'My friend who is a girl had to leave early and I said I'd find a way home. I put up a facade all day at work and I just want to be myself at the end of the day. God forbid someone show true emotions....
I feel like I got too personal on here. Just wondering if any other INFP had any helpful tips for dealing with criticism and rejection.
Are you suggesting I scream in the presence of loved ones and friends?
I keep finding myself back in this thread. I'm stuck inside myself. I feel disconnected and unable to interract with people on a personal basis. I can still work. It's just an act. But I'm afraid of...
I haz two cats. They help a bit.
I feel like I can't hold it in anymore. Everywhere I go the past ten days or so there are reminders of Mother's Day. I understand the purpose of the day and what it means to the majority of people....
I've learned I can't make my mind shut up. I can distract it from unpleasant topics, but that's about it. Better to think too much than to think too little :wink:
I actually tend to be very good at speaking on the phone, but then again I have to be. 85% of my work is spent on the phone with various companies, customers, employees...I am soooooo lucky to be...
Often times, an INFPs trust is earned slowly over time. However, seeing as this is your father I'm going to assume you've spent years together so it must be something else. Perhaps he isn't ready for...
I would suggest starting small. If someone asks you which restaurant you'd like to go to make a definitive decision instead of saying I don't know or Why don't you decide. Build up to bigger,...
It's a week away now. Another one of those days that's always hard for me to get through, no matter how many years have gone by. I doubt anyone other than my husband will say anything to me about it,...
Impressive.
...I'm not sure how I feel about this
I think this is the best thing I've read on here all night :laughing:
I'm biased...my best friend of 12 years is an INTP
I'm happy because it's been warm and sunny all week, and I'm going to the beach this weekend. It's one of my happy places haha.
Being in love has always made me daydream more than normal, and less seems to bother me. Also, I'm not a touchy-huggy kind of person in general, but I've always craved/felt comforted by being...
I struggled with assertiveness until I hit adulthood...then I learned that no one will respect me if I act like a doormat. I still hate conflict, but I hate being disrespected or being treated poorly...
I believe you are right about wanting to feel included. I feel connected to my fellow INFPs so I made myself a bit more vulnerable. Just one baby step at a time. Everyday I feel I'm getting more and...
I have never heard of her, but then again the only models I am fairly familiar with are some of the Victoria's Secret Angels :blushed:
I'm confused (which isn't a rarity for me). As I've gotten older I realize I've grown more calloused towards the world and most people in it. This kind of freaks me out a little bit, and I don't know...
I chronicle my dreams fairly regularly. Usually, when I see them written down I am able to see what my subconscious seems to want me to know. I don't believe all dreams are profound, but even the way...
Hugs all around!!! And I know this isn't a picture or gif of hugging but damn it, it's cute! 113938
This one is more of a personal one for me, but trying to make a decision with another INFP. We aren't known for our decisiveness, so when questions such as what do you want for dinner? or what do...
This doesn't sound like a type issue. This sounds like an emotionally abusive relationship. You should never feel scared of your partner. That isn't normal. And it also isn't normal for him to react...
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
I've always been curious about this as well. I've never had the desire to have children, but I wondered if it would/will change as I get older.
I love physical affection...but only from specific people I love and trust. So, not very many people. I can't stand when I'm just meeting someone and I go to shake hands but then they hug me. I'm...
I'm interested in joining, but I'm not really sure how these things work. Would someone please do me the kindness of explaining :blushed:
I know I'm pretty new here, but I could really use a hug :sad:
Tonight I've been wondering about the afterlife. Not so much as what happens when we die but wondering if we get to see the loved ones that have already passed on when we die. I want to believe...
I dislike negativity and cruelty. I don't think I could stand idly by and let someone speak in an unnecessarily harsh or mean tone with someone I love...hell, I probably would step in even if I...
No I was not. My goal was to stay under the radar, get good grades, and get out of there everyday. I acheived those goals with flying colors.
I think my jawline is fairly strong, but I do have large, round eyes. 112538 112546
I'm bored and slightly frustrated.
I call my INTP best friend 'Asshat'...amongst other things. All in love though.
Son, I'm going to teach you how to drink too much, sleep with a multitude of women, and not give a f-k while making an obscene amount of money. - What I imagine Don Draper telling his son.
I feel the same...but in a sexual way :tongue: He is my celebrity crush.
You second guess even the smallest of decisions. Oh dear god, do I want puffy cheetos or crunchy cheetos!?!?!
111914 - Eric Cartman. Sorry guys...it's one of those random nights.
111898 111906 I feel like I just killed the mystery a bit :unsure:
Be happy that they are good dreams. It gives you something nice to look forward to in the evening :happy:
I experience this on a fairly regular basis. Do your dreams tend to be good, bad, or neutral?
There was only one time when I was a young teenager that I didn't pursue someone I liked, not because of insecurity, but more because I had no idea what the hell I was doing. Other than that,...
I find guys with long hair incredibly sexy. It's my Achilles' heel.
111738Not sure about 'seductive'. Piercing seems a bit more accurate.
If I'm not intimidating then why am I approached so rarely by new people? I think I somewhat subconsciously put out that vibe as a defense mechanism. Yay for self sabotage!
I suppose I'm looking for something that is inbetween the closeness levels you described. Not too surface, not too deep.
It isn't a bad thing. I haven't met an INFP that I didn't get along with.'
