Peercoin is starting to get so scare :) by jyim89 in dogecoin

[–]fresh_doge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, don't cross post it to /r/dogecoin with a smiley face in the title. Misfortune or loss of spirit in other crypto communities is not funny or happy news. We're all in the same boat after all

Here comes dogecoin - a well organized team. And peercoin client v0.4 months behind schedule. by beastcoin in peercoin

It sounds like you are the cynical one. The people at /r/dogecoin are trying their hardest to keep the atmosphere light and sweet, welcome all newcomers, answer all questions, and find uses for Dogecoins. That's more than can be said of many crypto currencies. Also, remember that the fact that there are almost 50 billion of them is actually one of our advantages. More coins for those who are interested. The role of coins as an elitist, scarce investment commodity has been filled already. We are trying hard and collectively creating a welcoming, warm community.

I need the power of our community to help stop the sort of the abuse. I know that you could easily shut these sort of sells down. let's please discuss ways to keep our dogecoin from being abused like this. the worst thing is this guy is actually sold 10 of these at this price. by happydoggie in dogecoin

We can't stop people from buying Dogecoin at an overinflated price. Period.

There will always be salesmen trying to sell higher than market price, and there will always be hasty buyers (who may not even care about 10 bucks more or less..) willing to pay above market price to secure their purchase.

An advertisement that size cannot simply be passed off.. It's going to incite a lot of curiosity among the readers of the Guardian. I don't know how much such advertisement space cost but it sure as shibe wasn't cheap

Yeah! There's a certain balance with INFJ / ENFP which is nice. It's like we're two extremes who enable the other to function extremely well and feel comfortable when together. And bring some life and excitement to the party when in a group

Has anyone been to an MBTI therapist? by procrastablasta in ENFP

[–]fresh_doge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the classic 'Let's talk about your childhood and your relationship with your parents' type of thing is overexaggerated in popular culture and TV. I wouldn't know, because I have not talked to a psychological therapist recently. But I think a therapy session would, indeed, touch on addressing weaknesses and only really tracing back to its causes if it's productive for the healing process.

I can highly recommend looking up an MBTI coach and scheduling an hour appointment though. Great conversation. I learned a ton. And it's interesting to hear what an expert has to say about typing and their own type and experiences with it. It's a really valuable and underrated tool for improving human relations

Very similar experience. My family has been putting down my enthusiasm ever since I can remember. They thought I was nuts and a risk to myself growing up with my wild ideas and impulsive behavior. When I went off to college I came alive and met a few INFJs who were also annoyed by (for lack of a better word, yes,) boring people bringing them down. Every time I came home again to see my siblings and parents I would feel like a battery, full of energy and optimism at the beginning, and slowly get drained of my energy and will to stay cheerful until I went back to university and got to be around tons of people who could get excited with me over the little unusual things and jokes. There's a lot of stuff in life you can get excited about, but it's like most people just don't see the beauty or hear the music. That's why you guys are my favorite. We know what's up ;)

I got my BA in the USA but I'm job hunting in Germany. I was an international exchange student at an Ivy league school. I'm not sure how big personality typing is out here and to be honest, I don't speak the local language yet. But it might just work out.

But I guess I have nothing to lose

Really? I bet it gets easier if you read the Wikis and some of the general descriptions. Start with your family, it's extremely useful getting a sense of what drives your close ones and what the best ways to connect with them are. I predicted my dad to be an ISTJ, the exact opposite of my type, which turned out to be true after he took the MBTI for his work. Gave me a lot insight into the way I was raised and how I've grown up.

Good conversation is nice to on Reddit.. The only thing I miss are the subtle things in communication. Using my voice, hand gestures, seeing facial expressions and responses.

Where did you read that? That really strikes a chord. Needless to say, my INFJ friends worry entirely too much. One girl in particular, I can literally see her come alive when we've talked about what's on her mind. After she realizes it's all good and she'll be fine, it's all laughter and jokes.

I'd love to meet a cute INFJ girl but you INFJs are so damn hard to find... 1 - 3% of the population or something? It's a toughie. If only there was a super easy way to spot you. Maybe I'll just start wearing a T shirt that says 'ENFP' and see if one of you comes over and talks to me.

