Hi Julian,

I'm finding so many like-minded people, and "common grounds" and statements that ring true to me that I'm feeling an "I'm OK" feeling and a kind of comfort that I hadn't felt in a loooong time.
It's almost too symbolic, the fact that I found this board doing a random search...! I mean, to be searching seems to be the typical 4 thing anyway :) I was obvioulsy searching for SOMETHING... but didn't know quite WHAT.
And suddenly this... Like you say, we've been lucky. It makes the searching all make sense and have a meaning - and not a waste of time :)


:
: Hi Fourtoo

: Your description is exactly as I felt when I discovered this place...I couldn't have expressed it better myself. We have both been lucky.

: Julian

: : : : 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.
