"You take a very handsome guy, or a guy that thinks he’s a real hot-shot, and they’re always asking you to do them a big favor. Just because they’re crazy about themself, they think you’re crazy s out them, too, and that you’re just dying to do them a favor. It’s sort of funny, in a way."

INTP Confession #170

intpconfessions:

I often get very sad when thinking about all the people who seem to form vapid relationships just for the sake of feeling secure socially. I’ll never understand people who can still consider someone a friend despite knowing only the shallowest of details about them.

I’m an ESTJ (though quite borderline on the E and J), myself, but I can very much relate to this.

Sometimes human males have these nice faces and it’s so stressful.

“Stop telling women that we should find ourselves beautiful and that we should love ourselves when you are standing right there, judging us on how our knees look in short skirts and how prominent our boobs are in a sweater and how much makeup we are or are not wearing. 

Instead of us working harder on “love your body” and “find your inner beauty”, the rest of the world should be working harder on “stop telling women their bodies are a shameful place to live but that if they’re strong enough, they will learn to embrace that shame.” 

This is my body. It’s not “beautiful”. I don’t “love it”. I don’t have to. I don’t have to have any strong feelings about my body. And whatever feelings I do have are not somehow invalid if they’re not glowing reviews.”

I don’t 100% agree with the article, but I agree with the general sentiment. Mostly the bolded stuff (obviously).

(Bolded text bolded by me.)

"I just think that people are so weird about nudity and the human body. Sex is not bad, naked bodies are not bad and naked bodies don’t always have to be connected to sex."

Honesty

Why can’t honesty be a normal thing, something that everyone abides by?

Instead, honesty is actually RARE, to the point that most people don’t even expect it, and are actually surprised when they encounter honesty.

Honesty shouldn’t be some unexpected, refreshing thing. It should be a normal part of discourse. It should be so normal that it borders boring.

I don’t like boring stuff, and I’m all for defying norms, but I think the world would be much better if honesty were common to the point of normalcy.

"It’s not really an acceptable position these days to say out loud, “I don’t want my girlfriend to work that much,” so when you date someone, it comes out in a thousand other, even more nefarious ways."
