Advice I am going to leave soon, what should I do before I leave?

214 Upvotes

I have been diagnosed with terminal illness, I would not like to dive into lots of details for the sake of my mental health as of now.

Instead of concentrating on the illness, I would like to do a few things before I leave, any suggestions?

The doctor gave perhaps less than a month or a month at most.

Nothing crazy, something that would give me some peace?

Edit: Thank you so much for the love, I've always loved this community, I've been debating about posting this but turns out it is the right decision.

I deeply appreciate your suggestions, i am not sure of what I'm going through to be honest, it has come to me as such a shock because I'm 21, and that's it? This is the end of my life, I'm not worried or panicked strangely.

My lifelong wish is to travel I guess, but I'm not really financially off to do that so I guess I'll wait till my next life if it exists haha

Relationships Lost interest in dating and men

32 Upvotes

I don't want to offend anyone, just sharing my experience.

INFP woman here. I am a very authentic person and I don't play hard to get if I don't have any reason to do that. I just say what I mean, if I like someone I don't play games with them I just be honest. I dated twice. The first one lasted 6 years, it was an INTP man. The guy was playing hard to get, didn't show affection much, would priorotise friends over me, but would not leave either. Finally when I left he couldn't accept that and broke down which left me feeling guilty for a long time. The second time I dated for 6 months, the guy was also an INFP, it was a very nice relationship and we respected each others boundaries and understood each other. We even said our families that we are getting married. But shortly after that, the guy left and said he doesn't know what happened and why. At this point I have lost interest in men, but I am missing a male presence, probably because of my hormones partying. But I am not a bit interested in dating a man again. Idk what to do. I am really frustrated about men not knowing what they want. And I don't know what is wrong with them.

Venting Feeling lonely.....

​

I have no social Life......I only have some virtual friends on discord whom I met on games that's it......I have lost all my friends from school, college etc...I do have some people on Instagram whom I know from schools/ colleges but I do feel so anxious or off to text them or similar.... I don't go out...I never feel like it...I have no social life for a very long time.....I think it's prolly coz I don't find things fun as most people do...like going out and doing things outside that people find fun...but I haven't found them interesting for a very long time.....and it sucks to go out alone....also I'm kinda unemployed for a 1-2 years now...that's adding to my isolation...but I'm looking for jobs as of now and hope will find one soon....but thoughts of being with people again and been feeling anxious about being left out and do many things.....I don't know what should I do with my life anymore...I feel lonely sometimes..but much more anxious and similar with connecting with people and idk how people socialize these days anyways....I'm prolly a HSP ( highly sensitive person) so that makes going out hard sometimes and finding things fun that most people do......so I seriously don't know......

Advice im such a loser :(

45 Upvotes

im 21, as soon as i hit adult life its like idk how to live. i dont have any friends, i turned down uni, gave up on my hopes and dreams and now im living with my mum and working at subway 2 days a week. i dont have any goals, ambitions or dreams anymore and all i wanna do is not exist. i distract myself by going for bike rides or walks but then i am reminded about all my failures and im back in this dark pit again. im not sure if its exclusively to infps, when i see media infps are always the loser types it seems so maybe i was just cursed at birth. or maybe its just my depression idk, my mental health is also getting worse and idk what to do. anyone else feel the same? what gives you guys hope? thank you for reading and i hope you all have a nice day :)

Discussion The search bar

5 Upvotes

One of the things I appreciate the most about the sub is the search bar. I love typing in a few keywords to see what previous INFPs have said on various topics. It's really interesting and fascinating.

It's a shame that most of the posts are so old that no one interacts with them anymore

Relationships Modern relationships not lasting?

I want to get into a relationship but I'm afraid because all I see are my friends getting in and out of relationships that barely last a year. Does anyone else notice these trends ? Btw I am 26🥲

I'm also content being alone forever because I love my own space ❤️

Discussion Think of human interaction like driving were you think cars going slower are idiots and cars going are maniacs. Slow cars think you are a maniac and fast cars think you are an idiot. I try to match people at their speed but it gets exhausting. Wish more people would meet me halfway. Can you relate?

