Hmm. I'll have more later...
ISTP - very introverted and controlling ENFJ - very smart and warm ESFJ - very warm and gets things done ENFP - first girlfriend, Her dad was INFP. She was a musician, left-handed, like me. ESTP...
I write with my left hand, but I can do many things with either (except scissors!~)
Sometimes I hear music, and it makes me cry. This has always filled me with a sense of shame; shame for who I am. I was always a sensitive boy, and it's a difficult trait to reconcile against the...
I did ok in HS, ok in college. I found that, if I was really interested in the subject, I would crush it. Grades meant nothing, but consuming the topic was everything. On the other hand, if I...
I think INFP's feel that the kind of thing you did is symbolic of a self-sacrifacing nature, which is high on the list of important values.
A KEY to doing this is to breathe the right way. You have to take long, deep belly breaths until your lungs are almost full. At that point, your autonomic nervous system will be activated and your...
Meditate, or try to focus only on what is right in front of your eyes, right NOW. When you wash the dishes, try to focus on the motions involved. How does the soap feel on your skin? The warm water?...
All I know is that I would never date me.
I't s phase for me. I'm almost done with it...
I realized resently that I have to feel pain, really feel it, to understand it. I can't hide or deny it, because it's there for a reason. Do you think that all of the suffering you have endured has...
41........
I was excited at first, or I should say, releaved, since it meant that there were others who share my experiences to a degree. But it has not changed the fact that I am different than others....
I probably qualify. I can go on a terrific tear of self hatred and destruction at times. Then I realized that the self-hatred was just another form of self-obsession, and therefore no different...
I have never wanted to be rescued. I just want to be understood. Actually, I really want to understand myself so I can make my art with greater clarity. I'm not on this earth to be rescued, or even...
Two of my best friends in this world are ESTP's. I really enjoy hanging with them and being able to piggyback on their great social skills, and hear their ideas and enthusiasm for life. They get me...
I like that I can sometimes see things clearly, that I understand music so well, that I am intolerant of abuse and inequality. I dislike that I can't seem to get out from under this cloud of...
I'm 6 feet tall. Medium build. wide shoulders. Always had strong legs. Freakishly-big big toes! I used to be pretty skinny, but bulked up a lot on my mid-20's...long time ago now. I think my face...
I have a BA in classics (ancient Greek and Latin). I also played in the U jazz band and studied piano in the music dept. Pretty infp, huh? lol It was all completely useless, and now I'm an...
YOU GO! I support this move 100%
AWESOME! Fuck YEAH!:tongue:
I know this is pretty standard advise, but 'be yourself'. What that means is, be vulnerable. I have a really good therapist (who I think is an INFP) who tells me that many women want a man who is...
hehe...in typical infp fashion, I have already rethought that statement about cars and sports...I love bicycles, and can get pretty obsessive about carbon fiber do-dads and watching the races, so...
14 years with an ISTJ. Glad it's over. I tried, i really did, but after a while, it just became futile. we're still friends though. She's a good person. Just not right for me.
It sucks feeling like you have to talk about football and cars all the time, when I really want to talk about music and science and spirituality. blah... I've only known 2 or 3 other male infp's....
Pretty rare, partialy because we feel compelled to act like BIG STRONG E men just to get through the day. It's exhausting.
I'm a musician. Drums, mostly jazz, but I love funk, rock. Everything. I played piano for years too. Bass guitar a little. practice was always an issue for me. I got by on natural ability...
My point was that you can't make an exact copy because it's not a simple matter of DNA. there are many adaptation that take place after birth and during gestation that determine complex phenomena...
My super organized GF uses Google calendar and the iphone, along with a clip board. My method is to rely on her!
I'm not convinced that personality has much to do with genetics. Someone tried to clone a cat a few years ago. Guess what? The clone looked completely different, and was temperamentally different...
I can honestly say that I've never gotten what I wanted out of life or relationships. I'm 41 years old. I have suffered from things in this life of mine. And yet I still have hope. I can still...
I really have no idea if she is infp. I'm really not concerned. Maybe she's Enfp! But I will say this: the few times I have seen interviews with her, her words and thought and personality really...
I think she is wonderful. Absolutely.
I'm already there. Most of what I wanted in my life, I just don't have the horsepower to accomplish.
It may bring joy to the soul, but it won't butcher a pig to feed your family. that's what a 'practical' person would say Sure, go play with your little toys while I do the hard work of building a...
I don't want to type people. I think it emphasizes the wrong things. I trust my instincts.
We all have faults. Every person on earth. INFP's get a lot of shit for being different, and I used to take that to heart. Then I started calmly looking at things, and realized this: Yeah, I may...
One of my best frineds when I was younger was ISFP. Bromance! We were inseperable, both played drums, and were very supportive of each other. To date, he has written 7 novels.
HAHA! Soo true.
I had a therapist who wanted me to go to a therapy group...for psychotics! This because I told her that I hear music in my head all the time...WTF? She stopped being my therapist pretty fast.
Thanks. I think you're pretty weird and naive too.
Luli, I think it's great that you are so devoted to your son's happiness. He will benefit from it for the rest of his life.
Dammit, I typed a bunch of stuff, then the network went down. So here it is again! Write a list of what you like/love/respect/admire about him. then tell him that. It's that simple. Tell him...
I'm suprised at the amount of relationship trouble other INFPs experience, epsecially female INFPs. I know it's hard for males, but females too? Is it the idealism? Anyway, I can be a little...
I pick my fingers til they bleed, pretty much on a daily basis. I do this when I''m alone or with others. I also tap my feet ormove constantly. My ex used to get on my case about it. My current GF...
Scorpio (please, don't touch my pinchers) I have some avoidant tendancies. Personal interaction can sometimes make me feel very anxious and uncomfortable.
I know I'm an INFP. It was a perfect fit when I was younger. Now the descriptions seem condescending and maudlin to me... Life has a way of equalizing your personality, despite your temperament. I...
I've played music for a long time (drums, bass and piano). I've recorded pop, jazz, free-jazz, D&B, funk, fusion and country. It's definitley my thing, moreso than language.
You should join a band, Snail. You have a lot of talent. Keep working. I really like it!
I was not considered gifted as a child. 'Special' but not gifted...:sad:
