'Pure sass when it strikes me.
It's hard to pinpoint one, but they typically have to do with being outdoors and being overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. Climbing mountains, swimming in the ocean, hiking in the woods. Those are...
Tell your therapist first. Mine was the first I told about any gay feelings and she helped me find a healthy path to understanding my sexuality. That's just part of psychology, which is what they do!...
Ahh yes I get this feeling with all of my exes. I am on good terms with all of them, a little too good of terms with some! But I love the memories of those happy times. I always thought that I just...
Yes! I was just going on about how I'm going to improve my health and diet just the other day, and today I have already eaten chocolate, cake and ice cream! It's not even my birthday. I have a wicked...
I really like all of the suggestions by infpblog, but I have a simple recommendation that has helped me tremendously. If you have an iphone, there is an app called Clear. It's a really simple to-do...
no_id Smoked. It tasted like metal and made you super high, like 5x that of weed.
I smoke pot pretty regularly and don't think much of it. It's not for the reasons you may think, either. I am a runner and I love to smoke and get high before a run. The imagination runs wild and it...
I agree on sensitivity, it has major advantages but some pretty profound downfalls. My moodswings get so terrible and I hate that it affects my productivity at work. I feel like I've gotten a...
I'd like to see this INFP map! I'm in New York City. Strange place for an NF. We have a love/hate relationship.
Yes! I feel this with my boss, strangely enough. He is married and I am in an LTR, and at first I was worried that I had a crush on him. It would be so wrong and inappropriate on so many levels....
I'm not a bachelor, but this sounds awesome.
I lol with my lol friends, and I haha with my haha friends. I'm sort of accommodating in that way.
I like the list format. I think it would be hard to name my favorites of all time, so I'll just name a few of my favorites and others I've recently read. I hope you can enjoy some of these! ...
Unsolicited reading advice is about as welcome as unsolicited music and movie advice. To each his own, man. And perhaps the Anna Karenina film that came out was a vapid little soap opera, but it...
Thank you! Very kind to say.
Currently reading Infinite Jest.
Nice list!
Yes, sounds like conflict avoidance, and yes I totally relate. I can be very chameleon-ish. I also attribute this to feeding off of other people's emotions or energy. When someone is taking a stance...
I was bullied as a kid for being different. Something I'm sure many INFPs can relate to. I just wasn't like any of the other kids. When I was a teenager, I figured I must have been one of the bad...
I love this, strange video too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVeMiVU77wo
I'm feeling very torn between the two worlds within my personality. I want to embrace my INFPness in the world, but have found that it has done me no favors in the working world, or with making my...
sky2evan This is good advice! I have another work commitment and can't make it to the next game, but I will say something (probably exactly what you suggested) and just go from there. On the email...
Haha I've already thought of that!
Thanks for this lovely reply! Your words have made me feel much better about the situation. I will try to turn this problem into a positive. Thanks again!
I think you are mistaking religion for philosophy. Sorry, I realize that has been mentioned before. I was raised Christian and now see myself as apathetic to how religion affects my life, but feel...
Not really, just getting excited for the new Arrested Development :laughing: But really, I have done something I regret. I volunteered myself for our company softball team, and I am not very good....
Wise beyond your years! This is good advice for everyone, especially INFPs. I especially love the part I highlighted in bold. I'm sure we can all relate to this. Thank you!
Good questions!
My apartment is always a mess.. I sort of try to clean it, but my INTP partner tends to do most of the dirty work. We have a cat and a dog too, so it's a fair bit of work. It's an old building, which...
Dove_Eyes I can't exactly put my finger on it.. Not that I date by type (my partner is INTP), but I do admit that I find a solid pattern of attraction to NT males. I think what is most appealing...
Surrender by Toni Bentley, Fresh Off the Boat by Eddie Huang, and Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace.
I am a shy girl with a major thing for ENTP men. So far your theory holds true.
I get quirky a lot. Not my personal favorite, but I get it. I come off as shy because I'm afraid to let my freak flag fly, but once I do, people start to like and accept my quirks. And f$&k 'em...
It's very true, the increased flexibility is incredible. And to be frank, nothing shapes the butt quite like yoga ;)
Well not really a gym rat per se... but I do take care of my body. I like to run, do yoga, go hit some balls at the batting cage, anything active and fun to keep my body lean. I don't obsess over it,...
I don't want to have kids, and because of this, I don't really see the point in getting married. I would consider marriage if I really loved someone and they didn't want to have children either. ...
Hmm, I might have the definition of creepy wrong here, but she is creepy in a good way too. Sorry to sound uptight. :blushed:
I have a female INTJ friend that I would describe as creepy. She makes no bones about letting people know when she fancies them, whether they return those feelings or not. Sadly, usually not. She...
Greatest Strength: Compassion Greatest Weakness: Moody/Neurotic Quality you most admire in other people: sick math skills! Smarts. Intellectuals. Love those NTs. Quality you least admire...
I worry about how dark and cynical I truly am. I appear to be light and fluffy so people will not know that I am secretly worrying about bigger things at hand. I think we all do this to some extent....
These statements really resonated with me. I don't like being teased.. even in the nicest of ways.
I feel the same way! Pretty much summed it up right there.
My INTP boyfriend said that he would describe me as awkward in my communication. I asked him why, and he said it was because I don't make fun of people. Well... not to their face anyway. :P ...
A friend of mine, another fellow INFP, is nearly finished with her social work program and is so happy that she did. I think working 1 on 1 with people on a case by case basis is more effective for...
I have read it, and I thought it was fantastic. I thought it was very well written and thoroughly researched. I've always been made to feel bad that I'm significantly less extroverted that most...
If it would help you feel better, I would gladly read your poetry. I don't know how much credibility you are looking for, but I do live in New York and have worked in publishing. Plus I love to read!...
I don't like potatoes.
I have a BA in Communication. It really helped me get out of my shell during my college years. I jumped right back in after I graduated, but I'm doing alright!
I'm glad that you've found my advice helpful :) you will make it through these difficult times.'
