'First time ever with a test I was not an INFJ. It typed me as an ENFJ. But I am most definitely not an extrovert. Trust me. :happy: Still, the NFJ was right on. I have no idea at all how it got E out...
I did this test. It was markedly different from a lot of the online MBTI mini-tests. I have never scored anything different than INFJ. Even when I have tried to slightly alter the way I am thinking...
I have an especially hard time dealing with social things for my kids' activities. A couple of recent examples: 1) My older daughter wanted to go to a school movie night this past Wednesday. It...
She might say that. Give her the chance at least. Are you worried she'll give you a hard time and then you'll have conflict with her for the rest of the semester? I can totally understand that....
I can empathize. And I can tell it's pretty upsetting to you. I don't know why else you would be so upset unless you were hurt and confused. I have experienced this, and it hurts to hear about how it...
Okay, this is my honest opinion: You need to get over this. Just talk to the teacher, tell them you somehow didn't get credit for it, and drop it. And I know this is hard. You're an INFJ....
But my point is that it doesn't matter if she put you down or not, and whether or not she thinks you pulled your weight in the group... You said she seemed reluctant to correct the problem. So I...
Are you willing to share a time this happened to you? I am curious about your fury...I know what that means for me, but I wonder if we experience similar levels. For example, my blood pressure...
I think the problem is that she sees it as a forum to give a nice little Narcissistic supply. I normally post things about my kids saying silly things, or frustrations over music I am writing. ...
I agree with you, and most of the time I just don't want to go there. It is too exhausting for me, and usually not worth it. I did it this time and I do know there is a sense of pride in having...
Well, she finally responded, got mean, and I doorslammed her. I told her off, said my piece, and unfriended her. I am so sick of seeing her on Facebook anyway. And I really don't like her. The sad...
Who made person #1 the authority to decide if a team member contributed enough to the group to get credit???
Usually what I say that I can't believe came out of my mouth is stammering, stuttering, rambling nonsense. It's embarrassing. It's usually at that point in a conversation when I tell the...
I am usually very very forgiving and let things slide a LOT. But when someone pushes too hard, too far, I often just snap and suddenly go off on them. So, as an INFJ I am wondering how it is for...
I was an officer in the US Air Force for 7 years. This was hard as an INFJ, because I often felt like I couldn't articulate things fast enough, and the military is very fast-paced and probably suits...
I agree. I think INFJs might be known for this more than other types because we are SO dedicated when we believe in something or someone. We give that cause or person everything we have emotionally...
Hmmm...I am an INFJ and the funny thing is that when I was a child I related better with adults. I had some friends my age, but I usually felt older and didn't want to socialize with the kids. As...
This is exactly how it happens with me, too. It has only happened a couple of times in my life, but when it happened it was quick and final. It was almost bizzare. And I had zero remorse or empathy,...
Yeah...I wonder if he is feeling overwhelmed by you? So often I will be with an extroverted friend and I will be having a great time for an hour or two, and then I suddenly just become exhausted....
Well you don't need to apologize. And the part about making yourself someone everyone will like...I guess I am concerned if you seriously would try to do that. Because it's not difficult--it's...
I don't know. I think we would need to browse their forum. Could be interesting.
Wow, kind of harsh. But. Yeah. I think it's possible that grammatical errors and extraneous style might be annoying to an INFJ. It is to me. I get caught in it and kind of can't move on from...
THIS. Yes. I actually get anxious when the phone rings. At the time I am writing this, I have 27 voice mails. I get anxious when I think about checking them. My box is full. I would like to keep...
Sounds like you experienced something negative with a fellow introvert doing this? Yeah...I often want to be rude and just yell at people that I am overloaded and they need to go away and leave me...
I appreciate what you said here, about the fact that we aren't obligated to care what others think. I would, and I believe I should, care if people think I am unkind or unfair or dishonest. But...
I guess I thought extroverted types might not have such a hard time with being open and posting publicly. But I that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with introversion v. extroversion...
If it can change, does that mean until adolescence it's fluid and developing and changeable? Or we just can't see what it will eventually become until adolescence, and then it's clear what...
My 5-year old daughter is quite the character, and I am always wondering which type she probably is. Tell me what you think: 1. Extremely verbal. Talks and talks and talks, from dawn to dusk. And...
I don't really. I'm trying to figure it out myself still. Lately I have been really just trying to actually let people know that I am the kind of person who does these things...that way if/when...
Which also brings to my attention another issue I face with my personality: I can and usually do use my insightful abilities to help people, but there have been times (and I am not really proud of...
That Prozac is NOT the right medication for treating my anxiety. Makes me feel absolutely NO anxiety. I need some!!! Otherwise I can't get anything done. Glad to be off of that stuff! My house is...
This is one of my biggest struggles with people in my life. People will meet me. I think they feel validated because I can see them--who they truly are--and they misinterpret that to mean that...
Oh, and I also have wondered how can I tell what is my natural introversion and what is just anxiety?
So...how does that work, with social anxiety, being an extrovert? (And I am not asking this to be snotty...I am seriously interested!)
Funny, I was actually think about this earlier today. I was wondering how much our personality plays into whether we are more susceptible to depression and anxiety, or other mental health issues. I...
Cute thing to add to this: Tonight I went to a movie with my one and only INFJ friend. Before the movie we commented how we drove separately, and showed up to the theater both wearing sweatpants...
Expectation: I want to hear all the details of your every care and concern. Reality: I am really bored after the first 20 minutes, and want you to leave so I can go be by myself.
I have always been a leg shaker. I know it drives people nuts sometimes. But I like doing it. I don't know why I do it, though. I usually don't even notice it until someone brings it to my attention,...
Yes--thanks! They are so sweet to cuddle with. My younger one looks soooo innocent, but she is a real stinker. :wink:
Okay, these are recent pics...from this winter and last fall. The one of me on the couch was my birthday when I had a really bad flu. So I got my gifts lying down on the couch. But still with my...
Well, this is something I really think I should think about in my life. I do think about it, actually, but it would be nice to write it out because for me (and probably most of you) I am able to come...
NO F-ING WAY. Yes, it was right by Coach's!!!! I went in and met some friends in there. He was standing outside near an ally.... Okay. I am not crazy!!!! :laughing:
Once I was in Detroit (in the nice part of the city--and yeah, there is a nice part), and was walking down the street, looked over because I could feel someone looking at me, and this guy was, in...
I actually don't specifically care about either of them. When the Lance Armstrong thing came out, I started looking at his personality and saw other people on the list. She was an interesting example...
Haha, I said that to her about 10 minutes ago. I was like, You know, I get it. I got it the first time you said it... Didn't help. She is still talking. :laughing: Oooo...now she went into...
OOoooooo...it is hard for me to process this, I think because I just really struggle to understand the idea that someone would do something simply for selfish gain, especially if it's unfair or could...
If I can sit back and just listen, I am fine. I can take it all in and maybe 3 hours later I'll bring it back up again with some ideas or thoughts. Maybe I could tell her this. Although I don't think...
Yeah. My first thought that jumped to the surface was about the sleeping. So, he is bothering to get tired by being around. So he probably likes being around you. But I would guess you are...
I have this problem: If someone is lecturing me about something (i.e., my wife is trying to talk to me about how our daughter already ruined her winter boots that she got for Christmas, like it's my...
At the moment I am listening to my INTP wife driving me crazy with her overly-analytical rant. I could make a video of it, but I don't think any of you would enjoy it. ARG. :wink:'
