The bigger the contrast between your authentic mood and the false act, the more drained you're going to feel. There's a reason acting is a paid career. To me it feels like being pulled from my mind and then thrown into an unrelated animated discussion halfway through. It's hard to...

Alien: Romulus felt like Alien: The theme park ride, complete with spot the reference exercises and goofy animatronic heads screaming in your face. It had good moments but overall it was clearly designed to be a crowd pleaser and lacked a sense of thoughtful artistic vision. As far as theme...

If it's a post-apocalyptic scenario, then I call leader. I would be running this shithole from now on.

It's an interesting implication that there are people who are still positioned on the fence in such a way that seeing one candidate get shot at is what would compel them to vote in that direction. It really tells you something about how politics in general works. Dramatise uncertainty and...

After that 'up yours' video, I think he seems like someone who has had or is having some kind of breakdown. I also think he is very clearly a type one, not a five.

It does sound like something someone might say to invalidate the struggles of a perspective they don't understand, but I also think that this is a common misuse of the term. I imagine overthinking as something like anxiety or a lack of self discipline as it applies to your own thoughts. A...

I don't like the stereotype in general of introverted types as sitting on a window sill with a book, netflix, a cat, headphones and a mug of cocoa, watching the raindrops slide down the window. INFJs in particular are portrayed as gentle peacekeepers who don't mind endlessly supporting others...

I think introversion is glorified precisely because it is not understood, which enables some to make a spectacle of their oppression for validation, instead of enacting real change.

It seems overly reductive. Unlike reality, you can cheat at a game, which implies you can step outside of it in some way. You can deduce what kind of game you are playing and ideally choose whether or not to partake or break the rules. Essentially, a game is an abstraction of reality and...

There's a video here. You can watch the video. You can ignore it and share whatever thoughts you have anyway, or you can watch most of it and skim through a few parts, like I did. Or you can ignore the thread altogether. Whilst I think there are both potential positives and negatives to...

So, yes.

Is the real test to see whether or not we identify the test itself as misinformation? Scoring high could ironically indicate gullibility.

It's a good question. I've often doubted the possibility for psychology, or any subject for that matter, to be completely objective and impartial in its perspective. Any person who evaluates another through the lens of psychology is themselves biased by their own psychology. In which case a...

The basic issue seems to be that psychology analyzes men solely for the sake of controlling or reprimanding their behaviour in some way, rather than to understand them or engage with them at a more compassionate human level. The proposition of a deeper insecurity or pain driving mens behaviour...

I can see the point here, but I'd say the problem is applicable to many labels, not just introversion. I don't think it is helpful to brand people with a social disability because they don't conform to the culture. You could similarly say that identifying as an extrovert is problematic because...
