    You know what? You're an individual, and that makes people nervous. And it's gonna keep making people nervous for the rest of your life.

    wow? Ok so its not type related (not like i really thought it was with any conviction). Occording to me anyway, this feeling is illogical so i ignore it. I must admit i dont relish the idea of being old but i will do so gracefully im sure. I do have a strong sense that all humans are teetering on the brink of death, it just takes one small occurance and BAM your dead. Ive just accepted that i cant really control that tho and we will see what happens. I dont really have any sense of my own death though, i just hope its later rather than sooner!

    @ Chocolate haha i like your avatar and name its just very cute.

    The same here. I would like to be a crazy granny like my ESFp grandma, if I had a possibility to choice my late years. She drives a car 100km/h, travels a lot, paints pictures and goes to parties with her friends. This prospect is quite optimistic barring age limit.

    Wow. I'm glad I don't have these intuitions. I'm going to be an old person like my ENFp grandmother. I have no idea how old she really is because she's so full of life and she relates really well with us grandkids. (Yeah, if I really wanted to know I'd just look up her b-day somewhere.)

    or it could just be that all SLIs are buddhists.

    seriously, i don't see what's so hard to understand about not wanting to be too attached to a life/world that could end at any moment.

    "attachment is the root of all suffering...."

    there's nothing morbid or anti-Ni about it. it just is.
    whenever the dog and i see each other we both stop where we are. we regard each other with a mixture of sadness and suspicion and then we feign indifference.

    yes, but attachment to this desire is the problem, not the desire itself.
