'Follow your intuition, no matter how crazy it is. If you’ve “barely taken steps towards college,” then maybe that’s not what you really need right now. If you’ve been thinking of joining the army...
Personally, I don’t think you should ask him anything. Actions speak louder than words, and his not talking, sitting, waiting for you says volumes. If you ask, you’re going to get an answer you don’t...
I saw this thread when you first posted it. I've seen many people say they can be friends, but for the vast majority, the Hope is still there. In the beginning, the other admirer always says OK,...
Personally, I found nothing negative or discouraging with that thread of What Scares INFP Women. A lot of the criteria (clingy, arrogant, oversensitive, etc), if you're male, you also might not...
The longer you stay together, the more a break up will hurt her.
@telepariah: Your story was shocking - I always thought you were living the good life. Every time you talk about skiing, I can hear your passion & love for it, it's inspiring & makes me glad. And...
KaylanKonnor: Don't let fear of being too nice stop you from teaching, if that's what you still want to do. Classroom management is a skill that can be learned or evolved by setting up...
@MrINFJ, @Fool, @smallpeas, @fotomoose, @StElmosDreams, @Northwind, @eXecuteThis, & anyone who is still reading this thread: You’ve all been scammed. The OP’s ideas always rubbed me the wrong...
@Aquarian: Lady, you believe what you want. The so-called know-it-all energy bothers you? Why do you think that so-called energy came out? Go back and read the OP & all the following posts. ...
I will be direct & blunt. Warning: it’s a bitter red pill. The subject is very personal to me, so I don’t have the ability (or Time/Energy) to fluff it into a blue pill. Feel free to ignore – you may...
lifeisanillusion: Great freaking post!!! Thanks for sharing; couldn't have articulated it better - matches my own experience, almost to the dot. I'll expand later.
Try to refresh the thread page, and there's usually a restore auto save content at the bottom LEFT of the reply box? (Opposite of post quick reply.) - it worked for me, even after I went offline...
Honored to be mentioned, by I'm afraid I know next to nothing about enneagrams, MBTI (other than INFP), divorce, law, bi-polar, PTSD, or ADD. I do still have an initial opinion, but may I ask a few...
@Allskyblue: Let the posts stay. Don't take it personally; they're only talking about how life feels for themselves right now. They didn't criticize your life or anything you said. If you're happy...
I dream nearly every night; they're like movies - mostly dramas & thrillers. Others would consider them nightmares. I should write them all down & turn the best ones into stories, but I don't....
@fallingdown: I'm sure you didn't upset him - really! He answered all your questions without any hint of resentment, hurt, or frustration whatsoever. And even when he wrote that last post, there...
Along the lines of what @Infalliple said. When you don't want love & you're headed towards your own dream, that projects confidence, and a certain type of beauty & attractiveness. Especially in...
@BraveHeart: Before I read your post #17: Sorry for any late reply - it takes me awhile sometimes to Think things through for complicated issues, and I simultaneously get sunk into other...
@BraveHeart: I'm busy writing my reply right now. It might take a few hours, and it probably won't include your recent post (a brief scan right now, my reaction is holy crap). Well, now that I...
Don't worry, you're doing good! If girls want to spend time with you, that's a good sign you're basically doing nothing wrong. As turtleducks said, lots of long distance relationships don't last past...
Well, at least you're being honest here about your lying - that's a great first start, isn't it? If you feel sleeplessly bad about lying, then maybe your heart/body is telling you that lying isn't...
I don't get it. 2 dates in 6 years seems impossible. Maybe you've met quite a few men, but not been attracted to them for X reasons, so you never went out with them??? I don't think I've ever...
Not a smart move. I'll reply to this later.
@ Mimi-2 Original Reply to: lol okay, I'll try Thanks!! I can't really answer your question, since I'm relatively new here. Plus, I don't go out of my way to meet people, either here or in...
Could you please be more respectful? I'm asking politely. Don't mistake that for vulnerability, however. I can be an incredibly merciless asshole. You can't fault Icarus for not giving you...
