3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in? I was born in the USA and I still live here
4. What cultural background are you? My family is from the Irish countryside, but I don't think that's significantly impacted my upbringing
5. What religion are you? What religion is your family? I follow no religions, but I plan on transitioning into Buddhism after high school. My mother identifies as "spiritual" but not religious and my father and brother are atheists.

Questions
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal? If by some miracle I'm able to go to college, I'd like to study psychology. I'm taking an AP psychology class at the moment and I have a knack for it.
7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people? It's hard for me to get to know people of either gender, so I don't have many close friends. My closest friends ever have been my exes and my current boyfriend, I tend to bond best with men though I have unending respect for all women. I can only remain friends with people who are easy to be around and are accepting.
8. What paranoias do you have? People secretly despising me.
9. What are your vices? I smoke weed (too much, some would say) and was addicted to harder stuff in the past. I become very addicted to anything mind-altering.
10. What are your fears? Rejection, mostly. Huge, empty spaces.
11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)? My relationship with my mother is highly unstable. I love and hate her more than anyone else. My dad and I are similar people (reserved, respectful of each other's space) but we aren't very close. My older brother is one of my best friends; I can talk to him about anything.
12. How are you with expressing emotion in public? I come off as indifferent most of the time, but when I'm really emotional, I'm really emotional. I've been known to cry in public on my off days.
13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now? I still am in high school. I don't know how people see me exactly, but I'm not there often. Most people, I get vibes that they see me as just another peer. Some people may think I'm odd.
And finally....
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general? I'd like to feel as much as I can and I'd like to help others in that, too.

14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?
To understand human nature and how I can best help others see their potential. I don't see much for myself, even though I talk about myself a lot. The 4 part of me is telling that I must find the "perfect one" so that she can compliment me and "complete" me. Yes, it is cheesy.

[sostenuto]

Backgound
1. What is your personality type? INTJ. Supposedly. According to several online tests, anyway. I have tested as INTP, and INFJ, and way back when, ISTJ. The INTJ description, however, fits me best.

4. What cultural background are you? Asian.
5. What religion are you? What religion is your family? My family likes to think they are Buddhist, but we aren't a very religious bunch. I'd say I'm a Buddhist, but I'm probably more spiritual than religious.

Questions
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal? Accountant/financial analyst with a side job of being a piano teacher. Currently in college to study Accounting and IT. Already giving a few piano lessons to family and friends.
7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people? Meh. I don't have any male friends (anymore). I only have one female friend that I'm extremely close to, and I probably have a handful of others I haven't actually seen in person in a while, due to college and distance. I'm friends with them because they're interesting. They listen to what I have to say, and they can carry a conversation. They're trustworthy and honest.
8. What paranoias do you have? I'm always afraid of people criticizing or judging me silently. I suppose the social anxiety contributes a bit?
9. What are your vices? I'm very stubborn and hard-hearted. I can get easily jealous as well.
10. What are your fears? I'm afraid of being alone, failure, spiders/arachnids/insects...can't think of anymore right now.
11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)? My father passed away when I was little. My relationship with my mother is rather devoid of emotion, but, well, we don't get into many arguments, either. I have no siblings.
12. How are you with expressing emotion in public? I would rather not express emotion in public.
13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now? I think people saw me as "the quiet & responsible music student". Now I'm just quiet and responsible, seeing as I don't carry around a violin case every day. I think people now add "aloof/cold" to the mix, though.
And finally....
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general? Live life the way you want to. Don't be constrained by society's ideals. Make yourself happy and define success in whatever way that you will, but try to think and learn as much as possible.

[á´…eparted]

1. What is your personality type?

ENFJ, 1w2, LSI-ISTj


2. Are you male or female?

Male


3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in?

USA, Oregon. Raised in USA, New Jersey


4. What cultural background are you?

Middle class


5. What religion are you? What religion is your family?

Atheist. Father is Agnostic, mother is devout new age/spiritual. Most of my fathers side of the family is christian, most of my mothers side is atheist/agnostic/apathetic


6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal?

Goal is to be a PhD organic chemist. As of now I am going to strive to work for the CDC or NIH someday on the new generation of antibiotics that are desprately needed for the world and need to be created. I am currently in my 3rd year of my PhD program.


7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people?

