Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

'Someone should cheer me up, I've had a really bad day.

I was missing at least a day a week in my final year for similar reasons. My parents knew how to game the system in such a way as to get me out, fortunately. But at least things are better for...

Pretty much my experience with middle/high school as well. I am so happy that I was able to test out and graduate two years early. I think my life would have gone to a really dark place really fast...

I definitely relate, it happens to me even when the plans are minor, but the bigger the plan, the bigger the depression. I don't get angry like you did, I jump straight to depression. It's just one...

Wristcutters: A Love Story: Watched this yesterday and it is now probably one of my favorite movies. It plays the premise straight, and leaves a lot of humor unacknowledged which honestly makes it...

D: I know that one. I'm sorry and hope you feel better soon. I am feeling sick myself, came down with a cold and when I get sick it always hits me pretty hard. At least it only happens once in...

I know that love comes to all of us in time, and mostly I am really okay with being single (until I am absolutely not, anyhow). But sometimes the wait to fall back in crush is just so... shitty.

Nope, never really happened to me, I've also not particularly had a large crush on that many people in my time. One time, someone I had a large crush on put their arm around me to steady themself...

I am straight-up one of those people who needs the label before I am cool with the hand holding. Hand holding, and putting the arm around the shoulder mean a lot to me, and I need firm definitions...

Even if I liked a person, and this happened to me, I would be freaked out beyond belief. Tell them you like them? Fine. Please don't rush into that kind of touching, however.

You and me both, you and me both.

And what I am trying to say is that looking at this relationship from a type perspective is kind of devaluing the role of individuals in relationships. Trying to decide whether or not to pursue...

Honestly, in situations like this I think it's best to not rely on other people's histories with type-interaction. Assuming that people or relationships will work one way or another because of their...

My sibling's SO is an INFJ. They're a great person, we just don't do a whole lot of talking, as we're both overwhelmingly quiet-types.

Romantic, or any kind of relationship?

Sometimes I compose texts and leave them unsent in the drafts folder of my phone. More often than not, these texts are asking people to hang out and I cannot bring myself to send them, and I hate...

Me!

I am, like many others in this thread, a starer. I need to have a friendship with a person for crushy feelings to develop. If they talk to me I tend to get flustered and awkward (I also do this...

I ping people's gaydars all the time. I'm effeminate, and I play it up a lot (it's easier for people to interact with a femmy mask than shades of personality, especially initially, so whatever) and...

I have so much trouble picking favorites, I know my favorite T.V show and that's about it. Otherwise it's too much of a tossup.

It's one of those things that I have come to accept is better just not to ask about.

I actually got four compliments in one day this week, which was awesome! The most recent compliment that I got that made my day was, Actually, you look really good at hugs, could you give me one?

Yup! I have pretty bad social anxiety in general, in fact today I had to use the cash registers at work for the first time and was so uncomfortable and shy that I was lightly shaking the whole time....

Everyone's life is of value, and you matter. Your problems matter, if they're making you feel like this they're big enough that they matter. Please, please please please please please don't do...

If you need them to step back and explain something, ask. My best friend is an INTP and I feel like I tend to get too in-depth about things at times. If someone gets lost I am glad to go back and...

Like Codera my affect is pretty anxious/depressive/nervous/whathaveyou. This fades into the background over time, but I am a very anxious person and I find the best way to keep friends in the face...

On occasion, but even amongst my close friends I am overwhelmingly the quietest. This isn't to say that I don't talk at all, but I just don't tend to run my mouth unless I am communicating via text.

Quite the opposite, actually. I'm told I don't talk enough, as listening is my default mode of social interaction.

A bit lonely, I'm always along on Valentine's Day, and normally I think nothing of it, but a lot of my friends are having a rough time with it this year and it's apparently rubbed off on me.

I am pretty cheesy-- okay, I'm a total cheese ball but like others have a tendency to suppress it often. I often want to make deeply sentimental gifts, but re-channel that urge into making gifts...

So, tomorrow's Valentine's Day and a friend in one of my classes is having a rough time because they went through a breakup about two months ago and they're feeling lonely at this time. Because of...

Okay, let's get into this in detail now that I have the time. Like others, I'm very guarded. Most of my relationships function on me listening to other people's problems, bringing down their...

Because I am me and I am a terrible person. I'll expand on that this evening when I have a minute.

INTP, ISTP, IxFx. The INTP and I have great synergy, but have some trouble with emotional intimacy, in that we don't discuss our problems with eachother at length. The ISTP and I, however, are very...

I always go one of two ways with gift giving, go for something like the OP is going for, thoughtful, appropriate, stressful, or go for something still on some level personal, but go for humor instead.

How long have you been studying Japanese? I'm headed into the back end of my second year now and kanji has become significantly easier to memorize and pick up. I find that this is because over time...

Dear friend/acquaintance/whateverthehellyouare, I feel like maybe I weirded you out at some point and that was never my intention. I get it if you don't want much to do with me, I can handle that,...

I know I don't. I have friends whom I enjoy seeing, and one whom I often come to with my problems, but they don't really understand me deeply or help much. I want to know someone who will give my...

Full-body shot, what? I bought some gaudy red pants, and this is a picture of me wearing them. http://imgur.com/ejQdiJshttp://i.imgur.com/ejQdiJs.jpg?1...

It would certainly be a bit more convenient for me if I could feel romantically inclined to people that I am not really close with, as I certainly am currently struggling with the concern you mention...

How easily do you trust people? Was there any event (assuming you are weary of people) that made you cautious? Not very easily at all. Yes, there have been several, some too personal for me to...

This is interesting to me, as for me the point at which I am all-in is the point at which I realize there's even that kind of interest there for me. It may be because I am young and really haven't...

It is pretty hard for me to say, as I've only opened myself up for rejection once, and when I did I knew what was coming, but having it put out there was a huge relief. Because I always wait so long...

I have the same issue, I have direct questions in my head, but I need to ask a soft lead in or two to get to the question(this gives me room to back out if one of their answers indicates that I...

This is very much my MO. Occasionally, I need to step back and ask myself if I'm intentionally not seeing something or am being deliberately naive, but the answer's almost always no, so I tend to be...

Yup, my high point is 152, which is so peripherally on the genius end of the scale that I'm often scared to take any tests, should they knock me down significantly. But what you say is basically...

I can't speak to romance, but my best friend is an INTP and we get on smashingly well. We bounce ideas off of each other, get into things pretty deeply and then fly off on random tangents, this...

Scored a 71, which puts me lower than I have scored before, but still not bad. Puts my IQ between 127 and 129.

That would make sense, environmental factors and all that. But that's true, if I score lower than I would like that doesn't suddenly mean that I am more stupid than I was yesterday, or four years...

For sure, I scored very very well on some IQ tests in school when I in my early teens, so I always get nervous when thinking about reexamining my IQ like having the number change is going to do harm...'
