is your name based on doom? Because... the doom marine is my goddamn hero. I'd be willing to say he is the ESTP 8w7 archetype, haha.
No, it's actually a reference to the film A Clockwork Orange, where the protagonist and his "droogs" engage in what they call "ultraviolence". That Marine looks like a total bad ass though lol.
I don't repress it anymore. Too much effort. Look through this website and you'll find a number of times where I've been told I'm a sociopath... psychopath... narcissist... psychologically unstable...
I had someone tell me I'm a lot like the main character in battleship. Have you ever been told you're unstable or a loose cannon? Do people tend to think you're seconds away from doing whatever it is you claim you're about to do? Have you ever messed with people in this way?
No one has ever explicitly told me that I am unstable or a loose cannon, though I'm sure people have thought of me as such. Actually, when I retrieved my psychological records from a psychiatrist I visited about two years ago, the records stated that I was severely unstable and posed a danger to others as well as myself. Only my parents were aware of this instability however.
In regards to your second and third question, I guess so though I'm not sure. If I understand you correctly, it sounds like you're referring specifically to threats of action which are either hostile or brash, or otherwise harmful. Basically, a warning to others that you are about to "make a point" and it's not going to be pretty. Yes, I find myself doing this when I get angry from time to time however I don't always give warnings when I'm about to take action. What you're pretty much asking is if I tend to get people "on edge" when I'm angry. I mean, when I'm pissed, I do want everyone surrounding me to be angry as well but I don't necessarily intentionally put them on edge everytime.
No, I do not like fucking with people like that although I can understand why you'd find it amusing, if you do.
Hmm... I"m trying to remember why I asked this. I think I meant to ask "do you intimidate others?"
Not actively, as in, I often do not purposefully try to intimidate others although I find that some people, particularly females, find me intimidating.
Would you say you're competitive against yourself? I know I absolutely hate competitive people unless they're playful about it. But people who take it to heart really bug me.
It's funny that you mention this for that is precisely how I was originally intending to describe my competitiveness. Yes, I am playfully competitive and I also get irritated when people get emotionally invested.
lol... this is where we differ. Although I'd say I'm more of a foxhole christian, haha.
I subsitute spirituality with philosophy. Discovered existentialism and nihilism around the same time I stopped "believing", which was about age twelve. Never looked back.
hmm... how often are you online? I find people misinterpret just about 90% of what I say online, and 25% of what I say in person... though in person it has more to do with morals. For example, I once said, "navy pilots get so bored they PRAY for a chance to blow something up," and these ultra liberals gasped and were completely shocked that anyone would "pray to blow something up."
I'm frequently online but I do not often engage in communication with others. Lol at your example, I could see myself making a similar comment and getting slammed for it. Would probably warrant a "lighten up" or "chill the fuck out" from me.
How old are you? Have you achieved this success yet? I'm very similar to you in these goals, though I never explicitely viewed "control and power" as one of my goals. I only viewed those as a means to an end (freedom and community). Would you happen to be an 873 tritype?
Only nineteen. Hell no, I haven't achieved anything worth merit or praise in this world. It may also be my youth that influences my desire to achieve these goals. I remember when I visited the recruiting office for the Marine Corps and the SSGT asked me where I saw myself in the next ten or twenty years. I responded enthusiastically with "In a position of power". He responded with a smile and a "Such a young answer".
I suppose I can agree with viewing control and power as a means to an end however there is something about the allure of power that motivates me to acquire it and wield it as more than a means to an end. Yes, my tritype is 8w7 - 7w8 - 3w2.
I've had 2 people online tell me I'm intense, and I had 1 girl who I knew tell me I'm intense, and an ENTJ read my book and told me I seem like a very intense person. Based on how people react to me, I can only logically conclude that I am an intense person, though I've always viewed E4's as way more intense than myself. I'm starting to think I'm unaware of my own intensity because I have almost no idea how I come off to others. Can you identify with this? Do you think its possible you're very intense without realizing it
I feel like if I were to write a book, I could also be viewed as intense. However, I would be skeptical of using that adjective to describe me although it could be a possibility that I am but simply unaware of it, as you say. I would have to receive input from people I know however in order to comfortably call myself intense.
ok, the reason I asked this was because my eyes are very very telling of my emotions, and I think I unconsciously don't want anyone to know how misanthropic I actually am. When I'm angry, I actually avoid eye contact as a way of saying "I don't bite." I was hoping you'd identify with this.
Well, I guess something similar to what you're describing happened to me just yesterday. I was really angry to the point where I was about to commit violence towards anyone who was willing to give me a reason to go off on them. I walked into McDonald's, where there happened to be this really cute Brazilian girl (such a nice ass) whom I've talked to in the past. I immediately averted her gaze despite her obvious desire to talk to me because I knew my eyes were probably going to make her think I meant to do her harm.
When I happen to be angry with someone who is actually present in my surroundings however, I definitely do not avoid eye contact. Quite the opposite actually, I stare them the fuck down.
Its not often I meet another ESTp 8w7 online. I identified with many things you said and I wonder how I am in comparison to you. My instinctual variant is Sx/So. I know you said you suspect you're So. Have you considered Sx/So? I used to identify with So/Sx for a while but never really made it apparent.
I haven't actually done much research on the instinctual variants so I honestly do not know. It could be possible that I'm Sx first but for now I identify with So first.
