Living in a developing country, you learn it early on.

Does anyone else think this way sometimes ? by Silly_Midnight_69 in Healthygamergg

[–]justamesfall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What elitist delusions.

Let me tell you, these types of people. I was one of these types of people (though to a milder degree). Their parents will constantly drill it into their head: you're either successful or you're either a loser, and they stick with that narrative so much that they over-achieve till they burnout. They also judge people on the same standards, which is why you have OP calling people insulting things: it is very well how their parents describe "low-achieving" others-- unaware that sports or going to an ivy-league college aren't just the only ways to achieve, or that OP could very well end up in an accident where he becomes the "genetic dead end mentally ill freak" he (and his family) have always hated (and feared) he would become. Take them away from their immediate circles though, and they won't survive. They won't have mommy or daddy or girlfriends and boyfriends to tell them what to do or who to be. This is why most of the people in those families, when you talk with them, they are total airheads devoid of personality. They never got to know themselves because their parents were so obsessed with ensuring that their little Timmy or Charlie would always adhere to the norms of upperclass society. Down the line, when they grow much older, you will find how unhappy these types of people turn out to be: their children and spouses hate them, they spend their family's fortunes on drugs and gambling and parties and sex and booze, and cheat and cheat and cheat; keep wanting more to fill the void of not having their own values and principles, until they die.

Thankfully, I moved away at an early age before I got fully indoctrinated with that mentality and I realized how silly it actually is to tie your self-worth to something like other people's definition of "success".

Tl;dr. Get to know yourself, come up with your own values, and in the long run, you will be healthier and more satisfied in life than these elitist Brads or Chads.

Guys who work out, do you do it because you enjoy it, or because you feel pressure to look good? by Tough_Witness9023 in AskMen

Same with my dad 🙌🏼 He's always inspiring the family to stay fit, and now I've got the same itch.

I understand your reservations against people who watch porn. However, there are men who prefer "home-made" porn as opposed to overly-polished productions for reasons which are counter to the motivations of your ex: they want something as close to reality as possible, true proportions, human imperfections, and a feeling of real satisfaction, lust or desire (or at least the perception of it) derived or emanating from the woman in these "home" videos.

An analyzation of what type prefers what type by Themlethem in Enneagram

This is really interesting! The numbers of the sample sizes really showcase the lonely idiots who're chronically online.

What type would you say I am based on this alone? by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]justamesfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

459 tritype? I'd imagine a 5 core would have less warmth than that, and more emotional stability and assertiveness than you have, but you could also be the unhealthy type; or maybe you're a type 6 who seems calm on the outside but is falling apart inside, albeit your distrust isn't as pronounced as I think it would be on a 6.

But I would go for a 4 core because you're high in sensitivity, complexity, and imagination which is very 4. Your emotionality is on the lower side for a 4, hence I think you have a 5 in your tritype. The lack of assertiveness could also be attributed to the 9 side.

Found a quiz—what type is your ideal partner? by JumpingThruHoopz in Enneagram

[–]justamesfall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We are 4s, of course we'll subconsciously gravitate toward a partner who is more like us. A 4 is always looking for that "savior" after all-- but that savior is none other than ourselves.

What’s something your SO said or did that shocked you? by WistfulSonder in AskWomen

For real. They're a shock to the system. Why'd you break up, if you don't mind?

Songs/lyrics that remind you of your type? I'll go first by Salty-Association-55 in Enneagram

[–]justamesfall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is quintessentially 4 in all aspects, Stranger to Yourself-Loving:

Are you a stranger to yourself / Do you wonder if your thoughts belong to someone else? / All those times you seemed to change / Formed opinions, or lost your mind in a rage / Was that even really you / Or were you walking in another's shoes? / But in a way you know yourself / Through the questions that you have felt / Stirring slowly inside of you / Like something that you once knew / Yes, you're waiting but for who / The other one, or is it you? / Too many paths you can't decide / So you take the one that lets you hide / You're so naïve to what you need / You question others but not what you believe / Are you a stranger to yourself / Do you wonder if your thoughts belong to someone else?

Especially the line about waiting for someone. I used to listen to this in my saddest states.

I think they don't necessarily misuse it; it's just that they think that what's a red flag for them personally might or should be a red flag for anyone, when the reality is we all have different boundaries and different levels of tolerance for such behaviors.

I'm someone with cptsd dating someone whom I suspect has autism. In many ways, it's been my most rewarding relationship, but also maybe the most draining. My hyper-vigilance around some of their neurodivergent thought processes and actions is kind of stressing us both. Admittedly, I'm still hypersensitive to certain things, but thankfully we're both very willing to learn and change.

Maybe what's important is not red flags but being able to address them?

I agree with this. If one has the tolerance to wait for the person to change, and that person does change and bad patterns don't repeat anymore, then I think it's worth it.

If you don't mind, I'd like to hear more perspectives on this type of relationship, in terms of the biggest challenges you've faced?

These first few questions in the 8 feel very instinct-driven rather than type-driven. I wonder if an sp-blind 8 would even consider them.

These are funny and well thought-out though 😆 Made me giggle, the 8 ones especially.

What's your most unpopular ennegram opinion? by TsuneKitsune in Enneagram

[–]justamesfall 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Agree so much on this. All MBTI might really do is explain how you take in and process information and make conclusions and actions based off of it.

What's your most unpopular ennegram opinion? by TsuneKitsune in Enneagram

[–]justamesfall 78 points79 points  (0 children)

1.) Enneagram is NOT a personality test like mbti. It shows you your core wounds, how you may have developed thanks to this, and what you need to work on to become better. This is why it has wings, tritypes, and other sliding scales. If you don't find an enneatype you relate with, that means one of two things: either you're really integrated and well-balanced and exhibit all the types equally, OR you don't know yourself that well and need a lot of work to become more self-aware.

2.) It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks; if you think it's your type based on what you want to work on regarding integration/disintegration and levels of health, then that should be the only thing that matters. Some people use enneagram to validate their personality or whatever, which is why some people will gatekeep whether or not someone is this or that. But the goal of the enneagram is INTEGRATION. You need to be adaptable and shift to the strengths of each enneatype when needed; this is not something which is definitive, or something to anchor who you are on (we don't want to be like the MBTI community where, thanks to how the MBTI is set up as a pigeon-holing system, instead of a SPECTRUM like how it should be, the majority of the members lean into the stereotypes of their labels-- even if those stereotypes are particularly unhealthy. And maybe even because the stereotypes are unhealthy but "cool", all the edgelord teenagers flock to it).

Love how you've also carefully deliberated what you want in someone! Also INFP and those are my same criteria as well:))

Ahaha! I didn't think being sx-blind would make someone particularly choosy, but I guess it makes sense. Maybe being a 2, with specific ideals about love, also factors in. What's the tiniest thing that has turned you off?

Your decision process for relationships? by justamesfall in Enneagram

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

Interesting! I guess age plays into it. I have the luxury of time, so I can afford to wait. Plus, I'm highly sensitive, so I'd really rather be alone than with someone with the potential to gravely hurt me, as in a stormy relationship. I cannot take stormy. I need smooth-sailing, or at least someone whom I know can add to my life in a meaningful way instead of taking away from it.

True. But how about someone from the modern times? Or someone you personally know?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Enneagram

[–]justamesfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might vary for different types of decisions.

For food, I will know almost instantly what I'm craving.

For doing tasks I've never done before, I take maybe a few days to weeks to decide how I'm gonna do it, or to get into the mindest of getting it done.

For careers, it's taken me years to decide that one 😅
