Yea, I've heard that it's very friendly and peaceful over in japan.It's generally how our society seems to work. All of us are competing against one another for various assets such as money, prestige and so on. If anything, it's almost expected based on those "goals."
It's almost comical how different things can be in a place like Japan. I've heard over there that accomplishments reflect on a family as a whole. Also, when you refer to someone you refer to their family name first (unless you know them very well). Over there, so many people seem genuinely happy and supportive of one another.
12-15h work day - INFP mass suicide lol. :tongue:What's the downside of Japan then? There has got to be a catch?
I have to have Hope that if i'm nice/sweet enough the vibe will rub off on others.
To be honest though people that are rude to everyone and do things on purpose
to make others sad/angry are NOT the ones people most want to be near.

I definitely agree. I actually feel a bit sorry for the kind of person stick described, because somebody who is mean, callous, and cuts others down to boost him/herself up is trying to cover up some SERIOUS insecurity and in the process they are only making themselves look bad and pushing others away. At least that is how i try to look at it :wink: but it is hard not to feel discouraged sometimes.To be honest though people that are rude to everyone and do things on purpose

I think I was actually able to pull this off before. There have been multiple instances when acquaintances and classmates of mine are much more polite and respectful when they're around me compared to how I see them at a distance when they're usually more rude and disrespectful. It's a shame it stops working when I'm not around. :frustrating:I have to have Hope that if i'm nice/sweet enough the vibe will rub off on others.
I absolutely agree. I try to cut off myself from such people but sometimes circumstances call for me to work or to be with them. In those situations I just try to be as warm and positive as possible and hope that they'll eventually be influenced a little by me.I don't think negativity and being mean & rude are things INFPs really like to be around. Maybe there are a few types that blossom & thrive under those things (it's like fertilizer for them and they grow into a huge strong fields of poison ivy) but I don't think INFPs is one of them.
Overly-developed thinking joined with personal insecurityand callous and obsessed with posturing and determined to make themselves look better by making other people look worse?
we feel threatened by things that are different from us and rely on humor to diffuse the discomfortwhy is flippant, dismissive humor the go-to dialect for nearly everyone?
because you're undoubtedly nicer than other of us and would not act that way...and why am i so damn sensitive about it?
A whole different flavor of sexism. I would not want to ever live there, no thank you.What's the downside of Japan then? There has got to be a catch?
