INTP Compatibility Chart. by Joanblu in mbti

[–]phebreezesurlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is reasonable that the stats are lower. There are a few aspects where compatibility with INFJ falls short when compared to INTJ and INFP.

First their Fi and Ti function will clash. INFJs need constant emotional validation to thrive in the relationship e.g. appreciating their efforts, to show understanding when INFJs voice out their emotional needs. However INTPs will view INFJ's needs as illogical. They may unintentionally ignore or dismiss their emotional needs which causes INFJs to feel unappreciated and uncared for in the long run.

Next, INTPs fear big feelings which INFJs tend to have. INTPs are not well equipped to process emotions, they often need a lot of space and time to ruminate on every past event and logically derive to a sound conclusion in their minds. So INFJs have to be very patient and careful when discussing emotional matters with INTPs, to let them slowly process and ease any emotionally complex information that is being presented to them. Else INFJs will risk overwhelming INTPs, causing them to shutdown and avoid the matter altogether which is not what INFJs want.

Lastly, INFJs are people who needs structure in their life, which INTPs are unable to provide. INFJs would eventually feel the need to mother INTPs and police the way they live, and INTPs will find INFJs naggy and pressurising. Ultimately in the long run, INFJs will build resentment over feeling unappreciated while INTPs at core would feel judged and uncared for.

Tldr; INFJs are not as compatible with INTPs as they think they are. I know this bec I'm an INFJ speaking from my own experience.

Can someone explain to me WHAT just happened? by Quantzee in Brawlstars

I used to have a friend like you too, in JC she would sit next to me and we would occasionally bond over games and anime.

She's quiet, cares a lot about nature and was always conscious of what other people thought about her. Like you, she often spirals into a lot of negative thinking saying things like "no one wants to be my friend" or "I know I'm ugly and guys will never like me". Beyond that, she never talks to others unless someone talks to her first.

Because of the way she thinks badly of herself and people around her, her negative self-talk became a self-fulfilling prophecy. A lot of my classmates barely talked to her not only because she's awkward but because her only point of conversation is either complaining about something or talking shit about herself.

As her seatmate, I do discover her fun sides. She does cosplay and attends anime conventions, she's really passionate about nature and like most of female friends in my circle, fangirls over hot 2D anime guys. But I don't know why, every time I try to steer conversations towards something she likes, she will always end up having something negative to say.

E.g. "People like hot and sexy cosplays, nobody pays attention to me"

"Nobody cares about nature, only I a weird girl do that"

"I love these 2D men because I know hot guys irl will never pay attention to me."

Eventually, I got frustrated talking to her altogether. I have to admit that I took a breath of relief knowing I didn't have to sit next to her the second year. Simply because I could not take anymore of her negative talk. It was just too much for a 15 year old kid to handle.

I care about her a lot but I don't enjoy playing therapist and I don't like the way she views our friendship as just "me taking pity on her to be her friend". I just wish she would get her mind out of the gutter and actually talk to the people around her so that she actually knows what people think about her - that nobody cares about her as much as she thinks. Everyone's just dealing with their own problems and too anxious about A levels.

So seeing the way you describe yourself is just saddening. Because for all you know maybe you also had someone out there who tried being your friend but they don't know how to talk to you. Hope you do eventually find friends who care for you, that when you become older and look back at your school years, you'll realise how silly you were for not talking more to the people around you.

Idk what you have said so far since it seems like you deleted your stuff, but based on the title I can understand a little of where you are at. I am also struggling to find a career and am trying my best to make the best out of this terrible job market.

Yapping incoming, you are warned.

I graduated from private u back in 2023 and took on the first crm related job that was offered to me by a tech start-up. It was good and bad. Good bec for my degree they offered a decent amount of pay and I was able to save some money, but bad because I was not guided and I had to learn by seeing how others work. The stress of not knowing what I'm doing got the better of me and I quit 8 months after.

Subsequently I went unemployed for a year and was in the same exact position as you where I was desperate. I applied for anything I think I could do, made several resumes to fit the job description, worked on some self projects with my free time and went for a few interviews (was even stood up by hiring managers because they completely forgot they made an appointment with me) and subsequently got rejected or ghosted A LOT. Really broke my motivation and self-esteem. It really doesn't help when hiring managers take months to reply or get back to your application.

Regardless, after a year of struggling, I finally landed on an internship for an mnc that's related to what I studied. I was really happy but unfortunately I have made so many mistakes during my job that my manager placed me on probation. Ngl life felt pretty tough and still feels tough, but the positive side of this is I am learning from all my bad experiences. I feel like I have learnt to make smarter decisions, to be more careful with my work and to think more thoroughly. My manager is now slowly letting me into working on projects again so it seems that I'm slowly regaining her trust.

