A true INFJ will see many different angles all at once but it can be overwhelming. I believe age comes into play also. A young Infj is still sorting out many different emotions, trying on different...
I believe INFJs are less apt to say anything until they have researched it, much like INTJ. We both strive for knowledge and typically won't go near conversations that we haven't already thought...
I enjoy extraverts. Funny thing is most of the time I am more talkative than my extravert friends but they always seem to be doing SOMETHING. I need to break every once in a while. Embrace what...
I have found MBTI to be extremely helpful in real life. Especially in close relationships. My husband is an ISTP and we've learned that we work extremely well together on projects. I dream things...
Many dark periods here. Sometimes I believe that because INFJ naturally understand human nature we can use that to hurt or do good. We can be very manipulative or know just what to say to hurt...
I don't believe their is much correlation. My mother and I are both INFJ. Her handwriting is beautiful and has many graceful swirls. My father I believe is a sensor and my handwriting is closer to...
At this point - with medication. I'm only a small dose of 1 medicine but I've learned GAD takes me over. I'm doing much better now. Still fiercely protective with the people I love. If I fear for...
I use facebook mainly for family and those I am close to that are long distance. I used to get irritated by it but not so much anymore. I just ignore or move past anything I can't handle. I have...
At first glance I say I detest it. But it really depends on the situation and if the other is trying to help or just enjoying a power trip. If it is meant to put me in a box or deny my opinions, I...
Context. Everything depends on situational context. I was going to say 'contradiction' to define but I think 'context' is a broader word. What I want? What most of us want - understanding.
I find these things pretty aggravating too. The 'I'm going to be late' text I see as a common courtesy. Usually I'm 15 minutes early to most things planned out in advance. I translate this...
A psych professor that I had admired told me I was going to mentally break if I wasn't careful. Made me question everything because I am overly careful about everything.
My heart is breaking for you right now. I wish I had more to say that could comfort you. I can't possibly tell you I know how you feel but I have a best friend going through a somewhat similar...
The stereotypes I've usually heard is tall, slim, dark haired, prefer classic clothes... Some ring true to me but I've found more similarities in facial features. Looking over pictures all the eyes...
Interesting question. Everyone gets equal trust on a 'people are innately good' kind of level. However, I will know very quickly how the relationship will progress or if it's worth fostering. ...
Most of these are true except #3. If I'm really trying to work something out I usually need to bounce my thoughts off someone else to make them real. If I'm stuck in my head without talking to...
Hate the system, love the man. All the cops I have dealt with have been great genuine people who really do care. I think in a way it's the system that can corrupt them. I babysat for a...
Yes. Very much so but it's not intentional. We are very good with helping and relating to others with their personal problems but there is a disconnect when we attempt to talk about ourselves. It...
First I want to say that I really appreciate your post. It seems like you are trying to find the good which to me is always something to strive for. Sometimes I believe the beauty is within our...
Feelings will trigger my Ni. They connect me to memories. Usually it's a feeling that jerks me back to a place where I visualize and then play out scenarios in me head. I do a lot of...
Mine usually have more to do with who is saying them and the context surrounding it. Lately I've been getting pretty pissed when I hear someone call me 'honey' or 'sweetie' in a condescending...
Once I started researching cognitive functions that 'fake' feeling started to disappear. I have questioned my own motives before many times. When I was working in customer service or the hotel it...
All. The. Time. I don't know if anyone already addressed this but I feel it's when I start conversing on a superficial level with the other person. There are many relationships I have that...
Food. Apple dumplings or pie, or just slice it up and put some peanut butter on it. Apple cider. Yum. If it's a red shiny one I think of fall. We have an orchard where I live that harvest a...
Sometimes I think the only reason is so there are people who can understand in this world. Not necessarily meant to change anything big but in small little close circles and passing moments. As...
That feeling is so uncomfortable. I can relate. Quality time here also. I think my second was words of affirmation which is probably why I feel it's necessary for those to hear they did something...
