'Please forget about him. You should definitely save yourself for marriage... and if it's not something you believe in at least save yourself to be with someone who is going to treasure you (at least...

that must really hurt, i'm sorry it happened. it's weird that he would create so much distance between you but then continue to stare at you from afar. do you think you might have unintentionally...

Well, there is this one girl I know from Bible study who is very beautiful, powerful, very educated and intelligent and is super nice to me. The only thing I have in common with her is Star Wars.....

Oh boy, does this whole thing sound familiar. I had almost the exact same thing happen with this guy I'd been seeing about a month ago. He was super, duper friendly and attentive in the beginning,...

I will, thank you :) I want to stand my ground and let him know it's bothering me in a tactful way, without being whiny or desperate. So, I'm gonna wait a bit so I can get my thoughts together and be...

Hey guys! Well, I was seeing a lovely ENFJ dude for a few weeks about a month ago. We really got along, and it was the first genuine connection I'd felt with anyone since my best friend ditched me a...

Oh no, we were definitely heading in the direction of romantic involvement. We texted every day and cuddled/kissed on multiple occasions. But I see your point about controlling his behavior so as not...

I agree completely, and I think he knows this too, which is why he chose to withdraw from me in order to prevent the possibility of unintended emotional manipulation. That's why I intend to explain...

Pfff, this cracked me up. Thanks, man; I'm definitely withdrawing by texting him more sparsely and sporadically. My sister says he isn't worth my time, because [I] can't be friends with someone [I]...

Well guys, it's all good. I talked to him about it and he said he'd just been stressed lately. Thank you for the help!

Well guys, I'm honestly at a complete loss here, as he barely talks to me anymore and no longer eats with me after class like we used to. So, as much as it hurts, I'm thinking of just giving up on...

Wow, this sounds EXACTLY like what's happening with me and an ENFJ guy I like! We got really close really fast, and we both like each other, this other girl was suddenly all into him. He has no...

This is all super true. We hung out yesterday, and it WAS hard to resist the urge to cuddle/hold hands when we were together. However, he's a really cool person, and I don't think anything...

Yeah, I try not to text him as much; maybe send him a few anecdotes of funny things that happen during the day, random tidbits like that. He still replies, but not quickly/with a few words instead of...

Hey, guys! Well, I recently met a really great ENFJ dude, and we hit it off almost immediately. We share the same sarcastic humor, and constantly banter back and forth together. We both really seem...

... My INTJ friend actually thought the exact same thing O.o haha. I wonder if there's a correlation between Ni and un/misdiagnosed ADD? That would be fascinating to research...

Oh, wow, I'm sorry I replied to this so late! There's a bit of a family crisis going on all up in here -_- But YES. I think we all have a tendency to think badly of ourselves, especially INFPs seem...

That's actually exactly what's going on between us right now, so we put our friendship on hold to deal with our problems. I was crushed for a while, but I'm getting better with time. Thank you :)

No, yeah, I totally understand that her problems are important. And the bit about your personal experience with this same issue also shed some light on things. So, thanks :) It was also very...

I should watch that video hahaha. The curious ways of the INFJ intrigue me. When I'm not too lazy to get up and get my headphones XD Also, I totally agree with that last assertion. I'm really not...

Dude, I'm not convinced of that, either. So I don't want to be jumping the gun and writing her off, but at the same time I'm really not sure. Annoying is an understatement, but thanks :) I do...

Hey guys! Well, a lot's happened since I've been on here last. I've been having a family crisis, and started at a new school, among other things. But, I'm quite happy with my life as it is now. I...

Honestly, I have friends and family members who complain CONSTANTLY whenever they're even slightly uncomfortable. As that gets real old real fast, when I'm sick, I DON'T complain. I hate when others...

I totally understand where you're coming from. I've struggled with depression on and off since freshman year of college, and let me tell you, it's seriously hellish. As you probably already know....

I agree with this. I think it is largely learned behavior. I'm sorry you're having a hard time with this; it must be scary feeling like you can't control it adequately. I also agree with attic...

