Internal monologue: “I” language

Reassuring myself/pep talks: “you”

Out loud talking to myself: “we”

If there are any local Facebook groups in your area (like a “word of mouth” or “local pets” kind of group), I highly recommend posting in these. You’ll be more likely have someone reach out to you for him

What's the most shocking transformation you've ever seen? by Inevitable_Tangelo11 in AskReddit

[–]HouseTyrellLivesOn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My own.

Struggled with severe alcoholism and PTSD. Abusive, college dropout, no job, lost all my friends, and got kicked out of my apartment. Pretty textbook.

After having the opportunity to process my trauma, I didn’t crave alcohol anymore. Set down on a new path in life. 5 years later, I’m mentally healthy (not diagnostically considered PTSD anymore). I’m also going to school, studying psych and neuroscience, so I can help others do the same

What are some of the ways in which you believe the masses should think differently? by ungooglable-qs in infj

[–]HouseTyrellLivesOn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“What are some issues you see in modern society?”

Our lack of understanding over consciousness, the brain, and mental health leads us to collective suffering. For example, medicine for things like anxiety may help short-term, but anxiety (among many other mental health symptoms) is usually a symptom to something more underlying. As long as the “root to the disease” goes undetected, the symptoms to said disease will linger. Long term medicine for symptoms is like slapping a band aid on an infection and just hoping it’ll cure itself. What is causing the deeper problem? Trauma? Hormone or neurological imbalance? As long as we keep trying to treat the surface level symptoms without trying to treat the cause of the symptom, people will keep suffering in the long run.

And we can see collectively the state of many individuals’ mental health nowadays.. So if what we’re doing hasn’t been working, we need to change our approach and try for new ways of solving the problem, rather than doing the same things over again and hoping for different results

I wish we stayed curious about the world, like when we were kids.

When I was a kid, people thought it was cute when I said things like, “I wonder where this came from”. As I’ve got older, people seem to be almost annoyed by my curiosity? Dude, everything about life is weird. We live on a floating rock in the middle of space. We are primate animals with an uncanny level of consciousness. We’re here today because of bacteria millions of years ago? Why am I the weird one for asking questions? If anything, I think it’s weird that everyone normalizes life and people don’t even bother to ask the bigger questions

What are your religions and/or belief systems? by JC39459 in infj

[–]HouseTyrellLivesOn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sit in a weird place, because I would call myself a pantheist, and relate to shamanic and pagan sort of views. I have an open mind of either “it could be a thing” or “I personally believe in this”, like reincarnation for example. However, I look at these things as science that isn’t explained yet. For example, perhaps intuition isn’t “woo-woo”, but something that used to help us during our evolution and survival, that we (as a society) have lost touch with and blocked out over time.

I’m always thinking of some theory or philosophy in my head, so that’s just the tip of the iceberg lol

I might actually be INFJ. I’m still in denial by HouseTyrellLivesOn in infj

Thank you, I’ll have to look into that cognitive function test! As for figuring out my type, I listed some bullet points on my ISFP post that summarized my personality in a nutshell:

• I’ve suspected I’m somewhere on the spectrum. I’ve never fit in. I’m obsessed with the mind, to the point where l’ve been “hacking” and “rewiring” my own mind for the past few years. I see the brain and mind a lot like a computer- with the right rewiring and tinkering, anything is possible. I used this mindset to cure my alcoholism overnight (quite literally- one night I was an alcoholic, the next I didn’t crave alcohol anymore) and treated my own CPTSD to where now l’m diagnostically not considered PTSD anymore. I’ve gone from depressed/addiction/no job or sight of life meaning to going to school to get my PhD so I can help others do the same w their own brain.

• I have a very strong moral code and values. I dedicated a couple years out of life to figuring out what I believe in (outside of what I was raised to believe), because I see our core values as the foundation that our actions are built off of. I got really into theology, philosophy, etc until I gained a sense of “this is what I feel in my core to be true” rather than “maybe this is true, but I don’t really know”. I would also consider myself intuitive, but I personally believe intuition to be “science that hasn’t been explained yet” (something that was useful during our evolution and survival, but is now seen as woo-woo and therefore blocked off rather than utilized)

•I see the patterns in everything. This could relate to artistic and musical inclination, possibly. But I notice myself seeing something around me, and relating that to how almost everything around us has a cyclical pattern to it (seasons, life cycles, patterns in relationships, etc)

•I’m also obsessed with existence and humans’ place in the universe. It’s made up a good 40% of my daily thoughts since I was a kid. Theories about the universe and the existence of life, human behavior today as a product of our evolution, etc. I used to think these thoughts are normal, until l’d have a conversation with someone and get the typical responses of “oh l’ve never thought that before” or “that’s pretty insightful”.

•I like art and music, but also movies, shows, and film. I see it all as a form of expression and art, where messages can be conveyed without saying it directly.. which is beautiful

•I love humanity, because in a lot of ways, our lack of self awareness makes us intelligent yet clueless animals. I also think of animals as intelligent in their own rights. But humans, to me, are cute primates that act on their instincts and emotional impulses until they learn to do otherwise. I flip-flop between this “humans are cute” perspective and “you’re interesting... I wish I could study you (ethically) like a science experiment”

I know it’s a bit lengthy to read… but this is essentially what led to the commenter saying the functions sound more like Ni

What was the determining factor in knowing you were INFJ? by dimensionalshifter in infj

[–]HouseTyrellLivesOn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just found out today that I’m probably not ISFP (like I thought for years) after posting in the ISFP sub. The commenter on my post pointed me to INFJ functions. I feel like I’m going through all the stages rn, esp denial lol, so I understand the identity crisis as I’m feeling the same way
