Why INTJs are Optimistic Nihilists 

The random acts of kindness really touches me as well… I rarely cry except when I’m overwhelmed by the beauty of something.

"I'd rather die while I'm living than live while I'm dead." Yup, death is inevitable so while I do think about it my focus is to get from life the most of what I'm interested in.

I am a 15-year-old INTJ, and I think what keeps me going is my goal. I have been through a lot of trauma and what always helped me through the hell of life was being able to relate to characters in fiction that had harder things happen to them, but they got up anyway. I want to be an author and if I can help just one other person like me to know they're not alone, then I think it's worth it. It also helps my mental health to write characters that reflect what I feel.

I'm currently with my mom as she is actively dying. My Ni/Fi are intense witnessing this end of life stage. The timing of your video gives me a sense of peace regarding this intensity. I'm grappling with a lot. You thanked us for being here but I want to thank YOU for being here! This video was so timely. I'll be back soon to offer a short audio reflection.

I am in my early 20s, the world at a large feels hopeless, there is a lot you cannot change, however you can improve and help people and things around you, thats where the positivity comes from for me. I can seem p negative and am still behind in that aspect when I see what certain people do, but in the end I will never stop trying to improve myself and help those who deserve it because I am set in trying to make the future better whether I feel like it or not, whether I am sad or happy, hopeless or hopeful, I will never stop trying to better things around me. If its too unrealistic to change the world or yourself in a big way start in the smallest way you can then have it grow to something bigger down the line.

I will put this one on the list of things that make me think I am mistyped as an INTJ. Personally, I actively rejected nihilism, absudism and pessimism and so on, mostly due to incongruences with epistemological, ontological and even linguistic principles. I am unable to express in words how better my life became after I found a positive and optimistic-realistic outlook on life and existence as a whole. Reading Viktor Frankl’s technical works was responsible for such change of perspective. My perspectives on the human condition and suffering were not just a result of direct or indirect experience, but also of intellectual inquiry. “To be a man is to be responsible”. Thus, to claim one or more of these perspectives as lenses is a choice and, as such, it is wise to choose the one that will give you the sharpest of images instead of darnkened vision and headaches

Fun Fact: as a Senior in HS I did a presentation on how much it costs to die. My teacher said it was morbid. I said that it's just reality. Didn't take the MBTI til 28yrs later, but a fun coincidence.

You articulated it so well, i felt understood and validated. It touched deeply, brought tears! For me throught of death is never so far away that it would generate unimaginable fear in me. I had processed inevitability lf mortality when i was young. So, In my college years, i developed this thinking, that that "if I die tomorrow, how would i like to have lived my life while I am alive and have least regeret?" And for me the answer was by learning something new everyday, doing my best in whatever I do as work,". I used to pained by all the things you mentioned but now my profession allows me to do something meaningful for the people and I am happy channeling my energy into it. And I dont watch/read news/newspaper. I can't, the way news has become so superficial and subjective now. For the question you asked: despite all the bad in the world, what gets me going is "i am alive today and I should do my best and use it to learn/do something new or what I like." And in adverse situation, i determine and promise my self that i will go ahead and test my own limits of perseverance and potential till it reaches my inner core, i will leave/detach myself from it at that point. And i have come to experience that once i convince my mind, detachment comes very easy to me. So here it goes, my life philosophy, i ended up mentioning fully here for the first time in my life. I find most people either dont understand or feel uncomfortable when I start explaining.

I’m an INFJ and I relate so much to this. I am a very nihilistic person in the sense that I don’t expect goodness from humanity and this reality and yet like you said just witnessing the small random acts of kindness sometimes bring me to tears because it’s just enough hope. I don’t have many friends, especially those that actually understand me but I know I am always understood by my INTJ friends. Thank you, this made my day. 🖤🖤