I would say I show people care through encouragement. I don't really like throwing 'I Love You' around and it actually irritates me when it's said too much. Somehow it takes the meaning out of it...
Usually not in my head much anymore. Way more into reading reactions and knowing how much the other is into it. If something is wrong I pick up on it immediately and the mood is gone. I married an...
Hugging usually makes me pretty uncomfortable if I'm on the receiving end. I think it's a fairly intimate gesture and could possibly have to do with some HSP issues. I'm not a fan of 'obligatory'...
Sometimes I fantasize about living in an area where you can bike easily to places... Then I think again. I'm lazy and then there's a slightly irrational fear of getting hit by a car while I'm on...
It helps me to try to walk the path of the other person. There may be personal fears, reasons, or things in their own personal moral code preventing them from seeing the path you are seeing. No one...
I do love to travel but I understand what you are saying about experience. I think this is why I haven't been outside the US other than Canada also. I've dreamed about it many times though. Like...
Ha! Yes! A vacation after a vacation is always needed! Maybe it's a burnout with too much Se going on??? I wonder if there is a way to keep that burnout from happening or if it's just how we're...
I don't believe we ever lose that hermit mode or need to retreat as INFJ. I also don't feel that there is anything wrong with needing solitude. Maturing to me has a lot to do with taking control of...
30 feels good to me. 31 now. Still don't know if you could call me mature though. :-) I think we mature in some ways but in others we can become more carefree and carry less emotional baggage as...
Totally agree with everything said about ISFJ. I have one in my family that it's been like our relationship is unraveling lately. She's always been over-the-top and kind of sets up these dramatic...
Lyric - Black holes are really interesting! I dated a guy eons ago that would talk for hours about them and I just loved to listen. Totally get the correlation behind chaos and wanting to simplify...
I haven't met any confirmed in real life but I know like 4 INFJ females. I've realized I had to have crossed paths with some because I was shocked when I started researching MBTI at how many...
Wondering how everyone feels about visiting new places??? The reason I ask this is because recently my ISTP hubby and I celebrated 10 years in a resort in a location we have both never been. (If...
Totally understand this feeling. What you brought up about having to be there for people and then they want to protect and shelter you in other instances - many many times and in many situations...
So many of you have already said what I wanted to say. Dreamer does not mean dragons and castles necessarily. Mine are much more grounded in the real world of what is possible to achieve or a...
Zombie-mode. I dig it. I like when the mundane stuff gets so routined that I don't have to think about it at all and just go on auto-pilot.... Laundry, washing dishes, really any type of constant...
That's awesome! Keep up with it! If my school had offered Latin I definitely would have taken it. It will help you tremendously in whatever you choose to do. Plus it's easier to learn other...
It has been my experience that most INFJs are quite intelligent but maybe not in the ways that society appreciates or recognizes. My INFJ mother has an IQ of 140, mine is 130. I go through this...
Ooooh. That's rough. I was a disaster in teen years. It got a little better in college and progressively gets better through your 20's. A teen INFJ not only has Ni shooting symbols and...
I am definitely more-so cautious. It has been my temperament for as long as I can remember. I like to know and be aware of my surroundings before acting. I have struggled with self worth but a lot...
Lyric summed up a lot of how I feel about college in her post. I also saw the inner politics and boxing in and dropped out half way through. I personally felt like I was being beaten into...
176442 Working out I do this sometimes..... 176450 Sometimes doing my hair turns me into a cave woman... 176474 I love my kids boots for gardening... 176498 This was a few years back but...
Summer here! I love to swim and hike and do outdoorsy nature stuff. My mood always improves with sunlight also. Allergies are the main culprit for not liking Fall or Spring. Plus where I live...
I don't generally like the term conspiracy theory. I believe it has negative connotations that box people in as different because they don't agree with the status quo. That being said I love...
