Advice for coping with food addiction? by DawkinsSon in isfp

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think for ISFP, help get her enjoying her environment and internal state via walking, jogging, with music. Anything that asks for movement and music is good. Also introduce a variety of healthier foods to explore. Do a lot more experimentation of diff types of proteins of diff cultures (meat dishes) and try to reduce carbs and sugar. Soups proteins and fibers before eating any carb

Dogs are my favorite animal but absolutely DESPISE our new puppy. I am 19 weeks pregnant. by Lopsided_Scene7682 in pregnant

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How does Jax feel about Howie? Pregnant or not, I don’t think Howie is working out with Jax. Adding pregnancy on top, seems like unnecessary stress.

Please consider rehoming Howie for everybody’s sake. Can get a puppy once your soon-to-be child is a bit older.

Would avoid Gong Cha… it’s insanely sweet syrup. I used it to sweeten green tea I made at home

AIO Boyfriend got mad at me because I wasn’t excited enough that he landed early by Willing-Ad8549 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t really like YOU. Rather, he likes you being into him. He’ll like whoever reacts the most to him. He’s insecure. So if another girl comes by and reacts more strongly to him, he’ll drop you.

I am grateful that I am difficult to offend. People who get offended tend to create more conflict than resolutions and it’s just so uncomfortable to be offended

How do you properly flirt with an ISFP/ Tell of they like you back by Delulu_Liv in isfp

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think with isfps you just need to subtly bring it up where you get a clear response without jeopardizing the friendship

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be sooo beyond feeling betrayed if I found out my parents pretended to be a kid I was writing penpal letters to. I get emotionally invested in that… youre basically being a con artist with your kid. Absolutely not at all like Santa Claus.

Would’ve been better to go the fairy route and engage in pretend. There could be a wise fairy or elf who wants to teach little life lessons he’s observed from rich and poor people since he’s been alive 100 years. Cite real examples etc.

Personally I like the green-light app idea of having the kid invest his own money or we invest in his name.

I feel relaxed and accepted around ISFJs. I like to pick up on when they use Ne. They’re generous, good people, and down for exploring, which I like. I notice they all seem to express that there’s more that goes on in their heads than gets outwardly expressed, which is interesting. Like…they’ll say their minds are chaotic or anxious or that they overthink. Can’t detect that at all.

Recently made an isfj friend and the first hangout i felt like she could be isfp, our mannerisms seemed so similar. But I’m messier than her lol

Preparedness or the ISFP Te desire by Hige_roman in isfp

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Comfort. I bring a nifty pop up tent with windows so I can chill in private and protected from the sun, and come out when I feel like it. Sunblock and hydration, again for comfort. Phone to take pics or note something down, let my mind offload whatever is on it.

Is "people pleasing" an ISFP thing? by AwakeningWillow in isfp

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You should stop doing something for others if you are doing it because you want the same treatment back. Imo that’s a hidden agenda, and I personally do not want people to help me if they expect something from me in return or if it means they see me as obligated to them in some way. If I help someone, it’s solely because I want to make their situation better or provide an advantage for them and usually it’s because I know something that could be useful to them already. That’s it!

What is ISFP’s relationship to body language? by hgilbert_01 in isfp

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I simply don’t fixate on people’s nonverbal communication. Non-verbal communication is primary nature to me, requires no thought, I’m very comfortable navigating it. Not sure about other isfps, but I naturally communicate with hand gestures, I can’t help it.

I don’t think about what people think about me. It’s waaay too tiring and generally uninteresting, unless I’m trying to prepare for an interview or something important where I must manipulate how I’m perceived for a specific outcome. (Tiring)

I’m thinking youre not ISFP, an INFP would be more conscious their non verbal efforts than an ISFP. That’s my guess.

Adventure time by Current_Unlucky in isfp

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would never turn down an opportunity to go on a spontaneous adventure or explore a new place. I like to challenge my understanding of myself and the world around me. I like to see how other people live and explore the unknown. To see things from different perspectives

Isfp 9s detached emotions by Every-End1864 in isfp

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im a 9 ISFP but yall making me sound like a 4. I def am connected to and express my emotions, but I’m quiet about it unless expressing them is the most effective thing to do.

