Whenever you start liking someone do you think of them as boyfriend/girlfriend first or do u jump into long term compatibility as your life partner like husband/wife? Can you see the meaning behind dating?

I'm new to trading and my ig feed got filled with traders advertising their channels, bots, explaining strategies completely for free so I wanted to know what they're trying to achieve by this why would they pay for it to get advertised if the sources are free in the first place?

Where do those Instagram girlies get their bouquets from? I'm just curious to the point it became one of my bath thoughts

So before getting into anime I only perceived all of them as "anime cartoons" 😭. Even when I almost finished classic big 3 and multiple other anime in this genre I still get confused by seeing some popular characters sometimes even can't tell the difference between video game characters and anime characters (that thing happened with mita from miside) how do y'all remember the genre the characters so well?

I'm an ENTP with ISFP friend I've known since middle school, and lately I've been wondering whether this friendship is actually healthy because of how FUNDAMENTALLY different we are.

We met through the same friend group and stayed connected over the years, but I honestly can't think of many people whose minds work more differently than ours.

She tends to approach things through personal feelings, lived experiences, and emotional processing. If something happens, she wants to talk about how it felt, what it meant to her personally, and revisit those emotions until she fully processes them.

This difference has been present since we were teenagers. We used to debate constantly because we viewed the same situations through completely different lenses. I often thought we'd eventually drift apart because our perspectives rarely lined up. Instead, the opposite happened. Most of our old friends settled down, got married, or became busy with their own lives. Somehow she and I remained in contact.

The problem is that she has become much more emotionally invested in the friendship than I have. She's usually the one initiating contact, sending long voice messages, calling, asking to meet up, and discussing her feelings. Meanwhile, I often need space and can become extremely overwhelmed when conversations stay focused on the same emotional issue for a long time.

I don't dislike her. I appreciate our history and I care about her wellbeing. But sometimes I feel like we're speaking completely different languages. When she wants emotional comfort, I instinctively switch into a clown or problem solving mode. When I try to analyze something, she often responds from a personal or emotional perspective.

At times I've even tried creating distance through ghosting because I assumed we'd naturally drift apart due to these differences, but she always maintained contact.

So my question is can a friendship still be healthy when two people seem to have fundamentally different ways of understanding the world and relating to others? Or am I ignoring obvious incompatibilities because we've known each other for so long and I couldn't drift apart from her? I feel like I'm being unfair for faking care out of politeness towards her

What's your personal experience on this regardless of your dominant function?

I’ve been noticing something in my classes lately: the girls consistently score higher than the guys, and the difference feels almost absurd sometimes. I checked some statistics out of curiosity, and apparently women do tend to outperform men academically on average and make up a larger share of higher education graduates in many countries. But statistically the gap doesn’t even look that dramatic compared to how it feels in practice.

What confuses me is that even as a girl myself, I’m not exactly a disciplined or hardworking student. I procrastinate a LOT and barely function academically most of the time, yet I still somehow end up with relatively good grades. Part of me wonders how much of that comes from the grading system itself being partly subjective. Since teachers are human, I feel like there’s sometimes an unconscious, biased expectation that female students are “better students,” more organized, more responsible, etc. I genuinely think being a girl has saved my grades a few times because teachers may perceive the same behavior differently depending on gender.

But at the same time, it’s not only teacher bias. Even during fully computer-based tests where grading is automatic, I still tend to score higher than most of my male classmates. Maybe there’s some social pressure or instinct that pushes girls to at least prepare the night before. For example, this week around half of my male classmates failed an exam, while none of the girls did.

I’m curious what sociological explanations people have for this. Is it socialization? Different expectations placed on guys and girls? Differences in discipline, risk-taking, motivation, or the way schools are structured? Or am I just observing a very specific environment and overgeneralizing from it?

So I recently got close to one of my classmates who's most likely istp. We take the same bus after class and holy nuts that guy talks A LOT. The thing is before changing my route we used to talk a little but not as frequently as we do now. He was super quiet before it but once we got more time together I started seeing him differently my entire understanding toward him changed. Like how did he pull so many things to say outta thin air 😭. The funny thing is he's not the only one istp I know who talks a lot but there are a couple more they got super chatty once comfortable as well.

Would you be okay with this or lose your interest especially if you are socially passive? Would you judge her for not following norms?
