I WILL BE CENSORED AFTER DEC 14TH

Good, I’ve got your attention. I’ve heard about this net neutrality bullshit returning. I fought it when it started popping up a few years ago, and I’m going to fight it again. Guys, it’s BACK AGAIN and even worse theres a big chance it will END UP PASSING!

https://www.battleforthenet.com/#bftn-action-form

This could literally mean a shit ton of you wont be able to see me anymore if your provider decides that they want to regulate/censor, sayyy overly sexual content. You’ll also have to pay extra money to even use Tumblr!

https://www.battleforthenet.com/#bftn-action-form

Please guys, we defeated this shit once, we can do it again. They’re trying to do it now while people are distracted by the holidays and fucking Justice League. As of today, it seems as though there have only been 266,810 calls made to Congress. This is NOT good enough!! MILLIONS of people use the net, and if each one of them took 60 seconds to call and protect it, holy balls do you KNOW how much of a difference that would make??? But noooo, you’re busy streaming an ecchi anime that wont be available to you soon!!!!!

Heres a direct link to make a difference (theres also links to other sites of the same nature on here), and yes, YOU can make a fucking difference because this is YOUR internet at stake here. If you’re not going to make the call, share this and maybe SOMEONE fucking will!! This is important as shit and we cant afford to lose. Dec 14th is the deadline.

I know this doesn’t sound important but….

The reason they started this again is because… the timing.

Coincidence? I think NOT.

Everyone is so obsessed with something else, The FCC are manipulating us.

[xxkittenxxyt-deactivated2018020]

I seriously don’t want to give up Tumblr and YouTube all together because of this crap..

[the-thing-hiding-under-your-bed]

Hello tumblr I’m asking for your help. This is my cousin Rachael. She’s smart, kind, and a genuinely good person. She had been staying up at our families land in Wells new York so that she could be closer to her new job. Wednesday night she went to dinner with her parents then went home. She texted her mom at 9:15pm and that was the last time anyone heard from her. Friday morning her dad went to check on her and she was nowhere to be found. Her camper door was wide open as was the door to her jeep. The keys were still in the Jeep. As was her phone, purse, and the leftovers from her dinner. The jeep had run out of gas and died. After searching the woods and exhausting every other possibility the police now think that she was abducted. Please. If anyone has seen her or heard anything then help us bring her home. Please. All of her family and friends are worried sick. It’s been five days so she could be anywhere. Even if youre not in new York please share. It could literally save a life

how old is google?

[sunnysaltydreams-blog]

google is 13 today

[moon-nyoom]

I am over half of a decade older than google and it makes me feel weird because when I actually started using the computer - which wasn’t until I was about ten - google was already a big part of the internet and is what I used when ask jeeves went away and I’d probably still use ask jeeves if if it were still up and running because jeeves was the shit like up there with bill nye cause he made me feel like a lazyass Batman - jeeves not bill and where the hell was i going with this…

[mbti-maniacs]

I am currently cleaning up my main blog (which has taken me weeks btw) and I came across this and now I’m wondering how the hell I ever thought I used Ni like @mbtiguy you’re just so right about me using Ne damn your amazing psychic Se powers.

Also, about Se and Ni: Se is the driving force behind the “psychic” part of Ni, by the way! It allows you to make all of your concrete observations to run them through your noggin and make predictions! It’s also why Se-doms are hella crazy good at reading people!

[mbti-maniacs]

Anouncementish thingy?

So apparently I’m actually an ENTP and my bipolar disorder had me using my shadow functions

I don’t know what to do with this information... just...

W h u t

Am not INTJ

Am an extrovert?

Use Ne?

Huh?

AND WHEN DID I GET SO MANY FOLLOWERS I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU JUST OH MY GOD!!!

There are 791 of you???

Each and every one of you has my love and gratitude!

And I’ll probably write a long-winded Ne dump about this recent discovery just in case anyone is interested in how depression can effect perception of self and type!

And seriously, why do you guys even follow me? This thing is a hot mess.