I'm happy you brought up this topic because it is one that I think, as an INTJ, we can often feel isolated in ruminating on because of the "taboo" nature of the subject of death. As someone who has always been able to kind of casually talk about the subject with ease, I know a lot of people get uneasy because it reminds them of their own mortality, where as I'm simply looking at it as something that WILL happen at some point in time. For me personally, my reality can get pretty grim if I let it, which is why I make it a habit to NOT engage with dumpster fires like Twitter (X) or doom scrolling, because I know that is just a negative reinforcement of things my Ni is already well aware of, and mama-Te has prepared me to understand and except. Which is why for me, I also do not fear death. I see it as an inevitable point where if I want to accomplish something, I have until that final moment to do so. And there's also a sort of cold comfort in knowing that if things really feel like they are that bad, there WILL eventually be an end to it. What keeps me going though are the people that I've let into my tribe. Both family that is from genes or adopted through experience and life all become people who I want to do my best to support for as long as I am able. The complexities of balancing the "universal balance" are the things that absolutely make us Optimistic Nihilists. While I may be able to see a lot of behaviors and predict a lot of disgusting ways that people can act, I can also appreciate when people step up to do the right thing, simply because it was the right thing. I remember when the pandemic first hit, and there was a mad dash for TP, where everyone else was just shocked and surprised by some of the greed people engaged with, I was simply disappointed that it felt like once again, I was right for the reason I didn't want to be. Then I remember I witnessed someone who was obviously in need of some help at the store and a random person just stopped and said, "Oh I happened to get the last two here, but I heard from my friend they also secured some, so we don't need all of this," and offered one of those last precious packs to someone else. It was a reminder that life is a messy spectrum, and you can only know individuals by witnessing them and sometimes engaging them to understand their why's behind things. It's why on one hand, I can see someone obsessed with more and more money and think, "This person is incredibly foolish. Money is a transient concept society has trained us to put far too much importance on when you can't even do anything with it if you die, or if all of society were to collapse." Then talk to that person for some reason or other and come to find out, they're actually busting their ass to support a family member that maybe can no longer take care of themselves and have a totally different outlook now and say, "While I may not go as hard as that over money, I understand their why and I'm not gonna fault them for it because I would definitely do everything in my power to provide for a family member in that situation."

The cliché "get the most out of your day" is that little bit of hope and an approach for feeling content on the actions of the day or the further processing of thoughts. As long as there is a notion of progression, that's the point of coping with "Does it matter in the grand scheme of things?". Taking steps back or an unproductive day have resulted in discontent. A graph goes up and down, like the stock market. A downward trend is merely an opportunity to start investing more, so the value may increase again.

45yo, ENTJ, London - Sometimes it gets very grim and dark, but over the years I've learned to keep my feelings in a cage so they don't bite and don't make me vulnerable. What helped was figuring out my why's so that I could bear any how. Why? - so that I don’t give up, even if life is unfair, unpredictable, difficult and sometimes beautiful -so that I try my best to enjoy the journey ( through discipline and good mental health) - so that I'm a supportive rock and an example of courage for people I care about.

I feel so seen, i'm a 17yo INTJ and since I turned 16 I began thinking and being tormented everyday by the simple thought that I could die anytime anywhere, literally everyday and even when being around friends I would start dissociating and thinking "I could die right now", and then my day would be ruined, just by my own brain. I always described it to my friends as the feeling of "thoughts tormenting my brain, they came into my mind against my will". Thankfully I got around it and distracted myself and within some (several) months I stopped thinking about it.

Only the vision of my own ideal future drives me. This morning again I just wanted to let go and live somewhere in the mountains, but my vision always brings me back, saying I'm not doing this only for myself but for everyone who want a change too. If at least I could help or inspire one person, then I would consider I contributed in making this world better. Death is a motivator, truly. A friend, repeating me "girl, I'll be coming for you, you better do what you gotta do, don't waste your time, do stuffs you love make that vision a reality, help people and for godsake have fun along the way. There's life for your avatar and then me for your soul". Tks John for this video, truly, thanks for sharing all of this with us. So much depth love it!

As an Fi-dom, it's Te that gives me hope by connecting me with the world. Left to my own devices, I'd drown in my feelings (Fi), unfinished projects (Ne), endless memories (Si). Then I realize that the "robotic heartless machine" of Te is the key to translating all my poetic imagination into reality. I'm not as incompetent as I think I am if I literally see my goals materialize in front of my eyes, through my own efforts.

That's wonderful thing about us INTJ we are not afraid of death, we accepted it as inevitable and will happen any time. What I feared is too experience children die before us. I really don't like that experience. My life should be a shield to protect their future that they may also experience life, good or bad.

Knowledge keeps me hopeful and going forward!

I agree with your statement, everything fundamentally is paradoxical.

I love your channel. You make sense to me. The world is grim. Life sucks a lot of the time, but what are you gonna do? It's the people that I care about and that care about me that keep me moving forward. The future is what you work towards making it

I admit, an INFJ has a possibility of saying that too. As Ni doms, we can and have both thought about death many times. Wondering what truly happens, if we just rot, or if there is something more. Maybe even if we might just wake up somewhere else or something like that. Dominant Ni seems to truly give us a dual nature thus why we seem to live in 2 worlds at once. We always see from both sides, and usually ever other sides both that exist and don't exist.

