That's really cool of you. I like it when anyone does anything to help others with no gain to themselves regardless of type, and ISTP's are good at thinking of what will help in a practical sense. My...
I know what you mean. It's not my usual approach. I actually have worked with abused women professionally. I gave her all the advice I could and luckily she is someone I think will listen. You know...
Balanced. Nice. Yeah my ISTP boyfriend is always ready to make every excuse under the sun for peoples behavior, which is nice and can contribute to more peaceful relationships. I too try and be very...
Hey jinhong91 . Thank you for your replies, I forget just how pragmatic a lot of ISTP's are! Maybe he view situations in that way. In fact I'm sure he does. I guess I don't care about my rewards as...
Ok then point taken. There are indeed many cultures that think sexism is perfectly acceptable for example, and that a womans opinions and desires are less important than a mans. So there is no...
I would have gone to the festival with the boys on the train :)
I hate missing out on things. If I get a free evening to myself I start panicking about wasting time and frantically search the internet for activities and call friends until I find someone to play...
My gosh. You sound like Vulcans ;) . Hey Ik3 I always like reading your posts. I said the word 'coward' was deliberately provocative; that's how this behavior appears to me but I was sure you guys...
My gosh. You sound like Vulcans ;) . Hey Ik3 I always like reading your posts. I said the word 'coward' was deliberately provocative; that's how this behavior appears to me but I was sure you guys...
Sorry for the deliberately provocative thread title!! I just read BlackLion's thread below and it made me want to go off on a tangent... ISTP's are described as brave, fearless etc in MBTI...
Yeah...gentle quirkiness ;) xx
Wow that's beautiful thank you for sharing that. I have been known my ISTP boyfriend for a very, very long time. Being together is a more recent thing (a few years). I can see how this relationship...
I love Audrey!! This thread is funny the people whose posts I have read since I joined the forum do seem to fit the actors given! I would be played by Nicole Kidman...she was pretty good at...
That's nice. My bf says that about not even being sure about how he feels sometimes, like it's all tangled up and hazy. I have to read into his actions :) . I would say from the ones I know that's...
That's interesting. INFP's are the type I feel most similar to...our stack is similar. And I have this dynamic almost with my boyfriend...we don't understand each other fully. We think very...
I really understand, it's very hard being a single ENFP parent! My children love me but I struggle with this too..I find it easy to discipline what I view as actually bad behavior..things like being...
I posted a thread about my relationship on the ISTP forum this year when I was struggling to understand my ISTP boyfriend. May be worth a look if you want some idea of the struggles that may lay...
Thanks for being so honest about your life. It's frustrating when people look at the past through rose tinted lenses, I admire people that can be more rational and see what a relationship was...
Noooooo!!! Stop that fatalistic nonsense right now! I'm only joking, I love INFx's, but the ones I know frustrate me because they won't try to get the things they want. It's not selfish; maybe he's...
Your life just sounds kind of empty maybe? ENFP's aren't hedonists. Pleasure and happiness are different. Maybe you are just bored of trying to find the next fun thing to see/person to play with and...
I have been through a few phases of my life with this problem. You end up with really nice, good and decent female friends because the other ones, prone to jealousy or competition, will unfortunately...
I'm a little different, I have a number of close friends but not all of them are NF. I agree with the rest...you shouldn't worry OP, with age you will learn to spend time with the best people you...
I humbly and politely disagree with....errr...everyone. Apart from cinnamom who said you friendzoned yourself!! I've been with my ISTP boyfriend for a long time now, and in the last month or so we've...
Yeah I too think even if it's disappointing at least it gives us the desire to try :)
Real life is never the same as my projections, but surely dreaming of how good things will be is half the fun of anything? Even if it doesn't come true, you can enjoy both your projection and the...
Sorry for being sarcastic. It just makes me upset when people are so rude but I shouldn't be rude in return.
I agree with you that an eternity of torture would be wicked in itself. Please read the bible. There is no 'hellfire'. It's a man made teaching, based on Greek philosophy that polluted the christian...
You meant 'reminding' not 'remembering' oh wise one :D !!! I thought the Noah question was fascinating. There is scientific evidence for a global flood, as well as legends in disparate cultures....
Idiotic and retard. My, you sound pleasant :wink: . What a wonderful advert for morality without the need of religion!! Who do you think created these laws? The clue is in the word law. The...
People are all individuals so I guess it always depends on the person. I found with my experience it was a case of the same strengths and the same weaknesses meaning a lack of chemistry. Both non...
I'm an F type and here's my take; I am highly emotional and detest conflict because it causes me anguish. However I believe nothing is solved by walking away, the only way to resolve conflict is to...
Wow that's funny, I've seen that in lots of 'I' types...like once they actually start talking, they must get it all out!! It's kind of like the 'E' thing...sometimes for extroverts it can be like...
Sigh. I love theoretical philosophizing. I'm a strong 'N'. I believe if you read the sentence in context I become bored of it ONCE IT HAS SERVED IT'S PURPOSE for the time being. I believe sensors and...
Oh yeah...you guys have it even worse sometimes. My ENTP boyfriend drove me mental analyzing every tiny thing!!
Just for that sarcastic comment at the end alone...please don't do it!!!!!! I was with a few INTJ's, one I even had children with...and it's just a horrible combination unless you are both mature and...
I feel that way often. I think to be an ENFP is to be perpetually unsatisfied, always knowing you are missing something and there are truths beyond your perception. Is there an opposite word to...
Weird. I also work for a non-profit organisation..... However, I really hate my job. Love helping people but cannot stand all the dry, boring procedure and administration. Or the pressure of very...
I think ISTP's and ISFP'S don't particularly 'fit in' either in fairness...but they seem more ok with it, and not being E's stick out a lot less at school! People just let them be...people seemed...
Can I be an INFP please? You know....quite like myself with the awesome Ne but without all of the exhausting need to connect with everyone in the universe!!!
Oh dear you have made me feel very unkind. Which is how I often feel with my mom!! Lol. I wrote that post after our latest disagreement :D . My mother is a great woman, and when she gossips...it's...
*occurrence (stoopid phone)
I'm procrastinating right now!!! I hate chores I only do them when people are coming over and I am shamed into it. Which is far too regular an occur acne for my liking......
Somali Pirate made me laugh...I think some of the 'we are N's with our superhuman 6th sense, mere S mortals' attitude does come from being in a minority.. A lot of N's are bullied at school as...
Hey Tim agreed. I was like that when I was younger. ENFPs so want to please, and are so unjudgemental (their bad behaviour is because of their background/ circumstances! etc) that we can become...
Yeah my son gets grumpy about it too :)
I think ENFP's yet to have children should really think about this...loss of freedom is very hard for us.
You sound like an amazing mom! Really got is down better than me :D These bits I related to...all of my angry face/voice is completely fake. It's a persona I have to put on, because kids need...
This may work with him. But I will have to present him with evidence, studies... :) he has a good heart so I hope it will work.
I always end up feeling responsible for the wellbeing of everyone I've ever met. It's really stressful. INFP's are so kind, but they don't seem to take on everyone they come in contact with! I like...
Dear ENTP, Please. Please. Stop. TALKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No offence. And I am aware from an ENFP this seems ironic. ENFP who just lost the will to live
