So...

I have noticed that there is lots of loneliness on this forum. Does anyone want to meet up with others on this forum. Don't shoot! ;)

I know that INTJs are socially awkward and all of that, but what about getting a little more personal with each other. There is just so much "I don't have any friendness" on these threads. I know its really difficult to trust people... I don't. That said, it seems to me that there are some really cool people on this forum.

How about taking a holiday or meeting up by state, or something?

Discuss.

Or some of us could become pen (keyboard?) pals.

You know what? I have met other INTJs here in Orlando Florida and expressed an interest to hang out or date, or what ever based on things we talk about here. And without fail they always run away. Why are we so awkward? I am really frustrated with INTJs myself included.

I was recently told that people live their life out of love, or they live their life out of fear. I think many of us are the latter of the two and I have taken it upon myself to work on that.

I would enjoy meeting others!

Doesn't that get tiring eventually?
I mean how much can one really write about.

Depends on how much one is willing to write about (or argue about) and how much time one is willing to waste.

Aren't we already keyboard pals of a sort? I think meeting face to face is something you guys should seriously think about. It will also help with getting a little more social. Push past your comfort zones a little. How else are we going to learn to improve ourselves?

I'm wondering whether this is a byproduct of caution and planning out life on absolute avoidance of failure. The only way I can get myself to do things with a chance of failure is to accept them as inevitabilities. Maybe we take failings too seriously.

You do have a point, the most efficient way to gain social skills is to use them in their original context and such skills are sorely needed for those pesky job interviews. However geographical proximity still remains a problem, since it would be extremely coincidental to live near each other.

Could we mathematize this by asserting that 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + ... + 0 = 1?

(Hee! Hee!)

Yes... you all DO take failing too seriously. Failure is a part of life. Like you said, it is inevitable. If you see something you want, GO FOR IT! You never know, you may be surprised by the outcome! Really! TRY IT. I've done it. Don't be afraid to fail. I have in my life, but I learned soooo much, that although it hurt, it all went to a greater good. I learned things that I now can tap into to help me through the rest of my life.

Yep! Practice makes perfect. Don't let your flaws keep you back. Work on them, you'll be a better person for it. I am speaking from experience, I am not groping around in the dark here.