Great Content!

Yes, I had learned to see positivity in most negative situation 😅

hi jon, you posted this right after i had an absolute fi breakdown :c but the video is great, there's still things to be seen and experienced, it seems..

That is the problem with some of the educators, that they think something is wrong with you just because you think differently than the other children.

1:26 (Disclaimer:- Not an INTJ so you might find it idk- wierd? ) If by hope you mean what is it that keeps me going despite of knowing that everything is going to end- its curiosity or the very disability to belive that we are created by chance and have no meaning- i live to know the very essence of living and also to know if spiritual talks are just talks.... but if you ask what keeps me going in my grimest times- i think its my natural tendency of believing that everything ends well.. you may call it blind optimism... sometimes it is hard to be optimistic and everything seems to break (tbh it's me myself, my incompetency or insignificance that hits me hard and not the external world) - in such cases of break down, it's "anything" serene, "anything" that brings me back to my path... Its like I create hope rather than finding it- create it in the world outside.... pretty much like in Dust Of Snow- it’s so me that it horrifies me...❤

It’s so crazy, you described me perfectly. I always describe myself as an optimistic nihilist. I’ve learned more about the optimistic side the past 3/4 years. I never thought it was because I was learning more about my extraverted sensing. I think that’s also why I loved the movie Everything everywhere all at once so much. It represents my brain quite well. I think my glimmer of hope is learning, progress and connection. Focusing on the process of learning something new, following my curiosity and meeting amazing people give me the excitement of living. Since I was young I’ve always had an obsession with death. For a long time I didn’t even see the point of doing many things that others were doing. Now, I don’t want to arrive at the end of my life and have regrets. My fear would be to not fulfill my potential. I have this obsession about dying but it’s more like talking to a friend. (Love the quote btw) I love learning and reading about people who are about to die or work with death. This is super interesting to me. I think that’s also why I like stoicism, they make it normal to think about death daily as a reminder.

I often feel that I am compelled to save people by creating systems, but the conflict comes from believing people do not deserve to be saved. Any solution will be temporary as humans will fill the gaps.

Thank you so much for this video. ❤ Although, I am not sure about my mbti (tested infj majority times online, which is not reliable ) because I am new to mbti , But, recently (19 yrs old) I experienced the same case, but I had never thought soo deeply in my childhood or earlier age. Maybe, I felt these things now because I have been very distracted from achieving my goals and was sad. I thought that what is the meaning of doing any thing, if eventually i am going to die, also, the job which i am interested in, wouldn't have any deep impact on society, etc. Like.. my brother doesn't think this way and has a goal (money 😂) , but for me, even if I will get the materialistic pleaure or the good feeling by doing humanitarian things , I thought , eventually, It wouldn't be that impactful. I didn't feel any cause for living life. But, then, I decided that, I would just focus on my goal and maybe thats the only reason for living the life. I totally agree with the part you said about realizing the beauty and kindness of humans and I feel so happy watching these things but I just cannot ignore the ugly side too. So, sometimes i am happy, sometimes sad. And now I just know that i have to live for my goals and enjoy life like others until I die. I know my comment is too long and miscellaneous, but, it felt really really good to hear your experiences.

answer: blindly believe there must be something out there, there must be a reason why I'm here, there must be something I can do.

I am a practicing Catholic INTJ, hence I subscribe to the teachings and theology of the Catholic Church about life and death

Bouncing all over the place while making sense and connecting dots is typical INTJ so bounce away. As an INTJ teen, I slept a lot and made life-changing decisions that helped my family. Now, I still sleep a lot, but I'm making changes I'm grateful to God for.

For me, who happen to be an INTJ, meaninglessness is always an issue. Not an issue because its bad, but because it makes living harder. When you start to see things in such a neutral light it gets indeniably harder to be motivated. Sure, I have plans and objectives but they are much more about maintaining a peaceful relationship with the external world and making sure I'll be okay in the future, materialistically speaking, than for their meaning. I'm 22 and the conclusion I current have is that the only 2 things that really hold inherent value is doing what makes you happy and love.

Absurdism. The philosophy of absurdism. The vampire character from the book "Blindsight". And that book has an amazing argument against consciousness being a blessing. Embrace the ruthless cold that discipline provides. Cold so cold, it has a sound.

