'This is just random stuff that I think about sometimes...not a real answer by any means.... It seems like this thread is talking mostly about using eugenics to solve problems related to people's...
This is slightly off topic, but I would like to see these terms reclaimed, if you will, from the negative connotations. Hitler persecuted communists, after all....And although in the US we like to...
The online tests usually peg me as depressed but not bipolar. This would be accurate in my case--I have been diagnosed with severe depression. I have also been diagnosed with ADHD, and I noticed...
When in doubt, look to Wikipedia. ^_^;; And according to Wikipedia, there are many possible factors contributing to someone being a rapist, such as: socioeconomic status, abuse during childhood,...
Just a thought: your profile says you live in Sweden. It's very dark there this time of year, right? People sometimes get depressed if they don't have enough exposure to light. You could try...
Well, we ARE introverts, after all.
This thread is proof that INFPs are awesome.
It's here: tinychat.com/percinfps Like Lad said, it's not very active these days. When I log onto it, it's usually around 8-10pm CST, and there are usually about 3 other people on. Of course,...
I must have been bad, too! One of my textbooks for next semester arrived in the mail; the stuff my mom got me from Amazon didn't. Oops!
I'm getting error messages when I try to write to people. :sad:
Funny, I always thought I was the only one who worries about bothering people. Anyway, my wall has plenty of room, and I like messages!
I suppose I am androgynous, but more because the concepts of masculinity and femininity don't make much sense to me. I very rarely feel feminine. I mean, is it inherently feminine to wear...
For better or worse, it's fairly normal for depression and anxiety to go away for months or years and then come back. But you do have lots of options for dealing with them. Among them are...
I am so rarely content with anything. I see so many possibilities that there is no way I could pursue them all. So I spend a lot of time brooding over what I've missed in the past, and what I could...
I am SO not interested in going to work. I just want to sit here in front of the computer and be a bum.
Luke Skywalker should be the ambassador for INFP.
How do you know you have the right person? I have thought I had the right person. I thought I found someone who wanted to be with me and who accepted all of my faults. And he even told me he...
Belovodia: related to what you said, I have read that it is very important for people who have ADHD to exercise in order to get more bloodflow to the brain.
I do enjoy seeing my family and exchanging gifts. I also enjoy Christmas Eve services (although I do enough questioning of religious doctrine for any 10 people). But nothing makes me crazy faster...
@Tranquility: I don't know if this will even come close to answering your question, but... I wonder if I have the gift of singleness and just had to get my heart broken a certain number of times...
I consider myself straight, but not so straight that I have never stared at a beautiful woman. I consider myself liberal, but not so liberal that I've never questioned my values. So, I think...
I definitely see how these two stances can come from the same values. Too bad more people can't see that.
I care too much, and I'm too sensitive. My life would be easier if other people didn't matter to me.
I tend to identify with cynical characters. I strongly identify with Gregory House. I identify with his sadness. There are times when he gets this expression on his face, and I think that I know...
I'm 30, and sooo glad to know some of you are in your late 20s. I couldn't tell by looking at ya. :wink: I was starting to worry that I might be the local granny....
What you say about praise and criticism makes a lot of sense, Lad. I have found that no matter what a person does, someone will think they did good and someone will think they did bad. And you're...
How wonderful your sensitivity is. More people should be like you.
Feeling totally depressed today. Had an appointment this morning that didn't go well. No one understands me or cares, and no one ever will.
I'll be your hibernation friend. I've already got the hibernation part down! :laughing:
While I haven't been alone all that long, I have discovered that being alone is a good way to avoid being hurt.
All right, I'll bite. Judge me, please. Be nice if possible. ^^;
What kind of ruler would you be--benevolent or self-serving? Or perhaps a mix of both? Why? What is one thing you would do to make the world better (as a benevolent ruler) or get what you want...
This female does not understand why males do the same thing. Explanation, please...?
I love talking about academic stuff! Surely there are more INFPs who are into this....
I love tattoos. I have a rose on my right foot and a cross with roses and vines on my right arm. And since they're small, I still have plenty of pure skin too. :)
I would like a shirt that says INFP on the front, and something from David Keirsey's description of the INFP on the back. Swan reared in a family of ducks has a nice ring to it.
Gosh, I'm having this problem, too. Anyone have any ideas?
I live in a suburb of Kansas City, MO. While I've managed to come across no less than 3 INFPs without much effort, I don't think I live in an INFP-friendly area overall. There are too many...
So...what do you do? Could you change careers? I know the system is what it is, but there are jobs where the main focus is something other than a bottom line.
The poor baby!...I'll send over some boxes when your mom's not watching. :wink:
(((((istayaway))))) I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my fiance in April. It is such a horrible thing to go through. And I have fought depression for almost 20 years, and that too is a...
Well, I've read that codependency is related to growing up in a dysfunctional family, and that 75 to 95 percent of us grew up in families that were at least mildly dysfunctional, so.... Anyway,...
Ownership might be part of human nature, but not to the extent that it is in modern capitalism. For 99% of human history, we wandered from place to place as hunter-gatherers. We owned stuff, sure,...
I have a Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier mix. When I'm feeling sad, she stays right by my side--so sweet. And on good days, she makes me laugh with her exuberance and bounciness. I've heard that these...
I confess that I wish my heart was harder.
I do think a lot of people wear masks, not just the INFPs. I find it very frustrating. And when I find some of the few people who are real, everyone else seems even more fake in comparison.
I'm a sucker for men with blue eyes....
Lunar Eclipse: I love that look that cats get...as though they're thinking, I think it's time to start some mischief.
I confess that I don't care if my paper sucks!
Two things in particular helped me. One is to dress well. It's not just to impress them. If YOU are impressed by what you see in the mirror, you'll feel more confident at the interview. The other...'
