'I logged on to vent a different version of the same story. I'm so tired of games people play with each other (and me). I just want a small, quiet life to share with someone who may see those games...
Ahaha. Please allow me to interrupt you at your warp 12 speed to let you know it's not nearly so dramatic or interesting. Legal repercussions would be unlikely and minor. My driving point was more a...
Challenge is excellent. I'll check that out; thanks for the suggestion!
I guess you could say I like documentaries that are people-based. And have a touch of ridiculousness/insanity that is the world. Sicko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UReMPrjMT9E ...about...
Hm. I'm friendly touchy (as in physical gestures, a pat on the arm - things like that), but most often awkward-touchy beyond that (I like my personal space/dislike false gestures). BUT, I do love...
Weird situation: I broke off our unhealthy relationship. He had already mailed me something. Before the breaking off/up - I feel he pushed me into accepting this gift (he said he was going to...
I am annoyed with myself because I perceive everything so neutrally - or perhaps, see multiple sides to everything. I end up not fighting fairly for myself. So yeah, I told you the truth...

Despite everything, I believe people really are good at heart. (Anne Frank)
Puntje I relate to what you said. I was in that headspace in my late teens/early twenties. I became physically sick much later. It could be really beneficial to see a therapist. In my early...
In answer to the chicken or egg question, I tested as an INFJ years before I became sick. I do think I exhausted myself, perhaps contributing to or allowing opportunistic illness to set in. Instead...
I'm not sure if you're really finding your truth or just being a dick. Maybe both? I'm so tired of this loop.
I think parenthood is great - if you want to be a parent. I love kids, but my biological clock never kicked in. I don't feel the innate need to reproduce. *shrug*
scook21 I'm so sorry to hear of your troubles. That's a lot to deal with along with your pregnancy. Something I've been thinking about a lot is how I've felt that sensitivity to stress is...
It doesn't have to be the exact same thing; illness (chronic, invisible, etc) comes in many forms. It's so interesting to see the common threads, the distinctions, and the coping mechanisms. ...
It's good to hear y'all continue to chime in... thank you, everyone, for sharing. @laura palmer - keep up the immune system of gold! Always good to hear. :happy: @easytoslip - interesting...
Yes, yes, I'm so on board! Link me the thread? ...I shall prepare the fainting couch.
I don't swoon nearly enough, so I'm writing myself a prescription for that, stat! :tongue:
So glad to hear you've stepped out of the twilight zone. That place is the worst. On a different note, love your self-medicating technique of Clive Owen swooning. That's the spirit. :wink:
I read that and kept repeating flabbergasted out loud to myself. (It IS fun to say!)

Ah, I love Oscar Wilde. :-)
I've only seen unschooling be labeled and come out as a movement over the last few years. I was homeschooled 'til 10th grade, and while reading up on unschooling, realized that my parents sorta...
I came across this article about unschooling. Unschooling: The Case for Setting Your Kids Into the Wild | Nature | OutsideOnline.com If this term is new to you, the jist is that kids learn...

I hate being a medical mystery. I wish I could will myself to get better. ...I wish other people would stop thinking I'd get better if I just tried harder. My best friend told me, If I was as...
It makes sense. Under stressors (physical or otherwise), your autonomic nervous system reacts with the fight or flight response. That means hyperawareness/sensitivity to your environment (due to...
In the past, I've had a pretty high pain tolerance. Like @Swede, I was taught & retained tendencies to walk it off, sometimes accidentally ignoring severe injuries. In answer to...
@Collective83, I didn't see many replies from people who've been in open relationships, so here's my two cents as a INFJ female who's been in a few. From your post, it's hard to figure out in what...

If I have synesthesia, it's a mashup. Some of it may not be strictly synesthesia; I dunno. I see distinct patterns and/or colors (usually both) when I hear music. Much like @jdstankosky...

I posted on this thread ages ago. Catching up, I feel compelled to chime in, particularly Aradella and Emerald Legend, whose comments resonated with how I used to feel. I kept my suicidal...
You're welcome. So now that you've figured out your type, has your question changed? Originally, I thought you were asking for help personally identifying type through your Indigo characteristics....
Heya DewTheDrewby, What an interesting thought, if your Indigo traits could help you figure out your Myers-Briggs type. I like interesting. :happy: There are some threads about Indigo children...
Wow, it's been almost a year since I started this thread. Since then, I have specifics to add. When I first began to feel sick, I sought out regular medical help and alternative health care. Without...

DeweyMorning, it counts. I'm curious as to any chronic symptom that might run through INFJs. Side note - I get eczema too, but for some reason - only on my hands.
Jamie.Ether, what you said sounds exactly what I've repeated to some people. (Oh, I've MISSED talking to other INFJs!) Particularly I feel like I'm focusing too much on my health right now (like...
Thank you for your responses... Miss_Terry - I appreciate you sharing your experience, the roundabout paragraph does very much indirectly answer my question. As Perspicacious said and...
Yes, I hyperfocus.* *1) I saw the thread title, thought, oh yes, I do that 2) read the post and first response, and thought, Yes, while simultaneously running through some DSM-IV...
There've been a lot of posts about mental/emotional illnesses & personality type, but I didn't see anything specifically related to physical illness & personality type. (Please let me know if I...
I also love ENTPs. Two good friends of mine are ENTPs. With one, we were housemates for a while and lived together well. She let me have my space, and invited people over in casual ways (that I...
vocalist, that's so funny - I just realized I do the same thing. What btmangan said makes sense, that our intuition kicks in to make us be more laidback when really, we're just adjusting to the ebb...
So, my short answer is yes. Although, as relating to the zodiac, I tend to think of zodiac progression as more symbolic than literal. In my experience, trying to separate metaphysical matters into...
You're welcome. :happy:
Prometheus Faust, I've been in a similar situation before, in which an ENTP did something that really, really hurt me. I told him that I needed a break from talking to him, because I had to process...'