Optimistic nihilism, absolutely. I never thought about the role of Se in that, but you're very right. Experiencing the world makes you more compassionate and understanding. And chill about the uncompromising things you also perceive, because there's a form of imperfect balance. I'm not very optimistic about where the world is going. I hope I'm wrong and something positive will kick up, but it looks dire on many fronts for the next decades. But what can I do about it? There's no use worrying about things that are outside your purview, better to deal with the little things you can at your own level. As for death, the idea is peaceful, I'm prepared to die at any time and I'll genuinely have no regrets. Agony though, that frightens me, the lack of control of it, how pains makes you your primal most animal self, eesh. There's also something to be said about preparedness. I'm always thinking of the worst scenarii, but it isn't something that bums me out, it's just something I need to feel prepared for. Once I've dealt with those ideas, I'm at peace with every possibility. I'd prefer the worse not happening, but I'll be able to deal. I think there's nothing worse than to get surprised with your pants off, so to speak. I'm not good at pivoting right away. But if the paths have already been conceived, eh, just activate this and this and do your best 🤷

I'm an ENTJ and I'm a widow. I dove right into what people call a "Death Positive" movement. I'm starting a podcast around the dark humor we widows and widowers experience after the initial grief process. I've also went to be a death Doula. The way I see death now, is more of a force that helps me to live my full authenticity now. I refuse to regret at the end of my days..

Friend, there is no glimmer of hope. What shines is the raging furnace of myself and I will never stop burning. No regrets, no holding back, no fear, chaos is my bitch. ❤‍🔥 Wasn`t easy though, shadow integration and shedding, meditating to put certain aspects away in their uselessness, hundreds of solitary hours in the dojo, finding the right diet/fasting balance despite bad advice from basically every expert, reading and listening to so many books on philosophy and history and also fiction to set the mind free, lost a lot of friends and family along the way, the mistakes and ded ends that also ended up contributing growth..... finally making all four functions shake hands and it is wonderful. Not evolving was never an option as you will know if you are INTJ.

Well said,, My faith saved me from nihilism I cannot completely say that I am not because I still struggle sometimes, but just like what you said the random kindness in my case my faith opened my eyes to the positive side of humanity. In my case it's my Faith community and what I witnessed from them. Helping people because they found the true meaning of life and death and they celebrate both by living the life meaningfully until the end of their lifetime. Such an interesting way to live life but also a great example for intj stuck in nihilistic thinking. Optimistic nihilism is a result of healthy use of Se.

A co-worker once told me that I "Live to work" and not "Work to live", basically that I have no life other than work. I wasnt angry when she said it 'cause it made me think. Honestly, it's (my job) the only thing that keeps me going. But funnily enough, Im not happy "working" the normal rat race corporate desk job. I have a degree unused and talents that dont match my job. And every time I tell anyone they ask "So what are you doing here?" (I ask myself that too sometimes) I too wish to leave something of significance behind. To say to someone that "I was here" when Im gone. I also think about death and as you said, it's not scary (the pain part perhaps) but I do think about it all the time. And I too wrote about death when I was little, that I wanted to be buried with my stuffed animals and dolls (scared my parents. and we had a 'talk') From young I realised that death is everywhere. But so too is life. But what keeps me going now?...Hard to say really. Apologies for the Tedtalk.

Another great one - INFJ

I visited Auschwitz last year. That gave me a lot to process... The factories of death were obscene, but just as disturbing was the complicity of people at the time. For example, as a Christian I was disgusted by the inaction of the church during the Nazi regime - these should have been bold crusaders against evil, empowered by the Holy Spirit. In reality, the number of Christians actually speaking out or practising non-violent resistance was very small, and the Pope even facilitated the escape of certain Nazi perpetrators. Yes, that gave me plenty to think about. It's easy to view people as vermin in such a light. But then you read about White Rose and the lone Christian saint Maximillian Kolbe who sacrificed his life to save a complete stranger. There are glints of true character amongst the ruins.

your right between [10:40-10:53] my observations are based off of bad exspirences i had and its logiccal to question that maby i was wrong but i need somthing but im not sure what

Jesus Christ's death and resurrection is the only thing that holds meaning in my life. Without Him, achieving goals, making a lot of effort to make friends and work hard would hold no meaning because, succed or fail, the end is death for everyone. But He promises that it's not. He is preparing for everyone who believes Him eternal life in His Kingdom, full of meaning and joy.

INTJs live their whole life in a mental doom loop that never ends..