I have always seemed to befriend girls much faster than I befriend guys. Even as a small child my best friends were female. They always felt "safer" and more relateable to me. It's a stronger feeling of comfort. There is usually this feeling of tension/stress around most males. I am close friends with several. The concept of friendship with me is kind of complicated, and it's too much to explain. Really, I need to find a relationship first to help sort it out. What defines a good friend for me is not so cut and dry, but I'd say about 1/2 a dozen are truly close friends. I become friends with people I can easily and freely communicate with (in such a way where I don't feel pressured to contain myself too much), and share lots of common ground with.


8. What paranoias do you have?

I'm not really paranoid about anything in particular in the long term. Except for perhaps money/finances. The whole idea of it is anxiety inducing and I try not to think about it and ignore it as much as I can.


9. What are your vices?

I think my worst is my ability to lie/manipulate. I'm really good at it. Because I intrinsically understand social networks and stuff fairly easily, I almost don't even need to think about it to do it.


10. What are your fears?

Failure. Simple as that really. Failing at something, not meeting the mark, etc. does cause me a tremendous amount of pain.


11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)?

No sibblings. I get along with my father fairly well. He's an ESTJ 1w9, and has fairly different values than I do, but we have grown a lot over the years and have learned to understand each other, even if we don't "understand" each other. There's a lot of respect for each other. My mother is an INFJ 9w8, and we were unbelieveably close when I was young, up until around when I was 20 I started to drift away, and last year it all fell apart. In short, she's become unrelatable, is completely sucked into political and spiritual/cult-like conspiricry theories, many of which are anti-science. As a scientist, I REALLY can't stomach it. Her not dealing well with me becoming atheist last year made it worse. We seldom talk anymore.


12. How are you with expressing emotion in public?

Basic emotions I could care less, so long as it would be seen as appropriate for the situation I am in. If I get the vibe that what I'd do is socially inappropriate and there is no one else around to help it I will keep it to myself, as I don't want to disturb things. For more raw emotions like sadness, that shit gets locked up and I almost never show it. It leaks out of me whether I like it or not when I am still/not talking, but if someone asks I deny it and wipe it off.


13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?

People in high school saw me as a science super nerd, haha. I was much more introverted in high school, but I wasn't that shy either. My main focus was studying and doing well in my classes. I sort of bounced between several social groups for a while until around junior year I settled into one. I was not confidant in myself or my own authority at all back then, and would cave easily to the pressure of others, but quietly fume about it and at times get passive aggressive about stuff. In essence, I was just much much less comfortable in my own skin. Now I have come into my own much more. People see me as directive, certain, intelligent, firm, and particular. Any areas where I lack confidence I hide from view unless there is a reason to show it.


14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?

If you want me to be really honest, I don't. I see no point in living/existing, and IMO it'd be much easier and make much more sense to just not. But that's not a well excepted way of thinking, so I largely stuff that away. That fact that I don't see a point doesn't bother me either. I have long term plans and goals outside of this, and I am going for them, simply because it's just a thing that I do.

[Bowlosol]

1. What is your personality type?
INFP

2. Are you male or female?
Male

3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in?
The United States. Colorado, specifically.

4. What cultural background are you?
Mixed/American. Ancestrally: 1/4 Volga German, 1/8 German-German, 1/8 Irish, 1/8 Walloon (French-Belgian), 1/8 English, and 1/4 unknown European (Probably Dutch and Belgian).

5. What religion are you? What religion is your family?
I am a Roman Catholic. I wasn't really raised as one, apart from praying occasionally with my mom. I chose to start going to church independently when I was ten. Currently, I'm more of a "knower of His truth" than a "believer of His love" if that makes any sense. Hopefully I'll believe again someday. My Mom and my Sister were raised Catholic, while my Dad was raised a Protestant and has been an Atheist since college.


Questions
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal?
Education, specifically Social Studies like Geography, History, and Psychology, or maybe even Theology or Philosophy. Although I'm not certain about that path at all. Those are just the subjects where my talents are. I used to want to be a Doctor like all my ancestors, but I'm terrible at Math and non-anatomical fields of Science. Teaching would let me do what I'm good at and interested in, and also be around kids instead of adults (because I like kids more).

7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people?
I met my friends through school Cross Country and we became very close almost immediately. They are very fun and very cool, but also really deep and loving which is a sort of thing that I especially appreciate. We've done countless things together, and shared so many personal conversations. I can actually trust them with my feelings more than I can my own family. Also, their personality types (because we're real big on the MBTI) are ENFP, ENFP, INTP, INTJ, ESFP, and ESTP. On women, I interact with them easily until I find out that I really like one, and then struggle immensely to talk fluidly with her.

