Diplomats INFP

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

'I think...they say that 1% of the population is INFP, and like 10% of the population is gay, so...excuse me my mathematics are not very good..that must mean that one in one thousand are gay INFP?...

I'm the same I think, I am gay but it doesn't define who I am. I am first and foremost ME!

I am a gay woman and I have to say that I think that combined with being an INFP made my youth very difficult! I struggled to come to terms with being different from everybody else in different ways....

I actually look physically drained, my eyes go sunken and dark. I think the eyes really are the windows to the soul!

My relationship with an ESTJ: When it was going good, it was amazing. When it was going bad, it was hell on earth. We would joke that it was like putting a square peg in a round hole, but after a...

Thanks for all your comments :happy: I should add that I explained more details to DDC and he suggested that my partner wasn't ESFP but ESTJ. I've been reading up on this type and their...

Write it down, for nobody else but yourself.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious :crazy:

I have a lot of respect for Carl Jung but his fascination with astrology astounds me. (Taurus, for what it's worth...)

And particularly I don't think projection or narcissism are INFP traits, unless maybe in extreme circumstances when under major stress and confusion. In which case, you have to ask, how did you not...

I don't think it's an INFP trait at all. I always see the good in people and want to help them, and give them the benefit of the doubt, in this case making excuses for the way they behave. There...

Wow, thanks for the comments. Yes, I totally can believe they are using this one episode to regain some power and make me believe it is all my fault. Everything I said to try and fix the relationship...

I would say the most important one would be... Don't give a f**k about what anybody else thinks about you.

Hola all, just having a bad breakup and I'm a little ashamed to say I need a bit of moral support. Friends do what they can, and I am mostly fine on my mine own and I keep busy but I don't think...

I continue to discover who I am by pushing myself to try new things and new experiences; for example, different types of volunteering, becoming involved in work activities and committees and...

I'm down with that :)

Great question! 1) Monday mornings. 2) So, what have you been up to? (I go completely blank) 3) Are you shy? (it makes me blush) 4) Loud, screechy, drunk people 5) Liars & double...

I like this way of thinking :laughing:

Do any other INFPs do this...? Somebody will push me far enough for me to tell them that they have annoyed me, or done something to upset me. By the end of the argument I always seem to find...

Before I even read the previous answers, I was thinking, that I never get bored. I can find fun or intrigue in everything. I think that sometimes others can perceive this as being apathetic. Other...

Red wine and chocolate. Probably not the healthiest options, but still...

Sure, this is my journey from start to finish and everybody else just hops on and off. But if you believe that then how do you build meaningful relationships? (I will read the book and get back to...

I hate to be 'selfish' too, it is not in my nature, but I have a relationship with somebody right now where I am constantly having to say no, because it is wearing me down saying yes! Good for you...

Cleaning. Listening to the radio. Chilling with the cat. A good bike ride out to the sea or countryside. But most of all, I love a trip to the cinema on my own. Pure escapism :)

Vent: I used to think it was the Prozac that made me numb to the feelings of others. Now, ten years off that destructive, brain-hatchet, I realise that, quite simply, I cannot deal with the negative...

Thanks for all your answers. I personally don't think I could do an open relationship. Hell, I've never even had a threesome because I kind of subscribe to that attitude of I don't share... Not...

I am dating an ENFP who believes in 'open relationships' and yet they have said that they are happy to be monogamous with me if that is what I want... Their perspective is that sex is purely a...

People who judge me before they know me. People who say You're very shy aren't you / why are you so quiet. Recently, people who are friends with my ENFP girlfriend, who have just met me,...

If I'm drunk I will tell people all the things I've been afraid to tell them sober. That's a good thing, if it's nice stuff. But sometimes it can turn into an angry outburst, like a ball of fire that...

Damn, I'm so fickle.

This would absolutely melt my heart every time :)

I once loved a girl. I gave her my heart and my soul and as much time as money could buy. That is not enough, said the girl. If you loved me, you would give me your hands. My hands?, I...

I love you and most of the time when I'm with you I feel the king of the world. But sometimes you hurt my feelings really badly and I need to get away from you. I've never met anybody like you before...

It's a really interesting idea. We are taught that the norm for a partnership is to live together and sleep in one bed, but personally I love the idea of having separate rooms! I love falling asleep...

That's not cheesy. I want that too. But as part of my restaurant dream ;)

That's amazing. Such a great idea. A lot of my friends are in teaching, I imagine it would be really satisfying. I hope one day you will achieve that :happy:

No?! A quick google tho suggests it'll be on my itinerary next visit.... Don't mention Paul the Octopus, it makes me too sad :(

Not that they have a lot of octopus action, but still.

Hehe, I like the sound of that. I just got back from a trip to Berlin. I think you'd love it there!

I guess maybe I know how hard it can be for INFPs to share their close feelings, so I always like to say thanks!

My ultimate dream is to own a restaurant somewhere in Europe; France, Spain or Germany. Somewhere in a beautiful little town that was near mountains and lakes where I could escape for a while. I'd...

In 'the cave'.

Keep writing those thoughts/emotions down and you'll get there in the end! I've had massive writers' block for a while (I work in book publishing and think this may be the problem re: work versus...

I actually just remembered, I was at a picnic party yesterday and my friend was all the socialite but I didn't know anyone. Then this guy turned to me and said You're very quiet. I just said, well...

I am terrible for this too! Literally, as soon as I have been introduced to somebody I will forget their name! For me when I'm out in large groups, it's nice to be introduced to people and then...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjy3jWLz4Fk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A1xu0BSs2s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLb33LZX4dc Aha! But bloody Vevo :(

Argh I'm trying to post video but can't get it to work?! Hang on.

Nobody will ever love you like I do.

Most of all, if I could, I'd give myself a massive hug right now! Insight is a valuable thing :)'
