I am not denying anything. I am simply stating that there is an overabundance of negative circle jerking in today's society; everybody is a "victim."

It's sickening, and infuriating when you consider how trivial most people's problems truly are.



"Whiners" in my opinion are a very broad group of "individuals," some of whom truly whine and wallow in self-pity, and others who engage in self-destructive behaviors in order to console themselves, but in actuality only want attention.

From personal observation, I have found that most Fs have truly invalid and ridiculous complaints, all due to their perception of the world. Everything to them is personal, and criticism therefore comes as a personal affront. This is an unhealthy and quite frankly childish basis to rest one's world views upon.

Also, it doesn't surprise me that INFJs and INFPs are the "happiest" on this forum, considering that most of their opinions are fleeting and their attachment to lasting logical conclusions fickle. These are some of the most careless people I know when it comes to developing practical, realistic solutions to world problems. Living in some self-delusional fantasy world and yet having the nerve to complain about the real world would not place them in a positive light in my eyes.
...

I see, it's what you have observed. I can't comment on that then because I don't know any NFs personally.

Any INTJ who disagrees with me must be an impure type, with a significant F value.

If this is anything more than a test to see my reaction to this and use any perceived negative reaction to strengthen your argument, then it's completely ridiculous. God forbid an INTJ actually consider someone else once in a while, less they be accused of being 'impure'. I hope it's okay if I'm a little Jewish as well. Come on man :newwink:

Of course, you can tell me I'm not an INTJ all you want, but I'm going to ignore it from now on unless you have a convincing reason for why I might be an F; and given that I have wasted countless hours of my free-time analyzing the hell out of 16 type theory and my own cognitive abilities and perceptions to others around me, it will take a lot of irrefutable reasoning to do that. So it takes a lot more than circular logic and simple highly-suggestive one-liners.

i dunno what are you talking about i'm born speaking croatian and when I want to torture myself I speak English on forums!!

'Course you don't know what I am talking about mate. That's why we have so many lovely Croatian migrants - to teach them to speak Strine.

That's why I use circular logic and suggestive one liners - to seduce you into Strine.

We are all mates here and Strine is the language of mateship.

And just as the Inuit have twenty words for snow, we have twenty different meaning for mate.

And this is only natural for we have no snow but twenty-one million mates. And there is plenty of room for you.

Not an F, but a significant F value - large difference.

The reason is because your response seems to be reactionary from an emotional position rather than an objective critique of my comment, attempting to find a more conciliatory approach to the matter, which strikes me as an F characteristic.

True INTJs tend to remain emotionally distant, or at the very least, do not bother considering the irrelevant emotional responses of other people in an argument unless it serves some purpose.

In a similar regard, you also strike me more like a P, because they tend to reject the immediate value of a logical argument in favor of alternative possibilities, regardless of whether or not any alternative possibilities are feasible or necessary.

I consider "pure" INTJs to be those who score above 85 in each of their functions, the others having diluting elements that make them notably different than the purer type.

Yeah the SPs are particularly jovial.

I'm very happy, as far as that relates to my "type" hmmm...

My I is happy because my work doesn't involve large amounts of taxing socialising and I have access to quiet spaces at home.

My S is happy because I live in a beautiful country that is rich in possible experiences.

My F is happy because I have a lovely wife and child and a supportive family.

My P is happy because I don't know many authoritarians.

The problem with this poll is that it's relative to the mood of the person. Oh, and the "SP" and the "SJ" as said by person down.

Within certain parameters, happiness is a choice and a habit. When your life is concretely sucky of course it's going to effect how you feel, but having as good an attitude as possible and looking for positive, practical solutions can reduce feelings of helplessness and despair. And like Victor said, trying to help others -- it can get your mind off yourself and that is often a good thing.

I'm somewhat pessimistic and cynical, and yet feel pretty satisfied with my life right now. We are more financially stable and comfortable than we have ever been. My husband and I are getting along well, the kids are fairly well-behaved, doing well in school and becoming more and more self-sufficient. My relationship with both of my parents and my siblings is fairly positive. I've got entertaining stuff to do and a reasonable amount of time alone in which to recharge. Frankly, if I was unhappy, it'd be my own damn fault.

Now I can always find something to moan and rant about, but that's one of the ways I entertain myself.

Yeap the maximum number of options is 20. However since we have so little S people here I have decided that this is probably the best way to arrange the poll with 20 options.

The Constitution and the Pursuit of Happiness

Just as school is compulsory, so the pursuit of happiness is compulsory.

And whole industries have sprung up to service the pursuit of happiness.

There is the self help industry, there is the pharmaceutical industry, and of course the illegal pharmaceutical industry, and the therapy industry.

And the whole point of these industries is to keep us industrious, for the devil makes work for idle hands.

So the pursuit of happiness is at heart a religious pursuit for heaven on earth.

And of course it is doomed to failure, thank heavens, for the largest presenting symptom at doctors' surgeries is depression.

And in fact all feelings, even happiness, are mixed feelings.

And the unalloyed pursuit of happiness is totalitarian when we are lying in the gutter looking at the stars.

So we are condemned to dance between happiness and myriad unhappinesses.

For as Tolstoy taught us, "Happy families are all alike; and every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way".

And as we perceive by making distinctions, the distinction between happiness and unhappiness enables us to see ourselves and others.

While the blind pursuit of happiness, makes us blind.

So the blind pursuit of happiness is a variant of blind faith.

So thank heavens blind faith has been replaced by the Enlightenment.

The key to happiness, is not to pursue it. Just be it. :)
