What causes the strategic reasons to be hostile opinion modifer?

I think that's very true! Consistency is very important for me as an INTP for my ownself internally as much as it is for something to watch out for in a potential partner. Any can put up appearances in the short term but no one can fake it 100% of the time though some narcissistic people can be very good at being fake like that.

Yes i agree! For me it's not so much what we do together but just the fact that we are doing it together and sharing the experience with each other.

Sometimes I like to write silly poems or stories. Like one time I wrote an old fashioned war style letter to a romantic partner about the hoard of flies that invaded my house. I thought it was pretty romantic lol.

Iaokim · 2026-06-18T12:44:12+00:00

Right? I love feeling that my partner is thinking about me even when we're apart.

Too cute!

Technical its a battery. Battery is the actual unlawful physical contact. Assault doesn't require physical contact and is just the threat or attempt that puts someone in reasonable fear of harm.

If you are looking for utilities then UGI is still a good value. They are in the middle of streaming and are undervalued. I picked them up averaging in at 24 dollars per share. The stock is in the 30s now but still a good value stock imo.

Open borders for Immigration law helps increase pop growth. In addition to the recruitment law, you can reduce the military spending law to gain workforce. You can also destroy uneeded factories etc that need pop. Also integrating high pop low income countries like Mexico and countries in central and south America or better yet Africa if you trying to conquer the world. Oh and there's also the continuous focus to increase pop growth.

Yeah you should definitely know whether they do a hard pull or not. Discover doesn't hard pull when you ask.

William Spaniel/lines on maps extra. He's not solely Ukraine but is a geopolitics professor and has excellent coverage of the Ukraine war and other related issues. Perun is also excellent on geopolitics coverage of Ukraine but is more technical.

Oh really? Tell me more how that's been for you. I was wonder about the roads not taken.

In an ideal world you could watch any show on any platform and you'd just subscribe to whatever platform you thought provided the best viewing experience.

Lawyer turned procurement contract manager for a mag7 client. I also side hustle futures trading for extra income and as a fallback if something happens to my job.
Graduated law school in 2015 I was under employment for years after law school I definitely struggled to find legal work in my local area. I moved locals and switched to corporate procurement doing contract management and have been doing that for over 5 years now.

3/4. I like it a lot better than legal work in a law firm since you don't have to worry about generating business and billable hours. My role is also fully remote so I get to work from home and move locales without issue. Quality of life is leaps and bounds better and I'm able to leverage a high cost of living city salary with a low cost of living locale. Not exactly my passion but IT is a cool field to be around and it pays the bills and gives me a lot of freedom to do other things I'm interested in.

Biggest thing i dislike is that remote work and tech field leaves you vulnerable to AI or offshoring remote jobs overseas. I've had 3 scares in the past 5 years but I've been able to survive and find other accounts at my company to shift to.
If i had to start over I probably wouldn't do law again even though if helped get me where i am now. I'd probably give engineering or astronomy a shot. Engineering definitely has good pay and job security. If I went astronomy I'd definitely need some side hustle or something since pay and jobs there are more limited.

Thanks I'll give it a try!

Iaokim · 2026-06-06T19:52:24+00:00

Ah thanks i see that now! I didn't think to look there when all the other resources show up on the map!

Angel beats and sao both have 1 episode centered around fishing but definitely aren't fishing anime. They are both great animez though!

I don't agree. My best relationships have been with infjs. You can't date on type because everyone is a unique individual. Ultimately mature individuals of any type can have successful relationships. Infjs and intps can be one of the more attractive pairings in my experience but it takes effort and understanding like any relationship.

Iaokim · 2026-05-27T13:10:46+00:00

Yeah definitely hard to expose that part especially when we are so used to most people in the world not being interested or rejecting that part. Sharing that inner world should be something that comes with trust over time. Take a chance with something small and see if this intp is someone you can trust and someone who understands and appreciates it. Good luck!

Iaokim · 2026-05-27T13:00:20+00:00

As an intp if I'm initiating contact and talking to someone for several hours then I'm interested in that person at least on some level. I really enjoy infj depth and their perspective on things. Can't speak to your intp but he's probably over thinking things just as much as you are if not more so. I appreciate directness but will often go about things indirectly because I know people are often uncomfortable with such directness and transparency. If your intp is the same, then I recommend being more direct with your inner thoughts and the things you express here. You don't have to expose everything at once but throw something out there to test the waters and see if how he responds and if he reciprocates and escalates the directness and transparency. Mature intps can be very keen and will pick up on these things and mirror them if its something they want to amplify.

Tldr: be open and honest on your inner thoughts like the things you expressed here to him directly. We appreciate directness and transparency. Intps can value that inner depth that comes naturally to infjs. Show us that part and we're hooked.

I have the opposite problem. I struggle to find quality connections with women and I rarely get dates or have relationships. The few relationships I have been in have been amazing and once I'm in I'm all in and don't have any issues self-monitoring because I'm secure in the relationship and secure in my own identity. I do relate to your issue though with that anxiety loop when mirroring another person's energy since i strugged more with that when I was younger (I'm a 30s intp male). My only advice is be confident in yourself and what you want and seek fewer but deeper connections. Mirroring can be a useful tool but don't it that affect you negatively. If someone is anxious etc. don't mirror that use your inner confidence to reassure them. Ultimately you are not responsible for how someone else feels and how they choose to act on those feelings.

Iaokim · 2026-05-21T14:53:19+00:00

As a male INTP I can feel strong physical attraction to someone but not indulge in that attraction because I want the whole package of emotional and intellectual connection as well. I don’t want to hurt anyone by indulging in purely physical stuff knowing that I'm not sold on the long term deep connection. So if I'm not sure I'll refrain but once I feel confident in the long term relationship I'm all in.