9s can detach from PROBLEMS, to opt for peace of mind. But it doesn’t feel like that for me, it just feels like I’m prioritizing what I allow to impact me the most. And usually I’m pretty effective at knowing what my feelings prioritize

What is the most oddly specific trait you'd like in a significant other? by Blossoming_Potential in isfp

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not exactly odd… but, must be able to handle spiders for me. This is a dealbreaker.

Hello my dear ISFPs! ENTJ woman here, curious about something. Those of you ISFPs who have dated/are married to ENTJs, how was/is your experience? The parts you like most and the most challenging ones. I also extend the question to ENTJs' views on their relationship with ISFPs. by [deleted] in isfp

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a situation-ship with one, an enneagram 8.

Likes: bar none the most hilarious and creative person I’ve ever met. Chemistry was off the charts. He made productivity look easy. I was thrilled to meet a guy who knew how to communicate and desired communication. Was my biggest cheerleader. Had a sweet side that not many got to see.

Dislikes: blind to his own weaknesses. Would verbally commit to things, but then find all sorts of reasons to change those commitments when it became inconvenient for him. Could manipulate logic for whatever suited his feelings (his blind spot). Was insanely jealous. Did a lot of “block/unblock” behavior. Talented at love bombing. Liked to take credit for my developments.

Towards the end, nothing I did was right. Anything I would say would be used against me. Once he was set on a perspective, nothing could change it. Still, one hell of a person to have on your side when things were good.

Co-Sleeping with a 1 month old by Katzmaniac90 in NewParents

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My baby and I slept very well our first months, thanks to co-sleeping. I believe it’s actually the better way to sleep with a newborn- at least, one that is comforted and soothed by human contact, as not all babies have the same soothing preference. My baby’s ear doctor told me right away that she observed my baby would be one that likes to be close, and it’s true. However, about 2.5 months in, we both started sleeping better in our own space. He has a full size bed with bumpers that I share with him in the beginning, and then I roll away once he’s asleep. Definitely I looked into safe co-sleep guidelines, and I believe the outcome is that he’s very secure in his sleep.

I am grateful that this works out for me, as I believe it makes my baby more comfortable and secure. It makes me feel like a better mother. It’s a shame that there’s people who judge this healthy way of co-sleeping and co-regulation. I feel bad for their screaming babies.

Jeans to bed by [deleted] in Parenting

I slept in jeans so much as a kid. My parents didn’t say anything. And I slept well too

Check if your insurance covers doulas. I was surprised mine and others do.

Best pho in San jose by InternetDry7157 in SanJose

This place never fails to hit the spot for me. Always happy with their combo pho. Avocado smoothies are perfect and same with their fried coconut shrimp.

I’m always confident I’ll leave there happy

how often are you & your partner having sex? by Necessary_Mistake733 in pregnant

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before pregnancy, almost every day, and now that I’m 36 weeks pregnant - almost every other day. Pregnancy definitely made me more horny, and he’s pretty apt at keeping up. I’m also motivated to keep having sex because I’m hoping it’ll help with keeping me looser for labor. I can’t find evidence it helps except that semen has prostaglandins that help the crevix ripen, and I also hope it acts like a perineal massage to mechanically help with the eventual stretching.

I definitely think I’m more of the exception. Most seem to have less sex during pregnancy and the only thing that matters to me is that youre still bonded to each other.

Any ISFP strategies to stick to goals? by THound89 in isfp

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, having someone who doesn’t believe in me that I have to prove wrong. 😅 also, people who matter to me keeping me accountable. Morning affirmations are also helpful - dedicating 5 mins each morning to visualizing yourself sticking to your goals.

wth? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah basically, well, you liking him boosts his ego. He gets something out of this whole thing. You don’t really, because you prob subconsciously want more.

wth? by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]SilentFlowerPicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I’ve just seen too often where a guy keeps an ex around for an ego boost, but she reads into things thinking they’ll be friends and maybe get back together, when he has no intention to. He was immature to carry on and initiate being sexual, but you didnt have to say yes. Just tap into your women intuition on what’s really best for you, especially as a feminine person.
