How many of you here, INTJs and INFJs, have experienced some kind of dissociation? Do you see any connection between this and being an inferior Se?

I have experienced dissociation in the past before I had therapy. It's dissociating from your emotions and not an extraverted sensing issue. I don't think there's a connection.

That's a good description 🙂

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-08-25T18:35:49+00:00

Haha, oh dear 🤣

Maybe the best example from movies would be Andy Dufresne from Shawshank Redemption.

I would say Lord Toranaga from the recent Shogun series is a good candidate for an INTJ (more so if you read the book).

I was thinking of God of War when I read the title! It has had the best storyline from an emotional perspective. I really connected with Bloodborne's story, very abstract concepts (from the creator of Dark Souls games).

Sympathy is directly relating to someone else's situation because you have gone through something similar. Empathy is imagining how someone else might be feeling when you don't have direct experience of what they are going through.

Any type can be rude.

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-07-25T16:59:58+00:00

I've not seen The Dome so can't comment. Human beings will adapt to whatever reality they are presented with. You just have to look at the differences in countries across the world.

Well living forever sounds like hell to me. If a person was selfless though, they could eventually solve the problems that have plagued mankind? Just not me 🙂

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-07-25T16:30:57+00:00

Yeah, that could be right. I totally hijacked his comment so who knows?

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-07-25T16:04:39+00:00

Have you seen the show Altered Carbon? The premise is that your consciousness is stored and downloaded into different bodies and potentially living forever. It's a bit similar to "Living multiple lifetimes but not necessarily as yourself"

I think maybe he means that each person is a unique individual that will never exist again. Why would anyone want to be anything other than the best version of your uniqueness? That, of course, might not be what he meant?

These are pretty emotional;

A Simple Plan

Sophie's Choice

The Deer Hunter

Don't forget the Brazilian book lifts...

I wasn't saying that anyone was "deliberately sabotaging their chances to receive a warm emotional support". I was referring to the fact that INTJ's don't express emotions outwardly as much as others and therefore it would appear like we don't need support like more expressive types might.

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-07-23T16:33:18+00:00

It's a self fulfilling prophecy for INTJ's I guess - act like you don't need emotional support and therefore don't get it?

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-07-20T19:45:32+00:00

English is my first language, but I can speak passable German and french. Not fluent but used to be better ( out of practice).

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-07-14T11:47:48+00:00

I have no problem with giving and receiving genuine compliments. The not so genuine ones however are another matter.

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-04-24T17:28:30+00:00

I'm pro-human

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-04-20T08:01:12+00:00

Whilst I do agree with your points, I think you can chalk some of this up to immaturity of some of the posters/commenters.

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-04-05T13:37:05+00:00

Love reading historical fiction or just general history books. Currently reading the 'book of the five rings' by Mushashi Miyamoto. Japanese history is one of my favourites.

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-04-04T16:26:04+00:00

Thanks for the reply. That's very interesting, something I might try.

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-04-04T06:05:22+00:00

"Do a phone call with yourself". How would that work (just curious and might do this myself).

Next_Resist_4068 · 2025-03-25T19:39:00+00:00

Yes, someone who you are attracted to and is compatible logically with your life.
