Unfortunately this rests on incorrect judgement and the assumption I knew who he was when I happenchanced upon him. As stated above I don't get this read from other types of coaches in this field.

Doesn't relate to anything I added.

This could be an underestimation on how quickly women pick up on the most subtle queues. I don't get the same oddball read on other couches in this field like I do Owen. And they are speaking to men in their talks I watch also.

Do you think this would make a difference to my read?

From a womans perspective, Owen always gave me peculiar/odd vibes. Not in a good way.

@integral holy shit my man - I don't want you to do this. Your describe horrific suffering. I run under the total assumption you have reached out many times to medical institutions, and not found a solution? Please stay Is there any reason not to hope? ❤️ Please stay

There are two unresolved assumptions behind this for me: That the unhappiness was necessary. This is probably the biggest hidden assumption. Some other possibilities that might explain success or earned wisdom would be we learned a lesson through observation, someone else's experience, education, relatively painless feedback. That becoming wise was a “success.” Which is in itself a value judgement. How do you feel about these possibilities?

I used to feel unhappiness or negativity motived me. Negative inner dialogue was a powerful force in the first phase of my life. I was motivated through self evaluation. Now I do the things I do because. I just do them. A wisdom has been gained. The relationship I had to my actions became more powerful - I stopped judging or moralising how I acted and behaved. I still acknowledge and see where I transgressed, or made an error. But it comes from discernment now. Fear, worry, negativity, judgement, moralising (as a way to interact with my feelings, thoughts & behaviours) - they were necessary feedback mechanisms to assist in my growth. Initially, pain is an incredibly useful signal - it can tell us "this is dangerous; don't do this". Through repeated experience, we learn the pattern. We integrate the information. Eventually, we don't need to touch the fire and feel the pain every time in order to know that it's dangerous. The pain delivered the information but the wisdom makes the pain unnecessary. I think psychological growth can work the same way.

@Eskilon Haha, I can just picture you in the lotus position floating out of the INTP cave - golden light emanating while you proclaim "experience tranquillity!"

The acting is great I feel - really well executed. The writing of Rheanyra could be better. I feel like they wasted some opportunities but I felt they wrote in a bit of the Targ madness pretty well (the end where she had her little delulu "I am the prince that was promised" moment, good entry to writing the initial delusion of the descent into madness). I don't relate to any of the characters. Maybe Daemon the most (probably my fav also) - only because I have a few overlaps in traits. I felt like they should have done something better with Dreamfyre and Haelena. She had such a sad end and the small glimpse we got was not enough! I felt like the writing wasn't as good as previous seasons. What the hell were Larys and Aegon even doing half the season? Aemond's story sort of meandered. A bit of filler that could have inserted some of the more interesting elements from the books. There just wasn't that same level of spicy political intrigue. But my god I am spellbound by the dragon scenes! Love them. @LordFall I think you were watching it also? Thoughts?

In my estimation that is a good fit for you (from your videos + forum presence). Hard to ever know these things! I believe until we are healthy and mature it is difficult to get accuracy from MBTI (depends also on what tests we use). I've often found issue with results not being accurate. Important to note I view it as a framework that isn't founded in really good empirical science. It is a bit pseudoscience-y

INTJ

For fitness a basic Garmin Vivoactive 5 on the left, and usually some sort of mechanical on the right. I have a few - these are just some: Mix of mech/quarts - Seiko I just like, Pierce (wartime watch I restored given to me by my late grandfather), Longines (nurses watch), and an Australian Olma with swiss internals. Peirce are a unique watchmaker that made their own movements and, if I recall correctly, first created a vertical faced chronograph. Casio digital bling mode I really like unusual watches. But mechanical watches are a BITCH because servicing and upkeep are $$$. But they last - the Pierce is almost 100 years old!! Works perfectly

I figure you are an INTP? Perhaps the flexibility and lack of external constraints feels freeing enough for you to dictate when and how you produce content that you have worked on? Personally (INTJ) I do not mind routine and external metrics (force really). I thrive in places of constraint where I can come up with duration > path > outcome and execute. Hard deadlines and costs are my jam. I work with rigid boundaries, but I really enjoy the variables and chaos that come along also. I use them to my advantage as there is usually something I can leverage. Do you find motivating yourself to output something on a timeline a challenge to adhere to, or rigid and blunting to your energy/process? @Eskilon ROFL - A contemplation escape room where to get out you need to successfully build a scaffolding of understanding reality for the mind, instead of solve a physical puzzle?

RIP 🙏🏻 legend

Yeah he was a big name - he produced Madonna's album Ray of Light. This is his stuff:

I honestly think for INTP their intellectual pursuits - structure, inner contemplation/internal consistency, intellectual understanding, logic - that IS their productivity. They are actively doing something and achieving something to that end. It just isn't apparent from the outside. And it probably (from outsiders view and society at large) doesn't count as a productive activity. I miss things INTP's do not because I have a tendency to only take the information away that is useful and can be applied. I will immediately jump to how long something can take, what is the path and goal. Anything not relevant is discarded.

An insight is “true,” or it is not really an insight. An insight is not simply an opinion or a guess. An insight is an authentic experience. An insight is beyond any belief—it is instead something personally encountered and understood. An insight is self-validating, since the truth or validity of the realization lies inherent in the thing realized. An insight is authentic, and a person who has one will speak with authority since no guesswork is involved. With insight, a clear and personal grasping of the subject matter is the authority Do we agree with the above? Do you have any body, emotion, or feeling sensations along with an insight that indicate the experience for you? I do. Tell me what you experience adjacent to your insights.

@Jordan of the Shire Yes I experience a very distinct feeling of exhilaration when I have a genuine insight. I have a familiar set of body experiences that accompany it. I like hearing how others have somatic experiences

There are intellectual differences that create genuine upper constraints on what kinds of work/tasks people can perform.

Neva!

@coca I did not mean to be insensitive to any implied health issues 🙏🏻

I didn't comment or pass any sort of negative judgment. I think offence was taken as there was some implied bad intent that simply wasn't there - if, for example, @coca had replied he was taking such and such but was off meds etc I would have reached out via PM to check in. I don't think mental states are anything to be ashamed about and don't reflect who or what we are, or our worth. A PM with the question may have sufficed? @coca I don't think you know who has received a warning, PM or disciplinary action as a result of this thread.

Missed this comment - yeah we keep a lookout. Sometimes we have users pass through who are in a pinch. If someone fits a loose profile or other users are concerned and contact us we look into it.

@coca no offense was meant @Jirh no
