'Pretty much. As with any type (though some more than others, when it comes to initial compatibility), they just have to be mature - as a further illustration on this point, I met my INTJ man seven...
I'm with this guy. I also dislike banana or bananas, specifically when it is pronounced by young women with the Irritating American Woman Standard Valley Girl Accent that makes it sound like...
Found a bucket of extremely rotten and way too far gone cilantro at work in the back. Again. Upon lifting said bucket to bring it down, black sludge came pouring out of the bottom and onto me,...
I go to bars occasionally, but usually only with my boyfriend and a few other folks. We like to people-watch and tend to have fun just sipping our drinks and listening in on really weird...
At first I read the title to this thread as do you like cheese, and I got really excited for a minute to be able to talk about my great love for cheese, but then I blinked and it turned into chase...
I think it really depends on the individual and background. I've been with my INFP for approaching a year now and we have a wonderful, honest, loving relationship, and tons of fun - he's equally...
Fall. Winter is my true favorite season, as I the love cold weather and twinkling lights more than anything else on this planet (plus hot beverages and warm snuggling), but fall takes the cake...
You have no idea how comforting it is to know that there are other people who are also mathematically broken. Any equation that cannot be performed on ten fingers is simply out of the question....
Of course it is! Someone's personality type shouldn't deter you from going after someone, I've known some S/N divided relationships that have worked out very well. I dated an ISTJ for almost a...
I've been dating my INFP man for eight months and he is the most wonderful amazing awesome super cool badass person I've ever met. I, too, assumed much about the 'wishy-washy' stereotype that...
Till We Have Faces, by C. S. Lewis The way he wrote that broke my heart. The characters had depth, emotion; it was dark and twisted, beautiful and poetic; but all of them belonged together, they...
For the first time in my life, I ate a shrimp two days ago and liked it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UahqgK60vuk Jim Gaffigan every day of the week. He's funny without being completely obnoxious like so many other comedians. Also, lots of food jokes, because...
While I was still seeing a therapist some years ago, and struggling greatly with identity and purpose and self-worth, one afternoon she sat me down, looked at me very kindly, and said, Don't worry...
My mother is an ISFJ, while my father is an ISTJ. My mom understands me best, though we still have a few misfires when trying to communicate some of the reasons we do/want to do certain things or...
It's amazing you say that. When I'm playing vidjagames with my headset, everyone automatically assumes I am a young, prepubescent male or a 40 year old woman, and I can't tell you how much fun I have...
Vocaroo | Voice message I enjoy listening to all of these immensely.
Simplicity, which I find is one of the most complicated things to achieve. I would also like to make people happy - just to allow them to see that they CAN be happy, no matter the circumstances....
I've never gushed before. This feels odd, but I'm going to do it, and I'm probably going to like it. After seven months of enchanting romance from a most considerate and gentle, firm-willed...
My closest female friend is an ISFP, and she's much the same way. She can be a roiling ocean of dark despair and torn anxiety that I feel I must occasionally help steer her through, but at the end of...
As I've stated in the past, I have a natural ability to take something simple and complicate it. So while I think INFJs are surprisingly simple creatures, we just tend to take a thing and muddle it...
I'm an INFJ with an INTP, and our relationship is rather similar to yours. My INTP has been making every effort to 'clean himself up' and set his life in order to please me (stable job, keeping his...
Give me the horrible truth every time. I don't care how much it hurts me, because I probably asked for it anyway; but I would rather have someone's honesty than feel like I'm not worth the truth. ...
Oh! Um, well golly, thank you! Though I'm pretty sure that would be a bad idea because all I can picture right now is every recording devolving into analogies of birds.
This looks interesting. Vocaroo | Voice message I AM CLEARLY EXCELLENT AT FIRST IMPRESSIONS.
Edit: Dagnabbit, I'm too tired from work, I read that she was your friend instead of your cousin. DERP. Well, I suppose when you think about it, this will likely be the one day in her life she'll...
I've yet to find an effective way of balancing these needs; so far the only system I have for dealing with this mental tug-of-war is a matter of exhausting myself in each extreme as necessary. ...
RLY RLY LONG POST GUH SORRY I don't normally post in relationship threads because they can be such a sticky business, and often the person asking for help has to go through the process of Trial...
When I'm alone all I can think about is other people, and when I'm around other people all I can think about is being alone. I crave the human contact, but I can't fully appreciate the contact...
Nearly every ISTJ I've ever met has given me an immediate feeling of trust and security; if ever there is an important task that needs doing or a deep problem that needs talking about, I usually end...
Not gonna lie, this will be hurting you for a while. It's easy to tell someone to just pick themselves up and move on, but actually going through it, writhing and struggling with those feelings of...
I'm kind of borderline OCD about how clean and organized my stuff needs to be, but I'm okay with a bit of mess if it's got some kind of system. You know, small-things-junk-pile,...
Depending on how severe the conflict is, I can't go to bed with that whirring around unresolved in my mind. I internalize stress and anxiety to the point where it can manifest physically (as a small...
Of course it does, wouldn't this bother anyone? On the one hand, I feel injured and angry like Unico (I've always liked your posts for some reason; possibly because you DO seem so real), since it...
I do. I absolutely do. Even when I'm out driving around town, I'll look at people in their cars and either one of two thoughts pop up in my head: 1) LOL what would they look like without their...
The less I like someone, the nicer I get. No idea how this manages to work out unless I am subconsciously trying to live by the keep your friends close, and your enemies closer saying, but even...
Bullying, light or heavy, is still emotionally scarring and will be carried throughout the rest of your life even if you can't recognize the symptoms. You can learn to overcome them, but there will...
I was homeschooled starting in 4th Grade up until I graduated high school this year. It was, frankly put, the best thing my mother ever did for me. It gave me the chance to grow on my own without...
My immune system is pretty awesome, as like KelseyT I only get sick twice a year - once in May and once in November, almost like clockwork. Otherwise, I'm not typically strong. I exercise every...
Only child. I'd have liked a sibling; it was kind of lonely growing up, as I never made friends very easily (nor did I ever have more than one at a time) and we'd only get to do stuff together...
Brown. A deep, warm, coffee brown. Do you dream in color or black & white?
I've always looked exactly my age until I hit about 14, 15, and then time just stopped. I'm 18 right now, so I must've gotten it from my mother because she's always looked younger. Look on the...
I honestly do, because every day I see more and more of society's family values going down the drain. It's all about being unattached and fancy-free to bag whoever you want, whenever you want, and...
Yes. Only one or two of my closest friends know of this. It's an extremely private part of who I am, because every time I've opened up about my real 'life's dream' in the past, people have either...
As it happens, I am an incredibly safe driver, moreso than the majority of my friends and family - but my problem lies in having absolutely no navigational skills whatsoever. On the other hand,...
All the time, man. Good gosh. When I find myself in a group of friends, everyone else will be chatting and laughing and generally having a good time - while I am peacefully situated on the...
Seeing this thread just gave me an overwhelming sense of I am not a disaster of a human being after all. I love you guys and I don't even know you. But yeah, I'm in the same boat. I have a...
Being completely and perfectly alone to sing. I'm very shy about that, so there are few things I look forward to more than having a long, quiet afternoon to myself just to warble and generally make a...
This is my first post in PersonalityCafe, oddly enough - I've been a lurker for several months, but only decided to join today after nearly killing my friend with a monologue along the lines of LIEK...'
