Diplomats INFP

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

'OMG my sister is such an ENFP! She just found out, and I can't believe I never shared the Meyers- Briggs thing with her (I thought I did... maybe she forgot, LOL) This explains why she was always...

I've heard that it's common for INFPs to be addicted to ESFPs. I wonder why this is...

We are a lot like cats, aren't we? (Which also means we're awesome) :kitteh:

Can't thank you enough for this. And I love your avatar! :)

When your hub is talking for a surprising length of time (for an ISTJ) on a serious subject (the budget), and you say I have such a craving for green beans. Mind if we stop at the grocery store on...

Ah! I get it now! (Takes me a while sometimes) Hehehehe! :crazy:

I think maybe I'm an xNFP... I agree to do stuff when I'm feeling extroverted, and then when it's time to prepare to go do the thing, I'm like Why did I ever decide to do this??? It's going to be a...

Yep!!!

Wow, this is so much like me/us. I'm glad he's in therapy, and I'm glad you have a good couples therapist. My ISTJ sort of feels like been there, done that about couples therapy and probably will...

Hang in there! :kitteh:

LOL - Yep, I get that :)

Hugs to all just because! :kitteh:

Feeling lonely, and at the same time want to go on a religious retreat (alone). Must be an INFP thing.

Aw, sorry.... I honestly don't remember. It happens often, unfortunately, so I can't remember the particular time. It was probably about something to do with school. We're both anxious about the kid....

Gosh, this sounds like me... except I'm too much of a doormat/people pleaser to be scary (LOL)

Yeah - I wondered that too.

MANY thanks for this. Very well said. I'm tempted to quote it elsewhere, and I will give credit. Who do I give credit to? Thanks -- an often-depressed person with depressed friends

...when you're kept awake at night by worst-case scenarios, usually involving people ...when you stay awake even later trying to figure out how to prevent these worst-case scenarios (and create...

Someone came up with a word for that???? You're right, that is TOTALLY AWESOME - or at least this INFP thinks so. :) Remember Rachel Carson's The Sense of Wonder?

Aw, thank you! I needed the boost and reassurance. You INFJ's really are awesome, you know. :-)

I can tell my hub is a very Atypical Gemini 3, because he's also INFP and a very steady, responsible person. But a surprising number of Gemini 3 things fit him. He's definitely the type of person...

As you can see, I haven't read very far in this thread, but I still have to say (ENFP-like) I'm really wowed by this post! I sound like an ENFP but I'm actually INFP... Gemini 2, though, with Pisces...

Aha! That makes sense. Thanks! :kitteh:

I was brewing up a little essay in praise of ISTJs, or at least my ISTJ husband, bc I've really been learning how to appreciate him through learning more about the MBTI types. A lot of his best...

Good point! Aw, hang in there! There's always this forum!! :) Another little question: Is my INFJ friend likely to get scared if I ask him too much about how he's feeling?

I have to vent just a little more..... My bestest friend in the whole wide wide world (LOL) is having a terrible time and now doesn't even want to talk to me. Meanwhile everyone else in my life is...

Thank you - that's awesome and a relief. It's complicated - we recently met in person, but his whole family was there, so the sort of meaningless banter was during the in-person time (except when he...

Can I ask a question again? One of my best friends (not an SO), the INFJ I've mentioned here before, seems to have stopped responding to my emails. I wonder if he's just had to put shields up...

Ugh... I need to stop being such an INFP on a mission... it's just the vent thread, Yam... And in real life my people are being extremely difficult right now, and I feel like Im screwing up....

Awesome!!! Best of luck!!!! :happy:

Hang in there... Trust me, I can relate... Something that helped me is just believing that there are far more possibilities than I can see. Good luck!! We're rooting for ya (edited to remove my...

Wow, I looked thru the 24 types and not sure I want to find out which one I am, LOL :crazy:

yep.

You have no idea how much I can relate, based on occurrences in the past. (I guess I'm not allowed to say...lol) HUG Hang in there.

I have something similar: For more than 2 decades, whenever I'm extremely anxious about something social or interpersonal, I get a vision in my head of wrecking something. Not doing violence to a...

And then when you're supposed to be studying about the meaning of life, you get this sudden idea about a scarf that you could knit with all your scrap yarn and start planning it... and then you start...

Good luck!!!!! :proud:

Ah. Yep, I hear you. It's a weird situation to be in. LOL - sometimes I try to meditate, and that's when I guess I'm supposed to be in the .... state, so therefore I can't. Grass is always...

You're very insightful. Having recently been at a funeral as part of the family of the deceased, I've noticed that the people who make me feel better are the ones who just show up, and, like you,...

That's not going to bug us! We're INFPs, remember? :wink:

LOL! Watch out for people that never get annoyed -- they're just smoldering and one day they'll erupt. Then everyone in their path better run or get carbonized. That's my experience anyway. I'm...

I hear ya. This thread ought to be somehow linked up with the Hug Thread. Anyway, *hug* - and that goes for anyone else with frustrations here.

OMG so exhausted. Did a lot this morning involving music performance and people and being on time and not forgetting stuff. All went well except I dropped a couple of things (nothing damaged tho). ...

I second that!! Monsieur Melancholy, I wish you were in the local Celtic band where I live. They'd be really glad to have you!!

Well, Hi! :) Forgive me if I'm obtuse, but... do I know you, or are you making a joke, like about yams, or was there someone before me called Yam and now I have that username? *confused* :confused: ...

mM, those are very true words. Have you ever thought of submitting poems like this as lyrics to possible new songs? I don't know what genre you like, but I can totally see this poem as lyrics to a...

P.S. Facebook makes all these worries worse. Therefore Facebook is the root of all evil. But I don't wanna leave -- then I'll never see pictures of friends and family! :crying:

Good point.

*sigh* Is it a typical INFP thing to be constantly focusing on my failures with people, rather than how wonderfully well I get along with most of my friends? And then to be anxious because my...

Found this on Facebook! (Facebook is good for something, then....) 81411 (except it wouldn't let me copy the url... well, little is better than none)'
