I wish people knew that under my calm, quiet, smiling exterior is an active storm of racing thoughts and feelings. I wish people would empathize with the difficulties of living daily with ADD, PTSD,...
Even though I don't draw often, I love to do it. This is a sample of something I recently drew. 55247
I think it depends on the person and the love language you are using. For some, frequently communicating love and support is something they desperately want and need in a relationship. For others,...
I apologize if I repeat anything someone else said. There were too many responses to sort through. 1) Smiling and extra eye-contact OR avoiding eye contact and looking away nervously. 2) Being very...
I do agree that different people like different things, but that's not helpful at all. Here are some suggestions given typical INFP likes and dislikes. 1) The zoo or aquarium. INFPs usually LOVE...
1) Teletransportation - the ability to transport myself and anything I touch anywhere I want in the world in a matter of seconds. 2) Omnilingual - the ability to understand, speak, and write all...
I can do a backwards walkover (which is like a flip with hands) from my knees :proud:
I've been poked fun of for smiling and laughing at internal stimuli. I'll think of something and a random string of thoughts will come after it leading to something funny. I have a broad sense of...
This rarely happens to me because I don't start stuff. What I would do about it depends on who they are. If it is someone who means a lot to me or that I have to deal with on a regular basis, I would...
I am glad you felt comfortable enough to post this in this thread. Being in a relationship with someone who is suffering from untreated mental illness is difficult, especially when that person...
My dad is an ESTP. My mom is an ISFP. My step-mom (who has been more of a mother to me is a INFJ). I can see a mix of these resulting in a INFP.
I tend to agree with this. It takes two people for a relationship to fail (with a few exceptions, like abuse). I don't know why but I actually like personal growth, EVEN if it's difficult. I've been...
Like I said, I can see both sides of the coin. I've been the relationship and have thought, What the f*** was I thinking! This person drives me crazy, will never meet my needs, and I want...
I guess you're right: there is a bit of stereotyping in MBTI. I like how you say to use it to solve, not justify, the problems you have in a relationship. What's strange is I tend to be attracted to...
I would agree with this. My husband took on the role of carer/provider in the relationship, even though we're only 4 years apart. When we dated, I had raging ADHD, was still dealing with my issues...
Maybe it's because I'm still learning about MBTI but how would this create issues? I can vouch for this. Both of us have gotten better at communicating (especially him) :wink: I would say...
1) Yes, this topic has been discussed MANY times. I'm sorry if you're annoyed to see it again, but you're the one that clicked on it. 2) I have read almost every thread on ISTJ + INFP...

I have a few Christian friends who have espoused Calvinism. While it is considered Christian doctrine, I do have some issues with the 5 tenants and how it aligns with the Christian faith I...
I often have close family like my parents and in-laws call me Sweetie. I would be REALLY awkward if I used it on them though. My husband and I often call each other Love, Lovey, or Lover. We rarely...
I went to this website and took a compatibility test with my husband. Jung Compatibility Test These were our results: Jung Compatibility Test Results
I am the one who has lived a very difficult life yet no matter how good things are, I always feel like they could be better. I am the one who finds putting on a face absolutely exhausting, so...

I had an ENFJ friend a while back. We were both very competitive and sensitive making it a very love-hate relationship. Sometimes the competition between us strengthened our relationship. Sometimes...
Sometimes attraction and connection come instantly and sometimes it develops over time. I have found that what I find attractive has changed with time and maturity. I believe there needs to be some...
You're so complacent and content. Nothing stresses you out!
I love and accept you for who you are. I feel very close and connected with you. You have a beautiful singing voice. I can empathize with your struggles and hurt. Sit close to me so I can hold...
I voted physical touch but quality time is just as important. The reason I chose physical touch over quality time is that I don't feel like it's quality time if there is no touching is involved....

I'm glad you appreciated my honesty. I was worried about being too blunt - that's my ISTJ husband rubbing off on me :tongue:. It sucks that you have to go through this, and I agree - her behavior is...
I'm going to go outside of my sensitive INFP and bluntly say two words - emotional tampon. The term is gross but it's used to describe a guy that is being used to meet a woman's emotional needs...
It's interesting you posted this. I'm a teacher and I took a 3-hour professional development class at an elementary school I used to attend. The class was held in the art room, I began to recall some...
I can almost guarantee that 95% of people who have been diagnosed with ADHD have a XNXP personality. The brain chemistry associated with ADHD produces symptoms that are highly connected to intuitive...

INFP's want to be accepted and loved for who they are. Judgment and rejection feels like an attack on our character (who we really are deep inside). Criticizing an INFP is useless. Although we tend...
When you call your husband and you can tell (just by the tone of his voice) that he's out buying you flowers (even though he never hinted at it nor was it a special occasion). True story.
My husband is an ISTJ and he's very good with money. Since we are DINKS (Double Income No Kids), we tend to spend more freely than other couples who make less and/or have children. The fact that we...
Oh no! Conflict?!?! LOL ENFJ's. You get so critical when people's opinion is different from your own. Then you get way too oversensitive about it (especially if it is with a significant other) and...

As I reflect on what you wrote, I realized that this is a better explanation for wanting/needing direct communication when dealing with emotions. Trying to read between the lines is 1) A skill that...
Better Than I Know Myself by Adam Lambert
Welcome fellow INFP :) I can relate to feeling weird :P
I can only speak from my own experience and make generalizations, but I think both things have some validity... 1) I think one of the reasons ISTJ relationships feel one-sided is because of love...
Could I have my name changed to RubyFiligree? I don't want my posts to be associated with username.
I understand how you would think and feel that way. I do want to clarify that I did NOT pursue an online emotional affair. It started out as a friendship and got out of hand. I did not seek out a...
From what I read, I believe the original question implies loving someone in a more-than-just-friends way given that you have/had some sort of relationship with the person (I don't believe in...
