Hello little ponies! I'm brainstorming ideas and searching for clever/unhinged quotes from the original books. What are your favorite lines?

Hi fellow ENFPs! I'm facing a very Ne issue which is - I have no idea what I want to do with my life. I want to do everything so I end up doing nothing. I'm 21, finished my uni and realized I'm not completely fond of my major I just thought the diploma would be useful so I kept pushing and graduated! yay! I know I can still use my experience in my future regardless whether or not I switch my career path. truthfully, I REALLY want to switch but I can't figure out what I want. I'm interested in arts, psychology, philosophy, sociology, media studies, communication, graphic design... the problem is that I don't know what to focus on. I need a clear, set-in-stone goal so I can concentrate all my energy into achieving it.

to other ENFPs out here: what helped you figure out what your dream career/major is? was your path linear or did you experiment a lot? how did you figure out what's "yours?"

Which one is more optimal for Yae? My team is Wrio C2/ Odette/ Yae C1 / Nicole

whenever I watch movies or come across characters that are ENFP I often see myself as them, more often than I relate to INFP characters, which oddly enough rarely happens.

does this happen to others?

hello there! I'm a bachelor's student trying to finish my soc science thesis. I only have ~20 days to write 12 000-14 000 words. I already chose research questions, aim, theory and method, also wrote a big chunk of introduction and previous research part (around 4000 words).

my writing style is quite disorganized and I struggle with narrowing down my ideas. I often end up writing too much information just because I found it interesting to mention (it often isn't even relevant and I end up exceeding the word count).

I'm not very good at filtering information in a structured way. research is definitely my strength but the word limit and strict guidelines of my department are forcing me to narrow down my ideas so much that I lose confidence in my own ability to write an all-encompassing and interesting thesis.

I would love any technical and/or emotional tips on how to finish my thesis without losing my mind. if someone here has written a good thesis in a short period of time, what helped you?

thank you very much in advance!

(edit: please do not suggest any ai tools, they make me even more disconnected from my overly clattered paper)

just a random 3AM thought which I'll delete in the morning.

i think there is a correlation between being raised as an only child and becoming an INFP.

because I grew up with not a lot of friends or kids my age around me, I would spent most of my time coming up with different ideas, scenarios and ways to keep myself occupied, mostly in a form of escapism. i'd imagine being friends with fictional characters, traveling to imaginary places, and I loved journaling, drawing, crafting - anything that had to do with creating. this led me to become quite comfortable with my own company. I wouldn't call myself lonely per se, but there is genuinely something deeply comforting in being by myself.

and because growing up I was mostly surrounded by adults (parents, relatives etc.), I'd find it easier conversing with adults rather than kids my age. I'd sometimes get super attached to my teachers from school and often found conversations with them more engaging than those with my classmates. I'd often get compliments for being mature for my age. this odd pull towards parental figures in my life probably comes from having a disfunctional family, which is quite common for only children.

I've heard this INFP stereotype that we are attracted to mature, strong figures which balance us out. although I'm not sure if that's actually logical and of course attraction varies from person to person. I've always preferred fictional crushes over pursuing real people since I found one-sided imaginary relationships more fulfilling than what I saw in the real world.

being an only child also made it harder for me to persue my own interests and dreams, because I was carrying the expectations of my entire family - who had only me to project their expectations onto. this made me hyper dependent on everyone's approval when it came to big decisions. all this made the adult me quite aimless and unsure of myself, although now I'm working on finding ways to turn my ideas and goals into tangible results and learn to see myself as competent enough to achieve my goals (basically faking having Te).

I'd say I've grown into quite healthy version of myself over the past few years - I used to be stereotypical INFP until I began developing myself as a person. I am no longer looking for ways to escape my life, I don't take things personally, I don't seek approval, I regulate my emotions, don't see others' emotions as mine to fix and I'm abusing the hell out of my Ne - meaning that I'm not afraid to experiment in my life, and I use my Ne as a tool to utilize Te.

what really helped me grow was turning all my "silly" traits into strengths. being an INFP and looking at your function stack for the first time feels quite depressing - we are made out to be social outcasts with no utility for society. which is a big fat lie and I'd argue that the world desperately needs INFPs only if they started to leave their shell and used their functions to inspire others and follow their dreams.

back to the topic. the social aspect of my life is quite polarizing - I have a few friends who I consider my family, and the rest of the people barely know who I am since I'm very selective with whom I share my inner world with.

overall, I think the way I was raised, and how my family dynamics manifested themselves deeply shaped my cognition.

I know there will be many INFPs who have siblings - or perhaps ESTJ only children out there. if you are one of the two ESTJs in this subreddit - hello! nice having you here today.
this post was not created to dismiss you, I'm just speaking from my own experience.

if you read this far, good for you, I wasn't expecting anyone to finish reading this

Hi! I am looking for an old fantasy movie (coloured, watched a dubbed version as a kid from eastern europe) where bunch of people go on an underwater expedition with a submarine and find a woman living under the ocean alone. The woman might not even be the main character I just remember her segment.

All Characters can somehow breathe underwater and act the same way as on land. The film itself has 70s 80s vibes.

The woman which the crew meets is blonde with short pixie haircut. They ask about her backstory - what's she doing living in the ocean alone. and there's a flashback from her past: a scene showing that she had a boyfriend in the past who was feeding her chocolate, the girl's father was angry at the boyfriend so after a conflict the girl jumps in the ocean and that's why she lives underwater. there is also a scene where she sings a famous song but I don't remember.

this sounds like I'm describing a fever dream. if someone finds this scene familiar please let me know!

I personally hate shopping malls - crowd, loud music, and worst of all - repetitive, underwhelming clothing consisting of same colours and designs. Every time I went to a mall I got physically and mentally overwhelmed, ended up with sore feet and no piece of clothing that I liked. so I always to to vintage/secondhand stores because of the diversity. I like the idea that each piece of clothing is unique. there is also so much diversity within each shop since all products have a different origin. not to mention most of the mass produced brands use low quality fabrics and are highly unsustainable

I don't own Cyno because of his god-awful play-style BUT i'm considering it rn...

What changed in his kit?
