'Nice idea. I'll start with three that are old favorites of mine from high school. They have always resonated strongly with me, and I think that (depending on taste in music, of course) they could do...
1. What are your feelings on regret? I do have a few regrets, although they aren't something that I think about on a daily basis. I've learned from them (hopefully) and have moved on. But when I am...
Intuition is not infallible. Although you may have a strong hunch about something, it could still prove to be wrong. I have a fairly strong intuition and it is usually accurate. This has sometimes...
How easily do you trust people? Was there any event (assuming you are weary of people) that made you cautious? I try to give people the benefit of the doubt unless given a reason not to, but I...
I am particularly bad at this. In fact, I pretty much don't open myself up to rejection? I don't ask people out, I wait for them to ask me. (I know, that's not really fair.) The last time I was...
lol, this sounds like me. I find my own perspective so terribly limiting. I want to know what it is like to be everyone else, too! I don't hate my type, necessarily... there are certainly things...
I'm not a lesbian, but I am pansexual. I know what you mean about how difficult it is to connect with people when you feel so different from them. In my entire life, I've only felt a real connection...
Yes. This has happened to me many times. Many times. lol. Although, once I find out that someone I am attracted to is currently in a relationship, I let it go. I may still be attracted to them, but I...
My vote went to knowledge.
I agree with you only to an extent, walker5881. You are absolutely right that therapists are not perfect, and in fact often have it no more together than their patients. I also agree that there are...
When someone asks me how I am, my automatic response is something like, I'm fine, thanks, and you? When I was much younger, I would always answer that question truthfully and be puzzled when the...
I usually remember my dreams when I wake up, but I will only typically remember them long-term if I write them down. (Which I only do if I find them interesting enough to remember... I think I have...
It does bother me when people are intentionally rude, inconsiderate, or disrespectful. I suspect that most INFJs would probably feel the same way, but perhaps not all. I try to not to let the trivial...
Current favorites... Community Dexter Doctor Who Fringe Grimm Once Upon a Time Person of Interest Psych
That's true, SoulShield. Perhaps this is not the case with more outgoing INFJs, but it is definitely a problem that the more reserved INFJs encounter.
I'm not sure I entirely understand what you mean with the emotion in their voice - how is that aggravating? I don't notice that they speak in an overly emotional way, but that could be because I am...
That's kind of you to say, Revan. INTPs are pretty amazing, as well. ;)
I don't believe in numerology, but I still think it's fun, so... :) Birth Force Number: 7 philosophical, quiet, analytical, introspective, understanding, intuitive, inspirational, reclusive,...
All in Twilight: It likely depends on the person we are conversing with whether you will hear us ask a lot of questions. If you tend to talk quite a bit to begin with, there isn't as much need for us...
Like several others who have posted, I have some difficulties in interacting with other people, so this is one of my ways of getting around that. Most people enjoy talking about themselves, and I...
No worries. ;)
lol. Linadami, I can't tell whether you are being facetious or not. :) In any case, I was referring to mind games and emotional manipulation rather than video games (or any other sort of game). I...
No, this is not necessarily typical of female relationships. If this friendship is important to you, then I think you need to be upfront with her and ask her what is going on. You need to let her...
- Always be honest and direct when there is a problem. - Don't play games. I can't imagine that most INFJs would appreciate that. - Allow your INFJ space when needed. We need time to ourselves to...
In terms of how the types are described on personality pages and such, I view myself as somewhat a mix of INFJ and INTJ. I relate quite a bit to INTJs, and in fact I was quite confused for a while as...
I was raised in a very active Southern Baptist household. We attended church every Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday. I was also very involved in church related activities for children...
I have also been in group therapy, and while I can't say I enjoyed it - I would agree that it was more helpful to talk to others who were experiencing similar problems (if not, of course, for the...
I owe myself complete honesty, even when it is painful. I am not so deluded that I believe I never contradict myself or that I am never a hypocrite. But I am always in pursuit of the truth, both in a...

It may just depend on the individual INFJ and INTJ. I have personally had very good experiences with INTJ friends, and in some ways have found them easier to relate to and get along with than my...
Yes. I've sort of given up on trying to make friends, because it usually doesn't work that way for me. Anytime that I've really connected with someone, it has happened in the way that you...
Usually, when I'm being irrational, I need someone to make me recognize that I am being irrational. Unfortunately, that is not always immediately apparent to me. After that, the best thing for me to...
I agree with this, as well. Self-improvement is very important to the INFJ, and I think we generally have a great appreciation of the beauty that is found in nature.
I don't feel like one of the guys, necessarily... but I've never related much to other girls, either. When I was in high school, I was usually puzzled by their drama. For some reason, I was...
I agree with EnigmaDan... we're often very quiet and reserved, so I think it's easier to find us online. Offline, your best bet is probably some of the places he mentioned. Bookstores, libraries,...
1. Pre-teens: Pop, mostly to fit in. Also dream pop and celtic/new age music. (Obviously not to fit in.) 2. Teens: Classical, classical-crossover, soundtrack/instrumental, electronica, new age,...
My eyes do tend to look a different color depending on the light, color of clothing that I'm wearing, etc. My eyes are bluish-green - steel blue on the outside with yellow-green flecks around the...
I have seen a number of psychologists/psychiatrists. I saw two when I was eleven for pain management related to chronic illness; I saw a few more in my teens for major depression; and then three in...
Alan, I am careful to say it seems to me because I want to be clear that this is how I am interpreting what you are writing. I am acknowledging that I could very well be reading it incorrectly, and...
Most of that is true for me. I tend to be a bit less emotional/moody than described (though I was quite depressed throughout my teenage years); I'm pretty calm/stoic, generally. The lower energy part...
I don't think I've actually been told this, but I'm not terribly photogenic either. Probably because I'm not overly fond of having my picture taken and I'm not especially great at posing. (Probably...
Though everyday a struggle, beauty prevails.
To clarify: I actually, honestly do not care if you are a feminist, Alan. I have nothing emotionally invested in that. ;) I do think it is confusing when someone seems to be saying one thing in one...
SoulShield, I assume that she means over the counter. I have used many prescription medications for insomnia in the past; I am not on anything currently. I do sometimes take Benadryl if I haven't...
Ah, okay. Thanks for explaining. I guess I just lucked out that the INFJ I happened to meet in person was very much like me. I'm also fond of INTJs (and INTPs). Sometimes, I find them a bit easier...
Alan, I am getting conflicting messages from you. In one post, you seem to have a positive attitude towards feminism. In other posts, it seems to be something that you look down upon. (Not that I...
Alan, to me, feminism is about equality for both women and men because inequality actually has an impact on both sexes. So, perhaps you might consider seeing it as something that is valuable for...
That's interesting, Faux, particularly since most of us seem to have such an intense connection with other INFJs. What do you think prevents you from feeling a connection with the ones that you have...
Veggie, I don't disagree that there are indeed women who fit that pattern of thinking. What rubbed me wrong about Alan's post is that there seemed to be a strong implication that all women are a...
Wow. Think what you like, Alan, but plenty of women know exactly what they want. It's pretty presumptuous of you to assume otherwise. For example, I have no interest in assholes and keep my...'
