I’ve got a holiday booked coming up (within the UK but still I’m so excited).

I thought of what if I miss it by forgetting about it. Then thought of the scenario where I realise it was two days earlier and I forgot.

Then thought of how upset I’d be, this would be the most tragical thing to happen to me, I remembered how much I sobbed the last time I was deeply upset (which happens really rarely, now that I’m older, thank goodness) and I imagined so well how much I would sob so loudly, that I actually had tears go down my cheeks thinking about it.

And that’s how I know I’m enfp 4w3 lol

Don’t worry I’ve also imagined this holiday going really well :)

I sajd wanna come over ;)

He said “are you gonna make it worth it?”

I said “are you?”

He said “I mean I will. Will you?”

What should I reply? I also do want him to come over lol I was just displeased with him saying that.. feels immature. So looking for a comeback that might still leave it open for us to meet lol

Thinking of just being like “I’m good in bed if that’s what you mean”

Anyone got anything better?

For me if I was ever told “youre so sparkly” I’d melt and I’d think about it for ages lol.

I’ve been told “you are a unicorn” that was nice!! I lapped that up hahah

Saw this on Reddit thought id share.

knock knock

use the doorbell please

ding Dong

Who’s there?

You, youre the ding dong for ruining my knock knock joke

They said “my friend had the quickest comeback”

Edit: this starts with an if, i don’t intend to do anything. This was a hypothetical and no one needs to be concerned about me! I’m not intending to end my life or anything

I’m living in student halls (student accommodation) for only the next three days.

Meaning if I want to take my own life I’ve only got three days to do it.

I feel so complicated. I’m 23. I feel more complicated than most people. And I hate it. I feel fearful of how complicated I am as a person. I don’t want more to be wrong with me than already is. And don’t say self awareness will help me, I’m too self aware that’s part of the problem. And I’m worried about the future and worried about myself. Sometimes I feel like I’m not enough. Or I don’t accept myself and my neurodivergence. This is not just about neurodivergence obviously. I feel so worried and so complex. Like I’m too complex for the world to understand me. I am joyful and cheerful and have been doing fun things with my summer. But I feel so different and feel like I’m not enough. I’ve never known anyone as complicated as me. Maybe I don’t have enough self acceptance. But I definitely don’t need more self awareness. And I don’t want to have fear. I have trauma too

I sometimes just think I could end this and it would then never get worse.

I wish I was 15 again I was so depressed then but at least I didn’t feel as complex like my identity didn’t feel as complicated then. I feel like I just want to be less, like I want to be one solid like personality that’s the same in every environment and be simple like everyone else. I’m like a different person in different situations. I don’t like being so complicated. The shifts don’t feel conscious. But also I don’t have amnesia so that rules out conditions like DID. I’m a different person at uni and at home even if I’m not being seen by anyone, at uni I’m different. I am just different based on environment. Different with friends, family, if it’s September and I’m partying I’m like a completely different personality. It’s distressing to me. And makes me feel complex and I hate that and I fear being even more complex than I already am. This is what I need advice on if possible not just telling me to not end my life I won’t anyway!

I just played this game with my sister in person at a restaurant while we were waiting for our food it was so fun! We picked emojis out of our heads, she came up with a great story about 🦄🔨 it involved Zeus sending storms to destroy a unicorns cliffside home but the town help him rebuild it with a hammer.

Here’s mine!

I would be interested to read your stories inspired by a 2-3 emojis. Even more wonderful if you can add once upon a time on the beginning it’s always wonderful when stories say that

This is what I came up with on the spot for “monkey” “handbag” “shooting star”

🐒👜💫

(Once upon a time)

There was a handbag that was the most beautiful handbag you had ever seen! In fact you couldn’t even imagine it, it was that beautiful. It was made of all the most beautiful materials in the world. And it had tassels that changed colour like the forest that changes colour

It’s silk that sewed it together was spun by fairies!!

And it had paisley prints inspired by the king in India, his rugs

And it was just radiant

And it was owned by a princess, no a Queen!

And she had wanted to get a pet monkey

But her king was disapproving of her getting a monkey

So to punish her he said I’m taking your handbag, your most worldly possession and I’m getting rid of it

So he sent it out of the universe!!

And that’s actually why we can’t imagine it because we can only comprehend things in this cosmos

And we don’t even know where it went!

So to get it back you have to go to Professor Caledon

He has omnivision glasses and he can see out of this universe and into the next and the next! He has omni vision multiversal glasses

And so he can see the exact pin point placement of this magical handbag in the universe like a laser beam!

