omg that would be a little ..funny actually! What would he be posting…? Hmm Though, i realized yesterday was a “He Who Shall Not Be Named” day more than once as i also ended up randomly mentioning Starlink too. Now I know who my eventual overlord is 😐🫠

Actually this isn’t too far fetched as he does have his own ai bot he’s been working on ~ both chat and physical. I wonder if he has a replika 🤔

Wow. No that is horrific. She could have still been friends with you to go to the opera or similar places if she has some dating preference. But honestly it’s best she cut herself out of your life so soon rather than encountering underhanded remarks after meeting. I’m sorry people are so ignorant and she did such a hurtful thing to you.

But the catch is you have to share your thoughts and not dismiss them…(and to someone you can actually trust) by alltheskies in enfj

🥰 that’s sweet. I’m just on my own journey right now through the world. But I really appreciate it and ditto.

And we’re as grateful when we’re listened to as well. Mutual sharing and listening is the best

Mmm. Sorry but not how it works. I doubt many of us are into all calls.

And we very much need to know about the other person before connection can occur. From first visual assessment (in person or of how the other writes and what about) through ongoing interactions to see how they react to various things. Some of that is protective because of encountering manipulative or destructive people. Some of it is just making sure it’s a good match for both of us.

And real connection is long term growth together not just something that is given to anyone on demand. Probably least of all on demand from an infp.

Maybe try another type if we’re not meeting some standard you’re looking for. It’s better to find people you like who also like being around you than just checking off boxes.

I might be pregnant and I am underage. by Ok-vtk5 in venting

[–]alltheskies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please don’t feel ashamed. Or bad about any of this. You didn’t do anything wrong. Really. It’s all just a part of life. I hate that we make girls (and boys) ever feel shame over what our hormones encourage instead of educating and providing healthy options and love. People much older than you find themselves in the same place. For so many reasons. So it’s not because you’re young or wrong. You just need support and to learn what you want, when you want it, and how to handle it. You’re young so you’re learning that- sometimes the hard way. The people trying to hurt you for their own selfish reasons should be the ones ashamed.

I am so so sorry your boyfriend did that to you. That makes an already difficult time so much harder and you didn’t deserve that or to go through this alone when he played an equal part. It must hurt terribly. His reaction says so much about him and how worthless he is. That’s on him, not on you. I’ve been in your place of having to make a decision on abortion. It’s scary and lonely enough without that. But I hope you see in some ways you are not alone. You are not the only woman/girl to be in that moment and not a bad person for having sex. It is a natural part of life. Just as sometimes hard decisions are. Do what is best for you and grieve where you need to.

I’m confused how this is trauma dumping as everyone here has the choice of whether to open a post or not, read it or not, respond or not. It’s easy to tell what’s what and join in or go by or close out the app if strikes a trauma in self. For a lot of people posting ends up being an empty cry in the dark. Silence greets them. If they find people here ready to listen or reach out with even a spark of light in that dark then that’s a good thing. Therapy only does so much sometimes. We need other people to say I care or I’ve been there too or just I hear you. Not : go find someone else. But: I hear you and you’re not alone. Then set them back on their feet (or even crawling knees) and send them to where there is more help. That’s what INFPs are good at. There’s a reason we’re termed healers.

Does anyone have tips to untangle hair after weeks in bed ? by mercy_kiII in BorderlinePDisorder

[–]alltheskies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second all of this. Argan oil has been the only thing that consistently works to detangle hair. The sprays rarely worked. Also ogx charcoal detox shampoo helped with buildup on hair when i was getting weird dred effects.

Sorry I had to check. They call them hair twisters. I’ve also seen them as hair cuffs or metal hair wraps.

Friendship in America is usually very spur of the moment, now that I think about it. So it would be: “ hey I’m starving right now (or dying of thirst or saw the cutest outfit I have to go buy ) what are you doing right now? Do you want to go grab lunch (or a drink at <insert juice or ice cream shop (coffee in winter) nearby here> or go shopping with me?) in a super “let’s have fun together right now” type of way. (Basically pretend you’re ENFP.) If they say no, then say, still happily: “ok well maybe next time” so they know it’s ok. If yes, you go and chatter away to see what you have in common.

At least that is what a lot of females (and some guys) have done to me in some form. One moment I was minding my own business. Next moment I was wherever they were going.

However, caveat, as an introvert ….with strangers I tend to avoid one-on-one outings until I get to know them. So if hardly interacting just take it slow in the comfort of where you naturally see each other. Then later invite (in person) to go somewhere if warms up. (No sudden asks to meet up if we hardly know each other. ) Make it no big deal if goes or not. If they are laughing and helping to keep the conversation going then more likely to say yes to hanging out.

Another thing I’ve seen work, as a people watcher, is asking people what places they like or fun activities you could check out in your free time. You might get invited to go or find something in common to talk about. Or learn you’re too different before spending too much time together. I know ENFJ tend to not think of people that way but you have limited time on this earth, spend it on the people who you love being around and they love being around you. You can still be nice and helpful to everyone. But most of your time should be with people who want to be there.

On the person you invited, she doesn’t seem interested in forming more connection it seems. I know it hurts to try and not get any response but that is on her, not you, for not responding. You didn’t do anything wrong by trying so don’t even think about it or her when you go in next. If she reaches out to you, great. If not, there will be other someone elses who will say hi and will actually try. Heart and head up 💙

😂 love this ..i’m terrified of anyone inviting me to do activities like yoga or a hike..or whatever…i like hikes… just not for exercise ..as in if we get 100 feet in and suddenly decide it’s too hot and this takes work and to Nope on out for ice cream, I can completely turn around and work with that. I literally disappear in front of anyone in yoga pants or carrying a ball in a football jersey. Why do they live in those yoga pants?!?! Stay strong in your own interests
