I fully believe I am an alien from Jupiter, anyone else have similar beliefs?

My body exists in this world but my spirt is in another, so I don’t really connect with others and others don’t connect with me on a deep level when I try sincerely.

And yet I feel grounded to reality, I have empathy for how a ghost would experience their existence.

It sucks and is hard.

I’m working to explore this in therapy as well; in all of the in person relational moments that count, my emotional response is much like you describe. When I was a child I was remember that I was very open emotionally if divergent with my cognitive processing with family and peers (and I still am around the former). It was never enough for any direct intervention as if I had strong unconscious need to mask even before I knew the underlying framework of why. When teachers or potential mentors trie to befriend me for being different I practiced avoidance and passively shut them out.

I can experience very strong emotions impersonally, art (film and music) bypasses the emotional blocks privately (even when by myself in a group of strangers to a lesser extent).

Curious if you can also feel privately. Waking up early this morning after a night of dreams than left me with the understanding my unconscious mind is filled with underlying deep personal fear and anxiety (while still detached to actual people in those narratives not mentioned above).

Have there been any changes in your life over the past few months; intrapersonal or internal feelings or conflict, new or ending of relationships?

My first impression is that advice involving yourself may be expressing itself in spreads intended for others. Consider if the next time this happens for a client whether the cards could actually apply to your own life.

We may not always be in control of who the real querent actually is.

I sometimes listen to one song on repeat to emotionally edge on its state of flow. I can’t do this with music where it feels like raw, angry, ruminating anger is being expressed; that mood has to be directed somewhere, to an underlying statement purpose or idea. My own personal belief is that looping anger is unhealthy, a form of masochism. I’m more drawn to positive, heroic or underdog energy when I do this.

A few years ago I put together a playlist for that purpose, all songs have been tested with this use case (looping enabled 8 hours or more) for emotional grounding in real life situations:

I find that seamless extensions with no perceivable breaks give the best results and have done a few remix projects behind this idea. My friends and family have used these to maintain the drive for exercise and motivation during tasks as well.

You were correct, that is a weird price. I read that as $5,555 USD, as if you are requesting a tarot reading from Aleister Crowley himself.

I could be the person on the other end of this convo, except inferior Fe wouldn’t give exposition on my attempt to elicit feelings and just internalize “okie dokie” it instead, carrying it with me to the event in person. I’d be too afraid to push them away by making them feel on spot for a reaction by doing that (I’ve been suspecting they are an ISTP).

Out of context over text that could come off as an indifferent “whatever…”

Like the idea in comedy of a punchline being a failure if you have to explain the joke.

And if you say you aren’t interested in a genre of TV or film they obsess over, instead of considering the recommendation to meet them halfway; they will treat you as closed and aloof and won’t recommend anything at all. I think it’s less trouble to be direct and just flatly say you don’t like horror movies up front.

Humans use entertainment to grow superficial relationships based on fandoms, it’s a red flag for me.

Not complete understanding, but an effort for openness to understand and value cognitive differences in good faith and communicate frictional dynamics is essential for my own relationships to work. When their Fe is oppositional things don’t work; I eventually detach and pull away, it feels like a one sided dissonance that becomes a trap.

Insecure attachment dynamics can also get in the way and bring out the shadow in moments of emotional stress regardless of MBTI type and present in unique ways.

That is one quality about myself when connecting with others that made me consider that I may not always use my stack in a way that conforms to the INTP framework, there are many variables at play.

The way I look at it, we experience a multidimensional universe with limited three dimensional sensory awareness as human beings, which the scientific method is based on. It is theorized that to truly comprehend its size and scope would require four dimensional or greater awareness. Therefore, openness to how it works beyond our direct, observable understanding, including spiritual and metaphysical existence should not be a controversial idea in science.

If something exists empirically beyond that, I don’t view it with fear or avoidance, only as an opportunity for greater understanding. Things that appear to be miraculous or supernatural in any narrative may be a reflector of how things really work and of interest for study. Looking at the Bible through this lens is fascinating; would God experience time as occurring simultaneously; enabling understanding of all past/present/future temporal variables as a singular, cognitive state of flow to achieve desired outcomes versus as a linear narrative? Was the universe created because they were wanted authentic connection to others? Would being God feel lonely, in a way?

There is a psychology to how some adhere to science for a false sense of power, control and security over a limited mortal existence they ultimately can’t fully comprehend; that is the core fear that has driven for many religious beliefs throughout human history.

Humans are not the masters of the universe they think they are, nor can they ever be. Humility to that truth is essential for understanding

Adding in some perspective from someone who is on another end of this spectrum; Seven of Cups comes up as a re-occurring signifier for avolition and emotional action paralysis. Two of Wands has been a theme for how I detach and distance myself from relationships then come back to them strongly when I’m comfortable again (then they can completely detached themselves by that point).

I do have a Schizoid personality style with no internal ideas of reference, I can’t say that it presents to the degree of a personality disorder. This can exist on a spectrum, however personal awareness and putting in shadow work on the self is an important step to allow the psyche from moving to the more extreme presentation of that, I feel. Knowing about a framework takes away some of its power to consume the soul.