8. What paranoias do you have?
That other drivers might be pissed off at me.

9. What are your vices?
My biggest vice is masturbation - exhibit A of my lack of self-control. My imagination can be vastly darker than my personality is usually. I'm also very lazy.

10. What are your fears?
That I'll never have a family, or never get a job, or never ... be self-actualized, I guess.

11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)?
My family is divorced parent-wise, and volatile sibling-wise. I'm really really close with my Mom (an ENFP), although she does erupt carelessly at times. She's still the highlight of my life. My Dad (an ISTJ), is a very quiet, reserved Stanford-graduate Doctor. He's actually a very loving person, but the rest of my family ignore that aspect of him. I have only one sibling (unfortunately), a younger sister (ISFP). She completely shuts me out of her personal life. She struggles with a lot of depression and self-harm but hates it when I try to talk to her. I get very upset thinking about how our relationship should be. She's my only sibling, yet our interactions are intentionally minimized. She doesn't take into account my love for her.

12. How are you with expressing emotion in public?
I'm fine with it. I usually think that other people either disregard my emotion or think that I'm foolish and absurd (except my friends of course).

13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?
Well I currently am in High School, so I'll just compare it to Middle School (this will probably give the wrong impression of me). Then, I was extremely hyper-sensitive, quiet, shy, weak, and certainly significantly different from everyone else. Very few people liked me. I begged my Dad to let me go to a different high school instead, because I was extremely depressed, and ruined most of my other relationships with the kids at my school. In High School, I was much stronger, and able to understand others and how I should react to them. I even hardly ever cry, which was a very surprising transformation for me. I'm cool with everyone in my grade, and friendly with a great number of them. Their positive perception of me as being nice (and even cool and funny sometimes!) has been huge for my self-esteem. I've never been happier in my life.

And finally....
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?
To have a large loving, trusting and unbreakable family. I think about that a lot. Ultimately, it's to do the best with the gifts God has given me.

[Flâneuse]

1. What is your personality type?
ISFP. Possibly INFP with underdeveloped Ne.

2. Are you male or female?
Female

3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in?
I've lived in the United States my whole life.

4. What cultural background are you?
I'm 1/2 Dutch, 3/8 mixed British (English and Scottish), 1/8 Spanish Cuban.

5. What religion are you? What religion is your family?
I haven't been religious since I was 14, but the subject fascinates me. I was raised in a mildly religious (Moravian) home, but now only my dad is still part of that denomination; my mom seems more generally spiritual and my brother goes to an Anglican church.

6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal?
My dream is to be able to support myself through creative endeavors (artwork, writing, or even crafts), but I'm realistic that most people who want to do this don't get to.
I'm terribly fleeting in my interests, so I'm trying to narrow down my focus more and actually develop some skills instead of experimenting with something and then moving on to the next thing. Right now I'm in love with the idea of being a stained glass artist, and maybe in a few years if I'm really good at it, creating stuff that people would actually want to buy, and certain that I love it so much that I'm willing to live frugally for the rest of my life in order to pursue it (because realistically it wouldn't bring in a ton of money), then I might attempt a career switch. (Most likely though, it will remain a side hobby.)

7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people?
I'm more of a woman's woman, but I have one close male friend. The other two are women. What I like about friend 1 (ISTP): he is an excellent listener, nonjudgmental, smart, practical, interesting and complex but wants to keep it to himself, and honest. Friend 2 (ENFJ 2w1): warm, friendly, curious, we happen to share many interests (including mythology and music), sort of intellectual, very insightful. Friend 3 (INFP 4w3): We just "see" each other more than most people do. She's an INFP, and we have that instant (partial) understanding that one often gets with people who share their dominant function. We understand each other's issues (we both have "wannabe artist" and envy problems), so we can talk about stuff without worrying about the other being judgmental. She's also a really smart, complex person who has a huge heart.
Until I was around twenty I was often nervous around most males my age (unless I already knew them), partially because of suppressed boy-craziness and the self-consciousness that came with it. Thankfully, I'm over that and now I only feel nervous around men that I'm personally attracted to (yay).

8. What paranoias do you have?
Sometimes, I constantly think that people are insulting me indirectly, and find ways to construe their words in a threatening way.