This. I seriously have the same problem; it's a bit scary at times! I realized I've been doing it ever since I was little to get away with stupid little kid stuff, and the abuse I was facing at home....

I'm also a prime member of the 'very manipulative' camp, as much as it pains me to admit. But that really has to do with an abusive childhood situation. I felt the need to lie to make myself feel...

This. Keep in mind we also have Fi, but it's tertiary. That's what a lot of the withdrawing to deal is about.[/QUOTE] Thanks, dude. I honestly think she'll be back eventually. As I've...

Yo guys, how's everyone been? It's almost Christmas, which I'm still trying to wrap my mind around. Well, as far as the former best friend situation goes, I've just been leaving her alone. I'm...

Oh god. Props to you! As a side-note, I've been saying that WAY too often lately... It always amazes me how other types sometimes accuse us of being overly-emotional, and then things like THIS...

Even dogs? I dunno man, dogs are pretty adorable. Haha.

It's interesting, because we're such emotional people. But from the few INFPs I know, they've all said that too! I guess when we need to get something important done to prevent a crisis, we just...

I think I should have worded the title better. My question wasn't about your actual fears, but rather, how INFPs react to fear in general. As I said, I tend to get very calm in scary situations, even...

This. Also, whenever anyone tries to scare me by jumping out from the shadows, or some silly thing, it's usually the same kind of reaction. My friend tried to do that to me recently, and I...

Oh wow, I haven't been on here for a while *facepalm* Sorry! I can now give my thoughts in full heh... Well, I think that definitely makes sense. Sometimes, I'm so lost in my head during social...

Hey guys! So, as an INFP, I've noticed that honestly, I'm not scared by much. Whenever I watch a horror film with my sister and best friend, it's REALLY rare for me to scream. I usually just jump...

Most of this seems to be pure speculation, rather than actual evidence. Or maybe you just know some REALLY different INFPs and ISFPs... As an INFP, I am FAR less sheltered and unrealistic...

Hey, guys! So, I came out about 2 years ago as gay. Realizing that was the most liberating thing I've ever experienced! I was filled with a new pride and confidence I'd never felt before. Although my...

Yeah, I think that's best for now :) I've been having a really good time abroad, so that's helped lots as well!

Honestly, I'm starting to think that too. I mean, I told her I was sorry for the death of her dog, and she ignored that. I know we've been out of contact for a while, and we both agreed that it would...

Yo, guys, I'm back! And in need of your opinions... Well, I've decided that only sending my former friend one postcard, backing off, and letting her do any initiating is the best course of action...

Guys omg sorry to butt into your conversation, but I, too, am a phan (heh) of Dan and Phil on tumblr! I came a bit late to the party (my former best friend introduced me to their greatness two years...

Interesting. A lot of the other INTJs said earlier that once a month contact would be fine. I think it's really more down to personal preference, to be honest. I already bought a lot (as in like...

Hey guys! Well, as you know, I sent my friend a postcard not too long ago, and that got me thinking... I know Morgoth said I should never, ever lose touch, but I suppose I'd like to know what...

Thank you, lilysocks :) I'll try that! Because I really don't mind it at all; this was just me freaking out late at night, and now I'm over it hahaha. Having loved ones out there, the Internet, my...

I always thought he was an INFP, but INFJ is really interesting too! What makes you say J instead of P?

This is just an advert. He's not talking about his personal feelings on the matter at all, just using the script given.

Hahaha it's okay! Sorry, my late-night self decided to get overly-emotional... I'm used to INTJ humor, too, so I dunno why I didn't catch on. Us INFPs get 70x more emotional at night, so watch out, I...

This. Thank you. I think my host mother thinks I'm unhappy. When, for the most part, I'm perfectly content doing my own thing. I definitely agree on the friendship thing, too :) I've meet an amazing...

This was accurate, though. So thank you. Romance/intimate friendships do seem pretty rare sometimes, which is sad, really.'