I am a 17 year old intj who has had health issues to where my entire life would change becouse of it. I had my worst year yet last year dealing with bad depression and anxiety. At the time I had been with an unhealthy ISTP who had become scorned becouse of other reasons. A quick question to all other INTJ’s, when I came across the idea of unliving myself my ti and ni told me what would happen after and the wrongness of the action. My mindset is that unliving myself is cheating life and that all problems that come up in life and challenges for becoming a better human being. Do y’all have the same mindset? My hope is my friends, family, religion and my new ESTP girlfriend who is my biggest cheerleader and my best friend. When I saw this video I almost laughed because of the truth of it. I know in my own life I am really dark because I recognize the darkness and don’t fear it. I don’t fear death or the after party because of my religion and also party because I acknowledged the worst that death could be and know that there is no escaping it so there is nothing to fear. Fear is in its base from is an object or happing that is unknown by your own point of view. A quick example from my own life is I just had my wisdom teeth pulled and didn’t know how the sedative worked and I was afraid of the lack of knowledge. I didn’t know if I was going to be watching the orthodontist cutting into my mouth or be in a sleep like state. I was afraid because the unknown was in my very next action. That’s probably why a lot of people are afraid of the future or gods or death. All unknowns. Shoot this is turning into a lecture lol. Anyway that’s the answer to your question John thanks for asking.

I feel seen ❤

Man I wish there was an entp who made a RU-vid channel like you explaining Entps

To you question: I see hundreds of different futures and the majority ends badly. And I sit here and just can watch like Cassandra (greek myth). I deal with depression, anxiety, ADHD and autism (maybe more). But in my darkest times, only my potential I could have for realizing one of the better futures, kept me bound to this world. So yeah it can get pretty dark in my mind. 😒

My friends decided i was an intj. I can get pretty grim sometimes but my hope for the future comes from the capabilites of technology.

An INTJ here and been thinking about this for last 3 days: "I hope to meet death with my eyes wide open"

I try to live my life every day so that even if I died during the night I would not leave with any major regrets. Every day is a small miracle and it seems a bit weird that everyone does not acknowledge that they are numbered. Just last week I talked about this with my ENFJ-friend who was struggling with the thoughts of dieing too early and only then realized that it is not considered "normal" to think about death on almost a daily basis. Life is s**t and then we die, but let's enjoy it as much as we can. An optimistic nihilist, sure.

Fred Rogers is a proper Legend

ROTFLMAO, my dad was a cop and often told me about how cops prepare for situations by practicing them in advance because "You don't want to have to think of plan in the middle of the action cus you won't have the time. We rehearse scenarios in advance in order to have as many possible actions to take *before* we need them, of course, all the time hoping we'll never need them. It's like having more tools in your toolbox before the emergency." So I often ran them too, only mentally, of course, and sometimes I would tell my friends things like "As I was walking to the car in the dark to get my jacket, I wondered what if..." and they would look horrified and say, "Cat, you're so morbid!" Lol, I only share these kinds of thoughts with my INFP friend now cus she gets it.

The hero function is always positive

can i have some advices on how to focus on things that you don't like to do and how to get it done ? ( i'm having problem in concentrating in natural science subjects at school)

In high school i used to write poetry based on dreams that would rival edgar allen poe. But its too bad i cant remember any of them. Constant end of the world dreams. Apocalypse dreams. Plagues, calamities in nature. I think its kinda ironic how i got a black widow tattoo. Because im like a black widow.

Apparently, i triggered the algorithm into thinking my comment was spam. Check your filter if you care to see my comment. Can't even have deep conversations in the comments without them hiding your stuff.

