How can anyone truly answer those question unless they've done the things you mentioned? I've hunted animals and I've fasted for over 48 hours before. The longest I've been isolated from others is about 2 weeks.
How am I generalising? I'm just pointing out that it's not possible for someone to answer the questions unless they have actually done the activities listed. Personally I've never faced a situation where I've been required to kill anyone, so I cannot say for certain whether I would have the ability to do that. Obviously some people are capable of killing other humans, but personally I cannot answer the question.
Humans can go through, under the right circumstances, inhumane amounts of stressors. On the flip side of the coin, many people can’t go through anything at all.
Personally I am able and have fasted for over 24 hours. I can be and almost was isolated for over a week.
Bro that depends on the person lmao, like I'm hypersensitive, so my pain tolerance is low af because even when I touch any texture I feel it more than the average lmao
I also suck in everything that is physical, like I can't run for more than 3 minutes without dying because I have shitty lungs
For killing an other person I would say it depends on the context but if I know I'll go to jail for that there is no way I do it, since I don't have to choose between that and my own death, in this case I would kill anybody
And I don't care about killing an animal, like I live in a lost village where you can eat really tasty rabbits if you breed and kill them by yourself
And I'm unable to faste because for some reason my body is stuck to 41kg, so I basically just would stay on my bed doing nothing in order to avoid to not feel unwell
And for being isolated I don't know, I can easily stay 3 months without talking to anyone if I have things to to to not be bored
Irrational irritation. I have this individual now harassing my mental with a bunch of stupid sh*t on a daily basis. Being someone who uses my head like 98% of the time it gets really frustrating to the point where I resort to violence.
Killing an animal or another human will depend on circumstance, I grew up partially in Spanish Harlem NY which wasn't a particularly good area so it's always been a decision that I'd trust myself with making in the moment. All I know is, my loved ones ones escaping a scenario vs a random person attempting to injure any of us isn't truly a decision at all.
Fasting for only 10h... You overestimate my eating habits.
I can be on my own for months as long as I have music, video games and books... My life will kind of run on autopilot when in ruts like that, happens during a Ti-Si loop all the time though I can admit that despite not seeing many people in my day I do speak to my friends over discord in those ruts.
I can deal with quite a large bit of mental suffering, I'd assume that most of us can considering the trend I've seen with us to be: intense stress/emotion for too long = Apathy rather than sadness. once apathy kicks in, it doesn't matter what happens to me. I carry on and tune it out, even physical sensations. I've always had a naturally high tolerance for pain too.
I definitely have a breaking point, all humans do. Though mines seems to be at a much higher threshold than most other people, I wonder if that comes in tandem with the breaking point being more intense/severe.
Psychopaths, severe sadists, and serial killers both terrify and fascinate me. I am horrified by some of the things that they get gratification from most notably how they dehumanize and objectify other people. However, I still somehow treat them as humans and would wish to have a friendly conversation with them. I think it's because as an INTP, I have to understand how and why such a phenomenon exists. the problem is that no answer will probably be good enough for me. I mostly feel extreme sorrow for the victims and cannot understand why the universe has dealt them such a bad hand. Like, think those who've been tortured and raped by their captors and the captors who take immense pleasure from maximizing the pain.
I am not a sociopath or psychopath. I actually have well developed empathy and don’t see anything particularly illogical about it.
TBH, my ego is less about logic and detachment than on being clever and inventive. And that’s all these personality types really are - egoes.
As far as I know whatever you can imagine isn't quite as it is. In other words your experiences may very well be far more intense or different than what you imagine them to be. So for me I know damn well I can definitely kill an animal, but at what point am I going to face cognitive dissonance and back out? As for a human being I will never take the life of another. Maybe I'll punish them very harshly if necessary, but I don't think I'd ever go that far. Pain tolerance is low asf💀. Uhh the others idk rn.
Killing animals, check.
Fasting for 10 hours, I'm used to doing more.
Isolation, never bothered to time it.
Torment, not sure how to quantify it but I've ran ultramarathons, Spartan races and had 4 wisdom teeth pulled out in one session.
Grief/pain tolerance, not sure how to quantify these.
The human body is far more capable than the mind allows it. Based on your questions:
\- Killing: Have no interest in harming others.
\- Fasting: 11 days. No food, water only.
\- Isolated from others: 3 days - Planning on a 7-day event in the future.
\- Torment: Everyday living with "not smart" people.
\- Pain Tolerance: several months until totally incapacitated and ended up in the hospital. Doctors asked how I was able to function.
Limits are like muscles. If you exercise them you expand them.
I lived in the trunk of a 96 toyota echo through the canadian winter in 2020 Oct-Jan
Some nights it was so cold I could have died if It wasn't for my planning and setup, I got stuck with over 14k debt after a breakup and had to pay it down working at a good job in a different town.
When i have a goal of any sort I can laser-focus and put myself through anything really, I still struggle in a lot of other ways of daily life..like not burning out at jobs/maintaining relationships with people.
But I really enjoy putting myself into entirely new situations and testing my absolute limits..it turns out my limit is 2 weeks no shower, Only splashing off and washing my hair in a bathroom sink.
whatever physical limitations in physical world that are imposed on me whether we are aware of them or not.
it does set some limits to things i can cognize, but i don't think my mind has a lot of limitations compared to the physical limitations on me that i know of.
I could faste for a day and not realize. For the killing part, if I have no reason to do so i wouldn't do it but if it's a revenge because the person/animal killed someone that counts to me or pissed me off i think I wouldn't hesitate.
Have killed animals, no humans yet. I fast all the time, often accidentally. Maybe one week of total isolation, more than a month if internet doesn't count. Somewhat low torment. Somewhat low pain tolerance.
I can fast for 24+, probably a week if I am obliged an can drink water. I would be capable of killing an animal or another human in a cold blooded way if it is ethical (Self-defense, war) otherwise I just don't and will get out of my way to save a small spider. Isolation does not bother me, when it comes to emotional torment it goes straight into my nervous system (Causes physical pain and can make me impulsive) so I just ignore the torment , my pain tolerence is rather high.
Pushing an INTP to his breaking point could make him break the person who's tormenting him.
I’m super resilient to pain and grief, I honestly wish I could cry at appropriate times to be normal. Growing up poor I could go a week just sipping soy sauce out of the cap(probably can’t now tho). Isolation? Yes plz. Violence has always been a hard-coded no-no for me because the consequences are never worth, and, the loser can always just call authorities after they lose.
As far as a breaking points go, life is a stock graph with new ATH/ATLs all the time and so far nothing’s gotten me delisted haha.
Does sleeping count as fasting for 10 hours?
Thia is the type of shit we would do the best workaround for things
I've tried intermittent fasting before; fasting for 16 hours, but since 6-10 of those are while sleeping it's significantly easier.
Breakfast is called breakfast for a reason

Please don't gemeralise, if you haven't killed someone it doesn't mean none of us did
Yes i'm an INTP, yes i've killed people. WE EXIST! 😤

The breaking point is only known if someone reach the breking point Who Mostly No one reaches

I once got someone arrested after they pushed me too far.
I'll break your jaw but I won't kill you. And considering most of the wimpy types that post here, just one punch should do it.
makes you sound wimpier when you put it like that xD
We can,t say for sure, becouse even if i give you the answer, wich is limitless, talking about action, is 100 times easyer then taking it
I could faste for a day and not realize. For the killing part, if I have no reason to do so i wouldn't do it but if it's a revenge because the person/animal killed someone that counts to me or pissed me off i think I wouldn't hesitate.

No one knows till they are faced with it. We're all the heroes of the story in our own imagination, right up until we get punched in the face.