9. What are your vices?
Being lazy. Being extremely distractable: bouncing around from interest to interest, and thought to thought, so that I'm only forming a shallow pool of knowledge and understanding.

10. What are your fears?
That I'm just a joke to other people. That I'm a bad person who can't change and should have never been born because I'll only mess things up for others. That I'll never be understood on the level that I want to be understood. That who I think I am isn't really who I am, and that deep down there's really nothing there: nothing to understand except a void that I try to fill with ephemeral lies. Emptiness. Not like Buddhist neutral/spacious Emptiness, a void that gives you the freedom to move around: more like a violent sucking black hole of emptiness that erases all freedom and potential.

11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)?
With my mother: not excellent right now. With my dad: friendly but not extremely close. Brother: Probably a normal long-distance family relationship. No conflict, but not very close either. Warm in a removed way.

12. How are you with expressing emotion in public?
It depends. I hate showing anger and grief, and like most people crying in public is horrible for me if it's not "appropriate" to the situation. If I'm at a funeral or something, then I don't mind showing grief. Like most e9s, around most people IRL I tend to hide my painful feelings and aggression and mainly show emotion only when I'm happy.

13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?
High school - sweet, a little ditzy/lacking common sense but a good student/academically smart, hard to get to know, ADD, strange (sometimes in an off-putting rather than charmingly quirky way). Goody-two-shoes facade, but self-interested and a teensy bit wild underneath. Now - pretty much the same, except I'm probably seen as slightly less sweet, and a bit more aloof. Also, I've started to strike people as boring because I'm less communicative IRL now, but I think my inner life has gotten more interesting.

14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?
To life in general - don't ask me. From what I understand, there is no objective point to life.
To my life - I'll never come to a conclusive answer to this. It's an ongoing search and my answer is always changing, but as of right now I'm going to say to contribute to the lives of others, to connect with them and enrich their experiences. Unfortunately, I suck at this right now.

This is based off of Usehername's INTJ Female Role Call. I was filling out all the questions she had and I was reading other female INTJ's responces. I found it very interesting and that it seemed like most female INTJ were not girly-girls. I found I related to some of them and not to others. So, this arouse my curiousity about people and personality types. So we have so many different people here, with different personalities, backgounds and beliefs, I thought it would be interesting to see what other types would answer to some of these questions.

Backgound
1. What is your personality type? INFP
2. Are you male or female? Male
3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in? USA to both.
4. What cultural background are you? Southern (Appalachian)
5. What religion are you? What religion is your family? Christian to both.

Questions
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal? On the fence about a career, but I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Writing, so...
7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people? I have few but close friends. Mostly because they're dependable, reasonable, honest, loyal, etc. I don't like friendships just to have them. These are people I love talking to and hanging out with and legitimately care about.
8. What paranoias do you have? Uh... hmm... probably the motives and ambitions of others.
9. What are your vices? Lazy lol
10. What are your fears? Losing the people I love.
11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)? No relationship with my father anymore (by my own choice), extremely close and friendly relationship with my mother. No siblings.
12. How are you with expressing emotion in public? I'm not a dramatic person, but if an emotion hits me hard enough then being public isn't the biggest issue I have at the time.
13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now? Well, when there was a bomb threat people thought I did it... I was pretty quiet and detached, because to cope with being different and bullying I kept a distance between myself and most of the others. My friends knew I was a good person, I just don't play by the stupid social rules.
And finally....
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general? Hopefully to be a comfort to people and give them reassurance about their own place in life. I dunno, I'm still trying to pin down what my purpose is, beyond helping my mom and chasing goats.

Background
1. What is your personality type?
ESTJ
2. Are you male or female?
Female
3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in?
Currently in the US. Born in Germany.
4. What cultural background are you?
Just German. I've lived in the US since I was a teenager though, so I have a lot of influences from here as well. My husband's family is largely El Salvadorian, so I'm also exposed to that culture a lot.
5. What religion are you? What religion is your family?
My family is mostly Roman Catholic, but not really practicing. I'm not religious.

Questions
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal?
I went back to college a little over a year ago to finish my BS in IT. I will probably stay to do my Master's (though probably in CS) if we can afford it and my family situation allows for it. It's hard with one kid, it'll definitely be hard with two. I'm on the fence about more children, but I told my husband I'd consider it when I finish my BS, so we'll see. I do freelance projects if I have time (not often) for some extra cash. I'd like to either teach at a university or do something like IT management. I like programming, etc., but I want to utilize my people skills.

