'Most people who become Christians seem to be good people with low self-esteem, low enough to think that you're the servant of a greater entity. Religion exists because life is chaos and that doesn't...
being adored by many is more accurate for me but not really the leadership bit
I've had a handful, I am in to a lot of the theories, I read LaBerge's book. I go in and out of phases, I usually have better dreams when I do very little in the day.
Do any of you ever feel like you are constantly chasing things; relationships, success, perfection, happiness; in vain (when you think about it)? I just thought about this, I get so desperate for...
I stopped looking for you I stopped waiting for you I stopped dying for you and I started dying for myself I aged rapidly I became fat in the face and soft in the gut and I forgot that I’d...
Finally watched the film, Gandhi last night after meaning to for a long time. First of all, it's a really good film and a good history lesson for anyone (like me) who doesn't know the full story....
Well, Hitler and Ghandi; both said to be INFJs, clearly if that were the case they must have both felt compassion but I imagine Hitler felt most of it for the indigenous German people whereas Gandhi...
If the whole world was INFJ then many important things would be left undone, we'd spent a lot of time contemplating and discussing but no action.
Seeing another thread about parent-types, I thought I'd mention my parental difficulties. My dad is an ESFP and we have never been emotionally close because of it. My dad tries to substitute...
Bigotry - usually based on lack of compassion/empathy. Selfishness Realism - in general, I hate having to think about my mundane job, having to do mundane chores, it's usually all the sensors...
They sure do, even when I don't contribute much, they just seem to gravitate. I will have to start using my INFJ/counselling nature to consciously make friends and influence people a bit more.
For one, I think threads like this are interesting even if they have no straight answer. ESFJs, they deserve a mention, I can see how a relationship would be practical but that idea would seem to...
I wouldn't call it a rigid decision making process, or at least it isn't under the surface. I'd say what triggers me to act impulsively is something which triggers strong emotion. So if I met someone...
What they should remember is that we also give others a little lift and keep the peace; we let others get the good stuff and we save most of the bad stuff for ourselves.
I definitely know what you mean, we don't like to say sensitive things willy nilly. I am a bit of a songwriter and my ENFP friend always asks me what my songs are about, I won't say exactly, I'll...
My friend who is ENFP is great fun and good company but I think between partners a bit of J/P conflict may occur if you are two extremes. Probably my favourite of the perceivers though (pound for...
Sounds like my ENFP friend (possibly the only ENFP I know), head even further in the clouds than me, makes daft jokes a lot, pretty awful at meeting deadlines, quick to declare boredom. A good friend...
I have a question, are all ENTPs this pragmatic? I think if the INFJ in question knew you were mapping it out, she would be underwhelmed but that's not to say what you're doing is wrong.
Looking some of these up; another site has Joel Barish as an ISFP but I don't think so, I can see why they might think it but they weren't looking deep enough imo. Neil Young is definitely an...
Same here. That's why I'm here.
I'd say pound for pound and with a little experience, ISTP and INFJ clash a bit, we annoy the hell out of you and you frustrate the hell out of us. Funny how you guys are called mechanics, the two...
I clash a bit with an ISTP in truth; ESTPs are okay with me because they get things of their chest, when/if we clash I can get the closure I want then. This ISTP gets wound up by my lack of...
Shadow of a Doubt (A Complex Kid) on Damn the Torpedoes
21243 Here's some random drunk beardy guy. :P
I usually ask them whether they'd like to stroke my beard and/or cat.
I'm quite defensive, sometimes I speed up if I am wound up, this worries me but I am generally safer than many I know. Technically I am pretty lacklustre, parallel parking is still a small gamble...
I gotta get me one of those ENFJs it would seem. ;) Wouldn't it be nice if dating was like ordering off Amazon? (I'm not talking about trafficking btw >:o)
I take exception to the vain idea that something like man created all this. I see just as much chance that I created all this and it's my dream but I won't go to town with that theory until there's...

I can talk, I am very bored atm.
That's fine as long as you do it behind closed doors. ;)
Good question, I'd like to know too, I'm at a bit of a loss as to how can get on the dating ladder any time soon.
You want my address? ;) I know what you mean, I would gravitate towards extroverts because I want someone draw me from my shell, I have too many awkward silences with other introverts which is...
- What were you like as a child, were you inherently charming? Did you immediately take a liking to strangers? No I didn't like going out of my comfort zone, I hated having to meet new people and was...
Why's that?
I would have thought an ESTJ or an ENTJ. I have a family full of Fs (me INFJ, mum ISFJ, brother and dad both ESFP) and it is F-f-f-f-frustrating:wink: we argue a lot and we lose sight of things,...
Think by Simon Blackburn; a kind of overview of philosophy.
Okay, I'm a guy but I'm open minded ;) and I'm sure I can contribute something here. Personally I like someone else to do all the pushing as long as it isn't against my will, if someone says I'll...
That reminds me of the Tom Petty lyric; and when she's dreamin' sometimes she sings in French. I'm a bit of a hoarder, I can't get rid of things like bits of paper plastic bags because I always...
I am a lot like this I used to cry a fair bit as a kid but it was socialised out of me.
No idea, over-thinking things as usual, just wanted to know if this is common, it probably is actually and thinking of it and my closest friend in my college life is what I suspect to to be an ESTJ,...
I just wonder whether this is a common thing. What do you think he sounds like?
The character of Joel Barish in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind; seems to hit all the major points, I always vainly thought that character resembled myself but maybe you don't see so many INFJs...
I haven't been in a proper relationship but I imagine I would. I get worked up about potential relationships and can never be totally sure about the person, I would be heavily influenced by what...
Just been on a long weekend on holiday with my best mate. I do wonder how we are such good friends despite being very different, personalities, yes but we also have many different interests, I'm a...
I'm posting this partially to query whether this is me using my new found INFJ status as a crutch or others may share experiences. I just find social situations challenging and dread them more...
Greetings all, recently found out I'm one of the rarest group, wanted to find how others cope with certain things. I'm an eejit, I meant to type INFJ :P'
