Everyone says I'm apathetic, but I don't care.

nowaddthefrosting:

I’ve been getting a lot of “nice idea but don’t overthink it!” on returned papers. I get it, they want neat and concise. Which is something I don’t know how to do unless I consider every argument from every angle, sub-angle and tangent to make sure I’m bulletproof in what I’m trying to prove. This is precisely why I run out of time and never get to shave things down like I mean to before they’re turned in.

Sometimes I forget that this is just one damn assignment of hundreds that will be speed-graded according to a fairly straight-forward rubric. I could have written the same paper, possibly better, in a fraction of the time and effort. Nobody’s hunting me down and trying to force me to thoroughly expand on the reasoning behind every sentence, or even expecting me to know half the things I try to talk about.

I annoy myself, what else is new!

I do this a lot. I also tend to engage a lot in classrooms, which is odd, because I’m usually indifferent to my surroundings. I know I’ve annoyed some of my professors in the past because I tend to play devil’s advocate with myself. A lot of what I say ends up like this:

narcissablacks:

• Demons
• 
• Humans
• 
• The Winchesters
• 
• Angels
• 
• His best buddy Castiel
• 
• God
• 

• Dude hated everything.

If only someone had reached out to him and handed him a bowl.

Let it be known that INTPs:

- Are truthful. This means we may value truth and honesty over sadistic lies.
- Are personable. They’re called Ti-Glasses. They let you see all kinds of cool shit without getting emotionally involved.
- Are nice people! Just don’t fuck with or misinterpret their notions!
- Are passionate about their convictions.
- Are uncomfortable with words like “passionate”.
- When underdeveloped, consider emotional investment scary.
- Say or post things that may seem personal, which really aren’t. Take my signature, for example.
- Cannot stand disharmony, but sure love entropy.
- Have probably already considered or thought about most things you’ve just mentioned, just won’t necessarily vocalize it.
- Will ask for clarification, assuming their ego is not large enough to impede them from doing so without first attempting to figure it out themselves. Oops.
- Have their egos stroked every time you call them “weird” or “nerdy”.
- Will load their brains with copious detail, but will simplify things just for you. Told you, we’re nice.
- Feel like a child without Christmas every time their mental fruit is rejected.
- Do love. But it may be referred to as a violent influx of catecholamines that overwhelms better reason.
- When underdeveloped, may have a love/hate relationship with their object of affection. Or just about everything.
- Can be walking encyclopedias. Please deposit a $1 for data relay.
- Care about enlightening people. Care about people who care about people.
- Have the attention span of a mango. May stare attentively at a mango and zone out for several minutes.
- Go from “spoon” to “thromboses” in ≤2.5 seconds.
- Have hearts that flutter like birds… Lifeless, zombie birds.
- Frequently feel the urge to incinerate the human race and feed its corpses to Cerberus when something goes wrong.
- Are uncomfortable with absolute certainties and permanence.
- Think they’re wrong before you even get the chance to think so. Criticize their work worse than you do, before you do.
- Are creative writers, and friendly just like those cute and flimsy NFs.
- Have UNDISCLOSED feelings and desires.
- Come in layers.
- May be volatile. May explode. May go into Hedgehog Mode like fucking Sonic and impale retarded muthafuckaz.
- Like being asked questions on the possibility that they might have not thought about that before. It happens.
- Naturally see the world as someone would see it under the influence of shrooms.
- Are disappoint*. All the time. Because even though existence is wonderful, humanity sucks.
- Tend to look serious and grumpy. It’s called Deep Thought Syndrome. Do not approach. They will mentally kill you with fire.
- Must CORRECT, at all costs, because cool kids care about semantics.
- Always need to be reminded. Always need to modify. Will weave in random contexts. Antarctica looks like a duck.
- Will do whatever the hell they want with whatever the hell they want, with reason, so long as it doesn’t unjustly harm another human being.
- Say one thing one day and a different thing the other. Their minds are malleable and adaptable.
- Quickly see the point. As well as 3452345 others.
- Worry that you will miss the point.
- Have 25 different faces with 25 different people. None of these 25 faces are untrue to themselves. Whatever their self is. They don’t care.
- Are rained on and reigned by fascination and intrigue.
- Think like excitable children, never really losing their sense of wonder.

*Intentional, you fucking grammar Nazis.

Reblogging again, because I like this list. I want to highlight certain things here, but then I’ll want to comment on or highlight everything just because of how true they all are.

Most of the ones I want to highlight are related to how frustrating it is talking to some people when I see their point and they don’t see mine. What makes me sad is that I could show this to people for whom it would be useful in order to understand those such as myself, but it would be pointless because it would be boring to them and they would not be interested or value it. I’ve tried similar things before. 

Also can anyone explain to me why ‘disappoint’ doesn’t have an ‘ed’? I understand that it’s intentional, but why it is written this way confuses me.

‘Disappoint’ is a tumblr thing like ‘feels’ instead of feelings or ‘i can’t even’ instead of i can’t even form a coherent sentence to accurately express myself in this instance. 

intpthoughts:

I don’t really know the tumblr etiquette. Are you supposed to follow people back when they follow you, regardless of if you like their content? I don’t want to do that. 

Also, I don’t know how to spell etiquette without spell check. Do you? (Well, if you hadn’t just read this post.)

Unless you advertise as following back, no. Though I have followed a few people who I didn’t know followed back and now I think to myself:

“If I unfollow someone who follows me, I wonder if that would offend them? They could simply unfollow me back of course - but what if they’ve mistaken my follow for something resembling loyalty and an unfollow would destroy their last shred of faith in humanity? They would begin to question their self worth, especially if I unfollowed them, because if someone like me unfollowed them, they might come to conclude that I believe their blog to be inferior to my own as opposed to simply being of differentiated content, and judging my own blog to be inferior prior to the unfollowing, a wave of uncertainty and insecurity overtakes them. Like Big Rhonda being rejected by Eric on That 70’s Show in that It’s a Wonderful Life episode. Sure, things worked out well for Rhonda in that instance, but I don’t want to hurt anyone. Wait, what? It’s just an unfollow. No one will care. Right? RIGHT?!”
