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.

5) Embrace the peace and serenity that is offered to me each and every moment.

Actually, I still often question my level of intelligence simply because old habits and low-self esteem are difficult to break. But, anyways, let me see if I can articulate this realization I had recently..

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

I must be the “INTP friend of yours” -_- Not exactly kittens and rainbows, people set ultra-high expectations you know you’ll never exceed so you stop trying because you know there’s no way you can live up to it
