there aren't a lot of new topics here, and I haven't seen too many deltas around. Also, I feel there is a lot of bashing in the forums in general.
This depressing behavior has to stop now damn it!!!

I'm not a delta, but I'm a friend of Kim's--does that count??
Ahh, I officially declare you an honorary ENFp and delta quadra member! Feel the love!Originally Posted by Guest (for now)

Could be cause and effect. Either lack of Delta => aggression, or aggression => lack of Delta.Originally Posted by Arcanum
What bashing?? And am I or anyone else guilty because deltas don't post that much?
Now don't get me wrong, I love Delta, ok? Now why don't you post more?
By topic and post count, Alphas are the yappy post-sluts of the 4. Beta is nearly tied with Delta lol.
sorry for any bashing
please come back delta
Ok, now I feel we're a little more organized. So far there are five of us here (Anndelise, Kim, Kim's friend, and schrödinger's cat). I think that we are enough to stabilize the forum, though we could use more backup.
Good point comrade Schrödinger's cat, you have identified the possible dilemma. We have to develop a plan to ensure that topics stay impersonal and that we post more topics.Could be cause and effect. Either lack of Delta => aggression, or aggression => lack of Delta.
What bashing?? And am I or anyone else guilty because deltas don't post that much?
gugu, you are not guilty. I feel that there are times when discussions get agressive because of the lack (and influence) of people who want things to run smoothly.
I am trying to find out why we are not posting much at the present time.Now don't get me wrong, I love Delta, ok? Now why don't you post more?
*cough*
hehe, sorry, Rocky too. Now that makes six. Soon our numbers will increase exponentially... (well, maybe)
Is ishisquishy delta?
i'm here too! i've just been busy with the start of classes. now that a nice case of food poisening has knocked me down, i have more time to relax.
*ENFp*
Play with me!!
I think so
And there's been at least three ISTps, and one or two ENFps, who have joined since Cone posted that. Maybe an INFj as well.Originally Posted by Cone (as of Dec. 6, 2005.)
1 is the lonliest number =x Christi needs to come play here =/
I'm around, though I'm certainly not the most active poster.

I'm here, and maybe delta/infj, but I don't post much because I don't really fit in.

Didn't someone say it's normal for INFJs to feel they don't fit in? So... welcome to Delta, Tepa.
My plan was: soon as people start posting lots of hissy, nasty, aggressive things to each other, we count to three and everyone posts pictures of cuddly puppy dogs.Originally Posted by Arcanum
Errr... OK. Another plan.
We'll just quote them and change their quotes to something nice. So when someone says "I'm going to crush you with my superior logic, you dickhead", we'll change it to
--something nice ("you hold such a special place in my heart")
--or to a nonsense poem ("yumpidi pumpidi glum")...
and post lots of pictures of cuddly puppy dogs.
Sorry, I've got to do some work and I'm procrastinating, which explains the silliness. *clears throat* I'm serious again now.
By the way, where's Darklord? His plans usually involve spacecrafts, laser beams and interstellar travel. I love it.
That's quite possible, I can't remember the last time I felt like I *really* fit in with a group of people. The Delta corner on this site seems nice though. Thanks for the welcomeOriginally Posted by schrödinger's cat

anyone is welcome to join the team. I know how you feel Tepa, just make yourself be a part of it. It's that simple.

Well I'm here. But is this thread finished?Originally Posted by Arcanum
definitely not comrade Xox. Sorry I haven't posted as much... Tomorrow I'll see if I can use more time to answer posts and keep the fire burning. Until then...Well I'm here. But is this thread finished?
My good friend, INFj. Her brother is ESTp, her mother ESFp and her father ISFj. One of these is not like the other...
Are INFjs seriously doomed to a life of being misunderstood/never fitting in? There is a pattern
I'm late, but I'm here.

Well, to tell you the truth in my case, it's also that I don't want to fit in.My good friend, INFj. Her brother is ESTp, her mother ESFp and her father ISFj. One of these is not like the other...

And, people misunderstand when they don't have previous experience with something or choose not to understand. In the first case, it is a lose-lose situation since I'm not comfortable in sharing what I believe is my identity since doing so might risk the possiblity of having it attacked, which would lead to my self-destruction. But, at the same time, not doing so leads me to feel distant from people, which contradicts the fact that I am socially oriented.
Another reason why I would deliberately separate myself is because I'm trying to deal with the frustration of wanting to do something but at the same time not wanting to so as to avoid exposure or a vulnerable situation.
All of this might sound pathetic to some people, but I wouldn't have it any other way. In fact, inner turmoil to me is my way of feeling alive. Being close to my physical sorroundings is not reassuring to me, since everything might as well be an illusion.
I don't fit in. How convenient, then, that 'fitting in' is also my image of the greatest violation of self I can imagine.

That is interesting. I often have some trouble fitting in (not here but in many other places). But I do have a subconscious need to fit in. So from your perspective I have a need to violate my "self" but I hardly ever succeed in that. That sounds kinda weirdOriginally Posted by Darklord
Hello fever!
Yeah darklord is quite right. I guess for some of us, fitting in is a painful thing. Actually fitting in is quite a painful thing for delta. INFj's are commonly percieved as anti-social, nerdy, otherworldly, and ISTp's are percieved as ... i don't know someone help me here, ESTj's are percieved as stiff-necked, forceful individuals, and ENFp's are sometimes percieved as deviants, underachievers, i don't know... I guess everyone has a problem with fitting in it's just whether you're conscious of it or not. Sometimes our weaknesses are our strengths.That is interesting.

Sorry I need to sleep now. I guess it's something to do with ENFp's values being very different from others. I don't know. I'm not sure. Let's assume that the above premise is true, so that means that their achievements may not be valued by many. And so they are sometimes percieved as underachievers. A little confused now, so pardon me.
