I think you just don't understand Fe, it's more than a people pleasing fear response (which you don't need Fe to do in all cases either). It's a pitfall that Fe valuers can fall into when they're in a poor mental space but it's not what Fe is. Awareness of community values and atunement towards the feelings of others can very much be a gift and is an important part of humanity. Becoming more healthily self focused doesn't switch you from Fe to Te, it's just not how it works.

You sound like you're projecting some stuff onto all INFJs/ Ni doms that might be part of another aspect of yourself.

I don't know about my MBTI atm, but my enneatype is 9w8 sp/so 95(?)
I try to understand everyone, and I am aware that each type has some bad apples and golden nuggets. That being said, INTPs and 5wx's always come off as assholey to me because of their whole "misanthrope" shtick lol
Though I do know some good ones that don't hiss at any semblance of human contact. The majority? Yeah, mostly unpleasant.

>What’s your personality type?
INTJ…
>What’s your zodiac sign?
Scorpio
>What type/sign do u like and dislike the most?
I don’t really care for other scorpios but at the same time I tend to get along with them. I like Pisces, aquarius, and libras.
I feel torn when it comes to Tauruses. From a distance they are great to be around, but most tauruses I’ve become close to become disturbingly evil when they want something from you that they don’t have (when they get jealous) and therefore I am not close with anymore tauruses. I also dislike Cancers because they are too emotional (even though my husband and kids are all cancer, I am working on understanding this part of them and becoming more patient), and Sagittarius because they are either a high key bitch or a low key bitch. Either way, I feel that they are not for your best interest. I do have to respect that they don’t care if they’re a bitch, though.

I will say I don’t believe too strongly in this stuff and don’t care when people do me wrong and I don’t blame it on their sign, but it is interesting to notice the patterns (such as Taurus being really awesome and then becoming really evil). I like to play around with this stuff and learn about it, but at the end of the day I don’t hold that stuff against anyone.

I can't believe that people on crystal dot cafe are trying to convince me that Fe does not belong in the ICD.

>Awareness of community values and atunement towards the feelings of others can very much be a gift and is an important part of humanity.
It's indeed a good thing in certain situations, but know where heightened levels of empathy come from. It's always in an organism's best interest to care for itself first and foremost. Healthy animals sacrifice even their own offspring to save their own asses (look up filial cannibalism). Once you start putting other people's (emotional) wellbeing over your own, you can be assured that your thinking is maladaptive.

>Becoming more healthily self focused doesn't switch you from Fe to Te, it's just not how it works.
Te is not self-focused either as it's also an extraverted function, but only Fe has you self-sacrifice for the benefit of others.

Besides that, MBTI puritans are annoying. It's been proven time and time again that the results are inconsistent, even when taking the professional test not an online one. What it helps is show you where the person roughly is RIGHT NOW. Want to know what sort of questions lead to a high ranking in Fe? The people-pleasing ones. Ones where you answer "I would give up a higher position for myself if I felt like my co-worker needed it more", "I feel uncomfortable rejecting someone or saying no", "I would rather take the blame for an accident to save my friend from getting in trouble". You eliminate your people-pleasing tendencies and you will be answering "No" to all of these questions, ergo not score high in Fe. And what will be waiting for you then? Te.

To bring this back to my original post, I'm convinced INFJ and INTJ are the same type as INTJs are highly empathetic, too, but it's more situational for them, which is healthier. Have you seen how common it is to describe INTJs as "the most feeling thinkers" and INFJs as "the most thinking feelers"? Yes, INTJs are healthier INFJs. If they struggle to gauge other people's emotional state, it means that they haven't ever come into contact with neurotics where they needed to learn how to navigate their internal turmoil before, which Ni would happily help them do anyway. INFJs got gifted that shit when they (very likely) needed to accommodate fPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

some of these traits seem a bit incoherent. like, if you can't take criticism because you think it's a personal attack, then that seems pretty self absorbed in a way that's not conducive to empathy. if they also can't stand up to people then presumably they let vulnerable people get bullied, which doesn't seem very empathetic or reliable either.

a highly useful resource, it's been inactive for a couple years, but still the best blog I know of on this subject. the author is a lesbian, apparently.

Why do you want to worship the Greek gods?

>>9972
Literally no reason. It's a stupid impulse.

