Diplomats INFJ

Quiet and mystical, yet very inspiring and tireless idealists.

'Until my mid-twenties I couldn't care less what other people got up to, but in the last few years I've become more anxious that I'm missing out on stuff... For example, I never used to care that...

I wholeheartedly disagree. You absolutely should care about what you do for a living. Follow your passions and Change the world, man. Come on, we're idealists! I know it's not easy to find and...

Male INFJ and got... 66.667 masculine 66.667 feminine 57.5 androgynous But what does this mean?!

Life

Imagine my surprise when, two years later, I Googled 'INFJ DJ' and my own thread (which I'd completely forgotten about) came up! :laughing: Well now I'm here, and there doesn't seem to be any...

To extend the analogy further, those plants are growing fruit in the same garden. But the garden has bad soil. We all have good intentions, but we're all brainwashed by the bright lights and...

That's a great analogy and you're totally right. The question is, how? I don't think the world needs more educators or preachers. Watch this clip of Russell Brand get berated by the crowd for...

We live in a horrifically unfair world. Capitalism is a huge cause (and result) of it. The idealist within me wants to rebel and change it. Like a calling, I feel it would be the right thing to...

I'm totally addicted to bass... http://youtu.be/wmwGGLrDvfE Please forgive me

Fear Of Missing Out

Recently I've been sympathising with the so-called 'bad'. I used to be open to others' beliefs and values to an extent. When it came to the people we call 'terrorists', I thought They have a right...

I'll admit, if I'm close to losing my 2:1 thank/post ratio I look for a good opportunity to post something helpful!

Yup. This is me after prolonged social interaction...  http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UUBBVvfBUcM/T1t8Zi673mI/AAAAAAAAA0c/uEdZ-PA4IpI/s1600/homer-simpson-bush-gif.gif

I don't know about you guys, but I love memes. I'm one of those people that replies to office-wide emails with a meme. It's satisfying to hear the scattered chortles that arise from it :) So,...

How do you feel about it? I have a distant relationship with death, thankfully. None of my family or friends have passed away for the last 15 years or so. I've never attended a funeral. It could...

My musical tastes change day-to-day, but here's what I've been listening to this week... Shadow Child - Friday Javeon - Intoxicated Solid Stone - Remember Me http://youtu.be/0kYc55bXJFI][B...

Well since you put it like that..! I suppose my pessimism is reflected in my original post. My optimism actually aligns with what you're saying. I'm very spiritual and appreciative of the world...

All good points. I think the gist of it is, I sometimes feel very removed from the world around me. Without any positive validation of my actions I feel my existence is somewhat worthless. It's not...

You'll have booked a hotel for yourself anyway, right? So have dinner, see how it goes, do the inevitable walk-and-talk-after-dinner routine, then say, Hey listen, do you wanna come back to my...

Finally, my life is worth living!! :laughing:

I could be the highest-flying businessman, the fastest sprinter, the most successful lawyer. But if no one appreciates what I'm doing, I couldn't care less. I could out-earn all my friends, even...

As an extreme example, some INFJs report experiences of a psychic nature, such as getting strong feelings about there being a problem with a loved one, and discovering later that they were in a car...

Greetings, Lately I've been under a lot of pressure - I'm self employed and have a hundred things going on - and it's taking its toll on me physically. It got to the point last night where I...

If you're going to have to stick at it for 5 years, my advice is to not do it. Five years is way too long not to get distracted by another idea. But, if you really want to do it, find a business...

Completely disagree. Photography is exactly about gathering information and making decisions. Before you even take the photo you're looking around for something interesting, emotive, suggestive......

Hello PerC! Haven't posted for a while. Anyway, this test has been going round Facebook and I was quite interested to see how balanced my results were... 53% left 47% right Curious to note the...

INFJ's love making lists. It's evident from browsing this forum. I thought I'd share some reasons why you may want to make a list... - To arrange tasks in order of importance - To weigh up the...

I hate this question, particularly if it's work related. I have a terrible short-term memory for detail. I can work hard all day and get a lot done (on the rare occasion I'm not procrastinating)....

Basing your career on money is the worst choice ever. Especially for an INFJ. Trust me, you'll be happier in a band earning f***-all than in a job you can't stand that's well paid. Plus after a few...

Noticing them I notice there's something about them. I like their aura. Then I get a bit obsessed and put my Facebook stalking glasses on. I ultimately convince myself she's the one. Getting to...

I've thought about this before. I over-share, constantly. I think it's because I'm lacking a 'go-to' - you know, the person you share your life's story with. For years I was in a relationship and was...

The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal. Because any moment might be our last. Everything’s more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will...

Hello, fellow Brit :) Just to provide balance on your comment, I agree 'Britain' as a whole isn't all that (depending what you're looking for). There is lots to do and a ton of history, but for...

Tits and ass! :cool: Haha, kidding (sort of). This is a rather timely thread as I have a date in a couple of hours. I'm hoping that she'll be intelligent, capable of deep thought, open-minded,...

I've met so many Canadian ENFJ's, it's bizarre. Had a really good relationship with one of them too for a while :) Also attracted to and dated Americans, but it's difficult to find one who doesn't...

I'm a 4! Any other 4's go through the following motions when discovering they were INFJ? Yes! INFJ! The rarest of them all! Always knew I was special! Wait, that means there are others like me?...

It's the last thing any INFJ wants to hear, but... just go with the flow :) You seem to get on amazingly well so keep it going if it seems right and don't think so hard about the future. Try to live...

I was never told this at the time, but years later (when I had a long-term girlfriend) my parents told me they were 'concerned' since I had more girl than guy friends and never spoke about girls. I...

Haha, aw. Was that because they couldn't find you? :P

Haha, I knew it wasn't just me being antisocial! There's just so much fun to be had inside my mind...

A few things I was often told when living at home. Feel free to share yours :) Oh, you're home? We didn't hear you... It would be nice if you could voluntarily help out around the house....

Oddly, my relationships with people have been the complete opposite... 4 years and 3 years!

Simple question. How often do you change jobs? Having read a few posts, I sense it's common for an INFJ to chop and change a lot. Personally, I get bored once I feel like I have nothing else to...

Haha. I went on a date with an INFJ once. We got on incredibly well, but deep down I knew she wasn't what I was looking for. At the end of the date we talked about meeting up again and where we could...

I have an open mind :)

It's a tech startup. We're a disruptive technology aiming to make advertising more ethical. It was tough at first, but I've acclimatised to the uncertainty now and enjoy it a lot. I think if it were...

Well 1, 2 and 3 are in order. The door is open for love any time, but I have no control over it so I just tagged it on the end :) Not intentionally, but the best relationships I had was with...'
