Holy shit, are you ok? When I was 18, after peaking on LSD on a hiking trail, me and my friend started walking back down towards our neighborhood. I only realized that my friend was planning to go home as we were standing outside his parents' house (while still high as fuck btw), and his house was right next to my mom's house. Then as I had that realization, I saw my mom's car pulling out from the garage and driving towards us. Luckily, I had sunglasses on. She scrolled down the window on the passenger side and said "hey, where are you going?" in what I thought was a neutral voice, and I poked my head in (which felt like entering a new dimension) and blurted out "I'm going to my friend's house" (which was a lie, but it just fell out of my mouth), and then I think she said "ok, I'm going to gym, goodbye!" and drove off. It was just a really weird experience, and I wasn't sure if she noticed how zoinked I was, but I felt calm afterwards. Then I looked over at my friend, and he was like "what was that?!", and I think I said "it's fine, she was just going somewhere, and I said I was going to your place". Then my friend went inside his place, and I walked alongside the bushes up to the back garden of my house, and then I stood and contemplated what I should do. I did not want to go inside my house at all in that state, and I was thinking why the heck my friend would want to go home so quickly after the peak. I ended up remembering that we had abandoned a half-finished joint at some point on the hiking trail, and I set myself the mission to go find that joint, and I actually did find it. Finding the joint was a really cool moment, but my mind was also telling me "achievements don't mean anything, it's something your mind makes up", so it didn't feel that good really. Besides, smoking on a comedown when you've already smoked before the peak doesn't really do much. I think I ended up walking to a higher part of the trail and laid down in the grass watching the clouds, feeling kind of uncomfortable and queasy, and I couldn't relax properly. I was like a stiff log.

You don't know the difference between logic and truth?

Technically, Ti doesn't care about what is true, only what is logically valid. You could argue Te is more concerned about truth than Ti. Ti-dominants can get very hung up on running down trees of logic without thinking much about where the trees have their roots. Te-dominants are more concerned about where to plant the tree, often guided by concepts like wisdom (collective or personal), which is not reducible to pure logic, and which skews towards traditionalism. TeFis like to ask things like: "why should you value your own logical conclusions over the rest of humanity?", while TiFes like to say: "I do things my way, and if it works, it works". Then the TeFi asks: "but who decides if it works or not, or how it works? Yourself? Is it all just about logic? Do you not know about self-deception mechanisms, the limits of logic, the power of standing on the shoulders of giants, the durability of tradition, the power of cross-referencing history for perennial truths? etc.) Then the TiFe is like: "meh, these things are also flawed".

And none of them could ever think about speaking for a living?

You were not being a dick. He was being overly emotional.

Sometimes I wish I was a girl lmao. So emotional.

That was actually one of the questions I was uncertain on

4/40. I could've probably gotten a 6 though.

Four separate sources are just all wrong

I just had an interesting insight. If ExFJs are the best teachers, are IxTPs the best learners? Just think about it: what is teaching? An outwards movement of information. What is learning? An inwards movement of information. ExFJs and IxTPs have the same functions, just in the reverse order. So literally, what the one type is best at, the other is best at doing in the reverse. What could be other similar dynamics? ExTJs are the best leaders, while IxFPs are the best followers?

@How to be wise What do you think about people who think Leo is an INTJ? What are they getting wrong? Do you understand how they can come to that conclusion?

ISTJ, the most "direct" type, talking uninterrupted for an hour: Things like speaking time or amount of information provided depends on context. If you've been invited to speak for an hour about yourself, and you accept the invitation, you'll do that regardless of your type. The same logic applies to any format with a rigid structure, like debates. In such cases, it's better to look at "what" the person is saying. Notice how much he uses Si, how linear and precise his storytelling is.

I just recently found a coping mechanism for anxiety about future events. Repeat to yourself in the voice of Zack de la Rocha: "I don't live in tha future!", "I don't LIVE in tha future!", "I, don't LIVE, in tha future!". It actually works ?

and a bit more.

So there are no INTJ teachers or professors?

For those of you who are not enlightened but has had awakening experiences and are aspiring to abide in non-dual awareness, have you ever tried letting go of everything? I mean literally everything — your entire life as a human: your future aspirations, your job, your friends, your family, your kids, your sanity, your desire to belong, to be safe, to survive. Maybe that is what is keeping you back. I know it is for me. If you've already tasted what it's about, what else could be holding you back?

@How to be wise What type is Leo?

I didn't know "directness" was a cognitive function I think your observation is a bit on the vague side. People talk a lot during debates, because you need to respond to the points the other person is making. I think it's more useful to look at what they're talking about, and they're very different in that respect.
