Oh my gosh - she is like a different person. Maybe Aubrey is now seeking the energy Vylana used to embody, in the new bird, and he isn't self aware enough to recognize it? These 2 girls are total babes, it's quite distracting. Aubrey doesn't do anything for me

We use the boxing gloves here now, rather than the brass knuckles?

Ah! I would say I am quite different in real life. Definitely an introvert. I will try to illustrate what comes naturally, if you would like to give me your insight. Beware this is going to be a somewhat unstructured stream of consciousness. I have always been heavy with Ni use. I am familiar with the dreaded Ni-Ti loop, which I have much difficultly with. I have a lot of thought recursion I have become aware of since establishing a serious meditation practice. To break these Ni-Ti loops I typically do something physical (movement, music, food etc) or seek contact with people. These 2 things ground me out of the loop. It is really seeking a change of state. Many times I do not know what is good for me, thinking I can brutally think my way out of bad emotions or problems. At baseline I thrive, and I am energized most, with intellectual conversation. I don't care about being correct, but I love hashing out ideas and theories. Theory and concepts, abstraction. Pattern recognition comes naturally to me. I love to collect information & facts over the long term to build a system I can use to understand other systems. I do this so I can expand my own understanding. I am consistently taken aback when others are unable to see the patterns in their lives they repeat. It might also help to know I skipped 2 grades in mathematics and was placed in accelerated learning classes in school. I will immediately look for the meaning behind any situation or concept. It took me a very, very long time to establish habits round looking after myself. I neglected the quotidian elements of life and was stuck up my own arse in fantasy and sci-fi during my formative years. I am terrible at birthdays, traditions. Bad at making people feel welcome and looking after others in a nurturing way. All learned traits. I really like harmony in my relationships - it grinds my gears when others show no compassion or invalidate others. Having said that, I do often disregard others feelings when I am delivering knowledge I think they need to grow. I have been told I can be harsh by being too candid. But I do observe others intensely and try to tailor my advice to how I think they will best receive it. My overall driving aim in life is to help others around me grow by looking at patterns they loop through. I am also intensely creative and artistic. Dance, painting, drawing etc. I am future oriented. I do not dwell on the past. I do not tend toward nostalgia. Its either now or next. I look at the past as a way to see into the future, to extract the pattern. I am not the sort to typically regret or beat myself up regarding mistakes. I just don't ever think about the past at all, come to think on it. In terms of emotions and how I feel to about people, myself and situations - I struggle to know what is going on internally in that realm a lot. Often, I won't really be aware of how I feel about something until well after the event itself. I need to stop and assess what is going on internally to understand it. Does this help? It is interesting to note I may be defaulting to INFJ on tests due to conditioning society places on the sexes. Also - yes I work in construction, in a variety of roles (estimating, contract administration, but mostly project management). I like the moving, multivariable system.

This is purely from my anecdotal experience - but the man that I was in a poly relationship with maintained a lot of desire and sexual chemistry with the women by engaging their emotions continually. In a positive way, considerate, passionate and thoroughly engaged + attentive. No negativity or manipulation. To my experience, many men aren't so open to engaging emotions for a prolonged and deep period. Emotions tend to be something that remains hidden, like a vast ocean belied by a calm surface. Often, they come out to smack one in the face in a moment of insight. Operating in the background only to be revealed in a moment of vulnerability. Being emotionally open is often a weakness, or can be seen as such, in terms of survival. This is just in general, as there are many outliers. Women on the other hand? Speaking for myself, I am a basket case

You have a good understanding of the cognitive functions - respect! This test gave me INTJ - normally I type INFJ I can only think I might be answering in a non-authentic way, since I have been scheduling & planning 2 large construction projects all day

Shit someone delete that juju - the website went mental and posted a link that told me it failed to embed. Ghost in the machine

Does your client value time over money? If it were me, I would bill the client the same. I would take is as a learning process to reassess my own efficiency for future work. Your value has increased as a contractor

Would need good, concrete clear resources and definitions of the Jungian cognitive functions to start with. MBTI is like the surface of the iceberg - the juicy guts (cognitive functions) are under the waters surface 🧩

Get outta here you big Fe ENFJ harmony driven feel good bastard! 😜❤️

The emotional labour the guy needs to be ready for - I couldn't. I have no idea how some men have the capacity for it. Some men are wired that way though. My ex being one. If the women can seperate emotional needs from carnal ones it is much easier. But typically for women the 2 are interlocked.

Backing up that anyone very interested in MBTI should look at the cognitive functions that the system is based on. The framework isn't I vs E, N vs S etc. it is based on the functions behind each type. INFJ vs INTJ has totally different functions, and is very difficult to get mixed up. The online tests aren't so accurate. You are better off looking at and researching each function (Ne, Ni, Ti, Fi etc) and deducing which you naturally use. One description will jump out to you. Some will sound bonkers. MBTI is a simplified version of the functions. Online tests for myself often reveal INTP, but I think the official ones (I have taken, paid) revealing INFJ and the function descriptions are more accurate.

