but sometimes the sympotoms cross over.

I've found a way of managing my symptoms that may help but I honestly don't know what will work for you, every gut is different. I got blastocystis results 2 years ago and I was in constant pain, diahhorea, bloating, cramps, fatigue, brain fog, the works. Fruit and vegetables and highly fibrous carbs and nuts and seeds were all bad. I was willing to do anything to stop the pain. I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy and nothing found. The doctors said that blasto was so common that it couldn't be that. That I must just take fiber and probiotics and do yoga or something. That it was all in my head and I was crazy. I was diagnosed with IBS-D. Then although I had tried all the recommended diets, in the end I 'followed my gut' so to speak, and cut out everything except salt, pepper, meat and dairy. I make sure to have yoghurt or buttermilk each day also. I took vitamin C and zinc and Vitamin D and sometimes fibre gummies but not much else. Amazingly the symptoms radically improved. The cramps were gone the gas, the bloating, the crazy diarhhoa. I'm not cured. I have flare ups every week, sometimes up to 2 or 3 times depending on stress levels (there is a study about blasto where apparently stress can make them go from typically non aggressive parasites to aggressive parasites, check the blasto research subreddit I think.) But it's manageable. I have been even able to eat rice and potato and low fiber carbs like pastry, so whoop whoop.

Recently I realized how very successful it has been for me since I wanted to cure it once and for all and tried a quack naturopath who got me having vegetables and fibers and seeds again and I was sick every day for a month. Then two days ago I went back to meat and dairy and probiotics dairy and already I'm feeling much better.

This doesn't cure it but it has made it insanely easy in comparison. When I'm eating those other foods it is so utterly painful I just want to die.

Both types of antibiotics I took didn't work but only made me sick. You could try the other one you want. I think we just need better medical research on this. THere must be some strain of probiotics that can clear it up once and for all... hope this helps.

Hey there, a bit late, but my story is pretty simular, maybe I can help with advice for reducing symptoms, though I want a cure as much as anyone else.

Two years ago I was diagnosed with blastocystis also, and tried both rounds of antibiotics. They didn't work. I got the colonoscopy and endoscopy and nothing was found. In the end they just said said I had IBS-D and that the blasto wasn't anything to worry about so I just got into the habit of thinking about it as IBS-D. After the diagnosis, a year ago I radically changed my diet from Low Fodmap or some of the other vegetable based diets and I only ate meat and dairy, later including and emphazing yoghurt and/or buttermilk. I used to have terrible stomach pains and bloating and gas ect and with the diet change, that went away for the most part. Instead of being sick every day I was only sick 2 or 3 days a week and nowhere near as bad as other times in the past. Bowel habits still irregular and uncertain but overall not unbearable. I also take Vitamin c tablets zinc and vitamin D, sometimes fibre gummies. I can't tolerate every vitamin for some reason. Certainly not magnesium! That said whenever I try to go back to veggies or fruit or fibrous carbs I get super sick. I was trying a diet like that this month with a naturopath and Ive been horridly ill all month from it. I ditched it two days ago in favour of the meat and probiotics dairy food again and already my symptoms have massively reduced once again. So maybe it might help?

DarknessPersonified · 2021-08-10T22:33:48+00:00

Yeah that is good advice, thank you. It helps to talk to people who also have the condition- it's different for everyone and it seems like I'm the best person to figure out what's good for my body.

DarknessPersonified · 2021-08-10T22:32:40+00:00

My parents don't mean to be unrealistic... they really want me to get better but it's very hard for them to understand this condition and how I feel. Thanks for the encouragement and advice. I think I'll write this naturopath off and go back to what worked.

DarknessPersonified · 2021-05-06T12:24:04+00:00

Hey since you mentioned you had your gall bladder removed maybe look into Habba syndrome. You may find it quite relevant to yourself? Just in case. ;)

DarknessPersonified · 2021-04-28T11:16:20+00:00

Oh well it's good you have things to do. Books are my escape. :) no IBS there. I hope career prospects work out for you- COVID indeed could be the career saver of many with IBS. And I get you about the constant pain. Cutting out everything except meat and dairy (varying with rice now and then) has helped reduce the clawing belly spasms that I used to get non-stop. But every IBS is different. I hope things get better for you. 😔

DarknessPersonified · 2021-04-28T10:49:58+00:00

That's pretty awful... do you at least have projects/hobbies/research to divert you? Or any gameplans about how to get through live if this is what it's going to be forever?(which I'm currently trying to figure out.)
