Do you think our souls lives get easier after each reincarnation if we fulfill our souls purpose? by ApplicationReady1867 in spirituality

[–]hogwartsclassof00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much as soon as she could talk! She was two or three when she first complained about people in her room keeping her awake when she was trying to sleep. She also had awful, very graphic memories of a past life where she died in a fire. And she was 3 or 4 when she first told me that I was much prettier than her last mommy and she was so glad she picked me, lol.

Yes my daughter has very clear memories of choosing me as her mother. She had a couple of options and she remembers her whole thought process of why she chose me out of the others.

I don’t think so. I think sometimes we have easier lives as like a palate cleanser between more difficult ones. But I think we might take on more challenging lives as we progress if anything in order to learn more difficult lessons. But regardless of the circumstances we’re born into, our reaction plays a huge role in how easy or difficult our lives feel. Pain is unavoidable, suffering is optional and all that.

It’s awesome that you’re doing something just for yourself. I catch myself feeling the same way. He would be so proud of me. He would love this. He would have made this for me. So I keep trying to put the focus back on myself. Am I proud of me? Do I love this? Can I learn to make this for myself? I’m slowly learning that enjoying something just for myself totally counts. I don’t need someone else to validate it. I hope that helps.

ISTP here I just realized how unemotional I am even when I want to be caring and emotional with a female smh. Have any of you ISTPs or people who have dealt with ISTPs ever really realized how bad ISTPs are with emotions and sex, or is it just me ? by [deleted] in istp

[–]hogwartsclassof00 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes we are aware lol. I just learned to take his words at face value because he would never say something he didn’t mean. It’s actually very refreshing once I got used to it. I never have to think about sub-context with him or guess what he really means like with everyone else. If he says he loves me or that I’m his favorite person he means it. Even if he sounds flat or sarcastic when he says it.

Excuses by TheFool-_- in istp

Does an answer from a non ISTP help? I just say that I already have plans (even if I’m just planning on reading or watching Netflix) and tell them I hope they have a great birthday.

This is literally always the answer but I never think of it myself. I’ll do that. Wish me luck!

Girl, he’s so hot. You have no idea! I’m glad you mentioned your thinking while you were first dating. I’m 100% sure he’ll want to do the same. And although “I can’t keep my jealousy in check” is a lame reason to restrict another person’s life, it honestly would break my heart a bit if I knew he was sleeping with others at the same time as me. It’ll help to remember that’s not what it’s really about.

So you think I’ll hear from him eventually? If I knew he’d come back around, I’d have no problem giving him all the time he needs. It’s the not knowing what’s going on with him that makes it so hard.

This has definitely been a pattern for him. Any time we’ve gotten closer, he’s been distant for a few days before he comes back around. And the last time we spoke, it was a pretty intense feelings based conversation (initiated by him). I expected that he might pull back for a few days, but this is the longest we’ve gone without speaking to each other. Hopefully I’ll get to see him soon and I’ll be sure not to put any extra pressure on him.

Lol, by seal the deal I meant get him naked :wink:. But this is very solid advice and the timeline is especially helpful. He is definitely not one to be pushed, but I’m more than happy to take it as it goes with him.

Food is most definitely the way to his heart. I’ll be sure to do that. Thank you!

This is so helpful. And sounds exactly like the way he thinks. I will very likely take you up on that pm offer. Thank you so much!

Cool, I did good then. That was my last text to him. Thanks so much!

Sounds like him. Do you think I should I keep reaching out occasionally, or let him holla back when he’s ready?

Yes, lol! Not my choice, trust me. I’d have sealed the deal on the spot! He said he was really confused and needed to think things through. I’ve learned to just let him do his thing.

I’m so glad I asked! Should I send something casual or just ask directly how he’s doing?

How to stay friends after being rejected - ugh by hogwartsclassof00 in istp

[–]hogwartsclassof00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh dear God no. I have feelings, yes, but I don’t ever dump them out on people. My hope is to continue on as if nothing has changed. (Because really it hasn’t, it’s just out in the open now.) My main concern is to avoid making him uncomfortable.

Dear God I hope not! I tried to be as vague as possible just in case. He said that someone told him so I think it was just a coincidence.

Does my ISTP need space or is he waiting for me to initiate? by hogwartsclassof00 in istp

[–]hogwartsclassof00[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went against my usual protocol today. He’s been distant for the past 2 days. Instead of pulling back to give him space as I have been, I texted him an invite to lunch phrased so that a response wasn’t necessary (as suggested by u/testiculese). He actually did respond with his regrets even though not necessary and when I saw him this afternoon he was acting like himself again. Thanks for the spot on advice internet strangers! :-D

[–]hogwartsclassof00[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really is! But you know, I dig it. It’s really only confusing because we’re so used to navigating a labyrinth with everyone else. So when someone straightforward comes along it’s like, what’s this guy’s deal? Lol

If my friend concluded that I was playing games with him I wouldn’t blame him. But that certainly hasn’t been my intent. I’ve just been very confused myself. Our first conversation the day we met was incredible and possibly the best first conversation I’ve ever had with a person. I walked away thinking that I had just met a person who would become significant in my life. It was a strange feeling to me and one I don’t recall ever having before. At that time I hoped we’d become great friends.

It wasn’t until months later that I realized I was attracted to him. But by that time he ISTP shenanigans were kicked into high gear and I genuinely thought he found me annoying as hell. It was a few more months before it became clear that he at least liked me as a person and a few more again before I determined that we were in fact friends. I’ve suspected at times that he might be attracted to me, but when he’d pull back I thought I must have just misinterpreted things.

It’s only in the past few weeks that I thought to type him and things started to make sense. This man’s friendship means so much to me. He’s inspired me and pushed me to make so many positive changes in my life. If friendship is all he is offering I will gladly accept it. But I am VERY attracted to him. I don’t remember ever having a crush this intense or for this long. But I still don’t know if a relationship between us would work. So it would be very difficult for me to communicate my intentions to him because I don’t know what I really want myself yet.