[mbti-maniacs]

One of my INTJ friends is dating an ENTP. The INTJ feels like the ENTP and her don’t have a solid, deep emotional connection and it’s starting to affect their relationship. I don’t know how to help her because I’ve actually had the same issue with ENTPs… ADVICE NEEDED!!! How can you get an ENTP to emotionally connect with you??

(Disclaimer: I am manic, so look out) You are very, very lucky because this INTJ just so happens to have dated an ENTP - and is still good friends with him to boot (when he decides to communicate, he’s really bad about that, yeesh…)! They are often very absentminded and awkward when expressing their feelings, moreso when it’s an ENTP who is not used to dating, is full of self-doubt, or is just plain awkward - as they are prone to be. Don’t lie, ENTPs, you know you’re all awkward as hell.

ENTPs use Fe, and it’s not in their top two so they’re not going to be experts with other people’s feelings and are probably going to have trouble articulating their own feelings if their Fe is not well developed. So you’re going to want to talk to them about how you feel - which is often difficult for us who use Fi, especially lower Fi - and they are probably going to feel bad because they didn’t realize that they weren’t showing you how they truly felt. Thinker =/= unfeeling asshole (usually) so my guess is - especially since they use Ne as their lead function, so they’re often in their heads - they don’t even realize they’re doing it. Orrrr they just automatically assumed that it was known how they feel and that you’re on the same page.

Like I said, just have them talk it out. Communication is always key to ANY good relationship, regardless of the types involved! Just don’t use the whole “we need to talk” line, that’ll set them on edge. Make sure they’re comfortable and relaxed when you do this. Most importantly, make sure you have their undivided attention! I’ve noticed Ne-doms minds seem to be all over the place at times, which is good for brainstorming, but not so good when you want to have serious relationship talks. (Seriously, it’s like y’all have ADD on crack in your noggin or somethin’ sometimes)

And advice to some ENTPs (some of you got this relationship stuff down, which is awesome). Communicate, With, Your, Partner. Don’t just assume that once you’ve got em in a steady relationship that you don’t have to maintain the relationship! A relationship is like a rose bush, beautiful, painful, and if you don’t take proper care of it, it will wither and die. And then how are you going to win that gardening contest? Hmm? It’s not gonna water its own damn self.

I’m not trying to be harsh here, this is not my intent. My intent is to merely showcase possible shortcomings in this particular area that I have noticed your type displays so others can deal with it should it arise or that you can work on should you notice it in yourself.

Any ENTPs care to weigh in?

[mbti-maniacs]

So...one of your posts from earlier in the month was from someone asking about INTJ Geminis. Not sure if this is still relevant, but, hi, that's me :)

Oh, that’s great! There’s three of us now!

AH YES I CAN FEEL THE ABYSS OF THE Ni GRIP BRING IT ON MOTHERFUCKER

[mbti-maniacs]

What’s it like? I know what it feels like to use Ni normally, but what does it feel like when it grips you and drags you into hell?

[mbtiguy-archive]

Ni grips are a piece of shit. I can’t believe I thought I gripped in Si because of the obviously existential nature of my grips

- I have no energy

- I just kind of want to die

- I feel “out of my body” if it’s bad enough (it’s very important for me to take a really hot shower to “bring me back”)

- I feel dazed

- I can’t see much point to anything

- I can’t process things well

- Everything/everyone sucks

- Everything feels weird

- General blackness/void all around

I’m not in the grip so that’s the best I can do atm. It’s generally me being incapacitated/dark/melancholy/tired

[carloseisrealfuckyou]

this makes me qustion my type so badly

[mbtiguy-archive]

Then you’re probably an ESTP. Ni grips are nauseating

[mbti-maniacs]

So Ni grips make you feel like shit in the moment whereas Se grips make you feel like shit afterwards...