>>9983
Might I suggest just try sending love and appreciation towards a creator God? Or at least not the Greek/Roman gods cause they hate women and all stories are of them being assholes. No need for rituals or anything, just take a moment to send a thanks for life and your blessings and then wish for whatever you want from specific to general sending of help or easing of burdens. I find a personal connection is nicer than the rigid rituals of old and just freely asking for things has gotten them for me. Granted I haven't asked for anything too crazy but they happen from me finding a killer new phone deal the day mine broke (phone I wanted that's not even sold in my country), to consistently catching buses when normally I have shit bus luck now that I pray before leaving, and a freak situation happened which saved me from an ex I was too scared to leave making him leave for me while I kept everything after he'd done stuff to ensure I couldn't have rights to my things.
If you're looking to fill your worship hole and get things honestly I feel praying to the Creator is the best option and on the right track cause shit does happen. I got a friend to try and they're experiencing the same wave of good things and wishes granted so it's not just me being crazy from what I can tell. Meanwhile I know I ranted at Zeus and the others as a small child reading the stories and nothing happened so honestly I think they're a dead end spiritually. Plus they're all dicks

I'm sure you can get creative, seeing how these Gods are no longer a coherent religion, but romanticized relics of the past.

An idea would be to look into what other people who worship a certain god/dess do. If you'd like something handy and quick to orient yourself how to honor a god, here's a fantastic blog that has handy cheat sheet guides how to approach every Olympian god and more minor deities. It's got interesting details but is still concise.

Picrel is an example sheet on Artemis from the same blog. Devotional acts are, I assume, the best way to show worship. Fortunately, this doubles as self-improvement in the name of your god or goddess, so you can't lose even if you abandon your interest in Greek deities. May you pick the most suited patron for what's best in your interest. Best of luck anon!

Men create, women maintain. Women are traditionally the most devout and lifelong proclaimers of their religion. This point of view has existed for milennia. Read the Book of Ruth.(YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US)

>>9964
All teachings in the Christian church tradition (circumcision, crucifying the flesh, patience and love for the young) are taught to keep risk-taking and impulsive masculine vocation from reigning supreme– The time wherein the Antichrist will Arise. Paul's hermeneutics on women are the inverse of this, and teach women how to be faithful maintainers & wives in their Earthly dwelling.

25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

The Church is made for Man, not Man for the church. The Church maintains Man. The Church is a woman. Christ is her bridegroom.

>I don't know if I am justified in saying this, and it might sound a bit goofy, but I think that males are spiritually constipated, if not incapable of it altogether.

I think this sounds entirely plausible to me. Could you elaborate on what you mean by spiritually constipated? I often see an almost irrational, faith-based reluctance to engage seriously in spiritual pursuits (and by that I don't mean mechanistic religious rituals but stuff like meditation, for instance). They also seem to lack a kind of sensitivity to the sorts of experiences that spark curiosity and commitment to these pursuits in the first place - like I've never met a man who took a serious interest in just walking in nature or appreciating beauty for its own sake. I wonder to what extent they spend their time absorbed in their own delusional thoughts, rather than paying attention to the world, relative to women.

>>9977
I'd interpret to mean someone who's spirituality is only a tradition, just repeating whatever authoritative figures tell them to believe without any personal, subjective input.

Moids can feel everything we do, they just aren't likely to express feelings verbally

not to play devils advocate too much, but those barn stars are very common in texas. If they were different colors like the link said it would be a different story, but pretty much everyone keeps one (or more) of these as yard and house decor. the house on the bottom right with the star inverted is definitely abnormal.
The aquarium thing is very scary though. TX is a bit of a hotbed for human trafficking.

>>9433
Holy crap, could they be secret locations for human trafficking or Illuminati hideouts?

>>9591
It's human trafficking shit for sure.

I dunno nona, maybe your ~soul~ wanted you to have a complex personality and a rich backstory at the cost of your mental health

I have normal parents but have dated people with alcoholic bpd parents before and let me tell you - they choose those parents over themselves, over their partners, and over their futures, over and over again. Some people just respond better to being treated like shit

>>9874
It's called conditioning from being abused yeah. Some people do break out of it.

Late response but quitting soda and juice and chewing gum instead of bored snacking is helpful

Hmm maybe, sometimes I just have this full of myself approach when I look in the mirror I see a goddess and when I hear my voice it sounds like music to my ears

You've got fantastic reading comprehension.

Does tulpas just start talking back after you think about them or is there something more you need to do? I have a vivid imagination and i need a hot tulpa bf
