The Struggles in Dreams

Aimlessly wandering on my Facebook feed and seeing all the graduation pictures from last week made me feel, for the nth time, anxious of what lies ahead of me. 

A part of me wants to push myself to my limits, and the other wants to literally give up without even trying. Because of this, my late-night fantasies may either be me becoming the best version of myself, or me just laying in a hospital bed, taking my last breath and closing my eyes for the last time. (I might make a separate post on my thoughts about death) 

So in every picture of a graduate, I end up criticizing myself more. I know I always make other people's success stories into a leather belt to beat myself with. I am not sure what motivates me to think like this. Is it anger? Is it jealousy? I have no idea why my thinking goes like this because a part of me thinks that it's unnecessary. Although the other, stronger part of myself discourages me to do anything about it and I end up contemplating if anything I do will be worth it anymore. 

The other optimistic part of me, however, manages to lighten me up by making me daydream about myself as the person I want to become in the future. Then the pessimistic part of me would take over all of a sudden (usually at night) when I'm at my most vulnerable state. As it usually couples with the silence of night time which I usually enjoy, the end result is always a melodramatic show that concludes in a tear or two, with a deep and heavy sigh. 

With two contrasting opinions of myself, I am stuck in a body who sometimes wants to live my life to the fullest, or would prefer to have my soul lurking endlessly in a black void of nothingness.

INTP or INTJ?

Took online tests for my personality type (The Myers-Briggs ones) The first I took is also the same one I took last year. I still got the same result; INTJ. (Mastermind)  (my older sister agrees with this) I took another test (Jung; which is more complicated-looking cause it's those accuracy tests rated from 1-5, the first one I took only had those yes/no questions) my result was INTP (Architect), but before that I sort of guessed the other questions since I can't register the words "introspective" and "spontaneous" and some other words in my mind. So I went back and took the test again then I got INTJ and  INTP. (50:50) I read the descriptions for both of them, I could be any. I'm confused. Anyway, it's only them to choose from. Though I'm still not sure which one is really me.  I read some differences between them in some sites... and I couldn't make up my mind. At some times I could be INTP, some times I could be INTJ.  [EDIT:] I tried ano

One close look at an INTJ

Hi. Let's get to the point. I've been to so many sites about the 16 personality types by Myerrs-Briggs and Jung and I don't know who else to put. I'm going to focus on the INTJ and some compatibilities with ENFP, INFP and ISFP people. (Based on how I get along with them, anyway. Don't know about you.) So, here are some INTJ stuff (that even INTP's, INFJ's, ISFP's, INFP's might have): Want to be the best as much as possible, even though it almost looks impossible Would enjoy being alone in a silent place than being with a lot of people in a noisy place. (Introvert characteristics) You would unleash your wit whenever you feel like it. You don't like showing people your work unless you're close friends with them and you think that they  will think greatly of your work. You're close with the smartest person you know but you only go to him/her when you want to ask something you don't under
