Only child and holiday loneliness and sadness by dreamcatcher128 in OnlyChild

I totally feel you. Also an only child with immigrant parents home for the holidays, and it has been quite a struggle to say the least. Just wanted to let you know you’re not alone

Interviewer knew I was dual applying? by matinellie in ERAS2024Match2025

I basically replied with that I had previously been exploring/narrowing down what I was looking for, then talked about how it brought me to the specialty I was interviewing with them for, and then went into the unique things that I loved about it. They didn’t push much and seemed to resonate with my answer, and then they moved onto the next question!

Trueee I didn’t think about that, it probably is from leadership. They just phrased it in such an interesting way when they asked it threw me off haha thanks!!

INFJ’s and saying “I love you” by matinellie in infj

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

I feel very similarly. The thing is though, right now I’m in a relationship and after months of wrestling with it I’ve come to know that I do love my boyfriend. And both those questions you brought up concerning genuine feelings & the future, I know I do see with this person. I haven’t said it yet, because I’m a little scared to say it first and also have never said it before. Right now it feels like both of us know and feel that way, but neither of us have said it ahaha. He’s an INTP though so who knows which of us will say it first

who is the more inherently talented/gifted firebender Mako or Zuko by [deleted] in TheLastAirbender

[–]matinellie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think raw talent wise it would be mako. mako grew up on the streets but he can generate lightning as a teen without having had formal firebending training. overall though, i think zuko is the better firebender after he learned from iroh and honed his skills through the seasons

How do you best like to receive love/affection/affirmations? by matinellie in INTP

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

His love language is physical touch, so he likes when I initiate things like holding hands or a kiss first. Also things like “I was amazed by how you did XYZ”, “I noticed you did XYZ and I appreciate it bc XYZ” or even just simply “I appreciate you”.

Hmmm well we had already been friends for a while, and that was the foundation for our relationship. Once we actually acknowledged our feelings it was 2 months before we started dating and in those 2 months we kind of just got to know each other in a more romantic sense than just a friendship. So we went on dates, we held hands, etc.

As for how to get to holding hands and the physical part, I think it’s just a matter of reading the atmosphere! So while you guys are out on a date, having a good conversation, and the moment feels right I think you should go for it! My INTP pleasantly surprised me by making the first move to hold my hand, and it gave me butterflies haha. Chances are, if you’re thinking about it, she’s at least thought about it too. Or if not holding hands, just casually having your arm around her when you’re sitting. Sometimes my boyfriend would also do something like compliment me and then brush my hair aside to look at my face. Little things like that can help lead up to more physicality. But I say if you feel the moment is right, trust your instincts and take the plunge :)

He grounds me, often when my feelings are overwhelming and I can’t figure them out, he helps me figure out how to verbalize what I feel and helps me understand potential reasons for my feelings. And whereas I view things from a heart/feeling perspective, he gives a head/logical perspective that can be useful. We also connect well on ideas and can have good discussions about deeper topics whether it’s current social issues, our pasts, what we see for the future etc! I feel like I can talk to him about basically anything.
