The Thread of CONTRAVERSY
The goal of this thread is to situate a particular area of the universe where all of you state your type and why you think you are this specific type. Generalizations are welcome. If you waffle between two or more types, talk about why you do. Explicate it in as much detail as you see fit. Ideally, I think everybody should be able to include their actual type in whatever options are available. Teh point is to expand the options to as vague a level as you can reasonably justify, then proceed to hone in where you think you lie. For example, I think I'm some kind of IxFx (but not ISFj)/Ne-Si introvert. I won't post my reasoning just yet since I'm very very drunk, but I just wanted to say that I'd like this thread to start with everyone making a case insofar as they feel comfortable and with no objections or naysaying until the individual thinks they've made about as may points as they can in their favor. I don't really expect anyone to post here, but I thought I'd make the thread since it crossed my mind and I've been drinking very very much.

). Ideally, I'm trying to find some kind of work that I enjoy that pays well enough to do stuff I enjoy in my free time. If I like what I'm doing I can put a lot of effort into it, otherwise I tend to half ass it and feel a need to move on. Where I'm at right now, I'm wanting to get into the healthcare field since I like learning new things, enjoy helping others feel better, and because, well, people around me keep telling me I'd be good at it.
about like I wish I could think of more interesting stuff to talk about but instead I wind up discussing the weather or how hard work is, etc. Oh, I'm also way into dreams. I mean, most people I talk to tell me they never remember theirs, so it makes me feel kind of special that I remember mine almost every night. And they're SO WEIRD. It's like my personal outlet for crazy adventures: like when those killer whales destroyed that mall out on a pier and I had to swim and dodge them to get back to safety, or I'm explaining to people in my dreams how you know you're dreaming (look at a clock, look away, look back, if it's a different time, pinch yourself, if that doesn't hurt, slap the shit out of yourself, then fly away). Sometimes they're as simple and breathtaking as feeling in love again. Sometimes I sleep just to dream that dream one more time.
) or worse when they seem to contradict those beliefs whenever it suits them. Double standards make me want to pull my hair out. Why can't people just make sense?! Whenever I find myself doing that same thing, I always feel dumb and ashamed and it wasn't until I got into philosophy in college that I really felt like I'd found a system that helped me figure out when, where, and how to avoid doing that. I was always better at analyzing other people's thoughts then I was coming up with a systematic way of doing so.
The kind of person I think helps me most is someone that doesn't overthink things the way I do, that acts without reserve, engages the world with a quirky sense of humor, and just has that persistent sense of going out to meet everything that pulls me out of my occasional shell. I'm a creature of habit. I'll keep doing pretty much the same thing everyday until it stops being fun, then it starts to drive me crazy. Then I just want to break the rut but I have a hard time figuring out what else I can do. I get restless and I try to tie myself to someone else's sails. At heart, I'm mostly a follower. Sure, I'm fully capable of leading, for a time, in my own way, but it's more natural to drift on the wind and see what comes.
And thank you
