Speculation on my part, but my guesstimates are as follows. Mom: ISTJ 2w1 Dad: ExTJ (ESTJ?) 3w2 Brother: ENTJ 8w7 Once I took the time to ponder their personality types, my childhood started...

For those of you who have focused on and honed a primary artistic medium (as opposed to someone who has dabbled in a variety of mediums without ever really focusing her/his attention on any one in...

Huh, that's an interesting perspective that I don't think I've considered before. I'm more familiar with the concept of a Thoughts -> Feelings -> Behaviour chain, where your feelings are seen as...

Spit or swallow? :crazy:

As someone else who feels like a square peg in a round world, I've been contemplating why square pegs exist at all. One thought that keeps coming back to me is that square pegs hold a special...

Hmmm, good point. Awareness of negative self talk sounds like a step in the right direction. Although on a few occasions, when I was more aware, I noticed that the thought itself didn't surface,...

@Touk @Raain Thank you for bumping this! To be honest, I was worried I might have left this thread to die after starting it (which I still might end up doing, mind you, but now I might at least keep...

Not I - no pets or plants here. It does make me wonder though...

Thank you for the reading. :happy: It doesn't quite sound right to me. The parts in blue seem off to me, based on my current self-awareness. Also, I haven't done any acting outside of...

I believe it's normal to over-analyse sudden events like losing your job. Unfortunately, I've never lost my job, so I can't relate to you there. :unsure: Exercise / physical activity To answer...

Rather than ask about social anxiety, depression, loneliness, or similar issues I see mentioned all too often on the INFP subforums, I'd like to discuss what I imagine to be one of the core causes of...

Hahahahaha! Nice find! :laughing:

INFPs: we're a FiNe SiTe! :crazy:

December 24th, please and thank you. :)

:laughing: And yeah, as a fellow (I)N(F)P whose parents are both SJs, working at a job where maybe 90% of my co-workers are SJs, I can relate to this...frustration. Unfortunately, I can't offer...

Sorry for the digression, but this seems relevant: :wink: 46420

I fear that I might never break my habit of procrastinating on my goals, of regularly thinking about them and never getting anything done I fear that I'll never be able to get anything done on my...

Oh sure, take two of my favourite genres, and mash 'em together with an interesting sounding transition and even relation between the two. :tongue: I'm not sure how well suited RPG Maker is to an...

Head: 5 > 6 > 7 Gut: 9 > 1 > 8 Heart: 2 > 4 > 3

You guys are awesome, but you already know that! ^^ On the subway ride home today, people probably thought I was crazy when I was reading this thread! :crazy: 39263 Look over there, free...

You know what goes well with milkshakes? 39121 *sneaks in and quietly sits down near the back of the theatre*

I recently stumbled upon this flash game called The Book of Living Magic, and thought some of you might enjoy it! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm heading to the nearest Temple of Gloop to check out a...

You are 55.6% Good. You are 2.6% Lawful. Alignment: Neutral Good Interesting, I thought I would have been more chaotic than lawful...

It's getting late and I work in the morning, but figured I'd give a quick reply. In a sense, I don't like phony optimism, but at the same time, I can't help but want to force myself to...

People have mentioned lots of my personal favourites, so I'll opt to mention one of my fave SNES titles, which was never released in North America: Terranigma <3 With music - like - this, how...

And rid me of my inner strife

Lol, thanks for reminding me to check! Yeah, it turns out there's a 10 day class offered free of charge somewhat nearby once or twice a month, assuming I make it on their waiting list - seems to...

Hehe, pretty sage advice: search inwards and transform myself before looking outwards at the world. :)

rheanne mimesis: Awww, now you two made me smile! :proud: Sorry, turns out I lied about replying to everyone. :blushed: Note to self: Don't chain yourself to commitments unnecessarily. ...

KindOfBlue06: You're welcome - glad to shed some light on the matter. :) Note to self: CBT might not be a viable alternative. :laughing:

Glad you enjoyed it! Makes me glad I shared it. :D I found quite a few useful posts on that blog, so I'd advise perusing it, if you haven't / aren't already. ;) chexiie: In terms of what...

Out of curiosity, are you apathetic and/or depressed at all as well, or just bored? I know I've experienced bouts of both - just plain boredom that won't go away (when I was out of school and...

Excellent, I found the reference I was looking for! :D Day-4 Syndrome: How to Stay Motivated When You’re Not Feelin’ It

Distracted and/or shifting interests? Personally, I've found that in the long run, I tend to have more or less the same collection of hobbies and interests, but that one will be my primary focus...

Yes, I've tried hypnosis both in my mid-teens, as well as a couple months ago (I'm going on 25 this year). Contrary to pop culture, hypnosis doesn't just allow someone else to blindly plant...

The latest post on Charisma Arts captures some of the essence of what I'm looking for in a genuine conversation.

I'm pretty sure it has to do with being bullied and, to an extent, ostracised as a child, starting in grades 1-2, and then primarily in grades 6-7. Back in middle school, I was the quintessential...

Thank you for bringing that up, because I'm not sure what it might look like. I quite like the encounter in Dostoevsky's White Nights, however fantastical, romantic, and seemingly unlikely to...

Thanks for sharing. :) This almost brought me to tears.

Here are a few quick responses before I call it a night. I don't feel bad that I don't fit in, it just is. What I feel annoyed, a bit frustrated, and envious about are the people who do the...

Figured I'd also post this here, partly to expose this to fresh sets of eyes, and partly because this subforum is so active. I'm wondering if anyone here relates to this at all. EDIT: I...

I'm annoyed that the quiz linked in the OP doesn't currently currently work, even if it is three years old. When I submit, it takes me to a blank page. There goes 10 mins of my life...:angry: ...

Hahaha, great timing then, and thanks for sharing! I don't believe in coincidence. :) I'm equally guilty of dreaming rather than doing. I guess for starters, I'll drag my ass downstairs and...

Fair enough. :) Any examples of Te-inferior villains or characters you can think of for comparison purposes? I am kinda curious how long we can keep up the Te-inferior charade though. From my...

How can you tell whether a character is an INFP who had their alternate personality triggered, acting and/or becoming an xSTJ under the influence of our inferior Te, rather than a proper xSTJ (who...

Sorry for the following tangent, but it gave me a random flash of insight. You know how some people say or paraphrase You either do or you don't - there is no 'try'.? For INFPs, I believe...

Maybe check out INFP blog, and see if any of the posts resonate with you. Reading INFP blog helped clue me in to my missing sensory type when I got as far as IxFP for my MBTI type, because I relate...'