But you can only get to where it is by shooting star

So the next time a shooting star docks on earth (like it does of course)

The Queen decides to get on it with her pet monkey and they go and retrieve the handbag

And so they ride the shooting star across the universe!

But when they bring it back to Earth the king is upset and angry and says how did you do that!

And he makes a fuss

And no matter it’s okay because she goes to the pocket of the handbag and there’s some fairy dust! It contains a wish

So she blows it onto him out of her palm and it turns him into a toad!

HAHAHHAA. All three ENTJs I’ve been mates with and we’ve made a Spotify blend and it was their idea 😂 I’m grateful for the existence of Spotify blends man

I’m in my last year, graduating soon. Psychology degree. I definitely want to stay in my city (which is also my home city). I’m expecting a First but have limited work experience!

*Masters possibilities*

I’ve got a few ideas for masters courses but don’t love the sound of any of them to commit to ONE. I heard I can apply up until Sep 2026 for entry in Sep 2026. Two of them are psychology masters at my uni. Two of them are at the other uni near me.

Maybe I could see if there’s a Community Psychology degree somewhere near the south west. I’d probably enjoy doing a masters in community psychology.

*Summer ideas*

My plan for the summer is volunteering (but that’s only one day a week). And hobbies. I will also apply to volunteer at a mental health charity. Hopefully I get it but it’s volunteering so hopefully they take me and so I can build work experience.

Also there’s an opportunity this summer for a research internship at my uni. It’s 8 weeks. I’m gonna apply.

I’ll probably live at home for the summer (in the same city as my uni).

But I haven’t even sorted out accommodation for next year!! I’m hoping - seeing as I haven’t decided if I’m doing a masters or not - a landlord will let me take a room in a student house (i expect joint tenancy agreement) - for if I am a student status OR if I’m a “young professional”. Then I can get accommodation and settle that without having pressure to decide if I’m going a masters

I’ll do a masters anyway, the question is just if I should take a year off first, working, or if I should go straight into it. I do LOVE psychlogy and research.

Other than that, I have no idea what I want to do next year. Can anyone give advice?

*My work experience history* : I’ve only had 2 jobs in my life, both were hospitality. One was for a year. The other was for nearly 2 years. Both were several years ago - I don’t think I even have references from these jobs because the team leaders I was under don’t even work there anymore.

So I feel like I don’t have much work experience!! I have workplace anxiety - I feel I’d worry about getting fired.

I know a lot of people work for a year in ANY job like working at tescos or something. I would only manage this for about two 8 hour shifts a week if it was something that mundane. If I had to do this for a year I would need to be studying on the side (if not straight into a masters, then a Level 1 course somewhere).

And also then how would I make friends and stuff? I love being on a uni campus and being in a student community

There are some careers I’m interested in: CBT therapist, community psychologist. But I want to stay in my area and don’t know how much I’m committed to just one career idea.

Thanks!

Cognitive function brainrot - I am too aware of cognitive functions, in myself and other people.

Since I learned cognitive functions it’s all I see - how do you forget this? How do I see people without this? How do I describe someone like they’re funny attentive etc, instead of thinking they’re Fe dom or Te aux or whatever.

My own thoughts are always wrapped around my cognitive functions. I am using metacognition (thinking about thinking) and self-analysis too much

I have anxious thoughts like

“Am I not Ne dom anymore because I haven’t had ideas lately. But people say stack can’t change. But what if I’m the exception and I’m a freak case. What function am I using now? How do I know”

I JUST WANT TO THINK NORMALLY INSTEAD OF THIS

I see Fe in everyone now. I prefer Fe, i think people should have Fe. Then I worry “am I not a Fi user anymore”. I look at my phone notes, personal diaries, possessions, memories - I find evidence that I’m still a Fi user

I’ve developed my functions and have pretty balanced functions, causes me to feel like some types one day and some types another day because my functions are at pretty even levels.

I go on dating apps and feel like I know their type. Everyday at some point, I know if my own thoughts are Ne or Ni or Te or Ti or whatever.

I think things like “right I’m gonna Te this out”. I exercise my Ti and Ne and enjoy it. I want to tap into my Fi again that I neglected probably due to trauma of having high Fi (and I then worked to lower the Fi intentionally)

This is besides the point. HOW DO I FORGET THIS STUFF. I WOULD LOVE TO NOT THINK ABOUT COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS FOR A MONTH
