'Kinda funny revisiting this thread and realizing that what I had wanted to feel was not the same thing as what the thread was about. I only know this because I actually DID feel that crazy...
I'm a Gemini, but there are as many stereotypes about the type that don't fit me as there are that do. I only identify as a Gemini in the sense that I like the concept of the dual nature - which...
I've been wondering the same thing, honestly! Been feeling extremely isolated lately due to approaching my mid-30s and realizing suddenly that all my friends are significantly younger than me (read:...
I collapsed after I made it a couple of days ago, so didn't get to post until now, but I made it! :D Pulled a 7000+ word day at the end there out of sheer desperation. (The 26th was the last day I...
Never feel bad about saying no to sex. If he can't take no for an answer, then you've certainly seen his true nature and don't have anything to gain by keeping him around. No decent person should...
Makes complete sense to me! That's actually the thing that got me started pursuing this in the first place. I suspect that as they get more rounded out between all the functions, INFPs and ISTJs move...
Thanks! I didn't catch the second link before when I was searching. The first I have seen, but it's a little different directly asking for input from more people. :)
Aaaahhhh, thanks! It definitely helps, especially seeing an ISTJ doing something that seems very stereotypically INFP! Not that INFPs have a monopoly on such things, obviously - it's just the sort of...
I know that Fi is a less preferred cognitive function to ISTJs, but it's still there beneath the surface. As an INFP, I'm fascinated by ISTJs; we share the same functions, but with different...
I tend to get the people around me who matter to either do the MBTI themselves or get them to share the results they've already gotten themselves. Beyond that, it depends on how well I know the...
I got out of a long up-and-down relationship with an INFJ a few months ago. We were rocky from the beginning and it never stopped being that way. I too felt manipulated into staying multiple times...
Always and forever a fan of high quality Disney - and often some of the lesser quality ones as well. Yes, of course there are still problematic issues embedded within them, but there's a certain...
I've fallen slightly behind (I still have about 3k words to write today to catch up, so it's not bad) but wanted to check in and see how my fellow INFPs were doing. ^_^ Sitting on 23k here!
Hope you're all doing well! I'm hanging around the average still myself; just got to 10k! :D
You need to play more BioWare games! Mass Effect and Dragon Age are my lifeblood for that. (Especially Dragon Age.) KOTOR 1 and 2 are also somewhat in that vein.
Well, NaNoWriMo is more about getting the words on the page. The finished product will require editing and such regardless, so view NaNo as a guideline moreso than the end of the journey. :)
Definitely grew up with this mentality; us being family and them being everyone else. No matter how much I open up to others, it always comes back to that in the end. No one else can be trusted...
I'm more of a short story writer myself, so I'm more than a little nervous about this myself. KindOfBlue06 You could possibly get an outline down and research after....or maybe research before the...
Going to do this for the first time myself this year. :) I don't know if I'll make it to the end due to really heavy RL commitments, but I will make a dent in this story. Good luck, fellow INFPs!
I'm curious what the INFP community thinks of Smite (MOBA in closed beta), since you get to play mythological figures (technically gods, but when you start calling Arachne a goddess, the definition's...
Well good, as long as you're being grounded about the whole thing, then that's okay. Just didn't want you getting hung up on someone who may not be right for you....or might be and isn't willing to...
Me too. I have gotten grief for not trying all possibilities of playthroughs, but I don't really care. I just can't play a person who isn't empathic. And proud of it!
Or. I shall be doing even more research on INFJ/INFP relationships because I seriously cannot live without this man in my life and we're too close to pull off a normal (read: more distant)...
If a relationship is toxic and you KNOW it's toxic, no matter what it started out like, you need to get out. It's especially hard with that first love; INFPs seem to be pretty good at selling...
The first few chapters of Chamber of Secrets are up. :)
If you're having problems with that, then you probably need close friends who understand you better for who you are. Just my two cents, though.
....I vote he stays. :laughing:
Best use of that song I've ever seen. ;)
Is this a euphemism for something?
I wish JK Rowling was an INFP, since I can relate to her so well! But she's so meticulously organized, I really think she's either INFJ or an incredibly disciplined INFP.
Looking back, this interpretation was one of many possibilities and ultimately wasn't the right match. I wanted to believe that this was just another case of overlooking the obvious, but that didn't...
So you're saying that you entertain a number of guests often? u200b(Someone had to say it!)
This is why INFPs excel at romance (in an idealized sense) - we are playful and sincere and downright okay with being silly! How many people are missing that from their lives? :
|Both! After all, you can go with your gut and things may still not go swimmingly. There's no guarantee that going with your gut with lead you into a good situation. However, not trusting your gut...
Now there's a tour guide to remember!
This post brings the word bodice to mind for no particular reason.
Yes, because you realize that it doesn't matter about how anyone else perceives the world; it's okay for you to be slightly off-beat and take things as you do. Plus, it's easier in some ways that...
But....but...you're a lone wolf. Isn't that the point? :confused:
Go with the flow, basically. :) And know that you're (likely) in safe hands. :D
This thread has dinosaurs in it now? Even better! @beingbella: Saying things like that among fellow INFPs is waving a red cape at the bulls. We have all inevitably felt like that at least once...
True enough, but still, I am happily taken. ^_^ I just like the warm fuzziness of this thread.
TWO adorable INTJs? Seriously, the female INFPs should be all over this. ;) kaleidoscope: I'm not available as a match; I just have an appreciation of INTJs. :D
It's adorable! :proud:
@ImnottheonlyINFP: That is ultimately the point I aspire to reach. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a box of tissues here that needs pruning....
*blinks* *double checks to see who posted this* *arches a quizzical eyebrow* Aren't you a little idealistic for a Rational? :wink: *flees the area, but takes the popcorn with her*
None of that! This is a happy thread. And slightly disturbing sometimes. But mostly happy!
*gets out the cough syrup and chicken soup, dragging both to the milkshake corner*
This thread is amazing because we have INFPs bouncing off the walls, then they suddenly get self-conscious. Then the other INFPs swoop in to reassure them that they're okay, because that's what we...
You have the power of Snoopy on your side. Seriously, who can resist Snoopy?
Papoy? :cool:'
