'If I met myself my immediate reaction would be I can't really figure him out... I probably would get the feeling that there is some intense mental activity going on in that other me, but I would...
Raj, you really have animal magnetism... Those little cuties just stick to you :laughing:
A relationship with an INFJ woman?!? Seriously, I have enough difficulties struggling with my own inner demons - I don't need to drag a she-devil into the house as well... :crazy: Honestly, I find...
Well, a girl once actually told me; You would be a very handsome monk... I guess it was a compliment, albeit the strangest one I've ever heard.
I haven't been posting on the forum for a long time, simply because I've been super busy... You see, I've went back to teaching :happy: I worked as a teacher more than 15 years ago, but entered...
I seem to resonate more with the intuitive variant, it just sounds more like - well, uh, me... But when I really want to convince someone, I put on my INFJ ethical superhero suit and become...
I think I might have missed something here... American politics? You mean, like they are independent, as if America was a state in its own right? Is America not longer a colony in the British...
Don't really know what to say, Gracie dear - words seem so hard to find when something like that happens. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers, if that is of any consolation.
I'm not too eager to post my face on the net, but here it goes: http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz136/fuzz-mullah/Eyes/Devolo.jpg If you want the multimedia version, just try humming the old...
I think that really nails it. I enjoy being with people more extroverted than me, because together we can play with both sides of the coin, so to speak.
I worked as department manager for quite a few years, managing a group of programmers, visual artists and scriptwriters (high-end multimedia production). My impression is that people liked working...
If someone gave me a special experience as a gift, like a day at the zoo or a musical concert, I would be very happy. Material things are nice (especially those that can be eaten), but experiences...
So, my fellow INFJs... you are such a bunch of weirdos! :laughing: Where can I get my ESTP membership card, platinum version? :crazy: Me, I'm not weird. Not weird in any way. The world around me...
Funny? Indeed so - I just give off a few glimpses of what goes on inside my head, and people find it hilarious... I have a rather surrealistic perception of the world, so when I tell someone what is...
Well, to continue the idea of using physics to explain human behaviour: The laws of motion might be of great help to explain what is happening when humans interact. For instance, if two physical...
If the relationship has not evolved into something really serious, it might just be a couple of months before I can go on with my life. But if it was someone really special, it may take years. I...
Oh, I forgot: The Mettel company sometimes puts out new Barbie doll prototypes in the form of life-size robots. They look very much like humans, but on closer inspection you may reveal that they are...
You may encounter what is scientifically known to be a very rare phenomenon; white noise trapped inside a human body. For those of you without a background in physics and communication theory;...
I'm in! This sounds like the perfect country for me! Just give me the directions, and I'll saddle up my trustworthy donkey and begin the journey. If you haven't yet acquired any specific spot on...
What another person might think of as melancholy, to me is peace of mind. Perhaps it is one of the blessings of getting older; you realize that it is really ok to tune into the world just using...
I'd like to say that I'm private, but truth to be told; I'm paranoid... The good thing about not telling too much about myself (or any other person for that matter), is that people tend to...
In my point of view, there are two major problems with hallucinogens: 1. Going up is fantastic, but when you're getting down you may feel pretty depressed (and quite a few of us are inclined to...
To me, torture would be to be put in a crowd for prolonged time. Isolation I can cope with, but lack of solitude - nope, that would make me break down. I've gone for weeks speaking to someone just...
X generation, Y generation, Z generation... Mentally, I'm still with the R generation (I prefer Dostojevskij to many later writers, and I still think Shostakovich is the definition of...
I really need to enter survival mode from time to time. It is not so much about escaping the world, more like entering thought/feeling processing and recharge mode. I think Gracie put it in...
Pet of choice... or snack of choice..? http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz136/fuzz-mullah/Dogs/157040_10150093407575701_716510700_7946981_1326994_n.jpg This little puppy belongs to a friend...
What I would do is to give them a flower... Or more specifically, stuff the flower up into their nostrils, given they were strongly allergic to said flower :blushed: I've been a few rough places...
I do believe I have a soul, and I also believe in an afterlife. But a problem is that at least in the Western part of the world, we are way to influenced by old Greek thinking (short version: the...
That is looking at it in a positive, almost idealistic, way. I'm not so sure every INFJ deep down really wants to help others - sometimes we help others because it fuels our self esteem or because...
For me, I have come to peace with the idea that I can loose everything I own, and still have the most important: My inner self and my faith. Every time I lock myself out of my appartment, I think it...
Female INFJ, I think you have some really valuable information in your post! I am an enneagram 5 as well (5w4 to be specific), and I recognize that intuitive feeling of being on the brink of...
I was raised in a home without servants, so I'm not looking for neither a matron nor a maid... Women that just want to build a nest and forcefully cuddle is just not my thing. I much prefer someone...
You're hereby invited to join as a member of The Solipsist Society... Wait, we solipsists don't congregate - ah, well, just trash that invitation in the bin then. Joke aside, I tend to get a bit...
I think you may get a few good tricks and tips from this website: Self Employment for the Myers Briggs Types: The Idealists – The Great Office Escape For myself, I think I'd do best if I...
I regularly babysit the pets of my friends, in fact so much that I have a sheep skin (not from my baby brother...) constantly laying in a corner of my flat. So... I've had three mixed breed dogs, a...
If you need change you're always welcome to visit us Scandinavians! Sparsely populated with people, but I do recommend conversations with the local reindeers :crazy:
Could it be that there is something with this girl that resonates with your inner self? Maybe you're obsessed because you see a kind of mirrored image of a part of yourself - a part that you tend to...
If we feel we don't get understood, we might just give in and retreat to our inner selves, thus coming across as even more aloof... Would've been better sometimes to try even harder to explain our...
Vey well put, and good advice. Especially the question why she is asking you You haven't told us much about the girl, which makes it even more difficult to give clear instructions for your...
If hurt by a friend, but not with devilish intentions (more like the accidental remark or something like that), I will soon forget it. If hurt by someone that is not a friend, I'll be very...
I enjoy explaining complex issues, as long as the issue is not myself... The worst question in job interviews is So... tell me about yourself... I'll rather explain quantum physics to a five...
It is difficult to find, but the movie Suture from 1993 could be added to the list as well, mainly because of how it portrays otherness. Probably not to everyones taste, but that movie resonated...
Since nobody else has asked... did you meet any pretty nurses..? :blushed: It would be the most hilarious INFJ stunt to get involved in a car crash just to possibly meet a sweet nurse... Well, we...
If someone is complaining about really small and stupid things, I don't want to be empathetic; it can actually be counterproductive for that person's growth and ability to handle the bigger issues. ...
Glad that you're alive and OK, Dave! When such things happen we realize how fragile life can be... If you were a cat, I'd say you've still got 8 lives :happy: P.S. It may take some time before you...
PaulH: What you say in your two posts is really useful advice, and I share your point of view as well as some of these experiences. If we met, we would probably talk like two old veterans from a...
Once a girl at the office said I can never see what is going on inside your head... The one person I would never play poker with, would be you! I gave her my most enigmatic hint of a smile, as I...
I have worked with geoscience for the government, been a teacher, worked as a project manager and script writer in the multimedia industry, worked in a psychiatric hospital, I've even worked a couple...
If I was elected monarch of the Us, the first thing I would do would be to question the sanity of the people... I mean, don't you have any better candidates? Really, not anyone? And just for the...
I think they are waaay better than us when the action gets going. They are quite good at dealing with the real world, so I guess they would be pretty effective :laughing: The INFJ hitsquad on the...'