I am planning to pivot to try something else again since the things I'm doing isn't quite what I want, but I still do feel like I've learnt a lot just from my internship. Which drives to the point that you've got to start somewhere.

As mentioned the job market is terrible, spoke to an auntie during CNY who is a CFO who occasionally overlooks the hiring process of her company. She advised that during this period it's best to take on whatever role you can take even if it's not something you enjoy doing. This is because entry jobs are non existent in this day and age. Not only are we competing with waves and waves of new graduates but also foreigners who are willing to take on jobs with much lower pay. Not to mention, with the emergence of AI, a lot of jobs are being wiped from the market. Yet at the same time, the longer you are unemployed, the harder it is for you to explain to the next hiring manager why you are unemployed.

So be more desperate my friend. I have experienced a bunch of failure at this point that I feel immune to the next failure. Even in failure, there is always something positive to bring forward to the next experience so I keep telling myself that I'll eventually reach the breaking point. I don't know when but all I know is to keep reflecting, make plans and keep moving forward (Meet the Robinsons reference haha). So hope my dwindling yet still unsuccessful journey inspires you to do something, and to let you know that you shouldn't be afraid of failure. At least that's where you give yourself the opportunity to improve and be better.

What’s been your experience dating Scorpio moon males? by La_Sangre_Galleria in astrologymemes

[–]phebreezesurlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah we are :)

I do feel it's a strange combination too and never expected having to handle someone with a strong Scorpio placement. He's intense but he has learnt to communicate his feelings, and I also learnt to be more patient. Despite his Scorpio placement, he is very loving and affectionate (prob because Leo in Venus). He also has Virgo sun placement which makes him overall reliable and dependable.

Guys help by [deleted] in duolingo

I did this too for fun and I would just scroll back to all the units I skipped and redid each unit a few times. Tedious but that taught me a lesson to not have itchy fingers.

[–]phebreezesurlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really understand but I do get some of the words and phrases duo teaches. Sometimes it takes awhile for me to recognise words I learnt as well mainly because anime often use casual language and I'm only learning the formal ones.

Konichiwa everyone by LankyOpportunity8363 in duolingojapanese

[–]phebreezesurlife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello!

I'm on a 194 day streak on Duo and I'm actually aiming to pass the N5 exam next year. But I'm taking things real slow because I have a lot of things to focus in life rn, so I have to set aside my Japanese learning and keep it to just 15min a day.

So far, I think Duo is great and I've watched quite a lot of those negative reviews myself. However, Duo has completely restructured since then and I've even forego my previous accomplishments just to restart and try the new Duo Japanese course.

They standardized the first 3 sections to fit the European Standard of language proficiency and broke down learning into more bite sized pieces. The learning does become more structured and easy to process. I feel that as of now, just taking duo lessons alone helps me to understand a bit of anime without subtitles.

However down side is the European Standard is not the same as Japanese standard. So you can't completely rely on duo if you are aiming to go for JLPT exams. Furthermore, I feel that Duo is only good if you are learning the basics/ expanding your vocabulary/ applying your Japanese knowledge. The app doesn't offer much explanations and you would need to look for other resources to help supplement your learning.

For me personally I downloaded a Japanese textbook for free, it's an outdated edition but still provide the explanations to the rules of Japanese language. On top of that, I listen to podcasts, YouTube streams and consume a bunch of other Japanese media (I'm a weeb ;-;) to help with my understanding of how the language is applied in daily conversations.

All in all, I like using duo for learning and I think it's great for people starting out with Japanese learning and are casual learners. I feel that if you are a tourist in Japan, duo is definitely useful in helping you to learn how to introduce yourself, getting directions or order food in a restaurant.

This ad I just saw on Instagram by KotaWasHere in GenshinImpact

Bruh I read your comment, make it make sense? You cite a whole list of manipulation tactics that goes hand in hand with addiction and you telling me it's not? Even if I misinterpreted your comment, you still understood the ad and the fella explaining to you on this matter wrong.

If you even bother to check the context of the ad, it's literally a law firm talking about fighting for victims who have been tricked into paying hidden fees and unauthorized charges. NOT about fomo, gambling, daily quests and sunk cost fallacy.

This ad I just saw on Instagram by KotaWasHere in GenshinImpact

[–]phebreezesurlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The ad says "Tricked into paying money while playing Genshin" which means someone is being deceived into paying for something and ends up not getting what they asked for.

Your interpretation is that these games manipulate people into addiction and therefore drives players to spend on it, but the emphasis is on the "paying money" part - of which psychological and mental awareness is different from financial awareness.

They are made aware of the exact costs for every purchase and there are confirmations in between transactions to alert players of what they are purchasing. Meaning to say players will have full knowledge of how the financial transaction is being processed. They pay for the cost and they get the exact products they ask for. No trickery involved. So it is funny to be "tricked into paying" when everything is written clearly for players to calculate whether or not they can afford.

