Diplomats INFP

Poetic, kind and altruistic people, always eager to help a good cause.

'I think INFPs make the best gifts to their friends, because we as INFP tend to be thoughtful and idealistic in what we do. So, my INFP fellows, what is the best gift(s) you have ever gave. Feel...

It is said of INFPs, that we usually dream of a better world, but what have you done so far to make it happen?

Nope. Not true. The guy who has become my Team Lead only got that job because I declined. He himself admitted that I'm better than him. The only thing he is better than me is because he is a people's...

England resp. the UK is not in the EU anymore. lol

Yeah, I know. But at least you have a rough image of it's people and culture. Europe is bar large European dominated - by looks as well as culture. It is not as a melting pot as Australia is.

I don't like them. If anything I only play Mario Karts and Civilization. lol

The mere fact that there are a-holes, don't puzzle me neither. It's the fact that these people have power in areas where you have to take care of others and not yourself.

I don't back out of plans. I usually tend to stick to it to the very end. But deciding on what plan, is like really hard. I would usually consider all possible outcome before I can make a choice.

Why did you choose it and what does it mean?

For European women I may get a sense what you mean. But for Australien women? Australia is a country of immigration. People from over the place and backgrounds are there. Thus the notion of an...

According to him, yes.

Was it really necessary?

Was this an veiled insult?

Mind you, being sexy and being attractive is not always the same thing.

I find most puzzling is that people who are obviously malicious, stupid, ill-intended, have toxic personality, often get promoted or are respected. While soft hearted people who could benefit the...

In my 20s I used to like types like Heidi Klum https://www.meaus.com/117-heidi-klum-1.JPEG But looking back at her pictures they aren't as appealing as they used to be for me. Nowadays I...

I know keyboard stickers are easily to find on the internet: https://keyshorts.com/collections/laptop-keyboard-decals?page=2 But they either all have letters on them or they are blanko keyboard...

According to the flowchart, I'm Secular Humanitarian  https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/1a/d2/90/1ad290007c49697cdd66fec78fbdd798.jpg

I asked myself that question when I created this post here: http://personalitycafe.com/infp-forum-idealists/1107234-infps-please-describe-your-dream-girl-guy.html#post37081666 In that post, I...

You can do so by descrcribing his/her personality with words or post pictures of him/her.

Looking in the eyes of other people.

What a common misconceptions people have about you (as an INFP)

I'm in my 30s now. And not before 30, I didn't had sex. Though there were a few girls who were interested in me and openly said so, I never had a real gf or sex till 30. After I hit 30 I had sex with...

If you do, why? I'd be interested in your reasoning.

I'm (probably) an INFP. And I simply love and pride myself in the core aspects of an INFP. For nearly two years now I'm working as a Software Developer. Probably due to the way of work and the way...

That's the point. Nice guys aren't nice. They are actually pretty mean..... or better miserable beings. That's where my confusion comes from. I think, even if INFP guys aren't necessarily nice...

Very good description of the mechanism behind the nice guy syndrome.

I just realized I misunderstood the question. The question was in what way am I NOT stereotypical INFP. But instead the points above describes what makes me stereotypical INFP. Shame on me. -.-

There is a study about this that I've seen by the Times I think. If you are referring to the same study, then I have to say that this study doesn't make much sense and I doubt it's credibility and...

I think someone else mentioned it before: You have to differentiate between intent and action. If you look at the action only, then I do think lots of INFP appear to be nice guys. If you stop being...

Most of the content of your post make sense to me. Except this here> The nice guy is actually an a-hole. Contrary to the genuine nice guy, the nice in the nice guy actually mean the...

I - am ideaistic - daydream without intention - don't care about what is trendy or not. I like what I like - usually side with the underdogs, the less fortunate, people in need - can't work in...

So, basically you are similar to what I have described: If someone misinterprets your kindness, then you'll change your behaviour towards them, i.e. you won't be nice to them next time. This could...

No idea what you mean with nut her. But if you mean sex, then yes, that too. But it includes more: Find a girl/woman for a relationship (and sex is a part of it, yes).

Hmm...that may be true. But here is the crux: What I certainly don't like is when someone misinterprets my niceness with being weak. I don't expect others to return my favour, and I don't even...

I'm scared now.....

It's actually a sport term but then coined to social inapt guys who have difficulties getting a gf or sex.

Yeah, that's what I mean. if the moral code of an INFP is that people have to return his favour, then he can get really ugly. This is when that INFP guy fits the nice guy, creepy image.

Yeah, I see your point. And I did point out that not all INFP guys are like that. But I do think (and I could be wrong; that's why i started the discussion) that INFPs (and maybe other feeling types)...

Hmm.... sorry, if I didn't make myself understood then. If the defintion changed, then it wasn't deliberately changed. From my POV it's still the same. But please feel free to point out where I was...

But please only females. And only the young ones. He can listen and care, gently and respectfully only so much.

That's the kind of creepiness I'm talking about: His nice behaviour and forthcoming is just..... creepy. http://personalitycafe.com/infp-forum-idealists/911682-seeking-penpals.html

How does this contradict to what I said in the OP? ...sensitive, helping others....---> and then see themselves betrayed (she makes fun of him or mistaken him as weak; maybe favour not...

Somethng lke this yeah. INFPs are sensitive. They do lots of stuff for others. We have our own moral values. The combination makes INFP guys prone to be Nice Guys IMO.

Most of them are considered creepy by lots of women

With Nice Guys I mean: - those that finish last with women and/or - whine about their lack of success with women

Not the world but me resp. the way I think: Sometimes my INFP type is so annoying. You want to make the best decision and want to consider all sites and do all parties justice. But sometimes goal is...

After watching this video series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSctMnn2aWQ I think I'm an ISTJ. :/ ... it's like my type changes the more I dive into the function.

Yeah, people should see beauty in the seemingly ugly imperfect world and they'll have peace in mind.'
