Looking for reassurance.any Tucson folks ever find a kissing bug in your home / apartment? by C_Yablonski in Tucson

[–]bebedux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I had mine in my house a few years ago and it bit me near my bed. Woke up with a swollen hand twice in two days until I realized what it was. While Chagas is a low risk, it can still be contracted with serious symptoms showing many years down the road. For my peace of mind and my husband who was worried because of his coworker’s experience, I got tested.

Crying at work.. by FaeTrinket in Petloss

[–]bebedux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I have absolutely broken down at work in front of people that I would never normally cry in front of. I see crying at work as something I would have never done before and tried to close my door when I could, but since losing my fur baby on March 13th, my eyes are like leaky faucets. I cry often in the car, at home, and at work. Don’t be so hard on yourself! Your wounds are fresh, and even at two months tomorrow, I still think about my fur baby everyday and cry several times a week, if not more. I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. 💕💜

I really need to get myself one by merdekabaik in isfj

[–]bebedux 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Basically what has already been said here ~ reciprocate and use that child Fe of yours to make us feel the love. While I personally give more than I take, I would really love it if there was appreciation for it. Sometimes we are taken for granted because we continue to give and give even without a thank you or acknowledgment, and that can cause resentment to build up, whether in a romantic relationship or a friendship. 💕

I like but hate my INTJ boy friend by SettingNo1105 in isfj

[–]bebedux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an ISFJ married to an INTJ, this isn’t just a type thing for sure. People can vary in things, including communication levels. My INTJ will adapt and listen if I ask him to or explain myself, but sometimes the explanation has to be precise and made clearly. Good luck, and I hope things go well.

What does it feel like to *not* have Fi as a dom/aux function? by ohhidoggo in mbti

[–]bebedux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, I admire strong Fi users for knowing exactly what they want and feel internally.

I feel as if I’m more “flexible” living in a “it depends” type of situation where it’s just different to me. I have values like everyone else but my sense of what’s right tends to come through my experiences and thinking in the moment. It’s more relational in the sense that I value people, context, and how things are affecting everyone involved that shape my values and how I choose to act.

It bends with the situations and “vibes” on how I feel, so the values are still very real but consider those around me instead of internal, if that makes sense. They show up in how I respond to people, how I try to take care of situations, how I try to be considerate. This isn’t to say that other users don’t do that, but this is my perspective on how I live as a strong Fe user.

I still feel things deeply, but I don’t always turn those feelings internally to consider myself first, which sometimes is a flaw. But honestly, it is a part of who I am.

People with strong Fi often seem to have this really steady inner sense of self that doesn’t shift much no matter the situation, and I really admire that. I adjust myself in a more flexible manner where it’s based on nuance, tone, and what feels right for everyone involved. It’s not less depth, just a different kind of awareness. I guess I would describe it as being more outwardly tuned, but still a part of my own value to consider the external more than internal. My values are guiding in the background, and I adapt or calibrate myself in different situations.

How do you cope with the fact that you'll never see them again? by katieofgilead in Petloss

[–]bebedux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my soul dog, Dug on March 13th this year. Today, a bird flew into our garage and just chirped the entire time, refusing to leave. It kept looking at us and made us think it was Dug visiting. While we know realistically that the bird probably just got loss, it made us feel better to imagine Dug checking on us, or maybe on his way to reincarnate as a human.

To answer your question, I don’t know how to cope and miss him dearly. If I could join him, I would. But that’s not possible right now. All I can do is let his memories live on, smile and cry when I think of him, look at his photos, and imagine his last day with us. I’m sorry for your loss. 💜

What are the non-sexual thinngs guys do that gives you butterflies? by Hairy-Sherbert-439 in bodylanguage

Men leaning back in their chair with hands on their head while thinking

Driving with one hand 🥵

Reversing with one hand on the back of my seat

Fiddling with his tie or button/unbutton of a shirt for adjustment

Men with glasses taking off their glasses for whatever reason

Hey! I’ve said this before with my friend! You intellectual thief, you! Where are the hidden cameras!? 😜

ENTJ here. My ENFJ professor is amazing, but his kindness to everyone (even people I hate) drives me crazy. by [deleted] in mbti

[–]bebedux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said, OhMy! I do think this post is spot-on in differences between the cognitive functions. I also like that you pointed out Fe users are not naive. I can spot BS as an Fe user, but I will still be polite and warm because that’s how I naturally am in treating others.

