Help for the Myers-Briggs Addict
http://foreverfinancialfreedom.blogspot.com

We all have one in our life. A Myers-Briggs addict. They come in many different packages and many different walks of life. They live every day in a struggle they frankly think is normal and healthy. It's not. It's mildly oppressive and uncomfortable. They start to analyze all the minute they meet people. They use Myers-Briggs as ice breakers with potential romantic partners. This is why we need to help them. Here is the guide to helping the Myers-Briggs addict in your life.

1. Take on Multiple Personalities to Confuse Them

Really overwhelm them with too many different personalities coming out of one person. Make them question everything and really not be able to understand what is going on. This will show them living a life based on a set of four letters is really a life that makes everyone around them want to scream.

2. Help Them Realize People Can't Be Defined by a Test

Make them visit some far out mystical taoist monastery or something and make them start to think the world is actually one giant related sphere or whatever works. Then get some tie dye together and maybe listen to the Grateful Dead.

3. Help Them Get an Actual Psychology Degree

You could also educated them in something that is accredited. That works too.

4. Make Them Write the Word Ambivert 1,000 Times

Really break a true Myers-Briggs addict by making them realize people can shift based on the situation through the word ambivert. Chanting also can work when pen and paper are not available.

5. Get Your Pavlov On

Maybe every time they say "I think they're an INFJ" you press a lego into his or her foot, or every time they refuse to analyze a personality you give him or her a small piece of sponge candy. It really doesn't matter, just condition him or her to think of something else as the go to party ice breaker.

6. Make Them Meet Interesting People And Force Them to Not Analyze Their Personality

To know you've truly helped the addict, you take him or her to a party or event filled with interesting people. Let's say something with strong personalities, like an art opening. Then, you put your recovering addict to the test. Can he or she go the night without bringing up personality theory? This is the last step. Once this is accomplished you have affectively rehabilitated a Myers-Briggs addict.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
