'I apologize for the delayed response, but thank you for taking the time to share your experiences. It's helpful to hear that good boundaries come with time and not instantly. :) I'm so sorry to...
I think that is exactly what I needed to hear. Boundaries, neediness, etc. are exactly what I'm working on right now, as well as developing a healthy self-image. It's nice to know that having those...
Thank you for your input. Dealing with rejection, confrontation, etc. are definitely things that I'm thinking about right now. The thing is, I recognize that people can be very negative. I was raised...
For any of you INFP counselors, therapists, etc. - what challenges have you experienced in this field? I'm strongly considering counseling for a career, and would love input from fellow INFPs on your...
Yes, I do think I've found the right type. A logical INFP, perhaps, but an INFP nevertheless. For now, anyway. :D Thanks! :hugs:
Interesting. I got ENFP. Obviously it depends on the individual person, but I could see myself being more interested in an INFJ.
Yep! Same here. *sigh*
Your inbox is full again. :)
Hmm. Yeah, that would frustrate me too. I wonder if reframing it would help? Looking at it as a new challenge? Not as something that you *have* to do, but something that is worth the time and effort...
So sorry. I feel you - I've been in the same boat many times, and am on the hunt for a good job that fits with my personality, as well. Do you mind if I ask, what industry you're in?
Gosh, I struggle with this! Right now, actually. I'm thinking about a blog post I need to write, but apparently I'd much rather be doing this. :rolldeyes: What I have often found is that I need...
I would hate to have to make that choice, but I would definitely go with emotional fulfillment. I don't necessarily need someone as sensitive as me, but they would need to be somewhat sensitive...
Lol! Yes, that was my passive, indecisive side showing its head again. :D Thank you for taking the time to do that though. I really do feel more at home in the INFP forums, but as you can see, I...
Hmm. Well, I don't want to put you to too much work! ;) I like learning my job inside and out for career advancement purposes. And to stave off boredom. I do tend to think about efficiency,...
You're crazy. :laughing:
Lol! I see your mind is made up. :) Hmm. As I said, I notice details too. Can't help it - it's like a curse. I worked in a library for a while, and was once called evil because I found too many...
Wow. Classic INTJ response. ;) I actually have stopped taking the silly tests, as they weren't really getting me anywhere. But neither is researching the functions, unfortunately. I'm too...
P.S. - earthangel_yari - I tried to PM you, but apparently your inbox is full. :)
When I was very young, I was friendly, emotionally expressive, and thoughtful. I got in trouble from time to time, but overall was well-behaved. As an only child, and a homeschooler, I didn’t have a...
I posted this on the INFP thread...thought it might be helpful, for further clarification: The cognitive functions are where I get messed up. I think the problem for me is that I rely heavily on...
Hmm. Well, the cognitive functions are where I get messed up. I think the problem for me is that I rely heavily on Fi and Te both in making decisions. I can't tell what my inferior function is. I...
Oh, I forgot to ask...what is it like to be Si dominant? How, in your experience, does that seem to differ from Fi dominance?
Agreed. :) I understand that there is no perfect box for each type. In some ways, that's a comfort for me, as it gives me freedom to be myself. But on the other hand, uncertainty drives me up the...
Thank you for your reply! :) Well, as far as the details go, I do use them like you do - to try to reach perfection. The problem with that, for me, is that I have OCD. Nothing can ever be perfect...
I'm experiencing a lot of confusion about my type right now. On free online tests I've come up as several different types, most often either INFJ or ISTJ. Lol - big difference! On a type me thread...

[QUOTE=SiFan;30241618]Right up front, that's more an INFP view than an INFJ view. I'll mull over it a bit. http://ffextensionguru.com/gofirefox/th_happy.gif Cool. :) I'm starting to think I don't...
Thanks for the feedback. I guess what I'm feeling at this point is that I really tend to better fit the top 4 cognitive functions for INFP/ISTJ. I've read posts by users in both forums, and have a...
I'm 4-6-9 tritype, but unsure which one is dominant. I more often test as a 6w5, but have also tested as a 4. I think what puzzles me most about it is that which of the three is dominant depends on...
I'm so sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine what you must be going through right now. You must be hurting a lot, after giving so much of yourself, to have things end this way.
SiFan purpleviolet Well, I think we've just established that INFJs are a very opinionated type. :) Can we please keep this thread from turning into WWIII, though? :hugs:
E Interesting. Here's the thing though: I've never had the NI experience of knowing something, without being able to explain why. Not have I ever had the experience of directly feeling what...
SiFan Do you mind if I ask, what specifically would cause you to lean away from INFP?
I have to say...I still lean toward INFP. This site, for example: INFP vs INFJ: 5 Surprising Differences To Tell Them Apart
Lol! :)
Really great advice here! :)
I'm so proud of you for taking a different approach this time! And I'm glad to see that you got a little different response too. Regardless of what he says or does in the future, I'd say it looks...
Thoughts? I'm open to discussion! :)
Forgot a few things: Tend to come across as naive and childlike Hopeless romantic, but most people wouldn't know that Can't. Stop. Thinking. Obsessive. Emotional rollercoaster half the time...
To be honest, I think I'm pretty convinced now that I'm not an INFJ. Even though I've tested INFJ several times, I never really felt that I resonate with Ni. It seems foreign to me. And I've never...
I getting needing to have security in the choice. I tend to be independent-minded and, although sensitive and loyal, can't stand to not be included in decisions. Even if I go along with what the...
I can so totally relate. I'm 25, and until 2 years ago, felt like a complete outsider and had no friends. I ended up in therapy for OCD, and since then, have been slowly learning how to socialize. I...
Join the crowd! You are SO loved!!! <3
Single therapy for you maybe? Just a thought. I just know how much it has helped me. Another thought...would you be happy moving every few years if you two could switch back and forth as to who...
Keep the ideas coming folks! Let's make this a good resource thread for young INFPs. And the young at heart. ;)
Ah, okay. I live in the U.S., so I'm wondering if the required qualifications would be different for that type of work here. I'll look into it, though! :)
What exactly do you do? And where do you find those kinds of jobs?
Hear ya, girl. I don't know what to say about that. Have you considered couples' counseling at all? Do you think he would go for that?
Definitely, those positions appeal to me. I forgot to mention - I just started working as a paid childcare worker at my church. It has its stressful moments for sure - toddler tantrums + lack of...
Awesome! Twins!!! :D Do you mind if I ask, what your experience has been thus far? What jobs have/haven't worked for you?'
