I'd like to start chatting online with a female INFP who is really pretty and about my age. We'll live close enough to each other that meeting in person is at least a possibility. We'll start talking online and discover that great conversations come very easily. They'll be fun and flirty, but also deep and honest. We will find that we share many of the same hopes and fears.

We'll be nervous about it, but we'll eventually work up the courage to meet in real life. She'll be even prettier in person and there will be an instant attraction between us. We will quickly become each other's favorite person in the world.

She'll have similar aspirations for her life. We'll move somewhere together and follow our passions. We will live a simple lifestyle and we will focus on doing what we love. We will value art, music, literature, nature, peace, solitude and love.

We'll give each other silent, loving support when one of us is feeling down (which will happen pretty often – we are INFP's after all). There will be loving acceptance, patience and understanding because we both know what it's like to feel down. We will conquer cynicism with our love.

Together we'll keep warm on cold winter nights. Together we'll weather the dark storms of life. Together we'll be stronger than we were alone. Together we will reach new heights.

Is that too much to ask? ;)

I think it's entirely possible to make such things a reality. Sounds like an absolute dream come true, and why can't it be so? I am pretty certain it can happen.

Two confessions:

1) I work hard when I choose what music I post in the "songs about your current feeling" and "what are you listening to now" threads.

2) I caught myself on the verge of saying something kind of powerful tonight. A few things could have fit in the spot where I stopped and paused, but they all lead to a similar conclusion. I had to laugh at myself.

I don't see myself as a great debater or artist. I see myself as above mediocre. That is, in part, because I'm used to seeing other people better than me. I'm used to being okay with that.

After much reflection, I realize: if I really was okay with my middling status, I would not refuse to aim for the top. I would aim and let myself fall wherever I deserved. I fear to try my best because I want my best to be the best. I have the chance to apply myself and win national recognition in debate--and I have the chance to apply myself artistically and self-publish. Both are dreams. Am I seriously waiting on my self-image before I shoot for the stars?

Yes. Yes, I am. I feel I need to be good enough first.

Going over my assignments and correcting the mistakes that my teacher found makes me cry. Why am I so emotional and why am I so fucking stupid.

Aww, this is such an emotionally-connecting post. It's nice that despite it all we can be such idealists, isn't it?

I also think this sounds like a dream come true, but entirely possible. :)
I hope you keep this idea alive and well, and wish you the best in finding it!

I just want to say thanks to everyone for their support on this forum. Often little things are appreciated but never mentioned. I was going through a rough time and I was away from the forum for a while and when I came back I was touched by the number of thanks from my post.

That being said I started receiving counselling from the rape crisis centre on the suggestion of a friend. she said that my issues with relationships may stem from my sexual abuse and almost getting raped twice. So far I'm not liking all the emotions being brought up but I have to admit that I am sleeping better at night.

Isn't it wonderful to feel supported? I love coming here too.

Also, I wanted to say that I have a friend who is going through the same thing you are right now regarding past sexual abuse. It's definitely not easy bringing those feelings back up to the surface so that you can choose how to cope with them, be more aware of them, come to terms with them. You can't take back what happened to you, but I have faith that eventually your sexuality, your trust issues and your fears will become more manageable and you will be in control of them, instead of vice versa. You aren't broken, just remember there is nothing wrong with you at the core. Bad things happened to you, but it doesn't mean you are bad. You have been wounded but you can heal. And sadly, you are not alone... Stay strong! You are worth it. :)

I confess that I don't love my mother, atleast I don't think I do. She calls me up when she's drunk and tells me she loves me. She does this all the time and I'm expected to say it back, and I find the words so hard to say to her, sometimes I just can't bring myself to say it at all. I feel guilty for not feeling any love for her. I used to hate her, I don't anymore. I have alot of bad memories of my mum and it took me a long while to stop hating her but now instead of loving her I just don't feel anything much for her at all. Am I a bad person? It feels like it. I sometimes wonder if she were to die would I be upset even, or would I just feel bad for not being more upset?