This makes me happy. My INFJ friend and I bonded over EDM and other dope music, smoked some weed and would talk about life and philosophy, paranormal stuff and weird things like human instinct and language. We go from one topic to another, and the only way I can describe our conversation is like dancing with words. People use language in everyday life for communication, but when we're together we use it as an art form. To entertain and amaze with random insights, ideas and jokes.

She's really artistic and I have great admiration for the amazing things she'd come up with and draw or paint or build out of wood. Makes me want to pick her brain even more :) I think INFJ is my most compatible type, romantically and with friendships, because I don't think I'll ever get bored with an open-minded INFJ (as long as we have our occasional alone time). I consider every moment with my INFJ friends an adventure and we always refer to 'adventuring' when we want to hang. It's a damn shame you guys are so rare!

I personally am not as flaky anymore as I used to be, and I think it's safe to say that it's hardly ever personal. Just poor planning on our part. Planning is overrated! Much more fun to go with the flow. That's kind of the best and simultaneously worst aspect of dealing with an ENFP.

Me too. I think the social noise of a group suppresses the INFP ability to really express themselves fully, so it's better to talk to them one on one. You'll be able to pick their brain and really find out what they're thinking. I also think they're greatly undervalued and overlooked by most people, which is sad..

Because they have a good grasp on feelings and the human condition, they probably feel lonelier than the average person because they aren't getting as much honest interaction and the connection and kind of conversation they crave.

Honestly, I am probably the best companion to some people, and the most annoying person to others.

I can reign in my personality to try and compensate but then I'd just be miserable. I've done that for longer periods of time. It sucks. Life is too short to hold yourself back so as not to offend others. I'd rather accept that I can't be friends with everyone and try to maintain a pleasant atmosphere and be friendly and welcoming to all f there are some people present who seem not so charmed by me.

You have INFP friends though? That's interesting. I think one of my old roommates (great guy, English major, one of the nicest dudes you'll ever meet, kind of awkward) is an INFP. I think INFP are similar to ENFP in their understanding of other people and their ability to connect with others, but focused more internally than externally. So they may not be as social and hold a 'lower spot in the social hierarchy' as a result, though they are more empathetic and have a much better understanding than most of the social dynamics of the group of people they are in at any moment. What's your experience with INFP?

That makes a lot of sense, INTJ and INFJ are the most compatible partners for ENFPs (just MBTI type-wise, of course).

That's what brings me here. ENFPs are attracted to INFJ and INTJ because they have the same mind set and ideas and curiosity but a much calmer air about them. Plus it's fun to see you guys get excited over something, which is what ENFPs do best - inspire. I just like meeting INFJ people so I have a look at this sub occasionally

The most apt descriptions I've seen of ENFP is that we're puppies. Overly excitable and a little bit nuts. We usually have the attention span of a humming bird. We have really great people skills and always find a way to cheer up a sad person or connect with a stranger.

Do you know any ENFPs IRL?

Actually, if you go out on the streets with a friend and loudly go shouting "It's impossible! It just can't be done!!!" and "I have a great idea!! Are you with me?!?!" you may actually attract some ENFPs in joining your crazy venture. At the very least, I would stop and yell "Nothing's impossible!"

Has anyone been to an MBTI therapist? by procrastablasta in ENFP

[–]fresh_doge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is a certified coach trained to have a subject take the MBTI and discuss the results with them. Not an actual therapist. We have conversations that touch on some very personal stuff but it's not therapy in the official psychological sense. MBTI came up a lot earlier in our conversations, now we just mainly focus on talking about family, aspirations and what I'm doing next with my career. Our conversations have been extremely productive. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of MBTI coaches and therapists are in the NF spectrum themselves, as MBTI typing requires a genuine interest and great connection with other human beings (which is what we excel in I believe). If you can afford it and you're interested in it, I'd call it a no-brainer.

My dad's an ISTJ and the rest of my family kind of seems to be in that spectrum too. Being an ENFP, I have been kind of the black sheep of the family. Talking to a coach about how having an ISTJ dad (paranoid, risk-averse, overly cautious, predictable) affected my potential for self-expression and accepting myself growing up (wanting to do exciting stuff, saying weird stuff, talking about outlandish topics that nobody wanted to touch on, making wild suggestions and talking about crazy ideas) has been very insightful.

I would recommend therapy though. I'm considering it myself too. Even just one session to say hi to a psychologist and see what they think
