About Me
Hello! My personality type is often called an ENTJ-INTJ blend or INTxJ. I’m a 33-year-old telecom, AI, software, application, and web developer. I speak Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and Czech natively (or almost natively), and I’m always happy to lend a hand if you need help. I also speak English, French, German, and Greek, and I’m currently learning Arabic and Farsi-so if you want to help me practice, hit me up!
I’m available on WhatsApp, Viber, and Telegram if you prefer chatting there..
About My Personality
I’d describe myself as creative and active, but my temperament is a mix of all four classic types (sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic). Growing up, I was almost the opposite of what I am now, which I think is part of normal personal development. I’m a bit of both an extrovert and an introvert: I love hanging out with fun people, but I also need time alone to work and think without distractions.
I’m really into exploring different psychological traits-like Jung’s logical/ethical, sensory/intuitive, and rational/irrational divides. I tend to shift between them depending on the situation. One thing’s for sure: I prefer making my own decisions and taking responsibility for them. I don’t really have a “herd instinct.”
For those of you into psychology: I’m pretty sure I’m a hyperthymic type. One of my biggest traits is curiosity. As a kid, my favorite questions were “Why?” and “How?” I’ve always loved diving into the root of things-finding patterns, relationships, and connections. That’s why I’m fascinated by the intersection of different fields of knowledge. Sometimes you don’t really get it until you step outside your usual mental box.
If my tendency to ramble or use long sentences is getting on your nerves, no worries-you’ve got two options: click away and spare yourself, or come back later. (I’m totally aware I’m a bit of a nerd, and yes, there are different types of nerds too!)
My personality might change over time, and so might your perception of me-so stay tuned if you’re curious. If you’re still here, let’s keep going. I love new, unusual, and non-standard ideas, but not to the point of absurdity. I’m always up for absorbing new info and experiences, especially if I can put them to good use.
I’m very creative and I prefer making something fresh (or reinventing something old) over doing the same thing again and again. I don’t like biases or “ready-made” answers to hypothetical questions—they come off as dogmatic or stereotypical. I’d rather think through a situation before deciding how to react. Still, I’m human; I do have some hidden biases. I’m grateful to people who help me identify and overcome them. At first I might resist, but a solid argument usually wins me over.
My View on Extremes & Selfishness
I’m not a fan of extremes-whether it’s strict punctuality and law-abiding behavior or total negligence and anarchy. Living at either extreme uses a lot of energy that could be spent more productively. I’d rather find a comfortable balance.
I can come across as selfish, though some people mistake me for an altruist. For me, “selfish” doesn’t mean hurting others; it’s just not wanting to give my time and resources if there’s no benefit-or at least some small personal satisfaction. Yes, even simple human pleasure counts as a benefit to me!
That’s me in a nutshell-any questions? Feel free to reach out if you want to chat, practice languages, or just say hi. Cheers!

Requests
Alright, here’s the deal:
If I’m actually into a person or a problem, I’ll go all out and help without expecting anything back. But if someone tries to guilt-trip me or appeal to my “sense of duty,” I might just blow them off-even if it’s a trivial matter. It’s hard to respect someone who can’t explain clearly why they need something from me-or, more importantly, why I should care. I’m a total realist, so if I see my view of reality is off, I’ll try to correct it. I don’t do naive illusions, which doesn’t mean I view the world as dark. In fact, I see it as pretty soft, beautiful, and friendly-you’ve just gotta know how to live in it.
I’m a reasonable materialist, but I’m not gonna claim everything is purely physical or fully understood by science. So far, nothing in my life has contradicted that, but if you’ve got examples, I’m open to hearing them! In the meantime, I think most good things come from typical “materialistic” methods. I’m also an incorrigible optimist: I love being in a good mood and see no reason to give that up.
I’m what you might call an expressed nihilist when it comes to certain problems that drive other people into depression-things like unrequited love, breakups, insults, losing a job… if it’s not literally life-or-death, I’m not making it a mountain out of a molehill. Bad stuff happens on its own; I’m not into making it worse. When I’m chill, I’m super laid-back and easygoing-think a happy cat sprawled out on the couch, just lazily watching the world go by. I usually ignore small, unintentional mistakes people make. However, if someone intentionally messes with me, I can be pretty harsh. I see no need to be nice to people who think they have the right to push others around.
I’m also kind of a romantic-more on the inside than the outside. For example, you probably won’t catch me reciting poetry under the moon, but I do love listening to great poetry. I’m self-sufficient: that doesn’t mean I don’t need the outside world-it just means I can go for a while without interacting with it. If I want a certain situation or social circle, I can usually make it happen.
I love freedom. I reserve the right to control everything about myself-my mental, physical, spiritual, and material resources are mine. Anything I do within my personal space is my business, and if I step outside that space, I’ll usually ask permission. I only accept obligations I choose myself. If someone claims I owe them something, they’d better prove it.
Overall, I’m a logical, rational type-but I’ve still got a decent dose of romanticism, emotion, and even a spirit of adventure. Not much shocks or inspires me, but if something does, I’m all in.
About Muslims:
I’ve read the Quran and, in my opinion, it teaches you to learn and do things that are beneficial and harmless. I don’t buy it when people say Muslims do bad things. I’ll never give in to Islamophobia or side with those who call Muslims terrorists. Islam is a religion of peace, goodness, and love. It’s close to my own religion, and I have genuine respect for every follower who practices it sincerely. Don’t let the media’s fear-mongering get to you.
If you stuck around till the end, I’m pretty sure we can be friends. God bless you.
