'When you're in public and overhear two people arguing and get way too stressed about something that isn't even your problem; this problem then continues to bother you until some guy walks in with a...
In addition to needing someone who gets me, I also need to get them. The combination is a challenge I try to primarily look for someone I get and then test if they get me.
..uhm... I think this belongs under a different kind of personality page..?
Yes, I test. What I generally look for is how much space I will be given to be the real me. I have a lot of humour and sarcasm in me, and have always been self concious. Because of this I constantly...
Are INFJs often clumsy? I can be, especially when being observed!
Ashamed yes. Me too. Childhood stuff. Someone in close family with manipulating and bad temper. That person destroyed my healthy ways of responding, and I struggle with it to this day. So sometimes I...
...left the quote out by mistake..
....aaaand when the anxiety of speaking up against something that goes agains your values is equally painful as quietly accepting as a result of being afraid of the attention.... But in the...
When you pretend to be an extrovert because that is supposed to be the ideal. But when I fail to put on that extrovert me, I can’t build real friendships as they get confused about who I really am -...
I want to develop my intuition because I already have the amount it takes to be able to know there is a lot more to people than what they openly tell us. I can read quite a lot, I have been told by...
That is not an answer to my question.
I keep reading about INFJ's ability to read emotions and temperaments - and I can partly relate. I notice subtle things that others I know often don't, like body language, but I don't pick up on...
Me too. I can never watch crime shows because I have a big problem with murders and violence being entertainment when so many people in this world have to endure living in it every day of their life.
Not shy, pretty social and outgoing, but generally people drain me. So I don't need them much... So I don't make new friends and I don't want to. I have my family and nice colleagues at work, plus...
I have the habit of wanting to ease a potentially embarrassing situation. F.i if someone at lunch at work says something that makes people's faces go blank, like omg what did he/she just say.. and...
Oh my. Every time an all the time. And I always support the underdog.
When you are so dedicated to do the best for everyone at work that you get totally exhausted... :-( When I try to say no that stresses me way more than to say yes. So then I say yes to almost...
You are very much right. As I am eager to do the right thing, I don't always have the perpective to say what's best for me. I have strong work etichs, and had to because I had my own business, but...
Right? That's what it's about for me anyway, what gives me energy and what sucks the life out of me. As an INFJ I need alonetime. A LOT OF IT. And I am a grown woman, mother and wife, which means...
I actually love PC games.. but as a mother and wife I know I'm not supposed to, and it's embarrassing, so I don't anymore. My favourite game of all is Sims2. Not 3 or 4 :-) Then there is...
When you socialice all evening with work colleagues and have such a great time - - -- and suddenliy feel the need to leave... but feel so guilty, thinking they would feel they did something to...
Exactly what I do... :-)
I had several, but kept it very private. It is a phenomenon, not easily explained, but extremely common ☺️
Will try to answer wthout giving it too much thought :-) 1 - Depends on the way they say it, who they are and in what context, but I would be stunned for a second I think, and then laugh it off -...
So true, and #8 relates exactly to this thread. I am going to read it carefully over and over again: 9 Humbling Life Lessons I've Learnt As An INFJ ⋆ LonerWolf
You are spot on with me :-) I mimic people and alter myself after who I am with. Irritating. Though I do try to direct conversations towards a little deeper stuff, like the structure behind something...
I guess it is common for me as an INFJ to be searching for soul mates. I am so lucky to have a wonderful husband, but I long for a friend I can truly relate to on a deeper level. I don't have many...
Exactly, that may seem so funny to extroverts, but we get that :-) My husband is an extrovert, but still enjoys alonetime. He hasn't done the test, but I would bet good money he is ENTJ.
That is interessting - I thought about that, I am a walking contradiction in so many ways.. even made a thread about that some weeks ago. :-) I just long for peace of mind. To much stress. Thank...
Thank you so much, tiredsighs....!! So glad to get an affirmation like that, you got it. I've been squeezed up in a corner, and so my aggressiveness is a form of protection. I crave a lot of...
Part 1, does life change us (type wise) I keep getting infj as my result, since I first did the test several years ago. However, when I read examples of infjs and how they act aloof and...
You really sound like a lovely person :-)
-- For pointing out the horrible behaviour of a close adult family member. Still to this day this person is a problem maker and says horrendous things. My mother and her sister were so shy of...
Interresting :-) I have always been such a believer of justice that I would NeVeR take the blame for something I didn't do. I would fight hard to prove my innocence, and those who would blame me...
..or to not be negatively affected by the lack of meaning? Guess not. :-P
Serenity Edit: I must admit I was so ready with my word that I didn't read your post first. Only to realize you said the same one. How nice :-)
I got confused now, as INFJs we crave authentisity, and fake is the opposite. I really relate to the quote about not managing to fake a hello. Wish I could though....
The bet I've seen so far, I just LOL'd so hard..... Especially at the Introverts UNITE (separately).. almost every image is me..... !!!!
This applies more to some decades ago, when I was 12-16 years old and MTV actually was about music... :laughing: ...when the first time seing a music video of a song you love, really changes the...
Oh So True.. And you torment yourself for it for hours, days, weeks and even years...
The other day one of my favourite people said I think you and I are really alike.. *yay* I know he is a soul mate, and I have allways known we will be really close friends some day. Until now...

When I've given a friend or encounter a promise, big or small, I bend backwards to keep that promise and be on time with it. But when the task is done it's not unusual that the other has forgotten...
That is one of my biggest challenges.
I tend to not take compliments in.... But my husband says wonderful things to me all the time, so I don't look elsewhere regardless :-) Have been with him half my life, so what I can recall from...
When you gladly accept looking bad doing what (you know) is right, than to do things wrong (to you) to look good. I can't stand people who put up facades to make them seem perfect. I would rather...

Thanks! The Myers Briggs test always concludes with INFJ so I go with that. ;)
Of course, those :-) I thought you meant there are specific questionnaires on this site. Thanks for clearifying.'
