Diplomats INFP

Poetic, kind and altruistic people, always eager to help a good cause.

'I sound like the male version of you. I test positive for Aspergers online but I have my doubts. I feel I can read facial expressions and am empathetic (selectively). I'm definitely Sagittarius...

Why do you waste time on the INFP board if you're an ENFP? You secretly wish you don't need human socialization as much as you do? You're envious that INFP's enjoy quiet solitude while the restless...

Sorry, I thought you were the OP with all the problems. If you're happy with your INTJ, then great. Any type can be happy together. For me, I know an INTJ wouldn't and didn't work.

I'm not telling you to dump your boyfriend based on type. You started the thread about your problems and unhappiness with him. Your problems are deep and fundamental personality differences. You...

Why try so hard to make it work? When a relationship is right, it flows naturally and it doesn't feel like work. Do some research. The INFP/INTJ pairing is one of the most unsatisfying...

Do you really want someone who feels obligated to give you the time and affection you want? I think you should find a guy who really wants to be with you, wants to hold you, touch you, do things...

They're not married, are having fundamental problems, their personalities aren't really compatible. I see no reason to keep banging your head against the wall. Both would be better off with someone...

The INTJ might come around with counseling to show he's affectionate but it won't come naturally or easily. It will come because he's required to do so to stay in the relationship. Affection and...

I'm a loner and prefer it that way. I have a girlfriend and my family and that's it. That's the way I want it. My experience with friends hasn't been that rewarding. Jealousy, competition and...

I dated an INTJ for a few months and she was emotionally cold and rather unconcerned with romance and affection. I really cared for her and we shared many great times. In the end, I just couldn't...

Only those who believe in God can be moral or have a purpose? LOL

An unexplained encounter isn't necessarily divine. It's simply unexplained.

Is your God a Christian God, a Muslim God or some other type of God?

You don't know for sure that God exists. You have an internal discussion with a person you think is God but it might be nobody. You might be just talking to yourself.

A lot of God in here. How do you know for sure God has done all the things you claim?

Why don't you think it will be that bad? What if you're wrong and it is?

Those countries use the Euro and only the European Central Bank can print the Euro. The ECB is printing Euros and buying the debt of these countries but they want promises to cut the deficits. ...

Printing money dilutes everyone but it can and has delayed the end game. However collapse delayed only means worse collapse later. I would highly advise everyone to spend their dollars on land,...

I think you and your husband should get a divorce. A fresh start would do both of you good. I doubt your husband will ever trust you again and I doubt you'll get over your feelings of disrespect...

The global Governments will keep printing money out of thin air to avoid a debt collapse. There can never be a shortage of money in a paper based system. Governments can print to infinity. ...

I find the website SurvivalBlog.com to be helpful as well as Mother Earth News and Backwoods Home. Our days of consumerism, debt-based wealth, global trade (vegetables from the southern...

Yes it is about survival and it's something I've been studying and taking seriously for a number of years. I'm quite well prepared and have no desire nor need for communal living. Your judgments...

I could really care less what you do. I have no interest in communal living. I want to live on my terms not according to the norms and expectations of a group. Group think and behavior are...

I'm happy with romantic love. I don't want the commitment that goes with consummate love. The commitment causes choice to morph into obligation. Once I'm legally and financially obligated to...

Why are you so defensive about my question. Lots of communes do practice casual sex. If everyone agrees, I don't see a problem with it. Maybe you find it offensive but many do not. I find the...

How do you find a commune who will let you in?

Consuming less is of course helpful but I think we should all go further. Consuming less is like harming less. It's still a little harmful and not helpful. We should give back to the earth. ...

Were you in a free sex commune like the Bhagwhan Shree Rajneesh in Oregon?

I'm pretty certain that global economic collapse will occur in the next few years. Money printing has delayed the inevitable but only makes the endgame that much worse. It's time to get...

If you really want this guy to commit to dating you, you should back off and pretend you're losing interest. Let him come to you. I think pressure will be counter-productive.

I have many ideas and concepts which I enjoy pondering. My INFJ girlfriend thinks my enthusiasm for an idea means that is a plan or a decision but for me it was just an idea to be further explored...

I'm dating an INFJ now and while she likes my idealistic fantasies I think she's getting frustrated that they never convert to action.

I was similar to you as I'm a CPA and worked at Price Waterhouse and then as a financial executive in corporations. I was successful, the money was great but I hated the work. I eventually burned...

You're too young to be in a serious committed relationship. You're going to have lots of experiences. Don't get serious about anyone until your mid 20's at the earliest.

Sorry Bro. Just telling it like it is. You made the choice to end the relationship so now you have to accept she will be intimate with other people. Move on.

If you want her back, tell her. If not, let her go and move on. If you don't want her back, why do you care what she's doing? Yes, she'll be having wild sex with someone else. That's how it goes....

Type does matter. Do you want interesting conversations? Do you want affection and romance? Do you want someone who understand your need for time alone? These are major areas of a relationship. ...

I'm a CPA but hated it. I do nothing now :)

Good point. Probably nobody.

This would be like Bill Clinton and Princess Di. LOL

Sad that you never understood and appreciated your father's humility, insight and special talents as a person and are instead drawn toward the arrogant bluster of the ENTJ.

I recommend you light up a joint, crack a beer, turn on some music and chill out. We all have problems. Sometimes you need to forget about them and just live.

I feel the same. I wish I were different in this regard but I must embrace who I am. I'm happiest living alone.

Awesome collection. Would love to see your library.

So Bromide, how have you dealt with this in your relationships? Are you in a relationship now?

I'll never be satisfied with the kind of relationship you describe. Fighting to stay together sometimes isn't worth the effort. I want romance not a roommate.

I've had many relationships and can't blame the other person for my feelings of stress. I have a hard time maintaining a day to day cohabitation situation. Coordinating every aspect of my life with...

Being in a relationship is tiresome for me. Finding someone is not a priority for me.

It's not any one thing such as sleeping. It's everything like coordinating meals, negotiating over furniture, deciding which movie to watch, etc. I find it all rather stressful. I'd prefer to make...

Does anyone else find cohabitation difficult? Relationships seem to progress where living together becomes expected and that's where I find it very hard. I like living alone and having my own home...'
