[Type 5] Shit 5s say

[Apostolos]

During a heated debate about Catholicism:

Me (paraphrased slightly): If you're Catholic, you don't have to believe everything the Pope says. You don't have to believe that his word is the direct word of God. There's a lot of gray area -- and a lot of my Catholic friends fill that gray area.

INTP 5w6 dad (paraphrased slightly): That's irrational. Being Catholic requires that you believe that the Pope's word is the direct word of God. Therefore, if you're Catholic, then you believe that, and if you say you're Catholic and you don't believe that, then you aren't Catholic.

(I gave up right about then. )

It's clear that he was right though. Can a Muslim participate in an "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day"?

To all the Muslims out there: Please explain to me why your religion prevents showing a pictorial image of Muhammad? This is not meant to be an offensive post at all, it is simply for means of education.

My mom (INFJ 1w2/2w1) was reading an article out loud to me, that was all about universal brotherhood and how the only way towards happiness is to lovingly work towards "helping the human family" -- and my INTP 5w6 dad (mentioned earlier in the thread) walks into the room holding this plastic package and goes "Yeah, right!"

Then my mom looks at him and they both laugh and my mom says "Who asked you?? What are you doing in here anyway?!" And I tease him a bit, too, while asking him what the package he's holding is. And then he proceeds to say this, pretending to be indignant and offended:

"Look. I'm about to send my old phone and charger out to help domestic violence victims and survivors. I don't know them, and I don't love them, and I'm doing this anyway! Okay??"

The epitome of 5-ish charitable giving

" Look all the fuc.ks that I give..."

When someone I care about travels by plane, instead of phoning/texting to ask how was the trip, I usually just confirm the absence of news about plane crashes.

I was watching TV and noticed that the image on my aunts stupidly big HD tv was fuzzy. Checked the corner logo and it was clear. Apparently whoever made the commercial did a bad job with the files. Anyways this whole process took about a second to recognize and I was so upset by it I blurted out a comment about it..... In the style of Yoda.

"Pixelated! That image is!"



Also, no one cared

 

[Pseudo]

Oh a really good one! My friends, Gil and Kara, were eating lunch with me. Kara starts reading a list of most extravagant "make a wish foundation wishes".

Kara: "one boy, suffering from brain tumors, rather than a trip to disney world or a baseball feild in his back yard, requested a get well card from everyone on the planet"

Gil: "well that's just the tumors talking".

After further discussion

Gil:" I'd like to know what his feelings about the cards are. Perhaps he's making a grand statement about the emptiness of the gesture."

Absolutely. I have said things like, "what does it matter if I feel bad for them as long as I help?"

"Why would I need, or even want, to leave my house if I have internet and food?"

 

[Glycerine]

When someone says, "I love you", my automatic response tends be, "cool, thanks...", mostly joking of course.

Me: I am going to listen.
INFP: Is it your emo music?
INFJ: I am surprised. You have emotions?
Me: uhh... yes?

 

[deathwarmedup]

on breaking up:

"Sorry it didn't work out for you"

Had this conversation with my grandmother today about my cousin having twin daughters. She's most likely an ESFJ 2w3 so/sp.

Grannie: Have you seen the twins?
Me: No
Grannie: No??!! You didn't get invited? ??!!
Me: They're just children.
Grannie: But you don't want to see them???!!
Me: There's no hurry. They will still be there.

The fact that I don't care much does not compute.

Also on a side note, but this is a good example of what shit 2s say when they fail to filter their mouth:
Grandmother: You should get rid of your cats so you can see me more often. Thank you grandma for clearly not giving two shits about the two things I arguably care the most about in the world.

"I believe nothing without reason."

Good one. In my case, change that to "I do nothing without reason."

 

[madhatter]

[MENTION=15607]The Great One[/MENTION] I have often said that I'm a realist, not a pessimist or an optimist. I wonder if a 5w6 is more likely to say that.

Another one (jokingly): I'm not a racist/sexist/whatever, I hate everyone equally.

Another one I stole from my 8 dad: Go tell your troubles to a twinkie. (this one to be usually used for excessive whining)

A conversation I had with my own grandmother recently (also ESFJ, Enneagram superego type of some kind):

Grandma: Your mom should have done [insert some irrelevant past tense financial advice]!
Me: Grandma, I'm not interested in the "shoulds". That's like crying over spilt milk. I'm only interested in the present.
Grandma (a little stunned): Yes, you're right.
(I'm actually surprised that she agreed with me.)

[MENTION=16013]madhatter[/MENTION] I always prefer realist over pessimist too. I said this a lot when I was younger.

There goes that theory. That's good. I was once told by someone at PerC that I couldn't be a 5, because I was too practical. And I was thinking, 5s can't be practical?