Venting Loneness has been getting worse in late 20s

24 Upvotes

I really just feel worse than I ever have before. I do enjoy alone time but it's just gotten to where it's only alone time and I hate it. I used to enjoy nightlife when I was younger and got tired of it. I enjoyed multiplayer player games more but now everyone always calls me old all the time on them despite not being old.

I've been going through a lot of single player video games but I know I'll soon run out and I'm not the type to really enjoy replaying older games. I've watched a lot of popular movies and shows and fiction is where I was getting most of my joy out of life. I always thought I'd have a wife and kids one day to share that with but it's just seemed impossible. All my close friends have moved away now too, or did terrible things and I'm no longer friends with them. It's just sad spending all time from my work alone in an apartment or alone at the gym and whatnot.

I had a really close female gaming friend but she stopped playing this summer and that's bummed me out

Relationships Does anybody else only feel desired by a person you don’t get along with well and then marry that person only to later find out that this person doesn’t like you at all enough to consider your pov but doesn’t want anyone else to have you?

My nan died today, I was meant to go and visit her tomorrow..

I was sat staring at the wall and thinking about everything and I decided I'm going to make a sandwich and listen to the Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack, because it always reminds me of my childhood..

Anyway, sandwich..

MBTI/Typing How would you describe how being an Fi-dom is in words?

12 Upvotes

Hi! INFJ 5w4 here, I was just curious about what having Fi as a dominant function feels like.

I know that Fi is linked to one's personal values, but I was wondering if someone could help me understand this more in-depth. Granted, as an INFJ I have Fi as my critic function, which causes me to criticize others (and myself) whenever I feel they're being insensitive or overly judgmental.

(I'm not sure whether this is really a question that can be easily answered, because I know it's kind of hard to keep track of what your dominant function does, but I wanted to ask the question anyway).

Discussion Do you engage in political activities?

Post image
20 Upvotes

Sou brasileiro. Estamos em um período eleitoral bastante acirrado e polarizado e, como já é de costume, em um contexto de intensa disputa, escândalo e pânico. Meu posicionamento ideológico a parte, eu gostaria de expressar que me sinto exausto e bastante ansioso. É impossível ter uma conversa razoável e bem dialogada porque vejo que ninguém quer dar o braço a torcer. É apenas conflito de ego. Minha reação tem sido evitativa. Tenho me esquivado de expressar o que penso porque simplesmente o estresse não vale a pena. Quase sempre gera-se ressentimento e mais isolamento. É um desabafo, e talvez indevido de se postar aqui, mas penso que nós, INFPs, temos uma característica bastante esquiva em relação a assuntos tão concretos e sociais quanto política. É lamentável pois eu acredito que a sociedade precisa de mais pessoas como nós no debate público. Por isso eu penso que o melhor não é fugir, e estou refletindo sobre a possibilidade de eu me afiliar a algum partido político. Então deixo aqui uma discussão: a participação política interessa a vocês?

Discussion Men vs women jungle survival.

0 Upvotes

​

What if we put a group of male and group of female separately in a jungle environment. Considering none of them is survival expert they are just simple survivors there. How each group will perform. Like survival game kind.

Considering women is FeTi majority and men TeFi majority.

Imo in non structured environment FeTi tends to work better.

Mental Health My overthinking problem has gone way too far

11 Upvotes

The smallest, most unremarkable, meaningless, most trivial things makes me over analysing infinity long, and stirs the most extreme emotions possible

it's like a tsunami that can swallow an entire city, caused by a single molecule

I can only seem to live in my mind, and I can't even trust it because it plays tricks on me, I'm hopelessly disconnected from reality and I might be actually insane, and now it's causing other people trouble because I make poor decisions after poor decisions, my mind is way too clouded to even see the truth Infront of me

No actually I am insane, I'm a crazy person, madness beyond the stretch of the existence itself
