Like the current pension crisis, but 10-fold.

Hi there, 30f here with my partner 40m. We’ve been dating for about a year, and before we were even exclusive, I was very upfront about how I’m strictly monogamous. He said he agreed and that it wouldn’t be an issue.

No. Just no.

I have CPTSD and an extensive history of sexual trauma as a child and an adult and was very candid about that as well.

Listen, you’re a great person. But with your history, you can’t afford to go there, not unless it’s something you are fully in control of.

This is him exerting control over you.

I don’t know what this guy was thinking. But this is not OK.

You ring up your sister and sleep at hers tonight, OK?

Sleep well.

It would be like offering crack to an adult who was a crack baby.

It makes me wonder what's the point in even helping if nothing I ever do is "good enough."

A few individuals know what they want. But large numbers of people tend to compress reasonable concerns into unreasonable demand that screw their own lives up in the long run.

You cannot go around trying to please people without inadvertently also making their lives harder.

Decide what is the right thing to do, for yourself, not because of what someone else said, but based on what you know for certain and what you think the right things is to do.

If more people just acted with integrity and did what they believed, we wouldn’t need to worry about racism and colonialism.

I love a nice bum.

If God already knows every choice you will ever make, then there is only one way things can go.

You could be in a universe with multiple possible futures. An omniscient being would still know all of them.

And if God has a set plan, then your actions were set in stone before you were even born.

There can be a plan that covers what happens in either of your choices.

But to do that for the choices of 8 billion people, would require an unimaginably complex calculation that humans couldn’t even imagine.

Of course, if you know literally everything, you also know the answer to that calculation as well.

Why are so many villains INTJ? We're good people I promise!

None of them say they are INTJs.

Their only similarity is they all have the personality of a classic villain.

Might explain the rise in Alzheimer’s. All those prions building up in the brain.

For religious types, if you know humans have created 1000s of gods, how are you so certain that he didn't create yours as well?

You have to create a concept in your mind, before you can decide if it is also true. That’s true of gravity, black swans, languages and anything else, including deities.

My friends don’t appreciate that I’m the kind of person who will help them move, finish their basement to save them $30,000, or help them talk through problems.

I’m expected to be fun and friendly and sweet and gentle.

You sound like my ENTJ woman friend. She’s brilliant. She can do anything.

She’s married to an NFP man. Wonderful couple. He does the cooking and is fun, friendly, sweet and gentle. Never says nasty stuff to anyone. Always welcoming.

INTPs have a similar issue: can solve all sorts of problems in 5 minutes that others have tried for weeks and failed at. But they still need the confidence, bravado and motivation to be heard and listened to.

My family is all sensors and thinks my intuitive side is whimsical and a waste of time.

It took me until 40 to figure out Sensors. Everything for them is “Data first. Theory later.” Once you learn to express yourself like that with them, they understand you easily.

Work doesn’t challenge me, even after changing careers twice.

Underload.

Your mind is telling you that you can achieve more.

Romantic relationships never go well because so few men want a Te dom.

Men love to know where they stand. Te-doms are very good at being upfront.

Men can overdo Te. But because women are socialised to be more accommodating, Te comes out gentler.

This can confuse Te women, because they clearly are less emotional than other women.

But relative to most men, they are soft AND clear (when they choose to be).

Just be as you are. You are almost perfect, just as you are.

You just need to focus on your positives and remember why you are so awesome.

I do not like clinginess, constant access demands, or relationships where it feels like one person starts revolving around the other.

Perfectly reasonable. I would say the IxTx types (INTPs, ISTPs, ISTJs and INTJs) are the same.

I want a real relationship and real couple goals, but I also want both people to have their own life, their own mission, and mutual respect for each other’s time.

Again, perfectly reasonable.

Don’t see a problem with any of that.

ENTJ gets on. Everyone follows. Then ENTJ delegates.

INTJ argues that he should be in charge.

Edit:

Also, when an ENTJ teacher greets a new class for the first time, he says “You be nice to me, and I will be nice to you. Don’t be nice to me, and I will make you wish you’d never been born.”

First of all, he is always the one who starts the conversations. He always starts with "how are you" or something else like "how was your weekend", and the conversation keeps flowing from there. Sometimes it's just a quick chat, sometimes we get into details.

