Have you seen Andrei Tarkovsky's film _Stalker_? I think of the wife's final monologue: "you've probably guessed already that he's not of this world."

If you haven't seen it yet, get it and watch it.

I guess,..after much experiences, my conclusion is: I guess my 'peaceful, thoughtful & imaginative' gene doesn't fit in this "survival of the fittest" world...so just shoot me dead. bye bye crazy world, I don't belong here..

@niki, there are other worlds here on this planet. Don't give up on your search. You may have to get out of your city to find them, but they do exist.

Larping helps. :D

Larping helps. :D

Just plain old tabletop is usually enough for me.

What has worked wonders for me after years of
struggling and strife is simple but also difficult:

As much as I can, I stay in the moment; I get out
of the story in my head, feel my emotions so that
they move through me, and believe or not, this
way I can get to joy.

For those skeptics, practise and prove it for
yourself - it really works

Just knowing that there are people living, if not completely, at least largely outside of the dominant paradigm is reassuring. A lot of my friends fit this description. I'm talking about troubadours living off the grid on the Taos Mesa and making money busking or performing at Renaissance Festivals, ski patrollers who guide raft trips in the summer, park rangers, pedicab drivers, landscapers, horse whisperers, dog breeders, artists, jewelers, magicians, meditation instructors, writers, political activists, and all manner of serial freelancers. I may yearn for the freedom they have and lament that my choices keep me from it right now. But I also know that it is in my near future, available to me just as it is to them. All we have to do is decide just how much we need and then match that to small ways of monetizing our dreams. Wonderful world, beautiful people.

I'm useless in this "real world"....I'm such a f*cking impractical, too imaginative person...

Again? Seriously?

if you have nothing better to say, and just want to mock or scorn me,
then you better leave this thread.
the last thing I need is another meaningless judging 'short posts' like yours...'cuz you're not helping at all..!
thank you.

I'm not mocking you. You just bumped three of your older threads to say the exact same thing you've been saying over and over, despite INFP's trying to help you. Besides the fact that it's against PerC rules to do so, I cannot offer you any advice or try to help if you're simply going to ignore it.

You seem like the kind of person to ruminate and rehash a problem in your head over and over without doing anything about it. I strongly encourage you to break this pattern.
