So I realize I'm raising this thread from the dead but happened to find it and just wanted to share that I'm 2 months away from marrying an INTJ and I think we're awesome together! :D Since I'm such...

I think it would depend on the personality type of the person in need of comfort. For INFP's, or for me specifically, actions speak louder than words. If someone important to me says they hope I...

Hey guys! I'm editing my original post because it was way too long. I just basically want to know how INTJ's generally feel when someone they care about is hurting. Is it something they feel is out...

Well...updates are that Mon. and Tues. of this week, I messaged him first online...and then Wed. and Thurs. he IMed me first. There was one point that our conversation dropped cause I got busy with...

Haha, that made me laugh, thanks! I do believe he's interested, I'm just not sure how careful to tread with him being somewhat scarred from his past marriage. INFP's like to jump in when they're...

Yeah, definitely. He did ask the other night to hang out, so I know he wants to spend time one on one. It was just kinda late so I said I didn't feel like going out again. He wants us to play...

Hey so I took the advice and initiated talking with him online today while we were both at work and we talked for about 2 hours. I can't emphasize how much this is different from past...

Haha, I'm not so sure! I hate rejection...well, everyone does. I haven't done a lot of initiating because he's so hard to read. I messaged him while at work one day about how I had the makings for...

Hello there! I'm so well aware of how obnoxious it is that I use this site as a means to read the mind of mysterious men...but here I am anyway, a confused little INFP, trying to figure out the most...

So, ironically enough, the ENFJ I mentioned in my first post....yeah, ran into him tonight, after like 3 years! It was one of those shoot me now mixed with I can't believe it's him! moments. I...

To answer the original post...I LOVE ENFJ guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

I honestly rarely feel lonely. I love being alone due to my introvertedness. As far as longing for a future husband...sure, I have that, but it doesn't create loneliness in me...it's just something...

So I know two ESFJ dudes...one is always noticing the nice things I do for others and making mention of it. And one day, he randomly told me that I looked very pretty. The other guy compliments...

You know, I sometimes think I come to this forum just to feel a little more normal...and sure enough, always does the trick! Others think I'm morbid and pessimistic when I talk about the possibility...

So I stole this idea from the ENFJ thread while I was lusting over their personality type. I figured us INFP's have just as quirky status updates. :P My last one was from Saturday night: ...

1) Describe your parents in one word each. Dad - narcissist Mom - insecure 2) Choose one: - Family if I'm not married. If married, my husband comes first. 3) Which statement do you most...

I type people pretty quickly...I've been entirely ruined by this dang MBTI. I can't even appreciate a tv show anymore...I'm typing people always....always I tell you! :P So the way I do it is by...

Hugs to you, dear INFP! My best advice is to not try to rush the process...it simply takes time and there's no way around that. I think it's healthy to allow yourself to feel the sadness and slowly...

My initial reaction to your post was AGH! from my own personal frustration because you sound just like my guy INFP friend that won't ask me out...but this is about you, not me...haha. So, I would...

Oh what I wouldn't do to have an ENFJ be writing this about me. :) Dang, I'm so badly wanting to run into an ENFJ dude and have that magical chemistry that I wouldn't care if he proposed on the...

That's so funny you all say that. I like having cafeinne, esp. coffee and mtn dew, but it usually makes my anxiety worse. I've gone through on and off seasons with it and currently I'm off it. I...

I feel like INFP's + emotionally distressing childhood = depression/anxiety. I feel like we're prone to dwelling in the negative, so when we're surrounded by it from a young age, it becomes our norm...

It's hard to talk about religion and christianity in a group with people that have varied forms of belief. I personally believe in one God and have a relationship with Him that means everything to...

Hugs and kisses to you, Sam! I'm sorry you've been treated so badly. We're good people here at least...so vent away! We're all ears. :)

For me, pseudo dating involves high amounts of emotional attachment and doing things with each other as though you were dating, but you're not. With my ENFJ, we would stay up late talking on the...

I noticed you're listed as an ENFP..if that's true, it would explain some of the loneliness. Maybe you're not just craving a romantic relationship, but relationships in general. I actually love...

The little things keep me going...when I get all down and I think about what I would miss about this life...I think of listening to my favorite songs on the radio as I drive, the taste of chocolate...

This is what I would fear most if my friendship with my INFP guy became romantic. I would be the ESTJ, I've already seen it in myself in our friendship. I think that this doesn't always have to...

Thanks for all the great responses! I feel so refreshed when I converse with you all! I'd like to think we're the best mbti forum. :D I agree that there's not necessarily just one person out...

I have to agree with the post above...it seems like you could get hurt badly. I fell for an ENFJ once and it was amazing, nothing ever felt so natural...but the hurt of losing him was simply awful,...

Hello my dearest INFP buds! So I went on a date today with a possible ESTP and it was nightmareish. To recoop from the terrible experience, I wandered aimlessly around a Big Lots store, picking...

Understandable...I don't know what it is really, why I don't get back to people when they contact me...though I will say that it's a turn off to be repeatedly contacted before I've responded because...

So this INFP, I believe, was meant for a different era...one in which I'm not so easily accessible...think Sense and Sensibility. :P Does anyone else repeatedly ignore when the phone rings, not...

Thanks guys! I haven't told him yet but we've been talking a lot more...we have the funniest/interesting conversations...I'm sure you can only imagine, us both being INFP's. Last night we ranged...

Welp, not surprisingly, mine are quality time and physical touch. :) Physical touch needs to be affectionate though to really count. When it's purely sexual, it doesn't do much for me. And quality...

Been there, done that! It was by far the worst relationship I've had, ended badly too. BUT...by no means do I compare every other person with the same type to him. I have an INFJ female friend...

p.s. Welcome to the INFP forum!!! Everyone here is lovely...visit often! I hope you begin to feel at home here..we all, like you, love asking and answering questions..so never feel like you shouldn't...

Hm, I've definitely had moments of losing my temper quickly, but I try to not let it be the norm. I had sort of a rough childhood, so I don't know your story, but maybe your moments of anger are...

I would follow it up, if I were you, at some point by saying that you hope to marry your best friend. That way, she will know you're the type of person that considers close friendships as...

I'd probably seem confident, happy, friendly...not really sure how I'm perceived on here.... :P If you're really quiet, than I would compensate for it because I hate awkwardness. I've also...

Thanks! I feel entirely fortunate, like you said, to have him in my life. Guys like him don't come around every day. We were more or less talking about our future children in a separate sense, not...

LOL, you guys are awesome! This is why INFP's rock! :D To answer colysan, I realized I liked him when after others guys disappoint me, I always think of him and how he's always been consistent and...

Yeah, I definitely agree...our close friendship entirely changes the dynamics. There is a good chance that we'll never move anywhere if I don't come out and say something, because I've treated him...

Hey everyone! I've been friends with a male INFP for years now...I found out through someone else last year that he liked me. Naturally he never gave any hints away, or maybe I'm just blind. :P ...

Haha, who knows! And maybe I am assertive, I am a New Yorker after all...but it just all boiled down to the fact that I wanted to hear positive things from him, and not negative. Sure I have my...

Hahaha, you and him would make good friends I'm sure! I'm not even a pushy person, honestly...it was in relation to weeks earlier when in a restaurant I had asked for the bread before they brought it...

What I don't understand is how in a romantic relationship, you could entirely care about someone, possibly even unconditionally, and yet criticize them. That is foreign to a feeler...if I care about...

I really don't like name calling...I get very uncomfortable and defensive when someone is being called either of the terms mentioned. I've learned over the years that if there's garbage outside,...'
