    Default Shridhar Chillal, world record for the longest fingernails



    He hasn't cut the fingernails in his left hand for 50 years.

    Type? Socionics and enneagram?

    gross. i want to vomit.
    why do they change texture like that?
    umm i'm not sure why, but I could see an INTP having a sort of morbid fascination with something like that. plus, it's not very social and not practical, so that rules out some other types IMO.

    Probably something to do with exposure of keratin (the protein that is the main component of fingernails) to air, sunlight, etc over the years, but I'm not sure.

    Personally I'm wondering why the nails are so thick.

    Yuck, he's so gross.

    Easy answer is "Si devaluing"
    He likes "fame",
    Which made me think beta NF at first, but maybe just Se>Si

    Just out of "habit' perhaps I'll say beta NF.
    I don't particularly see an INTp being so into something like that nor wanting a spotlight because of it, but he could just be so messed up, I don't know.

    Apparently feels like his fingernails are his gift to the world - "whoop-dee-doo"

    Seriously gross.


    On the other hand, if he grew up in a really poor place, it could be his means for getting some cash and bettering his life. So, I don't really know enough about him - I don't know the motivations for his decisions.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    Wow, i can't believe this is real. It looks so fake. How in the world did he get his nails to grow that long? I have no idea what his type is, but it seems to me that he is probably somewhat mentally disturbed.

    You're being too judgmental. It's eccentric as hell, weird, and maybe even a little creepy. But it doesn't mean he's mentally disturbed. Even somewhat. He seems calm and well-spoken in social situations for somebody that has to avoid crowds and people.

    He's just trying to be unique and it's transparent and annoying.

    The fact that you think he is Te subtype of anything is laughable imo.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    It think the man is a genius. He could be ISTP-Te.... though I honestly couldn't watch the video for more that a few seconds. It was really grossing me out :/

    Okay, well you're right that it is probably judgmental to say that he is mentally disturbed. I don't know this person at all and so I should not pass judgments like that. However, it's also pretty judgmental to say that he is eccentric as hell, weird, and creepy. I'm not sure how you can attack me for being judgmental and then say something like that in the next sentence.

    It's real -- he's been around for decades.

    He just did not cut them and took care that they did not break (I guess they must also be unusually strong since many people's nails would naturally break way before that).

    I think that's too harsh and I agree with B&D on that.

    Ugh, I saw the still and couldn't watch the video. That's seriously...revolting.

    ETA: I can handle the abstract grotesque, but I have this really bizarre reaction to physical things that disgust me, particularly people. It's not about ugliness - it more a sense of uncleanness or physical distortion and mutation - something wrong physiologically. It makes me really uncomfortable but at the same time I feel really bad for the person for some bizarre empathic reason, as though I can imagine myself in their physical state and it makes me really physically sick. I become quite helpless in a sense because I become almost paralysed, like there is nothing to be done about the horrible state of the world. So my only way of dealing with it is just to pretend that these things which repulse me so severely don't actually exist. And to hang out with clean, healthy people.

    I remember once on a bus this very obese homeless man who was moulting and stunk of sewage came and sat next to me and I absolutely couldn't breathe and I was so completely miserable, but I didn't want to change seats because I didn't want to (this is going to sound quite stupid) hurt his feelings, because I don't think I could handle it very well if someone found me physically repulsive. So I got off the bus and had to wait for another one and was late to a meeting at Uni.

    Wow unefille, that's quiet a precarious position you're holding there.

    Wow! This guy is committed - I could never stick to something for that long.

    My only curiosity is how in the world they became that thick....