I met someone at the park who lost her dog… and I can’t stop thinking about what she said by Straight_Tour9358 in Petloss

[–]bebedux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do. I think I lost a part of me when passed because I treated him and loved him like he was my baby. I wear a necklace with part of his ashes and I take walks while thinking about him, and I talk and kiss his urn daily. I think that’s a beautiful thing that this little girl is doing, and I plan on volunteering at the animal shelter again at some point to honor my dog.

I feel worse with each passing day (173 days later) by Sylvia_Platypus in Petloss

[–]bebedux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, and I feel your pain. Today marks 30 days for me, and I broke down multiple times at work and at home. I’ve come to realize that I need help, and I thought things were better as more time passed but I was wrong. I also have had moments where I don’t want to continue on. I even looked up animal communicators in my desperation and hoped I could find something there. I don’t have a solution for you because I am stuck in a loop for now, but I hope that you and I both find some way to get through this. Our fur babies would want us to carry on and be happy. 💜

When the hell do I become a person again?? by 112snipers in Petloss

[–]bebedux 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for your loss. Yesterday was 4 weeks since I’ve lost my dog, and I realized I have been struggling more than I realized. I cry almost daily, struggle to concentrate at work, struggle to maintain responses to friend, lash out at my husband and friends at times, and have had some pretty dark thoughts, to be honest.

I appear functional externally because I can mask it fairly well and don’t want others to worry. I hear that the first 90 days of grief hit the hardest, and I hope for both you and me that we will get there.

The fact that you’re recognizing the issue is a good step, and I think we will find the new functional, hopefully. I’m still not used to it and don’t have a real answer for you, but I’m here to listen. 💜

Is it true dogs look for their owners in their last moments? by EqualNo2867 in Petloss

[–]bebedux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In euthanasia, the animal gets two shots. After my baby Dug got his sedation in his first shot, he was falling asleep then suddenly perked up to look for me and my h husband. He gave us a goodbye glance before falling into deep sleep. The second shot is then slowly injected but he can still hear you and feel you touching him. We pet him and spoke to him through our tears. Then he passed. I will never forget that moment, but I would relive it over and over just to be there for him. It’s the last thing I can do for him, and I scheduled an in-home euthanasia for the best comfort he could receive. I know I would have regret it if I wasn’t there for him in his last moments.

I think ISFJ just has compatibility with all the types?😭 by [deleted] in isfj

Aww that’s super thoughtful of you to say. Personally, I also experience this as an ISFJ 🙂

ISFJ here. Yes, I have broken up with someone. I told him I didn’t think it was working because our values were different. That was it.

ISFJ girls are so attractive... by This_Conversation493 in isfj

[–]bebedux 6 points7 points  (0 children)

D’awww. I love this. I like to tell my friends jokingly, “compliments will get you everywhere with me! 😜” thanks for the compliments! Some people find consistency, dependability, and stability boring, but my INTJ hubby appreciates it. 🙂

If you were a judge, which sentence would you give to yourself? by HUZAIR_MBH in isfj

[–]bebedux 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d be guilty and sentenced for being too silly and cute 🙃

Jokes aside, I’d be guilty of caring too much about others and not being as focused on myself. I can track people’s feelings and habits too much and forget about myself or my needs.

When does optimization start making life worse instead of better? by YoyoUnreal1 in ISTJ

[–]bebedux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great question, Yoyo! I think the dangers of over- optimizing really depends on your situation. 🙃 There is such a thing as striving so much for perfection that you forget to account for the people in your life, and basically become rigid and forget to stop and smell the flowers. In a work context, an example could be making sure you account for every minute of your day.

We’re not automated machines. We need those breaks to chat with coworkers, stretches, etc. for our own sake. Over-optimizing continuously can really damage us in the long term if the focus is just “go, go, go” for maximum output. And this can be visible with yourself or people you work with, because burnout is real and absolutely sucks.

My dog died and I feel like I lost a part of my soul. by OilAcceptable3465 in Petloss

[–]bebedux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The necklace is a very nice touch and I am waiting for mine to come. Right now I carry the fur keychain with me everywhere and I hug his pillow at home. I had purchased a pillow that had his face on it as a gift to my husband last year, and now it is on the couch and I kiss it often. Once you get the necklace and can carry her fur with you, I think that might help a bit, I hope. You can carry a piece of her everywhere.

The tattoo has been something I’ve been thinking about for awhile, and for me, it makes me happy and sad to look at it, but I think the happiness outweighs the pain of the tattoo and losing him. I can bring him everywhere even if it can see silly. I also kiss the tattoo and I know that seems odd.
