'Love is glorious and terrifying. It is the strongest thing you can feel. When you love, you are at your most intimate. But love is fragile. It needs a careful hand, or it will fade and break. If you...
I play three computer games. I like games in which I only have to kill things if I feel like it (Which is rare.) and that I have a lot of freedom to move about and bend the world to my will. I...
I think true intimacy is possible. It just takes a lot of growth, a lot of courage, and a dash of luck. Now, is it is possible for me? I don't know. I have my fair share of issues, and although I...
When I'm with him. . . I was a very unhappy child, so definitely not that.
Yes, I think that perhaps I wasn't reading the signals that he was giving me about his feelings. But, I realize now that he does care about me, and my feelings, just that I don't quite know how to...
Listener Now, this I understand. I certainly feel that other people see relationships through a different light than I do. But then I wonder: Are they right or am I? Am I just viewing things through...
I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you are trying to say. I think it is impossible to be an INFP without self doubt. Relationships become harder, just due to our type. Are you trying to say...
The books aren't even worth it for me if I don't develop a crush on one of the characters! I always do, though, so no worries there.
Lol, I'm not quite ready to give up on people fully. I'm going to find someone perfect for me, maybe the perfect person just isn't this person. Although, I am very, very attached to my soft...
Oh, no! It isn't your fault at all. I was sad when I made this thread, and I'm really happy to be getting support. It really helps to know that other people have gone through this, too. That I'm not...
Why are you ignoring me? Are you ignoring me? Do you care at all what I feel? I had thought that you weren't as cold as you sometimes seemed, but perhaps I was wrong. I had thought you would never...
Yes, that is exactly what I feel. So the relationship ended? Well, nothing seems to be boding well for my relationship. I suppose all the wishful thinking in the world isn't going to save me from...
Yes, you are probably right. He doesn't want something as serious as I do, and I'm kind of just hurting myself trying to make him be more emotional than he is. Maybe I should just give up on him? It...
I love to sleep. I completely adore my dreams. It is the one time I can just let go, and no one will look down upon me for being unrealistic. I don't have to worry about what people will think or if...
I do agree that these things happen naturally with the right person, but I feel as though we could really have something. That this could just be a speed bump in the road to happiness and to love. ...
This is exactly how I feel. I say something that is really important to me, and he reacts by making a joke. And it hurts me so much, because I am trying to be open with him. His joking makes me feel...
I am sooo open with him. I just want him to be open with me. Because I've been more open with him than I've ever been with anyone before. I certainly don't want to trick him. I want to have an open...
I would like to use a dating site, but it seems kind of scary and strange. I wouldn't know what to do with myself.
Dear 9w8 Oh, I'm sure about the 5w4. I have many, many, many five qualities. I read the nine description, and it really didn't fit me. But thank you for the suggestion. I'm very set on my 5w4. It...
I'm currently in a relationship with someone who keeps his feelings fairly close to his chest. Which is okay, usually I do too. But in this particular situation I feel very empty. If he cared about...
I know I am INXX. But the rest is difficult. I am constantly questioning it, even though I get strong scores in ever category for INFP in tests.
Dear part of myself that thinks she may be an INTJ/INFJ/INTP. You are none of these things. You will never be any of these things. Just because an INXX writes something that could have been...
Need some love.
I'm with randomcouchpotato on this one. I was certainly the tortured soul in high school. Of course, I was also very busy trying to be an ENFP, which made me seem less tortured, but actually made me...
I would love to be completely silent. But it would bother the people around me, so I suppose I'll never get the chance.
No, I'm not afraid of death at all. I don't know what happens in the afterlife, or if we are just gone, but not knowing doesn't scare me. I hope to not be raped and murdered, sure. The actual death...
It makes me happy. Lol. And I'm kind of a newbie. But I like feeling normal, if only for a little while.
I want the love that is in my head; The perfect love. But I don't mean that the person has to be perfect. Far from it. Many of the qualities that I look for in my true love are not considered...
I'm currently in a relationship with someone who doesn't understand the amount of space I need. I avoid him sometimes and we recently had a break. I don't want to break up with him, and like him a...
The wise accept reality without being resigned to it.
When I am happy, I can't imagine what it was like to be sad. When I am sad, I can't believe I'll ever be happy. I don't think I'm more unhappy than other people, just more entrenched in that...
If you were over her, then it would be okay to keep her as a friend. But you're not over her. So if you want to get over her, then you would be doing yourself a favor by blocking her.
Oh, me too. I have seen him, and he seems happy while I am here dying a little bit inside. I feel like an awful person for saying this, and I would never wish him pain, but his happiness makes my...
I can't offer you advice, but I can say that I feel very similarly. I think INFPs hold love and relationships very highly, and when they don't work after we have put so much of ourselves into them,...
Results Your Moralising Quotient is: 0.21. Your Interference Factor is: 0.00. Your Universalising Factor is: 0.00. Well, that was icky.
I completely agree with everything that is said here. A month is nothing to lose and everything to gain.
I would ask someone on a group date instead of a one one one because I would be afraid that I wouldn't be able to make enough conversation, and a group takes the pressure off of me.
Oh, there are too many scary people on the internet for that. Plus, I like my anonymity. It is like a warm blanket for my identity.
Oh, it makes me sad. The one in our community went under and I cried. (Just a little bit. I have some great childhood memories at that bookstore.)
A double major in Finance and Accounting. Then on to law school.
I have eight, which is normal for me.
Hello! Why'd you choose to come to PerC? We're both the same Enneagram type! I'm the first female on this thread!
The first three drinks make me such a flirt. Then four comes and pushes me over the edge on to Why doesn't anyone l-love m-me? *sob*. It gets even less pretty after that.
I'm a little bit late at being new. . . lol. I was intending to, but then I got distracted by looking at my cat's eyes. Which I think might be quite typical.
Oh, me! Me! I love that feeling when you barely know a person and you think you're attracted to them, but you really aren't sure yet. You imagine what it must be like to talk to them, wonder if...
I was awful at it, and it bored me.
I have this same question. I get typed as INFP, but I think I may be INFJ. I am not afraid of conflict, unlike the INFP profile. I am decisive, unlike the INFP profile. I am disorganized, unlike...
When you make decisions, do you regularly take into consideration other people's feelings? It doesn't need to be in a kind way, just that when you do something, if you think I wonder how this will...
Oh, I've got like half of these and I only think I'm pathetic once a month or so. (Although, at this point I've narrowed it down to three stuffed animals...and one of them is me sized.)
I sometimes feel like this too. I almost always test INFP, and every letter on its own seems to fit, but. . . When I look at the individual functions, I get Si Ne (or Ni) Ti Fi. Which I know isn't...'
