Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

'Dear self, Seems like you are going to keep being a level 1 mage for a while. Truth is you still don't know what the hell you are doing. It's okay I guess. You got a lot to deal with as is. Deep...

Dear self, Not sure how you managed to attract the attention of two guys at the exact same time, but you'll probably have to chose soon. They'll both be at the same party, so good luck figuring...

You know you're a IXFJ when having a lot of social plans up in the air simultaneously makes you anxious. I need to be able to plan for how long I need to be in a social mood lol.

Dear everyone, Why is it always when I'm super busy that you all want to hang out with me? Not that I'm complaining. I actually like it, but wow I am doing a lot of logistical gymnastics to make...

I think this can be the case in one-one-one dynamics though it can be trickier in groups with weak Se. Sometimes I am pretty off and socially awkward if I have been left to my own devices too long...

Good points! Does this come in English? ...Nevermind! Just had to change the language settings!

At least you said please. :laughing:

Basically, this means it's not going to work out in the longterm until you want it to work out longterm, which is fine as long as you are honest about it. Most people just don't like being strung...

Sounds like a pain in the ass!

Honestly, as fun as it can be, not sure if I can keep up. You guys get bored really quickly lol. Even us Ni-doms that are more of a puzzle to figure out than average, you still can get bored with,...

Does the untethered Ne-dom have patience for us? edit: oh you asked how! Not sure honestly. I think we are just fascinated with it!

Dear self, How did your schedule fill up with so many activities so quickly? Looks like you are on another rollercoaster for the next few months. Not sure how you're going to handle it, but I...

When I'm in a social mood, I think I generally can make a charming first impression, but I am probably an acquired taste in consistent interactions as my eccentric and somewhat opinionated nature...

You care about humanity as a whole, but generally don't like (not necessarily dislike, but not particularly fond of either), or are not interested in, most people individually. You make an effort to...

And usually your opinion is different from both of theirs or you're somewhere in between as you can see some merit on both sides.

Nice! I actually have a considerable collection of INFJ and INTJ friends and family members. I met at least 2 INTJ girls (one I was fairly good friends with), one of my best friends is an INTJ trans...

I thought this was just pretty common in general lol. It's either because I don't want to make small talk with a random acquaintance or person I barely know or it's because I do not have the...

Checked out the voting simulators they have, too, and that is also really neat!

This is very fascinating! I was able to calculate the correct answer for the first scenario, but I got too lazy and just guessed for the later two. For my own playing strategy, I chose cooperate 3...

I guess I am somewhere in the middle. I enjoy interacting with people on here and exploring ideas, but I also feel like I have a decent (albeit also spread out) community in real life as well. Home...

Sounds a bit like imposter's syndrome to me or just a general lack of faith in your own abilities. Maybe you are just highly self-critical and don't give yourself enough credit, and maybe a bit...

Outside of this forum, I think the only type I got to know fairly well in person is an ESTP, and honestly I admired and fell for him even though he also frustrated me at times. He just had so much...

Okay, understood. You were explaining your ISTP functions. I just misread where in some places you said (like NTPs). Blaming my weak Se lol. My apologies oh great Lord of Tinkering! :wink:

Actually, NTPs use Ne/Si, not Se/Ne, but I guess technically everyone uses alls the functions lol. Ha! I can relate to this description, too, lol.

The ISTP function stack is Ti-Se-Ni-Fe in case you were wondering, so they actually have the same four functions in their functional stack as us INFJs, just scrambled up differently lol.

I was complete and utter shit at this as I didn't even notice one change because I was trying too hard to focus on a few things I expected to change that didn't lol.

I think to describe sensing as basic is rather discrediting to sensors. Advanced sensory functioning can be just as impressive as advanced intuition. As an intuitive, while the abstract comes...

The only advice I'd really give is just be honest. Otherwise, just make sure you pick an opportune time where they are not too distracted and are ready to listen, not that I would expect that to be...

Like @lavendersnow said, I actually sometimes just self-sooth, too, when I'm sad though sometimes I appreciate a listening ear just so I can verbalize my thoughts and sort things out. I think she...

No problem! Glad to help! :proud:

I think it depends on the individual and the situation, so I'll just state how it is for me. If I am severely upset to the point of crying, I probably would just want emotional validation. If I'm...

Dear self, You need to start getting yourself back in order. That means normal sleep cycle, spending less time distracting yourself online, getting work done more efficiently, and making more of...

This description is so fitting! It reminds me of this song. https://youtu.be/uxOz7EYzVAQ

A lot of people in general can frustrate me regardless of personality type. It's less frustrating when communication is clearer and more reciprocal.

For me, it's actually (at least in part) about finding a happy medium between those people that hardcore already want to get married and settle down and people that are only really interested in...

Yeah, I get that, too. In my case, I think it's also because I am a bit socially awkward, too, lol. Though compared to how socially awkward some people I meet are, I look like a socially adept genius...

These are good points. I do have a tendency to see potential in people though this sometimes gets me in trouble because having potential does not equate to using potential. I've had to learn that not...

Good point. People of different backgrounds and identities doesn't inherently make them odd, just different from me. Maybe I just mean that the group of people I know does not appear very...

Yeah, it probably isn't. I just thought the high frequency of occurrence for me was above average is all. Maybe it isn't though. I just found it strange when both my K-12 and undergrad institutions...

Hi fellow INFJs, I was wondering if you also experience this phenomenon. I've noticed that basically my entire life, that I have a tendency to attract an odd assortment of people without doing so...

Sounds exactly like one of my guy friends. He's clinically depressed, so I don't want to make him feel worse. I know some of his unattractiveness is just because he's so poor like he has really bad...

I think some of the trouble is that a lot of movies have lost their rewatchability. Sure, some films I enjoy and am awed by initially, but after I get the gist there's no reason for me to go back....

For me, it usually depends on my workload and stress levels on how organized I am. Moderate workload and stress levels are ideal for me organization-wise because my mind is engaged and motivated, but...

Wow! How did she react? I have a hard time telling people that they are ugly, especially in circumstances where I know there's no easy fix for them. Many people can improve their looks just with...

Yeah, I can relate here. I am more likely to omit parts of the truth than to flat out lie. I have this one guy friend that is a total emotional wreck that I am pretty sure he couldn't handle the...

Dear INFX friend (probably INFP?), It's not that I dislike you, but I must maintain strong boundaries because you are immature, undisciplined, and rather emotionally toxic. I know you are dealing...

I don't have a job.
