nostr:npub1ulntzghcwqnzdqdz4vsqhsshlulzsjsetwgzm76xcpss6nzjy9xs0yzdch i have a warning on my bio about my posting volume. i like posting and chatting and can do it all day. i like to be connected to people all the time. opposite of my old computer job. so i'm thinking my next job should be something communications related.

nostr:npub1ulntzghcwqnzdqdz4vsqhsshlulzsjsetwgzm76xcpss6nzjy9xs0yzdch yes. when i'm not doing that, i'm usually texting people or doing errands. the job thing is a long story.

don't laugh

nostr:npub1gnxcgfn80yk2dgkdq6luj4p9cemajz85flcuxrkudlyn7pgya7jq3twfgl i run out of juice pretty quickly if i try to force myself to do things. when it comes to force, i'm more of a sprinter than a marathoner, and this is a pretty persistent pattern that goes back to early childhood, so i have it down as a core part of my personality. i'm not a forceful person to others either. more of a gentle encouragement type. i have a lot more patience for that than for applying force. and i respond better to gentle encouragement than to discipline. that's something my parents never understood, so they were never able to teach me basic life skills.

strange people make me curious. that's the main thing they do. maybe a bit afraid in some cases, but mostly curious.

sensible types: go outside and stop thinking so much

intuitive types: sit down and think a little more

nostr:npub1gnxcgfn80yk2dgkdq6luj4p9cemajz85flcuxrkudlyn7pgya7jq3twfgl people who go outdoors are usually motivated for it in some way or another. simply telling someone to touch grass is rather flippant because it provides no motivation at all and suggests that the idea of going outdoors for a walk or a hike never occurred to the person, which implies they're stupid. so it's unhelpful and mildly insulting.

nostr:npub1gnxcgfn80yk2dgkdq6luj4p9cemajz85flcuxrkudlyn7pgya7jq3twfgl i don't really feel rewarded or motivated for much of anything unless those conditions are satisfied.

nostr:npub1gnxcgfn80yk2dgkdq6luj4p9cemajz85flcuxrkudlyn7pgya7jq3twfgl nostr:npub15xsnuqy82djsptjt696cq4jw7mxcl9euz2lpxqdya5w655ctt6ss480uva opposites can attract, but here's one challenge with typology self-tests: introspection and self-image.

it's probably more accurate to let someone who knows you intimately take the test, but have them answer how they perceive you to be.

when it comes to walking and hiking, i think most people get a richer sensory experience from it than i do.

i've taken walks with people who will spot the smallest little thing in the corner of their eye that i completely failed to notice.

or people who will very actively explore streets and take detours when they're out walking.

compared to me, a lot of people are like dogs, constantly taking in the environment and exploring it.

in the Myers-Briggs type system, this is the most common type of person, and they're very sensuous people who get immersed in experiences. the S type.

i'm the N type. i get richer experiences inside of my own head than outside of it. i'm not always so good at paying attention to my environment. i'm better at noticing how things fit together and what's underneath them. and then i don't need the stimulus anymore. it loves on in my vivid imagination.

nostr:npub1jdnjk3rursksr6s6sc4wdst4ag9sf9fvrnqc7f5mfsegps07gh2q42ycw3 if you're extroverted, you'll typically tend to go outside more often. most people don't have their entire social life in a single building. being extroverted and also outdoorsy is an extremely common combination.

some people enjoy being indoors. it's comfortable here. i don't get hot or cold. all the things i need are here. i only walk if i'm going somewhere, which is what legs are for.

so just replace "introverted" with "indoorsy" and read my original post again.

in other words, your attitude is still condescending.

noen er opptatt av å bevare det norske språket og hindre påvirkning fra engelsk.

for andre har ikke dette noen verdi overhodet, fordi språk kun er et verktøy og det viktigste er at man får uttrykt følelser. verktøy bytter man ut som det måtte passe.

dette er til syvende og sist et verdispørsmål.

det fins få rasjonelle argumenter for eller imot å beholde språket. språk oppstår, endrer seg og dør ut hele tiden.

skulle vi bevart noe, så skulle det vært norrønt, slik Island gjorde. det vi snakker i dag likner mer på nedersaksisk og engelsk enn det likner norrønt, for ellers hadde vi jo alle forstått islandsk like godt som svensk eller dansk.

man kan på en måte si at det egentlige norske språket er dødt allerede. svartedauden og hansatiden tok knekken på det.

you say go touch grass. i say go touch heaven.

i think i may have figured out one reason why it's so difficult for me to match people on dating sites...

i'm an INFP and my ideal match is an INFJ/ENFJ and they are rare.

INTJ/ENTJ could work on a conversational level, but i'd probably find her too cold and she'd find me too emotional.

swap out another letter and you get, ISFJ/ESFJ, which are common. it was my mother's type and i didn't get along with her well as an adult. emphatic and emotional but she didn't understand me because she was an S-type (sensing, sensible, practical) while i'm an N-type (iNtuitive, imaginative, thoughtful) so we constantly misunderstood each others emotional needs as adults.

from the description of the INFP (Mediator) personality type, that i appear to be:

> But because this personality type makes up such a small portion of the population, Mediators may sometimes feel lonely or invisible, adrift in a world that doesn’t seem to appreciate the traits that make them unique.

yeah, i feel this a lot, tbh. i mean, the way they write it is a bit "snow flakey", because i wouldn't use the word "appreciate". i don't generally assume i'm worthy of appreciation.

sometimes i don't go outside because i'd like to actually be presentable and comfortable to be around before i do that, but i don't have the energy.

nostr:npub1uxmmyz2nw8ys8npflt93m9yu5c8ewckp00xsu5g3aykvn836jt7qyxujtm i took it that way, but she needn't have done it for my sake

took a new Myers-Briggs test out of curiosity. got INFP (mediator type).

used to work as a software programmer. they're typically INTJ (architect type).

i can be an architect in an emergency, but the more life experience i gain, the less i identify with this kind of role or personality. i don't like being that cool, logical and methodical.

mediators want to listen, help and uplift. apparently it's a bit of a rare personality type.

nostr:npub1whnum8nhxdrrny6jnc3etx7n46m6wnt77ee7h2has2zsfjyyqdhshctwsa it was found in a writer's group. writers often have quite strong opinions and sharp tongues, so it makes sense that they would post something self-validating like that.

this is a trait on the Big Five personality scale that psychologists use.

bit of a judgmental way of describing someone who wants to reduce conflict and get along with others. the opposite would be disagreeable, blunt or inflexible.

yes, you always know where you've got a person like that, but they will not work with you and it's always their way or the highway.

they come across as a bit contrarian and flippant to people of the more agreeable type.

this rings very true to me

it's kind of easy to forget that simple and clean fashion, furniture and interior designs with pastel colours is a "Scandi" thing when you're surrounded by it everywhere you look in any city here and just consider it trendy and modern.

nostr:npub1qfkcklnmes45z75y7y8dkud5yll8vp5eq5ysk9rmgqdxeasv8unsrfj6kq it's always interesting when people from abroad call it "scandi" because we just call it "modern" or "trendy"
