Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

'Overwear or underwear? Underwear. It's hidden but more personal and occassionally sexy. Overdone or underdone? Overdone. Anything worth doing is worth doing 100%. Balls to the wall man. Overdue or...

Money can't buy you happiness, but I definitely prefer the security having wealth brings. Money means freedom; if you have enough you can do just about anything (including help those in need!)....

Absolutely. I've never been able to understand people who don't seem to give anything much thought. My thoughts just flood over my mind, filling every gap, crevice, and hole; inside and out. People,...

Well you just seem delightful. I'm kind of in and out but I always learn something new. It's nice. My name means 'Gift of God', I love music (how original right?), I like red, green, and purple, I...

'Hurt people hurt people' but I won't deny that an INFJ is particularly well-equipped for hitting hard; whether it's to mend a deep wound or lash out with surgical precision. I'm sorry to hear about...

I have gotten myself into a few interesting situations. I'm a very warm, caring, charming person. I enjoy making those around me feel valued and appreciated. That being said, I also prefer to keep...

Thank you everyone for your wonderful responses! I guess I'll answer my questions too... -What's your relationship with music? (how often do you listen? where? how do you feel about it in...

Yes, but only in small doses for me. I like feeling nesty in places where I spend most of my time.

I think INFJ's are good pet people in general. At the moment I have a cat who we found in a friend's backyard only a couple of days old, never nursed, covered with fleas, eyes barely open, and...

I thought it'd be interesting to learn more about other INFJ's and their music, so here's a short questionnaire... -What's your relationship with music? (how often do you listen? where? how do you...

I can listen to top 40 in casual settings no problem, but my favorite songs, the songs I listen to while alone in my room with headphones contemplating life? No lol. Listening to them out loud for...

I'm sure there's lots of repeats, but I tried! Nevermind. You aren't listening are you? I think so... I'm not sure.

I hate how I feel like I have to sacrifice some part of my beliefs or values to succeed in today's society. I'm constantly told the importance of networking. I have to prove why I'm better than...

I do wonder if she is truly an ENFP. She's only taken a few tests and none of them very recently. She's not as interested in them as I am :P

Haha love you too! *hugs* That's what happened. We are very close so our fights are far and few between (3 in almost 8 years) but when they do occur they're incredibly painful because we know so...

I can't think of anything that hasn't already been said, probably better than I would have been able to :laughing: You sound like a wonderful girlfriend. He's really lucky to have someone with a...

Cruelty, insensitivity, unwarranted rudeness, disrespect, arrogance, when someone says something just to be hurtful, belittling, a lack of compassion & empathy, and being intrusive in my life with...

Everyone who knows me knows that I have the most bizarre dreams. I can't recall any at the moment (if I do I'll edit it in) unfortunately but they're usually just downright strange, often with a...

I have actually pissed off an ENFP! It was an unfortunate combination of circumstances. Quite an experience, definitely not one I'd like to partake in again. It felt a bit like being on the...

I've always been the quiet one in my family, the middle child (and only boy) with two very extroverted sisters. My sisters always tried to get me to come out of my shell like I needed their help or...

I could easily picture myself being passive-aggressive had I not grown up with a very passive-aggressive mother and seen the horrors it can wreak on relationships. Instead, if I don't have the...

I'm 18 so 10 years younger? No lol Oldest I'd date would probably be early 40's. Chronological age (past basic development) doesn't really mean much to me. If you're mature then you're mature. If...

I'd have to disagree with you, I take criticism pretty poorly xD Perhaps I'm less mature in this area than other INFJ's, I know a few who agree with you. Very no-nonsense/no bush beating kind of...

My mother is an INFJ like myself. We get along really well most of the time. We talk a lot about life and share many of the same opinions. The biggest wedge in our relationship is that unfortunately...

In response to Essay and energeticelephant As an INFJ; Love isn't about finding the perfect person, it's about seeing perfection in an imperfect person :)

No, this is exactly what I was looking for. I particularly love the empty room rant. I'll definitely be using that one in the future. Brilliant. I never thought about how I could take an active...

Oh boy...where shall I start? I can be fearful- I've said it elsewhere in the forums but fear is a biggie for me. I really struggle letting it control me. It's mostly social. I freak out of I...

I'd say for me it's a combination of what I was raised with- what's been ingrained into my psyche, my spiritual beliefs- shaped by my ideals and philosophy, and my experiences- what I've observed and...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FH-q0I1fJY -this song makes me want to skip around my house...and I have...it's quite fun :laughing:

I do like language. Mainly because it bothers me to think there's an entirely different cultural group I'd be unable to communicate with. I love culture & I love to study people different from me....

My personal theory is that certain types are more likely to end up on a website for personalities than others, hence us having higher representation on here.

I respond best to people who are friendly and warm without being over-bearing. Too much friendliness is like an assault on my bubble. Smile and try to start a conversation, don't jump in my lap lol ...

I'd agree. I was raised Christian, and I do believe in God...but that's pretty much all I share with most Christians. For me, what I take from the bible, is just to live as loving, accepting,...

Internet dating makes me nervous, people just tend to lie a lot :/ That being said, it does sound like he likes you. Just be cautious and realistic. The fact that he's also making commitments to...

Wonderful answer. Hmm...well if it counts, a tree. I'd love to be a tree. Sometimes I look at old trees and wonder who else has passed by it, or sat under it. They live a long time too. I could be...

How do you guys manage to stay so damn lighthearted? I've been on the intensity train and the seriousness is...*sigh*...draining. So I figured when in need of being handed the metaphysical equivalent...

Welcome! Yeah this place is pretty cool. I can honestly say I've never encountered anyone unpleasant, how rare on the internet right? Anyways hope you enjoy your time here :)

Ahhh the elusive INFJ male! I joined in much the same way you did. I observed for a while before making the leap to join. Since joining I've found lifetime's worth of advice & insight. Lot's of...

Welcome! There's lots of wonderful people on here and so much insight and excellent advice! Look forward to seeing you around :)

*waves to fellow INFJ's* I really liked your post, and let me tell you, your INFJ's need the company of someone genuine and lighthearted! Too much intensity can be poison, for me at least. I've...

I'm not entirely sure how relevant I am to this thread...but I concur. It takes a lot to make me bitter. I'm usually very forgiving and will never turn a blind eye to a truly repentant heart; but...

Fear is a very close and personal feeling for me. I'd say it influences me than any other negative emotion. What scares me? -finding out everyone talks about their mutual disliking of me and I've...

>heartwarming things are relevant to my interests also: OMG IT'S TAMSIN!

I stick to this forum because every time I hop on I'm surprised at how much insight and incredible advice I can get from other INFJ's and it's fun to respond to threads knowing I'm dealing with...

In short, omg yes. I have very contradictory feelings towards humanity. On one end it's amazes me. People can be so...good! Warm, friendly, genuine, fun, compassionate, caring, giving, brave etc....

I'm not really sure how to approach this response... I'm in one of those moods where I can't seem to make sensible writing of my thoughts lol On maturity, I've been told since I was a child...

That's priceless! :laughing: I'm prone to outbursts of strange faces, noises, and accents in conversation. Only with people I feel comfortable with who I know won't judge me or try to have me...

I'm not sure if this counts, but every time I shut my bedroom door and I have to check my closet. When I close my door it feels like I'm creating a barrier. And barriers don't help if...

I second fairies- there's just something too magical about old-world forests for there NOT to be tiny magical winged creatures living in them! Mermaids- the sea is a mysterious place Mothman-...'
