Going apeshit on someone is never a good idea cause it's really all projection.

I can't even recall all of the arguments/fights I have gotten into where the other person started going berserk because of their *own* issues.

Why else would you need to go berserk other than insecruity? Whenever people talk shit about other people it always reflects on them way more than the person they're talking about. I was thinking about this today, I kind of think anything you say, even when talking about other people, speaks only for yourself. Other people are who they are and nothing you say or think about them can change what they really are. You probably don't even know that person well enough to understand them, so you're outlashing is probably completely unfounded and wrong anyway. They're just projecting their own suck onto you. And everyone sucks a little bit, right?

How many times have people said things about you that really don't describe you at all? For me, a ton of times, but none of those change who I am, so I never feel the need to unleash at someone. I used to go fucking apeshit at people, I was a really angry kid, but I just don't care any more, and boy is it rewarding.

SOOOOOOO TRUE!!!!

People's propensity to project has been a haunting reoccurring theme that I have picked up on in my life, to the point where I view it to be a tenet of human behavior.

Wow, yessss!!!

Everything you say is really a reflection and projection of yourself, period!!!

:hug:

Are you sure you are only 16?!?!? :thinking:

Lol, apathy does have its perks, doesn't it. ;)

I care, unfortunately, and if I don't reason with it, or let it out somehow, I have a tendency to get implosive, which is berry, berry, baaaaaddddd!!!!

:yes:

I agree with the projection stuff, GZA. Doesn't it crack you up when someone goes on and on about something that bothers them and it's all stuff they do themselves? I can hardly keep from gettin' all righteous about it. Heh.

Some folks don't seem to have a lot of introspection.

I was just thinking today about that blanket statement people sometimes make around here about INFPs going to any lengths to preserve the peace and asking myself under what circumstances I will do that and which ones I won't.

LOL

That is the best part of the ENFP though. Their effusive self-expression. It's beautiful and very endearing.

Girl, try some shamelessness, I highly recommend it. :)

It could be an extraverted thing, because I'm introverted and I'm a closed book. I'm only expressive through creative things.

What exactly did you say?

And I agree with the shamelessness part -if thats how you naturally are, then so be it.

I used duct tape last night in my shoes. Halloween costume.

End of night - tights stuck to shoes!

Husband said Red Green would have been proud of me.

I just had a thought -

How many intellectuals think that it's duck tape?
