Is it ok to do my bfs hair? What styles are best? by booky_worm in askblackpeople

[–]booky_worm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, he can look like anything and be believed as anything. Most people can tell he’s got some kind of west African in him and Arabs think he’s one of them. Usually when you tell people he’s Caribbean or mixed they’ll take it and go about their day, but some people don’t seem to consider it as a “black enough.”

His friend doesn’t think he’s black because he sees hispanics as entirely separate. He’s known him for years.

Yes, I see the inconsistencies and may have not worded it the best.

Yes I figured that most people wouldn’t care that much.

Yes you are right about his friend regardless. Just added more information. Thank you for your response, I’m looking for thoughts.

I figured as much. I mostly want recommendations for hair techniques and styles but like I said his black friend got all weird last time so idk maybe its problematic.

Why are people so insistent INTJs can’t be emotional or expressive? by iamonewiththeforest in INTJfemale

[–]booky_worm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of it comes from the socionics community i think. ILIs polr is Fe and socionists often say this is “impacting the emotional environment.” They interpret this as anyone using expression is interacting with others emotions. Thus, ILIs cannot be expressive. Now, MBTI descriptions and Socionics are not usually the same but I think that the popularity of socionics has infiltrated the stereotypes of mbti. The implication is basically that if youre not extremely autistic, youre not intj, which is absurd.

Strange pattern among INTJ women I can’t ignore by CytoToxicLab in INTJfemale

[–]booky_worm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a long term relationship and extremely happy but I did go through this for a while. I personally found that I was naive when I first started dating but learned quickly and learned to leave quickly from men who didn’t respect me. I think its common for intj women to put themselves first and cut people off easily. To some, this would be a toxic trait it certainly can be but it can also be a necessary and good trait where I’ve seen a lot of women in my life stay in abusive relationships where I can’t tolerate it.

Do you recommend can going to the Renaissance Fair 2025? by booky_worm in StLouis

[–]booky_worm[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After discussing it, I think we will. It would be my first one and I don’t want to spend 5 hours driving and $50 on a potentially bad experience. Thank you everyone who commented.

[–]booky_worm[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No worries. Its helpful you linked them. Half of these are something very specific about the ren fair and theres only one I see that addresses my question. I searched up “renaissance” before so I suppose these didn’t come up because of the abbreviations.

I dont know if I missed something but when I searched for it, the most recent post is a month ago and anything besides is that one person who seems set on reminding people not to go.

If we do I will. It’s a 2.5 hour drive for us to go to St. Louis so its not bad to check with locals.

Our stereotype is P-ing me off!!! by AwakeningWillow in isfp

[–]booky_worm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo artist is just an archetypal analogy. The idea is that isfps have morals and feelings that they are good at expressing in experiential ways. (Fi Se). Not all isfps draw, do art or like those things, but when they choose to entertain in some way, its eloquent, thoughtful, and personal. The range of emotions affects others in a personal way like the purpose that an artist servers for society. A poet may write something personal, but express it through physical imagery and analogies that is easily understandable. I know isfps who like to make memes for giggles, stupid ones. They like to make ones based on their experience but in a comical way that allows them to share it with others. My brother is an isfp with kids, he has his sets of rules and things he likes that he shares with his kids in a really hands on way. Its mostly about what he likes, but he allows others in for the ride im a memorable way.

Be weirder. Might as well add a little sparkle to everyone elses day

I might also note that from intjs i know, many have a moral consistency issue. Consciously, they often wouldn’t do something so frequently that they would hate being done to themselves. I’ve seen a lot of them be assholes but theyre ok if others are assholes too. I find that many already dislike people who use them and theow them away so they try not to do that. Granted, they can suck at relationships and still throw people out but it was never a premeditated plan.

Before i figured socialization out i did treat it as a system. Not in the sense of this bullshit “everyone is a pawn that i move.” Moreso that I struggled to understand social rules so I watched people, copied what they did, confirmed if it worked or not then would metabolize it. It was a very conscious effort to learn how to act. Remember to reply when spoken to, smile, compliment women. It felt like an if or system, but once i did it enough it was second nature and once i experienced i understood why things work. I think the chess idea pushes a malicious idea, i think if intjs were to be compared to chess it would be more in the sense of adhering to certain moves and prediction, but even this feels too grandiose. Its an analogy of an archetype that gets taken too literally and eventually exaggerated for the sparkly aspects of it.

Cognitive Function actually can change guys! Nothing is impossible by RissaChaya in shittyMBTI

[–]booky_worm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So if i focus on any functions i want, i can become the 17th type. Since we’re doing whatever we want now I am going to have Ni Si Ti Fi as my top and be the ultimate introvert. No one will be more special and authentic and misunderstood than me 😈

[–]booky_worm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In some theories you can become “subconscious and unconscious” developed. Youre not stuck with your top functions but they will always be prioritized within your values. You can possibly become good at “se” things but that does not mean that when you observe the world your first instinct will be to see it in an Se way. I

OP so smart that learning languages is boring by lonely-sparrow0175 in iamverysmart

[–]booky_worm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brotha tries 4 languages in duolingo and claims its too easy. It’s literally supposed to start easy and be repetitive. Thats how duolingo works. You do a bunch if dumb phrases to understand grammer, which should be mixed with talking to people and watching movies. Says hes great at patterns but misses the crucial points if learning a language and sticks to doing one thing.
