'(Wow sorry this is so long...) I had a similar friend. Sorry to hear you're in this situation :( My friend had many difficult things going on in her life for years and ultimately it just made her...
Agree with Windblownhair I enjoy travel. I love seeing a new culture, how different people live, different landscapes, architecture and vegetation. I'm not really into sightseeing. My ideal...
I was reading some old threads on infjs and alcohol, and it seems that most infjs either: - Don't like mind-altering substances because they make them feel out of control, or make them feel like...
Ksara wow this post was just what I needed! Thank you for the great insight and helping me understand that I don't need to feel guilty/upset. Particularly this: And for the insight into a fear...
Alaya wow me too. I love looking at the sky
1. human biology (specialising in biological anthropology) and psychology 2. I love dealing with concepts, evolutionary theories, thinking about how we evolved to think and behave the way we do 3....
I know it is somewhat of a human trait to want to believe in the supernatural, but is anyone else really in love with anything mystical? Anything. It kind of affects everything I do. Some examples...
I don't even love the taste of them that much, but I love the 'experience' of them. The process of making them, the different shapes you can make them, the flavour/type and what that reflects about...
Scarlet.Black thankyou, I'm glad you feel this way sometimes too! However I think our reasons for feeling this way are different - which is interesting. I don't really feel bad that my friends 'need...
HeyThereRock Thankyou. Those reasons you listed are why I don't like socialising with large groups/people I'm not close to very often. However none of those reasons apply to my best friends. I don't...
I know I sound like a whiner but I think this is the key issue here!
I guess I was just wondering if there was anyone who was the same as me so I could have someone to relate to - it would be nice to know I'm not alone, since 'society' makes me feel so abnormal. ...
are you serious?
Short version: I need nearly all of my free time alone (or with people I live with/am very close to), and no one understands me. People never believe me when I say I can only handle one social...
:( hope you're okay! Out of interest could I please ask why?
Also I am thinking that on typical tumblr blogs, there are a lot of skinny girls and not so many curvy girls. Tumblr really glorifies extremely skinny hipster girls. I think it's just a tumblr...
I'm in a 3 year relationship with an ISFP man and I have a lot to say on this! It took me years to even be able to communicate with him where we could understand each other. I'm not completely...
I'm not sure what you totally mean, but yes I am very hard to satisfy (from other people, I easily satisfy myself). I am constantly disappointed by others in my life and it has been one of the major...
My whole life I've had this dream where I move to a log cabin in the forest somewhere in north america/canada, on a lake, 20-30 mins from a big city, but still so isolated on a big property. I have...
I'm also from WA! What's it like to be surrounded by all these analytical types? My boyfriend is an ISFP and I think I am not supporting him enough in this regard. I always want to talk about...
Wow she seems so hard to type to me. Quite an entrancing character, I can't help but be fascinated with her. I think perhaps her calm/almost depressed yet content demeanour could be misleading to her...
I feel like no matter what they do, they have permanently tainted our relationship and we will never be the same. Same. I think a lot of people think that if you don't forgive it is unhealthy....
Yeah, I guess with family they get more chances than other people but just because they're family doesn't mean I'll continue to put up with it. It does make it difficult though when you have to keep...
Well explained! I do agree with the 'why' of behaviour. Your intentions are more important than the result of an action. But I still think I got that a lot from my parents. Not every thing they...
Me too, when someone crosses one of my loved ones I give them absolutely zero mercy.
When someone who crossed me experiences negative fate of their own, I find it hard to feel very negatively towards them, because I guess they got what they deserved (although this may sound a little...
Why? Please explain. Are you suggesting personality is purely inborn? I think behaviour is part of personality. If your parents always made you clean up after yourself and you grow up to be a...
Exactly. It's not like I will NEVER forgive, but you will need to prove to me you're sorry and you won't do things of that sort again. This basically never happens so I guess that's why I say I don't...
This is very interesting. By this definition I guess I don't forgive. I let it go in my mind and it doesn't cause me anguish or pain in years to come. But I do hold on to emotional hostility towards...
All the responses so far have said they would be happy with their child no matter what. What if you were forced to choose? I feel like life might be easier for ES types or maybe Ts in a lot of...
I disagree. I asked this question hypothetically - of course I would completely accept any child for whoever they were, no matter how difficult that may be. However, one of my primary roles as a...
That's so true thank you for this insight
This is kind of getting off-topic as my purpose was to see if I'm alone in this among infjs, but I'd like to talk about what you said nonetheless! Yes, many times with several people. People...
I thought about this question for years and then realised that I would never be happy being anything but a mother. Dedicating my life to positively shaping others, helping them become strong,...
I get so fiery and passionate!! Not usually to their face unless it's a 'repeat offence' though haha
Oh no, definitely if it was something trivial then I wouldn't care. If someone intentionally hurts me obviously I won't forgive them. But if someone even did something semi-trivial like made some...
I love being an infj and I think I would want any child of mine to be infj or intj because I think that's how I would get along with them/understand them/be able to support them the most (and think...
I know there are old threads on INFJs and forgiveness, but reading through them, nearly all infjs said that they can't help but forgive? I feel completely differently, does anyone else feel the same...
Definitely. My boyfriend is the first sensor I've ever had a close relationship with and it baffles me how his mind works. The only sensors in my entire extended family are in-laws or their children....
We spend a lot of time together and I spent several months really thinking about typing them all and they just can't be anything else. Definitely introverts, irrational thinking (let feelings...
marbleous thankyou so much! good to see some shared experiences :)
I know we're the 'rarest type' but I am absolutely surrounded in INFJs. Why is this? Is it the demographic or do we attract each other or just coincidence or family genes or what!? I have no...
I'm so sorry this post is so long! I completely agree, I would never dislike someone immediately because of their type, rather, I am noticing that I find it very challenging to get along...
I'm sure there's another thread like this somewhere but I can't find it. What's your most preferred type and most disliked types? I have not met a single ISTJ I genuinely like at all. They have...
I can't watch them. They affect me for weeks afterwards and I still even get sad years later. I can't even watch Shrek because of when princess fiona sings to the bird and it explodes and dies from...
Also, does anyone have the following problem?: I feel like I have to define my clothing style. It sort of has to be categorised. I'm not one of those people who sees something they like and can just...
From my experience infjs have incredibly varied music and clothing styles, which kind of upset me when I first discovered that because I had sort of hoped we would all be artsy/hippies but still...
Korvyna Thankyou! :) Yes I can imagine him doing that. He is very private, even with me sometimes
Sorry this response is so long! It IS a hefty schedule! He handles it really well. He loves his job/internship. Absolutely loves putting on a suit, getting his briefcase and going into work....
I don't think he actually understands how creative he is. When I first found mbti and told him I thought he was an ISFP, the Artist, he was so surprised and said something like but I'm not good at...'