Example of Se Grip: About a week ago I was SO hyped about getting a personal trainer that I didn’t realize what it would mean for my financial future (I’m saving for so, so many things.) and later was like holy shit what did I get myself into? Every step I take is normally calculated to at least some degree. Bad Se! Bad! ...Luckily I was able to later change the contract so I’m being trained less but paying less. I have a love-hate relationship with Se.

[mbti-maniacs]

psychic reads my mind: sleek hair, inferior Fi. ENTJ, too much Ni vibes. Girl is warm, lots of eye contact, but not with everyone. Aux Fe. Clear INFJ aesthetic. dude over there...magic shirt, left hand clenching restlessly....ISTP, good tert Ni, good friend base. That man is having an affair. That girl over there is about to break up with her --- oh here comes the frustration, yep, they are definitely breaking up. This coffee tastes pretty good, I wonder when I'll have enough money to fly a jet. I like the way the ceiling beams intersect. Good wood. Wonder where it came from. Barista is clearly an INFP. dom Fi obvious in her blatant display of individuality, smiling but not Fe. Too reserved for Ne dom, I see you Ji.

Oh, you're an ENFJ. Yes, you, psychic, my inferior Ni is picking up on your Ni. Nice try.

Psychic: thE FUCK

---------

oh my god yes... XD

-----

all you INFx's are really Se doms if you're relating to this....

If I even attempted to absorb that many details I would go into sensory overload you Se-doms seriously amaze me o.e

What’s it like? I know what it feels like to use Ni normally, but what does it feel like when it grips you and drags you into hell?

[the-mbti-duo-blog]

Ni and Se

Ni: What are the future implications of a situation Se: What is currently happening and what does this mean

Take for example two people looking into each other’s eyes. The NJ says “they’re going to get together”, the SP says “they’re attracted to each other”. When asked why this is, the NJ stumbles. When asked what this will lead onto, the SP stumbles.

This is a very simplified example, but I think it is helpful in understanding. The SP is not simple. They are not “missing things”. When figuring what things mean, what is happening, what the evidence shows, they will outdo the NJ. When figuring out what things will lead onto, the NJ will outdo the SP. Extraverted sensing is not just “taking information in through the five senses” it is noticing everything now and telling you what this means in the current situation. At an extraordinary level, it’s Sherlock Holmes. Extraverted sensors are incredibly perceptive and are brilliant at knowing “what’s actually going on” and this power has been incorrectly given only to NJs.

So, to recap. Se is shockingly insightful and doesn’t “just notice things I’m the environment”. If you have any questions or comments (because I get the feeling some people are going to disagree), the ask box is always open (or just reblog this with your comments idk).

[mbti-maniacs]

Excellent explanation!

[omg-becky-look-at-her-se]

What are ESTPs like when in love? Do you guys hide it?

Oh, ho hoho. 

There’s hiding something and then there’s what ESTP’s do about love. 

We write love letters only to burn them, then bury the ashes in the back yard and plant a flower over them so we can look at it’s beauty and remember that time we had feelings.

I’ve often wondered if love wasn’t actually ESTP’s kryptonite. Like an annoying bug that we can’t ever squish. 

ESTP’s in love aren’t gonna act like themselves, they’ll probably look like they’re trying to hard or they’ll avoid you/slash be mean to you. ESTP love is a lot like second grade love. Do they like you?. Are they only hanging out with you because you’v got nicer toys?.

While ISTP’s are the og of fuckboys (it’s true and I’ll fight them over this fact like falling in love with one is painful). ESTP’s run a close second.

In a mature, trusting, loving relationship, I’m confident ESTP’s could make anyone swoon. They’ll be doting in a physical way, very touchy, very about gifts, very protective over you and to the surprise of everyone involved, slightly clingy and needy.

But, getting them there, getting them to let you in completely and take you seriously, imagine they’re a dog fighting the leash. Like. Everyone gets tired, there’s lots of yelling, you don’t know why they can’t just follow your lead, you honestly just want the moment to end but no one will cave. 

It’s this very reason that I ship ESTP and ISTP because ISTP is the only that gonna hold their ground and hold our interest too.

