IEIs/INFps and making money

[crazedrat]

you need to find an SLE to kick you in the butt and make you care.

I'm serious.

That's not a good solution because it relies on another person too much.
I think zombie mode is most peoples answer. I have alot of difficulty dealing with zombie mode... Usually what I do is I find a way to fuck things up so that people come out of zombie mode. But then I have to suffer the consequences of what I just did, and usually that ends with me being fired or getting suspended, or something like that.
There is probably a way to get things out of zombie mode without fucking things up. It probably involves connecting with people on a real level. I will have to experiment with that..

Stop posting on this forum and get a part-time job. Get out in the real world. It's fun. Honestly, Ixxps like you just... half annoy and half confuse the shit out of me.

How can you NOT have motivation? Is there nothing you have a passion about, nothing you enjoy so much you can do it for the rest of your life? For me, it's psychology. I was determined since 10th grade about it and here I am going into 3rd year university as a psych specialist with experience working in a hospital already. Not to boast or anything =P

I actually do find it weird how common it is that people are so scattered and directionless. I think I'm actually an anomaly because of how early on I pinpointed and focused on one thing. So yeah, my advice is really just to find yourself and what you LOVE and then do it. And shut up!!!

No. Good advice. That's what your dual is for. You're not going to do it yourself, are you ? Just do it or get a SLE, those are the only options.

Why don't you try just focusing on having monye and being able to spend it and having more potential to use. It's so much EASIER with more money. You can be slack. You can be careless. Or you can control your money.

Either/or. It just gives more freedom. It's much harder being poor. Once you think of it like that a job is just something to give you money. And you don't have to care about all the little things so much.

Greetins my fellow IEIs. I am poor and have no motivation at all to get a job. Jobs do not interest me. I see nothing to be gained by getting one. I can see myself, in the future, living in a very shitty place if I don't get some motivation. Infact, I was the same way in school - never doing any homework, sleeping through all classes, skipping every class I could. I know some of this is normal, but for me it is an overwhelming urge to slack off. If there is a way not to do work, then I will follow that path. So my question to you IEIs is what do you do to make money? Do you have difficulty caring enough about making money or working? Or are you like me, and would rather be in a coma than go to work.
I think this is related to Te polr and I need to get control of this.. before I am forced to bunk in with an XNFj / ESTj couple and their four neurotic dogs, which will mean despair for the next era of my life.

stryfe is a bitch. one thing to not focus on, is how deadening and unfullfilling most jobs are, when viewed in terms of your personal drives (which I'm guessing wouldn't be... expressed in most jobs), and realize that you still have to live each day, with your freedom contingent on the energy you put forth.

laziness is a bigger issue than Te polr. if you're used to being able to perform fine without effort, a 9-5 job will seem unnecessary, in a way.
