do u have a dark mind as an INFP?

I definitely have a dark side. I have a whole wall full of horror movies at my house that I love to watch. I am fascinated by the tragic things in life. My favorite season is fall because everything dies and it looks beautiful. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I don't know, the words aren't coming to me right now, but yes, I like the darker side of things.

I would describe my hidden darkness, not as something where there is a lot of bad things... There is just nothing good. There is a difference between having had many traumatic experiences, leading to obstacles putting you in the shadow, and simply the sun not being there. I am in the latter. It would be like... "I am depressed." "Did something happen?" "No, that is the problem, nothing happens, ever."

How *dark* minded of you...


har har har:crazy:

Yes, not only in the melancholy sense (I cry for random reasons at least four times each week and if lucky, three times a day lol).
But I am also attracted to snuff film and psuedo snuff.
OK I'll shut up now because I don't want to be the only one here who mentions something like that :3
I also love dark atmospheric music. Nothing emo lol.

Im glad to see other people who feel like me. I own a nice house off the river bank of the altamha river the only way you get to my house is by boat and its a 2 hour ride upstream away from everyone and everything. The only people here to bother me is my russian wife and my best friend. My own little paradise island I go fishing off my porch and i have my own garden and fruit trees. I live completely off the land. I love it being out here never bother noone and noone ever bothers us. Wake up in the morning tend to the chickens get the eggs make sure theres no alligator nests around anywhere and be happy thats the best solution I can give to everybody thats like me and my friend.

i am envious, andrew. one day, i too should have a woods cottage.

i think my fascination of darkness because it is a place where people hide their true selves, where institutions have hidden great knowledge, where repressed answers are finally faced. where people acknowledge their own feelings, their own dreams.

most people have to hide these things away most of the time. with music, i found a place where people could express these things safely. i listened to a lot of ulver, darkthrone, satyricon, cryptopsy, incantation, d., etc.

at one stage, i was rather attracted to the dark side itself, i loved the idea of independence and attached ideas of nobility to the archetype, but soon figured it wasnt for me when i met some of their management committee. Let's say they didn't really embody (tehe) the value set i was looking for.

of course, i then discovered that all the complaints i had regarding the administration of society and spirituality were actually down to a different set of people than I imagined, often posing as christians, zionists, etc. Once i realised that societies values had actually been derived from down below, so to speak, i lost all remaining interest. Totalitarianism is not something i'm comfortable with and it's kind of the inevitable result of that line of thinking.

Also, the first time i read Lavey i thought some of the ideas were cool, if unoriginal. But then i discovered that the guy not only encouraged people to apply for... membership... but that they actually paid hundreds of dollars for a little membership card. Needless to say, the scam light started flashing really fast and I thought for a minute about how gullible people are, before going back to my freddy n and feeling a little bit more alone : )

Still wear a lot of black clothes though. And my weapon of choice remains the seven string guitar, but I only use the lower five notes when I really need to ; >

I have a few pretty sick thoughts.
Also I might joke about sick things, this makes it easier to find the sick thing less disturbing so you get over them quicker. I wouldn't purposely want to see sick things or whatever.
I wouldn't say I have a dark mind

Everyone has sick thoughts. Some from time to time, others all the time. I have them near constant due to a form of OCD that I've mentioned before. Yet, I can't help but have laugh at it all. I love all forms of comedy, but I've really gotten my own sense of dark humor down to a niche. But as potato said, I would never want to experience anything truly terrible. The content of the internet though doesn't always help. nine out of ten times YOU have to search for it, but sometimes it comes to you. Enough morals though. I can be quite dark sometimes, I just have the ability to infuse it with humor and irony when in I'm in one of these short periods. Now as for looking depressed and melancholic? Almost always whenever I'm in school. Couple that with an occasional dark joke and you got yourself a trip to to the counselors!!! :laughing::crazy:

I have had days where I kind of think it'd be alright if everyone died as harsh as that sounds. Think some pretty messed up things I dont think I seriously wish these things but it can certainly feel that way. I dont know the worst thoughts I had but in a time when i was trying to think of the most disgusting thing I could I came up with the thought of anorexic porn. That sounds like scary shit to me.

I definitely have a dark side to my mind.
I can go days, obsessing about some imperfection and almost immediately it will trigger my old fascination with death.
It's not as bad as it used to be, but the memory of being in those times of darkness are still fresh in my mind.

Call me morbid but I do occasionally like to research dead people, just to remind myself that I'm mortal too - memento mori.
