'I can deal with jobs I don't love, I've never had one I loved but having a job that sucks is a beat down. It was fine until last February but some policy changes made it a very stressful daily litmus...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCmm4Qdrmxc Pretty sure it's a looping video but it made me laugh.
I'm getting worried retirement will never get here. Exactly 10 weeks from tomorrow is my last day at work but that feels like forever. Burned out from the night shift, the increasing demands &...
I have some good memories of the 70s, that was my teen years. Good movies & music but a few garish things also like disco, AMC Pacers, novelty pop songs like Convoy, polyester cloths & some really...
This reminded me of how trying to do good so often blew up in my face. Busted out laughing. Pinky's going to the back of the line! : ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HyucJrsGhM
I feel like I'm surrounded by mannequins at work. It's rather high stress & expectations are high so everyone emotionally shuts down to survive. Like they're hiding their stress, rage, insecurity &...
I was mid-thirties before I knew what the MBTI was. I had returned to college & my psychology professor gave us the test & then explained the results. I think I was the only INFP in the class. She...
I like riding motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, playing guitar & shooting at my local pistol range. Once I retire & move away from the city I'll get back to sky watching again with a decent telescope.
I still cringe over things I did or said over 50 years ago. I didn't really assimilate until my 30s so I found myself in awkward social positions constantly. The worst are things I said that were...
A comet. I missed a chance to see one when I was about 9 but I got a chance to see one about 30 years later. By then I had a telescope & 8x56 binoculars.
In grade school (1960s) they bussed us to a few orchestral concerts which I loved. Around 1971 me & my friends rode our bicycles to a free rock concert in the park by a band called Bloodrock. They...
Sounds a lot like what I went through many years ago. INFP, 4W-5, 3 major depressions 19-23, abusive father & I was very reclusive socially. I spent 12 years of public school basically hiding. My...
It occurred to me years ago that I've never completed one New Year resolution. Not one, ever. So I quit making them. It felt like chasing butterflies. When I give up & walk away they come back & land...
The idiot judge thought Couch was too rich to have a conscience. Imagine if all judges followed that thought & just said Not guilty to every rich murderer, rapist, arsonist, thief, vandal &...
Drill sergeant. I was offered that opportunity & thought about it a minute. Then busted out laughing.
58 & in my second marriage. I no longer believe in soul mates. It feels like it when you're in love for the first several months but when the magic's gone it's a job. Requires work, commitment,...
I would have loved to have an opportunity to date an INFP but it never happened. I've known very few & they were all married or had boyfriends. I always ended up in relationships with extroverts who...
By the age of 8 probably a million people said I didn't talk enough or there's something wrong with me or I'm mad because I didn't talk enough. Including my extroverted family. Everyday I heard that...
Yes, 4W5 here too.
I was about 12 when Mr. Rogers arrived on TV. I was amazed that he was my dad's age & yet he wasn't enraged, violent, bitter or judgmental like my dad. Like a friend but old & wise. It was quite...
For me it depends on my comfort zone. I can be very social or a cold robot, depending on the environment. I'm usually somewhere in the middle. Wondering if that's how other INFPs are. I haven't known...
I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex in north Texas. I hate it but I can move when I retire in 2017. Too much traffic, road rage & snow for me. And flat. I miss hills. People don't seem happy...
I believe that there is life after death. Or after the death of our physical bodies.
I can still remember running from dinosaurs.
I'm Libertarian. I want a small, affordable government with limited power over me that will allow me the freedom & opportunity to pursue my goals. A big, expensive, controlling government is like...
I will be traveling a lot from 2018 forward. No time until I retire then. Hopefully I can see Australia, Africa, Ireland, Spain, Italy & Hawaii before I check out. And some closer places too; never...
I hit the gym or do a long bicycle ride. It's the last thing I want to do when I'm depressed but it's worth the pain. The endorphins pick me up for hours. When I get home I turn on all the lights in...
Infp
My goal is just to not be poor or work until I'm too old to breath. I hated the struggle & discouragement of being broke years ago & aimed for getting out of that hole. I finally did but I have no...
My wife gave me a small, white gold cross on a chain about 14 years ago & the only time I take it off is when I have to walk through a metal detector.
If I'm not comfortable around people I'm boring. I basically shut down. If I'm around people I'm comfortable with I often go into goofball comedian mode. Or sometimes I'll just go do stuff with them...
For me, being authentic is not letting the culture define me by it's terms. I don't give much thought to what I'm expected to say or think or how I look or act around people. Or how they react to it....
Woohoo! What fun! I've been dragged to a few of them over the decades. NOT my thing. I sit in a hot itchy suit & tie & watch drunk people trying to get the rest of us drunk. Sometimes they insult the...
I drank a lot of caffeine when I worked the night shift but I found out too much makes me tired. I had what they call adrenal exhaustion. Depleted adrenal glands from too much caffeine. Energy...
On the surface I'm a robot, especially at work or in crowds. If I'm alone in my thoughts, watching movies, talking to someone one on one, listening to music or playing it I feel all kinds of emotions.
My uncle still owns the Ford Model T that his mom drove him to school in. I rode in it once. Slow but so much fun. My dad & his other brother rode a horse to school. (yeah I'm that old :) I drive a...
Most people don't get my sense of humor, not even my wife so it doesn't get out much. Now & then I'll bust out laughing & have to say Funny thought, not worth mentioning to someone around me. I'll...
Jor, I know what you're going through. Being a young INFP male SUCKS. Completely. But being an older INFP male is good! We're wired to get our affirmation from others when we're young. No way around...
People used to ask me why I was angry when I was just deep in thought. I quit trying to explain that I wasn't angry & started making up silly answers for them.
I'd quit my job & travel for about a year. Then I'd sell my house & move to the country, away from this overcrowded city I live next to.
At my age I can't remember jack squat & lyrics rarely stick with me unless they tick something to make me think awhile. Then I never forget them. I'm usually focused on the melody & the voice is like...
Self-preservation is more important to me at 58 than it was when I was younger. Partly because I don't want my wife to be a widow & partly because I take WAY longer to heal from injuries than I used...
First wife was ESFJ. We didn't really fall in love so much as we just grew on each other. Same sense of humor, same interests & tastes in music but completely opposite core values. Current wife is...
I've had the same hobbies for 40+ years. Riding my motorcycle, playing my guitars & shooting my pistols & revolvers at the local gun range. I'll probably be doing these into my 70s or more if I live...
I was bullied mostly by my dad & older brother growing up. Both ESTJ, first born & left brain alpha types. Like twin monsters. :angry: Along the way there were a few who tried to bully me & I just...
My answer will basically make me a hypocrite but it's an honest answer. I would want my wife to just tell the person who got picked & to describe the thief & leave it at that. Especially if it's a...
I just drove through a rough part of town & this 80s song popped into my head. Sometimes reminds me of my past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZt7J0iaUD0
I'd get an AR15 & a shotgun & go looking for those smelly bastids. I that doesn't kill them I'd get a Nickelback CD from the dollar store & drive around playing that with my windows down. Wearing...
I thought about going back to finish after I retire in a few years, just to learn more. I was a psychology major & I really missed it when I left. Still do sometimes.
After my freshman year it was good for me to quit but when I returned in my 30s everything was so much better that I do regret quitting my senior year then, especially for my reason at the time. At...'