Yep. Gonna sound morbid but my own death and the death of my relatives are all played out for me since I was 10 when my grandfather passed away (that's what made me start thinking about it). I know how I'm going to feel, I know how I'm going to react. I've already let them go. Some of them are still there and I appreciate the moments I still have with them but I'm aware that they're finite so it's not going to affect me as much when they're gone. I've never actually had heroes. I've always respected competency but I've never put people or organizations on a pedestal. I've never had a favorite team, favorite player or band. I know why I like certain things and always try to expand my knowledge to understand it better, but I've never had a desire to idolize someone. Also I'm pretty sure the function that makes us get shit done is still Te, always Te. I've started coming to terms with my Se about 3-5 years ago (I'm 36 now) and as I understand it now (based on the difference that I see before I was less concious about my Se compared to now) Se makes you aware of possibilities that arent ideal but practical. Se makes you appreciate variety, new experience and different interactions. This wont make you an adrenaline freak, Te is still the thing that gets you going. Se wont make you leave the house unless Te thinks that it makes sense and is efficient but it will make you aware of the possibility of doing things a little bit different for the sake of new experience. I do agree with the part that experience is overlooked early in life and is extremely important (Ni likes the idealistic approach and doesnt care about practicality). I dont think we're optimistic. We'd like to be wrong but since most of the time we're right we tend to make negative predictions so that when reality actually exceeds our expectations you get huge amounts of joy from it. I still dont think there's anything good about vomiting at the bathroom stall even if someone is helping you. I still dont care about random acts of kindness, I'm going to be calm and collected in a stressful situation not because I believe in humanity, but because I've played this situation out already and I'm prepared for what is happening. And yes. Death is fucking scary. Because you dont know what's beyond. You know the possibilities, but you dont know.

Bener ini om , saat kita di interview kerja oleh HRD selalu deh 😁👍 gara gara optimis tapi nihil dianggap aneh sama beberapa orang yg gak paham . Btw luka infj sama juga kami kaum intj memahami luka anda . Ni dom . Terimakasih aja karena ke tolong SE kita .

Love from infj

Personally I would say that I could live like a complete nihilist not seeing value in anything as we all will die eventually and life as such but I chose not to. There are so many fascinating things, there is so much beauty that much better choice is to enjoy them ven if this is a fleeting experience.

Bruh. I need advice on my INTJ. He’s so confusing and I wish I never got back onTikTok bc I’m bombarded with videos that make me think I’m wasting my time on someone whose actions never match his words and it’s so confusing 😩 like being an INTJ, he makes so much sense but then in totality it just seems like I’m wasting my time and love on someone who’s really not interested in me as much as he says. I know this is unrelated to your video, but I need someone to help me understand INTJS 😂😭

As an entp, it makes sense that you think about death, but it is funny. I can't see a thing in the future. I do wonder what my last 3 minutes will be like. When my body is dead, but my brain still alive. Will i be conscious when i die. How would it feel dying, if i have 3 minutes. Will it be like a dream, or feel more real. But apart from that no. I do not think about death. I just see death as birth. Quite frankly i don't remember being born, and the 13.8 billion years before it. Tried to remember the birth of the universe, but no cigar. Similarly, won't know shit about the next 1 trillion years. It is what it is...

when i was a kid no one cared about my ideas and the rest where to boring too dirty too dumb i felt like an alien i knew the answers before they did i spelled everything good my numbers where good until highschool now i wanted somthing i didnt want before and they passed me at every chance they got grades opertunites they where floating and i was sinking they let me sink i drowned and died than when i looked around i relized love is not just a lie its part of a bigger lie the truth is we are born alone and we die alone i remember death and its like waiting for the bathroom cant wait but i have to hope the drowning metephore didnt confuse the se and fp types

Death and life after death

I don't know why INTJs are seen as pessimistic by the MBTI community. I think INTJs are very optimistic, INTJs are future oriented from the start, an INTJ who experienced unhappy childhood will see opportunities and find a way to get out of it, they are not the kind who get stuck in their mindset. Tell me if I'm wrong?

No, I will not!

❯ How grim does your reality get ? _My parents said : "You look like you carry all the misery of the world" (not surprising with my type & conditions😆) I perceiving/detect people for who they really are, understand everyone & everything, think to everything, ideas pop in mind everyday. I perceive/feel/detect the energies, so I know when something or someone is good or bad. _I am not afraid to die anymore because it's just a transition, not the end, it's probably the same of an out-of-body experience. I will scare everyone if I share my Ni about life & humans : we are programmed, we decide nothing, we just do what our unconscious & intuition want us to do, we just control the details, not the whole. Otherwise we wouldn't experience synchronicity, life unfold, everything happen as planned, like a theater. ❯ What is that glimmer of hope that keeps you going ? I know the future (already shared it in video) I dreamed about human skeletons walking, all alone in their head, when I was 1 or 2 years old. I know the human condition almost since I am born. We are all alone in our mind, and disconnected from each others. That's why people need to be exposed to healing frequencies (or mediate), nature, to heal, to reconnect with themselves/others/the world/the essence. Intuitives need to do their role/job to change the world. Accepting the reality & human condition as it is, or try to change it. Edit : I never understood why people are nasty, and judge/criticize others Enneagram 5 more prone to think to the deep aspect of life & human, than the other enneagrams.
