'I don't like admitting it to the person smarter than me. Hopefully, I'll never meet them... haha
Not to take sides, but Eisenheim seems to be correct in that, the Human brain is the most sophisticated brain of any animal on the planet. It would not make sense to compare a human brain to a whale...
People who ruin movies or books for me. People who pretend they are nerds because they're trying to be cool. People who want to tell you all their problems but never want to hear the answers....
I think the reason I don't like routine is that I can never stick to a schedule. I don't like the way it makes me feel plus my sleep habits are crazy and I never know if I'm going to be awake in time...
I've never smoked or taken drugs but I used to have a pretty strong pull to alcohol (possibly functioning alcoholic) but I quit cold-turkey and haven't had a drink in almost two years.
Y (I was easily convinced to say yes)
I like that I'm a great friend. I never thought I was, but my friends always tell me so.
^ That's awesome
I think I do the chameleon thing because I don't want people to know that I'm not really feeling what they're talking about
Online, we are wordsmiths. One girl actually told me: I like seeing you in person. All my feelings for you go away
My vent: I'm tried of everyone trying to change the world. I'm idealistic, but I feel like there are things that shouldn't change. Society seems to think that everything is part of an evolution...
My father was great. It was more my mom that made my life difficult and he would inevitably take her side on things in order to keep the peace. I think my father was an INTx. My mom told me he...
When you don't like a certain movie or band because everyone else does and then years later, you realize how awesome said movie or band is/was and wish you had jumped on the band wagon because now,...
Well put. I agree completely.:proud:
I feel the same. It's true we don't divulge a lot about ourselves, but when I do divulge, I feel like people still don't understand. They know what I am like or how I think but they don't know...
being an INFP, I think I was a little A.D.H.D. at that age too. But my parents let me have a pocket knife. I was not allowed to bring it to school and if I cut anything that I shouldn't, (i.e. my...
I was just listening to WNYC's Radiolab podcast The (Multi) Universe(s) which talked about that theory.
I'm with you. Sometimes I feel like other INFPs are a lot nicer than me. Good post. Can't wait for some advice
I don't have any best friends. I'm kinda transient with people. I'm close with a few friends but I don't feel like anyone really knows who I am
People who think that pills are the easy way out are right. But it's okay to take the easy way out! If you are still going to your psychologist he will be able to monitor how you handle medication. ...
I feel the same way. There are a lot of things in this forum that I completely relate with but others that don't fit me at all. I think it's important that people realize what their strengths...
you guys need to check out Noah And the Whale
It helped me for a while; I was able to go out and have fun and not think about the situation. But I've since given up drinking. What really helps is talking to someone you trust. Realize what...
I used this:http://www.tmrzoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/jager_750_btl_trans.gif but it only helps for a little while...:frustrating:
Out of all the things mentioned in this thread, this is the only one that made me think I thought I was the only person in the world to do that! :proud: ...when you regularly use the term...
Max Chestnut :blushed:
You know you're an INFP when... you take the MBTI test :laughing:
I'm the same way. Sometimes it's because of memorization (I'm terrible at that), but other times, I think it's because I'm not really paying attention. My intuition would tell me I already knew what...
I like your idealistic view :happy: I guess what I meant was, I want to believe in equitable treatment of all people. I think all men are created equal but I don't think that means that all...
I want to believe that everyone is equal
I think broken is the right word. It kinda hurts to think of yourself that way but I think it's true. Sometimes I love being an INFP but most of the time, it feels more like an affliction. I'm...
I'm only good at spotting N types. NFs, NTs, it's easy. S types take more time for me to identify...
As a martyr or a hero
I appreciate your concern but it was a coincidence that I was prescribed the medication. When I got home from the pharmacy, I typed wellbutrin into the search box and found this article...
I have the same problem with crushes! (I started having crushes when I was three years old) I think you may have something with the dopamine. I just went to the doctor today and she gave me a...

I'm 26, 5' 10 and weigh 240. I've been overweight since I was 7 years old but am much healthier now. I go to the gym 6 days a week. My heaviest was 270 when I was 18 but I'm mostly muscle now
I like not being balanced! I feel like people who are balanced are just existing, we actually get to live life. We feel the highs and the lows. We go through the whole gamut of emotions and feelings....
I don't think it's narcissism so much as we are constantly trying to find out who we are. I can see how it might look narcissistic to other types, but it's not a fascination with how awesome we are,...
Thank you everyone for your posts. In Japan, blood type has long been associated with personality type. I thought it would be interesting to see if that theory held water:dry:
I would love to own a little cafe. Right now, I am a carpenter and do some work for a property manager. Carpentry is great! I get to be creative and what I have to do changes all the time so it's...
It's good to know I'm not the only one:happy: Sometimes I truly feel bad for him. He has a lot of issues that are similar to things I struggle with and I think by helping him work things out,...
I was reading the book Eat Right 4 Your Blood type and it said that your personality can be affected by your blood type. Type A blood in the book seems to describe INFPs and I happen to have Type...
I absolutely hate if that happens! I work with and ENTJ and I am constantly playing psychiatrist with him. Helping him feel like he isn't crazy... Anyway, he is constantly stealing my humor and...
I read deliberately, so, slow, yeah. It usually takes me a while to get into a book and then the closer I get to finishing it, the slower I go because I don't want it to be over:frustrating:
I was able to use Bose headphones with the volume up all the way (but I didn't tell anyone :wink:)
All of the girls I fall for are tragically insane...
I think they're trying to say that for INFPs it can be hard for us to hide our emotions. People can usually tell if we're upset or happy, etc. But for us to express how we feel is very difficult. ...
I agree. If I don't know what I want before I go shopping, I will end up walk around the store for a hour... I tend to compensate for my indecision by buying the more expensive option. I usually...'