Personally, I blame Ni (I blame everything on Ni what). No but love is something we can’t touch or see or hear or smell, we feel it???? but not with touch, in our chest????. It just doesn’t compute, so it gets discarded. An ESTP has to develop their Fe before they’re good with emotions, so Fe can step in and be like maybe we shouldn’t ignore this feeling friend I think we might love this person. 

It depends on where that ESTP is at in life becasue it’s either gonna be the envy of all your friends or that one story you tell to people when they say no relationahip could be worse then theirs.

I’ve legit dated so many people and this. All of this. Just allllll of it. An ENFJ handled me when I was in an Se-Fe loop but pretty much I am apparently a really difficult person to be with. So Now I’m alone. It’s weird, because I’m so resistant and yet I’m so committed to pursuit. Eh, fuck it.

I crushed on an ISTP recently but someone got him first. 

[mbti-maniacs]

I dated an ESTP for a while and before that we were bets friends and just... All of this is TRUE. And he’d get really freaked out about the fact that I could read him like a book. I knew him better than he knew himself (As an Ni-dom, it’s what I do.). At least until he started looping and TURNED INTO A GIANT DICK! But, regardless, I absolutely love ESTPs ...especially when I’m the only one who can make them squirm because I read them so well and they’re not used to having their layers pulled away.

AND it’s amazing when you do that. When you get past all of their layers and defenses and they’re just such sweeties and omg I am getting fuzzies, shoo!

[mbti-maniacs]

I have a specific question regarding Fi vs. Fe. What are the likely responses from these types in conflict? I'm an Fi (my most dominant function actually) and whenever there's any potential for conflict, I just want to run away from it or avoid it (I've lost SO MANY friends this way). Are Fes more like to actually resolve the conflict or....? Am I just a really cowardly INFP (heheheh)?

Well a Fi user is more likely to withdraw into themselves, which can often lead to an explosion of feelings if they’re bottled up for too long, while Fe users are more likely to be confrontational up front or not mention anything because they don’t want to rock the boat.

Any type can react in any way. It all depends on the motivation of the person. A Fe user will more likely think of what’s best for everyone involved while a Fi user is more likely to think of what’s best for themselves. This doesn’t mean one is selfish and one is selfless, it is simply the most natural response. It’s neither best to think of ones’ self or only of others constantly, nor is it healthy.

[mbti-maniacs]

What type do you think V from VforVendetta is?

I haven’t seen that film yet, but over at @funkymbtifiction he’s been typed as an INFJ with a compelling argument!

[mbti-maniacs]

Hi! (To Kassy, I think) I, too, am an INTJ/gemini. I'm excited because I don't see many of those out there. Just out of curiosity, and seeing as you run an MBTI blog, how commonly do you encounter people with this sign/type? It could be interesting to track the correlation.

I’ve never encountered another INTJ/Gemini combo, but I’ll be on the lookout for another one!

[mbti-maniacs]

Hey, I'm having trouble pinning down what type I am. I've determined that I use Ni Se Fe Ti but I don't know in which order. Could you explain some major differences between ISTPs and INFJs or some major differences between Ti and Ni doms. Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Well first let’s look at the inferior functions, because it’s often a lot easier to see what you have trouble with, while being blind to your strengths.

Inferior Se usually has trouble with seeing what’s going on around them. How aware are you of your surroundings? The people around you?

Dominant Ni is likely to get lost in thought quite a bit (not that other types don’t do this) and is constantly looking towards the future. Nearly always unless Se kicks in and then the INJ can have an impulsive, even wild streak. They see where things are headed and, while they see possibilities, they eliminate the ones that aren’t going to lead them to where they want until they have a clear path in their mind to where they are headed.

Inferior Fe can be rather inconsiderate without meaning to be, and when they do they often feel bad for what they’ve done. They want to make others around them comfortable (usually the people they care about the most) while often times trying to seem like they don’t care what others think of them, when in fact they really do - again, more with those closest to them.

Dominant Ti is all about what is logically right to you. You make your own logic.