I can't add anything to the other good posts about your ex. Anyway, I'd be more concerned with reducing the possibility of cheating in future relationships. I do believe we have some control over...
I think it's hard to really know what you'll Like or Be Good at until you actually try it. So going to school for something you haven't yet tried seems a very risky gamble. Personally, I used the...
Oh, I see what you're saying. I don't know about other INFPs, but shutting down was normal for me, because I personally need more space & time when I'm making huge life decisions. I take my life...
Your mom sounds toxic; she's the main source of your stress. Avoid toxic substances unless they're willing to metamorphosize into non-toxic - which in this case, would be a miracle. Very few people...
I don't think you should consider transferring before you've even started. I'm from CA, but I went to a small liberal arts college called Haverford (in PA), with about 1,200 students. So it...
For many women (at least after high school), looks aren't always the main priority - it's something else (or multiple other things) about you that's not attracting them. Qualities such as confidence,...
I don't read poetry or books, but when I first read this poem a long time ago, it was like seeing my soul reflected & encapsulated by a few words, particularly the italicized lines. Emily...
I've seen some of the other recent threads you posted. I've wanted to reply to a few, but I tend not to post unless I can contribute, be thorough, or I feel compelled to. It's the latter right now,...
Adamant: I wasn't following your exchange with Eos (too busy engaged w/ Missj), so I can't make a judgment about who's being more logical. (I find those classical logic laws a bit debatable, but...
meltedsorbet: Astrology = dolts isn't logical. It implies that astrology has no use value. What if a young person knew nothing about personality, and then started to read astrology......
@Adamant: Sorry! But if you know about Triple Point, then there's no point in asking. @MissJordan et al: #1. Point taken. Feelings & Intuition are valid (but they aren't always right,...
Adamant: Water can exist in all 3 states at the same time. It's called the Triple Point. Look it up.
MissJordan: Oh, I see - you believe the ultimate purpose of logic (the Reason it was invented) is to make sense, not to find out the Truth. No wonder conventional philosophy has the...
@ missjordan: If your purpose is Winning/Losing arguments, then statements not backed by reasoning will lose. This doesn't take away from their Truth value - which is Valuable, in and of itself....
@ missjordan: Human beings have imperfect knowledge. Our science to date, based on rationality/logic, can only have limited understanding, which is why Feelings or Intuition have their place. ...
You're welcome. Apologies for the directness - I try to stay Thinking-based, but I still get impassioned (in this case, when I think I see someone headed towards a danger zone). You got a high on...
Sounds like you're afraid you CAN'T control your feelings, and are afraid of falling for his jawline, stirring feeling, & sitting like a lovestruck moron. Face it, even if he works hard (he...
I hated this video. She posits her subjective experience as objective Truth. At first, she criticizes self-discovery... at the end she contradicts her-self: finding who you really are,...
I chose yes - I would become a vigilante vampire, targeting rapists, human traffickers, genocidal warlords/officers, oppressive dictators, etc. I may also consider extreme white collar criminals,...
You should still try to identify what is causing/triggering your stress. Otherwise, you're just dealing with the symptoms, and not the source. You'll just be on an endless cycle of: Stress ->...
Listen to Adverse. Also: 1) ...that freaked me out because I didn't know him that well... follow your instincts in the future. Nip it in the bud before you get a snowball effect like this...
You may get more responses if you include a personal side to your question. Most INFPs seem to respond better to the personal & emotional, rather than the theoretical & abstract. If you talked about...
I know very little about type, so I can't address those questions. There is usually a logic to Emotions, but they probably can't be understood by conventional methods of Reasoning. For...
I wish I knew the guy; he's the one that should be asking for perspective. I'd at least tell him, You shouldn't be telling her she's your daily motivation to be a better person, your...
Wish I could give you a pat on the shoulder. Do what you gotta do - not what someone else wants you to do, or what you think they want you to do. Don't just do what the new guy (or any guy) wants...'
