'I'm pretty sure I fight other kinds of windmills... can't think of any at the moment, but I'm sure I've gotten overly upset over small things.
Not necessarily. I tend to have extremely loose standards for others. Not really sure why, might come from not liking conflict.
Introvert isn't the same as shy, actually - you can have shy extroverts who want to be in a group of people but are too nervous too, and introverts who are just fine going up to people when they want...
Why did you want to be ENFJ? (just curious)
You sound INFJ to me. Introverts don't dislike people, they just need their time alone, whereas extroverts get tired out by being alone too long.
That's an interesting way of putting it XD
I'm a letter away from you, but I'm the same way about dark stories. Used to wonder if there was something wrong with me because of it.
Democratic schools, maybe? Like, the sort where things get decided by students and teachers voting. I went to an alternative high school that did that, and there were a lot more NFs in comparison to...
Depends what you're talking about... There's the ends justify the means darkside, and the righteous anger berserker mode, both of which were already mentioned. What I first thought to post about...
Myself, I was kind of amused by the thread. Kind of like funny culture clash situations, except with a look into other peoples' minds instead of a different location. I think it's partly that...
I've noticed that, for me, communicating with other types can get tricky. My roommate and I can go in circles for half an hour before realizing that we're both saying the same thing, but in different...
Sometimes the cost is too great. And if the girl just doesn't want to be with the guy, sometimes there's nothing to be done.
I've been in situations that could have looked like someone was doing this to me, but I already know my friend works too much sometimes and can't get online, so I've never thought it was this. I...
I do. During programming today. It was awkward. In general, I don't do it too often, and this most recent instance was probably partially caused by me having eaten too much corn lately. (My...
Stop *^&(*)(*( apologizing, I actually want to talk to you. Said only in my head. When people keep apologizing for sharing deep thoughts with me because they think it's depressing. They think...
Lol, I can't dance. Look stupid when I try to do the modern stuff. Old style dances can be fun, though - easier, since there's specific steps in a specific order.
Yes. Platonic, but I don't think that makes it any less loving. It's strangely similar to when I was really religious.
I love you now. So much. Carton is awesome. (Or are you just using knowledge from one of my other posts against me?) But, fangirling aside... I actually did think of him when I wrote that, but my...
I remember learning that lesson a couple years ago, and I'm really glad I did. Used to be trying so hard to do things right that I'd stress myself out, get depressed, and not realize that what I was...
Huh, I've never encountered that. Though, I seem to be good at avoiding annoying people before they start getting really annoying, and the INFJs I've been friends with have all been depressed at some...
That, and I think sometimes we get really sure that we're right about something, even if an authority disagrees.
In response to chocolate: The chocolate thing is really only short term, anyway. If you get the semisweet kind that's meant for baking but isn't so dark it tastes bitter, then there's less sugar. My...
Huh, I hadn't known that. Martial arts can be a good activity, but it depends on the personality of the instructor. It stops being fun when the teacher takes it way more seriously than you do.
If ENFJ depression is anything like INFJ depression, you might find the book Feeling Good: the New Mood Therapy helpful. Also, chocolate, exercise, getting out of the house, eating enough, and having...
I don't think it's always an issue. INFPs don't like conflict, if I remember correctly, which is also the case for my type. My roommate is extremely P, but I don't bother her about it because I don't...
I actually find it really interesting that he's on the same list as a lot of people who are considered heroes. I guess I consider it a cautionary thing about how we can go wrong.
I don't have that problem a whole lot - the getting sensitive to criticism and such. I think I might have a really developed T or something. My parents wanted me to go into the sciences (and I kinda...
Thanks for recommending that. I was actually going to, but on another forum I'm recommending it all the time and I keep feeling silly for having the same answer for so many people. That, and I just...
I don't do romance, but hugs are great.
strong but non-specific feeling of connectedness =/= a sign that I should become Christian. I guess it might've been, but I'd been sure I was gonna stay in the religion forever, and then it all fell...
I think one of the things about INFJs is they'll go all-out for their core values. One of the seeming paradoxes I really like is that Mother Theresa and Hitler were supposedly both INFJ. If you...
So... is it just me, or do INFJ (or at least NF) types seem to be popular as main characters? I think it might be because they fit well with a heroic type plot.
Good for you =) I need to start using Ni more, apparently. This is the kinds of decisions I wish I could make.
Even now, a lot of my morality comes from Christianity. My family was Presbyterian, though, so the values I picked up on were fairly liberal. I do remember it took months before I could be in the...
You know... I somehow managed to forget a pretty important bold thing. Didn't think of it because it's not like standing up to another person or doing something in public. When I left Christianity...
Darnay and Carton from A Tale of Two Cities. Mostly Darnay, because I really identified with his trying to fix the bad stuff the aristocracy did and failing.
I've noticed that IRL, communication is a bit easier between people of the same type, so maybe it's that we all think similar here, and so we talk similar because of it?
I can get really disturbed by the same creepy stuff I get interested in. I'm not really sure where the line is - it seems to move around, and to depend a lot on the situation.
Yeah, he probably does still think he's right. As I understand it, INFJs don't enjoy arguing, so we'll sometimes back down and leave it unresolved, or even pretend to agree. Gets the arguing done...
As I understand it, genetics can predisposition you for a certain personality type, but they're not the only factor.
I've heard that some people do think Jesus was INFJ. A bit late to test that, though, and I'd imagine he'd be too busy for personality tests when the apocalypse happens.
I don't think dieing makes it absolutely selfless. People might do something like that because it's important to them to be thought well of after they're gone, or because they believe in an afterlife.
I do get like that about scary things a lot. I think I enjoy feeling empathy for bad things, for some reason. I was interested in mental health things when I was younger, but that might have always...
I'm surprised how many other tech people are here... I've had someone tell me I was most likely INTJ (actually INFJ) partly because of my major. I figure I can probably just fake T pretty well, or am...
Well, I figure the high empathy probably helps with imagining what it would be like to be someone else. I can get really into character, to the point of physically feeling some of what my character...
Oldest of two, and I think the only NF in the family. My parents are both nerdy introverts like I am, though, and my sister and I get along really well these days, so it works.
I doubt I'll ever have a problem with not enough money. I developed a habit of saving a lot as a kid, and it's held up pretty well. These days, I've got a mentality about money in addition to that...
Usually don't do bold things in general. All I can think of are the few times when I yell at my dad for yelling at my sister, and those are just because it makes me mad to have people yelling at each...
I guess you can probably bring just about anything someone does back to some sort of attempt to make themselves happy or appease their psychology (the latter being in the case of self destructive...
Aah, I see. Thanks for the clarification.'