7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people?
I don't have many close friends. I have my bar group (whom I see almost exclusively every Friday at our local dive), my husband and I's mutual friends, my mom friends, and 3 very close friends. I don't care much for acquaintances. I don't have a problem talking to anyone, really, but I don't prefer being at that weird cusp of friendship with a ton of people. The bar dynamic (dominated by males and 3 females, generally) is very goofy, but we also verbally spar a lot. My husband and I's mutual friends are also mostly men (a lot of couples), and we do things like have barbecues, go out occasionally, see sporting events/concerts, whatever. My mom friends, I generally discuss child-related things with, but I'm quite close with a few of them and we'll talk about other things too. My close friends are 2 males and one female. They're the people I can be completely unabashedly myself around and they still love me all the same (and vice versa).

8. What paranoias do you have?
I have occasional bouts of anxiety... in which case, everything. Usually, I register that paranoia is a pointless emotional state and don't bother with it.

9. What are your vices?
If I don't consciously think about it, alcohol becomes a problem. I quit smoking and everything else a few years ago. Does not sleeping count? That's definitely a problem for me.

10. What are your fears?
Being stuck in a rut or limbo. It's absolutely the worst feeling for me. I need to do things and be productive and I need to have a plan.

11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)?
I love my mom (ESFJ). We're not so close that we talk about literally everything (mostly because of my personality), but I trust her the most out of anyone in my life. Growing up, I was her rock a lot, but I didn't mind. I don't really speak with my father. Things are good with my stepdad, neither ones are lovey dovey people, so our dynamic is great for both of us. I have 5 younger siblings. My oldest younger brother and I do not get along. He's a textbook narcissist with no impulse control, and he drove me crazy growing up. I love him because he's my brother, but I talk to him as rarely as possible. I love my middle brother the most, we have a lot in common (he just started college and we're studying similar things, etc.) My other two siblings... I've always been like mom #2 too them, so that's definitely still our dynamic now.

12. How are you with expressing emotion in public?
That doesn't happen. I do have a switch when it comes to my son though. He gets all the love and attention he needs/wants, and I don't care who sees.

13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?
Reserved and serious, but not really in a nerdy way. I've had people tell me they thought I was intimidating (that resting bitchface) and I didn't really talk to many people. I mostly kept to myself and did what I had to do. I think people still see me like that now.

14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?
I do struggle with this a lot because I don't know... and I don't like that I don't know. This is one of the few things I actively try to just let be because I know it's pointless to think about. I'm just trying to be happy with myself, love my son with everything that I've got, and work on my marriage and life for us to all be content.

Backgound

1. I'm certain my enneatype is 5, but I'm still working through MBTI... IxTP - you're welcome to type me.
2. I am female.
3. Born/raised in the USA.
5. I was born into a Christian family but currently consider myself agnostic. Maybe I'll come to my own conclusion someday.​

Questions

6. I am undecided about career at this point. I'm interested in biology, psychology, and medical fields, but am not passionate about a very specific area. It's all interesting to me. I have a BA in psychology and am currently taking courses in biology and chemistry, which are prerequisites that will open up more options for me in the future.

7. I don't have many friends. Most of my online friends are male, though a greater proportion of my close friends are female. I would say I have around 5 close friends. I'm not sure how to describe my friendships but one thing they all share in common is that they accept me for who I am (and vice versa). They're able to see past my lack of small talk/light humor, which is what I think drives most people away from me. We're able to respect each others' space yet come together to offer differing perspectives and insights about mutual interests. Also, these people don't require me to be constantly hanging out with them in order to remain good friends.

8/10. I'm suspicious of the intentions of people in general. Especially online and in social situations where the person could stand to gain from playing favorites or being unfair. If someone gets stepped on, it's usually me. I do want to be accepted as part of a group and eventually find a significant other, but I'm unwilling/unable to step out from the safety of keeping my distance. The few times I tried, it ended poorly.

I'm also afraid of never finding a purpose or calling that I am passionate about. What good are talents if I have the "wrong combination"?

9. For many years I was played MMORPGs excessively as a way to escape from real life and to search for a system where I could be appreciated for my in-game skill/knowledge, despite being shy and socially distant. Of course, I found out over and over that the same social constructs that I hated in real life were every bit as present in gaming communities, if not more. The typical gamer guy prefers to 'carry' a sociable girl who is able to offer them emotional closeness, rather than accept me as a peer. I can't (and won't) offer them what they want. At the same time, I am not aggressive or ambitious enough to force my way into high-end gaming groups that care only about player skill.