Many of us always here to listen <3 There is a reason for your choice of username !!! -
You can see there is taste, balance, rule of thirds, perspective and complimentary colour used in Leos artistic direction. Style is timeless, typical youtube click shit is just a trend. When all that shit falls by the wayside, real art remains

I agree - we test each others boundaries all the time to learn more about each other. People need to take responsibility when they are pushed too far and speak up. Those that don't often have unhealed trauma causing boundary issues. A compassionate and empathetic individual will usually get a sense for when they have pushed things too far. But in the end, only we can advocate for ourselves. Onus is on us to say no when needed.

I think the misunderstanding here lies in understanding of what a personal boundary is, and the function is serves. I think what you touch on in the above is a challenge, as opposed to a boundary. TBH most people don't understand the difference, and I continually meet others in personal and professional environments who cannot differentiate. It is quite nuanced. Boundaries protect your core self (protects emotional, physical, emotional wellbeing, maintain autonomy/self-respect & clarify what is acceptable and what's not). Personal boundaries are the limits and rules you would set for yourself within relationships, behaviors & environments. What you are comfortable with & your expectations of others treatment of you. Challenges stretch your capacity to grow, and function as a tool to discover your boundaries. Think promoting personal development, stretch limits in a healthy way. Challenges also build confidence, competence & insight. They push you out of your comfort zone, testing skills, ideas, beliefs and resilience in pursuit of growth/achievement or deeper understanding. Boundaries would be the hard walls of your house - plaster, studs, frame, roof - you don't fuck with this part of the house. A challenge would be opening a window to let cold air in - you might not like the environmental change, but it lets you breathe, expand, grow. But you can close the window. They absolutely overlap. EG: Someone wants help during your rest time: Boundary - 'I can help tomorrow, but I need to rest this evening'. Challenge - Saying no despite guilt & fear of disappointing. Giving a speech: Boundary - 'I'm good with public speaking, but no filming'. Challenge - Confronting stage fright Big job offer: Boundary - 'I need fair pay & good hours'. Challenge - Taking on responsibility feels intimidating When its balanced and boundaries aren't being steamrolled, you will feel empowered, but not exploited. Uncomfortable, but not unsafe. Challenged, but not coerced. Someone pushing or trying to erase boundaries will feel like it disrespects autonomy & causes resentment. Destabilizes the relationship, confuses accountability & undermines self worth. Your boundaries define you & what you will tolerate. "Your needs don't matter as much as mine." is what is communicated when boundaries are disrespected. Setting boundaries, when done right, will strengthen connection. This is why it is so important to do the work of actualization. To know thyself. Insight, growth, experience. Challenges reveal boundaries. This is why it is on the individual to assert them. Just sad so many people don't know themselves.

You said it man - this is at the root of it. I think I raised this initially also, but users wanted to entertain discourse 😊

Maybe not worse. But constricted within the same issue as the previous incarnation. It is purely a personal belief. I've had some experiences that strongly lead me to believe this. DMT entities, and odd happenings. Repeated events. Entities. Happened over time definitely. I always believed I was here to learn and to love, so it seemed a natural deduction following all the strange happenings. As I have progressed through life, it has been affirmed to me that if you don't learn the lesson in the pattern, you repeat it. Many painful beliefs have been destroyed within me that were linked to these patterns. Each time one deception falls away, more truth is revealed. Just so happens my truth at this time is revealed to be reincarnation as a thing 😜 -
There are 2 groups of perspective being argued here, and getting mixed up. 1) Those not in a relationship and participating in the attraction phase. 2) Those within a relationship and the frame being honouring each other in wholeness. These 2 frames aren't made clear so it's all a big mess!

It's genuinely no loss to me to admit I was wrong 🙏 Thank you for not denigrating me ! -

I respect this answer. There are grey areas IE terminal health cases. And more. I just don't want anyone to take things like 'go die and find out' the wrong way 💜🙏💜 I went into protecc mode without thinking there -
I read it as snarky sarcasm that wasn't constructive tbh, but tone is fucked through text.

Hard disagree with this and your post above. Suicide is never the answer. 1) there is always a solution, it's you're frame and perspective that is limited 2) pain and suffering are just part of this existence I've had a hard enough life to seriously entertain suicide. Things changed. You just don't know what life has coming. -
Fillers, Botox, chemical peels I mean I had trouble reading the bodylanguage & facial expressions of the trio in the initial podcast. The women have frozen faces. The work done on them is excellent. You can see it when their eye expressions are super wide and open - that's when unaltered humans typically are raising their eyebrows. But their eyebrows barely move.... 💀💀💀 It's like the sequence of human expression is broken when people are altered. No judgement here - they can insert prosthetic horns for all I care
