Sighh, still haven’t found a friend at college to have intelligent meaningful conversations with. >.< Someone I could explore the deeper meanings of everything with, together expanding our minds to encompass the…
So what you’re saying is, you haven’t yet found a soulmate in college.
I am literally a failure how is it possible to fail at life this hard omg
because what you may consider a failure, other people call Tuesday
Our understanding of how we decide has evolved dramatically over the past 20 years, and it paints a messy picture. Rather than logical conclusions based on clear needs and preferences, choices are often just the slim visible portion of a rowdy internal struggle, pitting conflicting ideas and beliefs against each other. Even our most certain conclusions turn out to be stories we create after the fact, convincing ourselves that we’ve preferred chocolate to vanilla all along.
I think I’m getting the hang of this post thing.
1) See the good in every human being.
2) Shift the focus of my awareness away from myself, my needs, and and my expectations. To see the world as others see it, at minimum, and to see the world as it actually is, at best.
3) Ponder the things I don’t know anything about, and also the breadth of my lack of knowledge.

I was talking to an INTP friend of mine and was surprised to find…

Not out of depression or despair, but because I just want to devote myself to one area of study and just learn everything and anything about it. I’m at my best late at night in the library, headphones in my ears, surrounded by a fortress of books.

I yearn to fix the world. Everything from botany, to education, to basic politics, to religion, to a free market system, to drugs, to anything else I feel the urge to research. Nothing else feels worthy of accomplishment by comparison, and even though I can’t know if I could do any of these to completion, I must try.