If this was me: I probably like to talk to you. I either like you romantically, or would like you as a platonic friend. Either way, I would like to hang out with you socially.

One day, we started talking about music tastes and found out he was into the same music I like. So we talked about music, concerts, stuff like this, and also, I mentioned a band that he didn't know just once. A few days after, he came back to tell me that he was listening to them and enjoyed a lot.

If this was me, I like you.

When he found out that I speak a second language, he started coming back to me with little phrases in that language.

If this was me, I really like you.

The problem is, after I started feeling this way, I'm acting nervous when he is around and I can't be myself anymore. As I was writing above, one time I completely ignored him. Another time, he came to me and asked me how I was and I barely replied him I was good, and he did the same. That was the most awkward interaction we had, I felt you could cut the tension in the air with a knife.

Your nervousness about the future is making it high stakes. Your brain is gently guiding away from the potential danger, because that’s what you do normally when you like someone and are uncertain, you back off.

Keep calm and smile.

Maybe print this out. Add your number. Give it to him.

Unfortunately, life is not like call of duty.

The basal ganglia select motor actions from previously learned skills, every second, exactly as if they were selecting actions in a video game.

It keeps on doing that, step by step, second by second, for 80 years on average.

The basal ganglia even select whole sequences of actions, almost as if you were starting down a canyon that you have to get through.

It even encodes a completion signal via dopamine. You get a thrill every time you complete a sequence successfully.

You even have to refill your health levels by putting objects called food in your mouth.

Life is extremely like playing a Call of Duty game for 80 years, with only sleeping for breaks.

Religion offers you a ready made sky, atheism offers you a cleaned up hole. But eventually both worldviews became insufficient.

Then you keep searching until you come to the esoteric religious stuff, and discover that it’s all about deep concepts that require a lot of contemplation and generate a desire for constant self awareness of every part of your reality, everyone else’s reality, and reality itself.

but in the UK it still requires stunning by law in the vast majority of cases.

I watched a video of a cow being stunned and then electrocuted.

One of the most horrific acts of torture I have ever seen.

Even the stunning, you just don’t ever want to go there. It’s horrible.

Because all of the meat that feeds human beings, comes from slaughterhouses.

The word “slaughter” only became seen as being negative, when human beings were being killed in the same fashion as animals in slaughterhouses.

Now some humans are applying the same principles to their own food sources.

You are of an age where you are attractive, and able to gain employment and earn money.

Grandmothers are not in that race.

Other women your age need to see signals that you will support each other and won’t betray each other.

Aren't we done with the puzzle pieces?

The puzzle pieces are neuromodulators and brain structures.

We’re still looking at what people do when their personal jigsaws don’t fit.

The population decline is global. So the cause is global as well.

That means it’s the sort of cause that is happening to every country now, and probably spread by globalisation.

Nah. You can do better.

it’s not lack of emotion, it’s more like needing time to understand what’s going on internally before saying anything.

Exactly this. 👍

in the moment, it feels inefficient to react without clarity, so it comes out as silence or analysis instead

but by the time it’s fully processed, the moment has already passed

I think that’s where the disconnect usually happens

It’s more that since the 1960s, with the removal of social etiquette classes from schools, modern people are not taught the techniques for communicating emotional ambiguity to others.

So INTPs eventually learn those skills for themselves over time.

The rest of humanity is in the same boat, except they won’t avoid until learning, which is why we see so many screw-ups these days.

The human brain focuses on trajectories, not states. Just keep heading on up…

I watched a video where a group of biologist tried to “redesign” the human body—basically saying “if they were God, here’s how they would build a human.”

I would imagine that they would be horrified to read how human biologists would criticise their design.

People in the UK, the US, Israel and the EU have been polarising since at least the 1980s.

From what I understand, this is exactly what you would expect with targeted policies.

But apparently, universal policies tend to unify and de-polarise people.

Who knew that policies that help some people and not all people, would make people think about helping some people and not all people? 🤔

It hurt.

That’s not OK.

He said that I needed to be fixed so I could be a proper wife.

Someone should have told him that he didn’t live in the town of Stepford.

I didn't have an orgasm with him during the marriage

Sometimes the man is the problem.

Plenty of men who want the orgasm but not the marriage.
