: : I also wanted to thank EVERYONE for expressing themselves, for being honest, for all this fourness and bit of fiveness that I'm finding fascinating... and so wonderful.
: : I found this board by chance, and am SO glad i did! I don't know if I should or can even be here, but it is helping me so much, to read through posts and realize that I'm not crazy... that it's not a bad thing to analyze and think so much through things, and it's simply helping me come to terms with the fact that I have to find a balance between my "ideal" world and the real one we live in. The fact that we make our own reality and have options and can change things...
: : It's just that I am coming accross so many statements and thought that I identify with and are SO like my own that it amazes me and makes me happy :)
: : So, again, thank thank you.
: [JASON] I want to echo your thoughts, fourtoo. I also found the boards by chance (and the Four board seems to be the best - I like Margaret's "typing the boards" post on the Main Board) and just a couple of weeks ago, but they are indeed useful and interesting (and addictive, and though-provoking...etc.).
: From your description of what you like about the boards, you sound like a Five. Is this indeed the case (I'm a 5w4, and the 4's decided to take pity on me and let me post here!).
I'm a 4w5 - "The Bohemian" - it's ME! With the 4 and 5 really close. I maybe sound like a five in moments of "rationality", when i think I've found an explanation or when I'm in my analytical mode, but I know I'm a 4, wow, i really am. When I read the type description it blows me away. It's almost scary to see oneself so perfectly described... scary and reassuring... and embarassing... in a good way :) Because it's important to be able to accept things and not be ashamed.
I mean, things like admiting that we feel self-pity, and become so angry at ourselves when things go wrong... in my case, feeling guilty and personally responsible for anything that goes wrong...!
It's so easy to go on an on.
But again, I am SO grateful for having found this board.... I also found it doing a random search, like I belive Julian mentioned he did - and what can I say, it's basically CHANGED MY LIFE overnight. I can't believe it. I was starting to feel crazy and misunderstood... and suddenly, it all feels right.
It's really wonderful.
And I hope this feeling lasts long :)
Thanks.