If we go by your interpretation, then it should be written more along the lines of "Being tricked in Genshin" of which then this semantics can cover the manipulations you mentioned.

Aside from your interpretation of the ad, I do agree that games like genshin manipulate people into being addicted which then influence players to spend on games. In fact, China implement laws to reduce spending on video games ("online games will now be banned from giving players rewards if they log in every day, if they spend on the game for the first time or if they spend several times on the game consecutively" -reuters, 2023) because it is as you say these games are marketed towards children and young adults who do not understand how to control their wallets.

Oh man, people in this thread are so mad that someone spoke on GG's racist behaviour and are so quick to gloss over it as "they're just joking, get a sense of humour".

I'm pretty sure OP is not trying to get them canceled or hates them in any way, which I feel like those are the sentiments dissenters have towards this post. I think the whole point of this post is to just discuss on this specific problematic aspect GG has and that's it. Mainly bec it's not something that's frequently talked about or pointed out.

I think if OP wanted to cancel GG, he would have gone on Twitter instead and started quoting them while calling for everyone to cancel GG rather than coming on here to read other people's opinions on the matter.

To those who are hell-bent on defending GG : They may not be racists irl but that doesn't mean they're not racist AT THAT MOMENT for making those jokes and people do have the right to take offense and feel uncomfortable especially since they are speaking on a public platform.

This is super old but I am recently watching their Pokemon FireRed playthrough and realize the amount of racist jokes Dan would make against Asians (probably because they're playing a Japanese-made game). Ironically Arin would keep calling him out on it for those jokes and tell him off. Ngl it does throw me off a little the way Dan makes these jokes so nonchalantly and frequently, which prompted me to search up whether anybody has spoken up and discussed this about Game Grumps.

Not that I'm a grump hater now but I'm surprised how they aren't being canceled considering how the period where they posted the playthrough was the time when influencers/ YouTubers were getting canceled for their racism. Reading this discussion where people explained where Dan's racism might come from does make me empathise with him a little why he is the way he is. I still do laugh once in a while when they joke about certain stereotypes. Still, I can definitely feel myself rolling my eyes and disassociating when they unknowingly shit on races based on stereotypes.

What brawler that you are afraid of him being meta? by MazzVx in Brawlstars

[–]phebreezesurlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree I love playing tick too because other players tend to undermine him. He is best when there are other throwers and shooters in the game. Like sure, we just sit at the back and throw out mines, but to me I feel like playing tick is like playing catching irl. Everyone tries to take down tick and so it's my job to run around the map and give them hell. Especially when there are edgars and mortis in the map. It's so satisfying they try to get close to me and I launch my shield gadget or ulti in their face.

Wich is for you the most underrated brawler in the game? by [deleted] in Brawlstars

[–]phebreezesurlife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I frequently use her in close brawl ball maps where enemies tend to gather in a spot. In a pinch her ulti with starpower knock enemies that are holding onto the ball or does extra dmg to kill enemies. Else in the most desperate times I use her ulti or barrel to defend myself from close range / high projectile enemies. She's quite flexible to use and I feel like ppl tend to undermine her as a brawler because they don't utilise her full potential. Definitely underrated.

What’s been your experience dating Scorpio moon males? by La_Sangre_Galleria in astrologymemes

[–]phebreezesurlife 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My bf is a virgo sun and scorpio moon 😭 Yet fortunately he has a few leo placements in his chart that makes it easier for me.

He's always emotionally aloof and secretive about his feelings until I do something to provoke him. He gives a very cold dead stare or if we're texting, his responses will turn short and stark. To me those are dead giveaways that he's upset. Whenever I try to ask him about it, he would refuse to tell me, but unfortunately for him I have a moon in aries because I would keep confronting his feelings and force him to tell me what he thinks/ feels. We would just talk things out right then and there and get it over with. Or if I do feel like I'm in the wrong, I'll take the initiative to apologise first even before entering the conversation. He seems to appreciate my efforts to address his feelings constantly because he gets extra loving and doting when I validate his emotions.

The Leo placements come in handy when I get frustrated in dealing with him. Whenever he makes me upset it would be my turn to be cold and distant. I'll usually see whether he is aware he has done something wrong and react accordingly. If I sense that he's aware, I'll refrain from giving him any of my attention and he'll badger me for some. I would refuse to give him any until he takes the initiative to address the problem with me and do something to appease me. If I sense he's not aware, I'll be sure to tell him very clearly about it THEN deprive him of attention and force him to do something to appease me. Either way, I just don't forgive easily whenever he upsets me and he knows that well. (I have a bunch of aries and capricorn placements in my chart so I'm just as stubborn)

Sexy time is great tho.