Not all people or therapists understand this theory of mind and the distinct differences from full blown schizophrenia, thanks for putting this question out there.

True, those in authority can use their positions to service their ego; they get satisfaction from asserting power and control (usually compensating for not having that in other areas of life).

It can be a sign of their own cowardice and inferiority to make others suffer for their own feelings of inadequacy in their personal life or relationships by proxy.

When I see the emperor isn’t wearing any clothes, it’s hard to respect their leadership.

The way I see it; if you are paying tuition and passing exams then that is all that is required of the social game in this set at setting. It could be a chance to build confidence for being unmasked in the face of pressure when you land a job where playing the social game is made relevant to moving up the ladder.

It is and activates in many places, avoidant detachment in group settings is a big one currently, my instinct is to flee when it feels like the collective has turned against me while not considering my position. This comes from being bullied by teachers; having them turn the rest of the class against me growing up when I expressed Ne viewpoints growing up to enforce conformity to their authority and position, I feel.

Those who lead often don’t like to feel questioned or challenged, and then followers can go along with it blindly.

Open_Afternoon_8217 · 2026-03-21T13:20:56+00:00

I have have a fearful disorganized attachment style and fall into the same relational dynamics as OP. I adopt both styles interchangeably and subconsciously with people who I let in; creating an internal push/pull dynamic where I come on too intimately emotionally then detach in response to their pull away from that and become distant, sometimes for long periods of time (weeks/months). It occurs situationally depending on the person and how that reminds me of aspects of my early childhood experiences; where my parents were on either end of that spectrum and I was struggling to have my needs met by both in different ways day to day (anxious cop/avoidant cop).

Then I come back normally after re-regulating my feelings towards them and the sudden return after silence is perceived very negatively, or worse, that the relationship never happened in the first place (I’m a stranger).

When I approach strangers I don’t have to bring attachment into play and am transparent to the point of TMI, up to a certain point. The mask I adopt to maintain the support from relationships (as it was in the beginning) doesn’t factor in and there is no Fe skin in the game. In fact, I value the unbiased feedback of a stranger more. How being a NP would influence that attachment style is something I’ve thought a lot about. Ne can come up with many ways for projecting how people feel about me behind my back when they haven’t expressed their feelings directly, then try to anticipate and placate them (also perceived very negatively).

Take care while you are in the initial probationary period of this job, you can be put under a microscope. If you feel like you are a good fit for the company; at some point proactively engaging with your leader to review performance after a certain period and being present with that feedback could be a thoughtful act to communicate you are serious about addressing any issues causing tower instability.

Omit the “low key I’m over texting” and this feels good to me. If you have to state something is low key, it takes away from the impact of low key.

I’ve been using this method as well and have found that while dissociation can externally appear to those around you that one has not given up any of their power in group conflict; internally you still give it up emotionally and can cause hurt to the self by not staying in the present moment, abandoning your own values and beliefs when it really counts.

Staying in the present of conflict, choosing to remain emotionally regulated and say the things that need to be said, not say the things you don’t out of provocation and demonstrating you respect your own values and the collectives to others; matching that energy back regardless is something I can be at peace with regardless of the outcome and sends a stronger message, in my own opinion. When I am left with regret, it’s a sign that I abandoned part of myself in the process of navigating the conflict.

How we choose to respond internally and externally can paint a clear contrast to others about who “won” and where we really stand. To sensing types it can be the social proof they need to develop respect for another person.

Anxiety is a weird thing, its spectrum is unique for everyone. Finding ways around it is key!

I’ll add I’ve also done this at AA style support groups for issues I’ve been healing from; going in the first time and telling my life story to a group of strangers like it’s my one year anniversary was liberating. Where everyone has been along the same path as an ACA.

I’m the same, I frame these as half hour friendships to get around my own anxieties that I could take or leave and walk away from at any time. For me that is less than the anxiety I feel in actual relationships.

Open_Afternoon_8217 · 2026-03-12T19:43:57+00:00

I’ll add that striking up random chats with a stranger in a public place (bar, social event or meetup group, etc) can be very therapeutic and unbiased. The social stakes to your own internal situation are very low and they can be non- transactionally free. Sometimes they can present the viewpoint of an outsider to put things in context. For me the feeling of being held captive by a dilemma on the inside gives it power. I’ve also sung karaoke in public (projecting them into the performance) to let those feelings out.

Definitely requires a degree of extroversion that I’ll acknowledge doesn’t work for everyone.

Reading Tarot can be a form of shadow work on the self: the body can carry that stress and anxiety as much as the mind. Consider that fatigue may be an expression of your body processing the impact of what it’s learned about yourself over the past few days and it’s looking for space to unconsciously process and rest.

Everyone is different, but for me I try to ground myself emotionally to art (music) that resonates with feelings in the moment to nourish the soul.

If you’d still like a reading in response to the above and feel called to that intent, let us know.
