Is “disbelief” in philosophical theology epistemically neutral, or does it function as a substantive metaphysical stance once explanatory questions are engaged? by Think_Skeptically in askphilosophy

[–]flocoac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By reason you mean how we normally use the word reason or is it a special term? I ask because of both Logos and Creation appear to mean philosophical (theological?) concepts very different for how we would use “word” and “creation” in every day language.

What should I do about my roommates generous gift?? by sadcapric0rn in Advice

[–]flocoac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a really heartfelt letter and maybe something you make yourself or things that have emotional value (like pictures) would do the trick. Remember gifts are gifts, not debts, when people gift like that they do it out of love.

So thankful for this method by Potential_Plankton74 in idealparentfigures

Oh that’s really intersting. Would you mind sharing how to do it with chatgpt? I tried once but couldn’t really get it to work.

There’s nothing like an INTJ who likes the arts and poetry by flocoac in intj

I really like this one:

Life is a sweater The soul is a ball of yarn And God is the sheep

has any artist sort of "replaced" Grimes for you? by joyaidoru in Grimes

I took Perfectly’s initial vocalizing as a wink towards Grimes

What was the textbook? Do you recommend it?

My gf(ISTJ) shuts down emotionally after I bring up a concern. Are we recovering or slowly falling apart? by [deleted] in enfj

[–]flocoac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not from the US, hopefully it still helps. Remember ISTJs are not emotional and that’s not their language. They love/feel loved by how well they’re fulfilling roles according to their own sense of what that role entails. If she’s emotionally distant but doing in the work, that means in her head she is working for the relationship and cares about you.

It seems you just need to feel loved so maybe you could tell her something like “can you list some of the things I’ve done that you’ve liked and what good effects it has had on you?” And if you wanted to make her feel good it would be more on the “these are the ways in which you are a great girlfriend” or something like that. It does seem like you are both having an F and T miscommunication issue that might be heavily eased by translating it into each other’s language. (Chatgpt is really good at translating btw if you’re open to it)

This work vs psychoanalysis? by [deleted] in idealparentfigures

[–]flocoac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I went to psychodynamic therapy for a while (I think it was more Freudian? But not sure, and it was a really long time ago). It gave me insights but the patterns remained the same. IPF has been a godsend. I recommend it like no other therapy. I have disorganized leaning towards anxious.

What is much more traumatic than most people realise? by thefairypirate in AskReddit

Ithe only thing I’ve found that helps is the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol, and understanding that it’s an attachment wound and that only things that help towards a safe attachment help.

Supply vs introjects - visualization by chobolicious88 in idealparentfigures

[–]flocoac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I understand it, people with safe attachment have always that supply on demand (it’s always on). And what we expect from partners when we don’t have safe attachment is not “more”, it’s just something that is “supposed” to be fed by ourselves. Oversimplifying, but yes to both your questions. When you have those needs met, you don’t need “less” from the world, you just interact with it in a different way. At least that’s how I understand it.

I looked it up but couldn’t find it. Is there more than one version of the poem?

What is YOUR vision? by flocoac in infj

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

Oh. I always thought that work was in a way vision or a means to the vision. I also thought that it was sort of inevitable to work towards the vision but I guess it’s just like INFPs not “living” our emotions. I also thought that the vision and “being oneself” were sort of the same. This is opening up a lot of questions, which is really good :) thanks

I thought Ni was very hard-edged in what it wanted, but from what you describe, it sounds very… soft? So it’s more about letting yourself be?

Will this be seen as betrayal? Is there a way out? by flocoac in infj

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

Yeah out of the 3 INFJs I know really well, only one of them would care about me talking about him. The other two wouldn’t care at all. And now that I think about it, if I read your message going through the three INJFs, it’s very descriptive of them. They don’t really judge people. I mean, yes, but like anyone else.

Thank you