11. I butt heads with my extremely Fe dad. Fortunately, both of us recognize this and we tend to avoid each other around the house. I get along with my conservative ISTJ mom most of the time. She's very loving and I share a lot of tastes (in food, fashion, etc) with her, but if a political/religious topic comes up all hell will break loose because my mom isn't able to consider the possibility of alternate viewpoints. She won't let go of the topic until she drives her opinion home (mostly restating her opinions over and over without acknowledging anything I say). Needless to say, I try to avoid those topics.

12. How am I with expressing emotion in public? I'd rather not. I try to follow expected social norms/reactions when I need to (e.g. talking to an authority figure) but it feels very forced and I'm sure the other person can tell that I'm uncomfortable. I'm okay with talking to people but facial expressions don't come naturally to me and I find it hard to make/maintain appropriate eye contact. (I have no issue with tone of voice, though.) I sometimes have to fight the urge to cry if I get rebuked or called out, but I don't really feel/express much otherwise.

13. In high school I was the silent person who sat in the corner nearest to the door and slept (or had a book on my lap underneath the desk) through every class except for biology and math team. I once fell into such a deep sleep that security was called over because the teacher couldn't wake me up when the period ended.. oops. When I wasn't asleep or in one of the classes I liked, I didn't talk and probably gave off the impression that I was never paying attention.

Sleep is still an issue for me (I stay up late and don't want to get up in the morning) but I put more effort into being a "good student" in class. I sit up front and try not to look negative.

14. I see no point to life. I attempt to distract/ground myself by studying topics of interest (typology is one of these), trying to understand the world (and people) around me, and trying to interact with my friends, but still fall into bouts of depression in between distractions. I am not suicidal but I often wish I never existed.​

 

[PocketFullOf]

1. What is your personality type?
xNTP or possibly XSTP 529 most likely.
2. Are you male or female?
Female
3. What country do you live in now? What country are you born in?
USA/Italy
4. What cultural background are you?
Ethnically South Slavic...I'm not 100% sure what you're looking for here
5. What religion are you? What religion is your family?
Agnostic for me. Various forms of old school Christianity.
6. What career are you in or looking to be in? What are you doing right now to help you achieve this career goal?
This is going to sound super ENFP, but I want to go into politics and foreign affairs, I just took the FSOT.
7. What is your friendships like with both genders? How many good friends do you have and why are you friends with these people?
I have several close friends, and I have friends of both genders in pretty equal measure I'd say. I am mostly friends with people who enjoy the same things as me...that is NOT career wise but free time wise and have similar indulgences.
8. What paranoias do you have?
I'm not really sure yet to be honest. I don't trust people very easily so I guess I am paranoid about being betrayed or appearing vulnerable.
9. What are your vices?
Alcohol, Kratom, Futurama, NOVA, amazing food. I'm a foodie.
10. What are your fears?
I'm not sure yet...I'm not very introspective. I don't really know who I am to be honest. But poisonous spiders and other critters are definitely not my cup of tea, and I am not too fond of disappointing people.
11. What is your relationship like with your parents? siblings (if you had any)?
Pretty normal. I have times where I can't stand them, but in the end I love and admire them and wouldn't want to be without them completely.
12. How are you with expressing emotion in public?
Not good at all, I can very easily empathize and on a superficial level sympathize with people when I over think their situation, but like I said before, I'm not sure who I am and I can really only express the strongest of my emotions and only then when they force themselves to the surface which is not often. In college my friends referred to me as a robot.
13. How do you think people saw you in high school? How do you think people see you now?
I think people saw me as an average american girl in high school, and that is generally how they see me now although I think I come off as a little more charming and intellectual...and I don't necessarily mean that in a good way.
14. What do you see as the point to your life and life in general?
I'm not sure there is a point to life in general. As far as my point in life, I yearn for knowledge first and foremost, and with that knowledge I hope to educate others and help them make choices that will help themselves in the context of their community, their city, their country, the world and the universe.

I have a lot of friendly acquaintances, which is rather odd since I'm very shy and introverted, but people seem to take a liking to me quite fast upon meeting me. I have about a handful or more of good friends (all introverted), and we're close because we understand and complement each other so well.
