'I don't plan on having a preacher at my wedding. I plan on having a very good friend serve as an officiator. And I used to be against marriage too. But I realized there was much more about it than...

I have another question for y'all. Actually, I want your opinions about one of the questions above about who to invite. I really really really want a small wedding. And I don't want to invite...

At this point, it's less about typology, and more about whether you two should be together. And if so, why and how.

I also get turned on watching/hearing other people do stuff. Even more when there is the possibility for others to hear/see us... :wink:

I like talking dirty...a lot.

I would go back to rowingineden's comment about both of you taking the other as you are. The other thing I would do if I were you is to taking a good look inward and ask what you're willing to...

I get jealous too, but it only happens when I actually care about the guy I'm dating. I've gotten jealous in my current relationship, especially when he goes out dancing. I hate dancing and he...

I have had to deal with parents like this my entire life. So here's my advice to you. It looks like the main problem is that you're not getting the right responses. It is necessary to stand up...

The best thing to do is to move on. No need to apologize or to explain yourself; that would only fan the flames. When you're in school, mistakes like that seem to pass by slowly. But trust me,...

WOWZERS, why do I keep forgetting how well chicken broth works?! :crazy:

Hrmmm indeed. Yep, we're gonna move no matter what...in 10 months. Let me expand a little on this job I have. I just started it last month so ideally, I would want to stay for as long as possible (I...

Here's the situation: We live almost a thousand miles apart and want to live together as soon as possible. The original plan was for him to finish a semester early and move to my city. But he...

Thanks for the ideas everybody! If I had to answer my own questions, I'd want my wedding to be like this... What was your theme? Rustic - near the woods How old were you and your spouse?...

What a wonderful addition, umbrellasky! I loved reading the responses. :)

I have skimmed through this entire thread and here are my thoughts: First of all, I can relate to the OP's claims that she can feel other peoples' energies consisting primarily of negative...

Acey, I think what you say is true. I'll even admit: I have been that INFP girl that wanted the stereotypical popular boy at school (and at work in the professional world!). But listen to this:...

Wow! I am amazed that many of you carry on with going to work. I'm a wimp compared to all of you. :unsure: Not surprised at all that none of you go to the doctor. Today is Day Two of staying...

INFPs, when you have a cold, or the flu, or some other physical ailment, WHAT DO YOU DO? -I don't go to the doctor (more often than not) -I don't take meds (more often than not) -Then I take...

600 people! :crying: I was planning on having 50 people -- 90% out-of-towners, which makes it uncertain how many people would actually come. I don't plan on following any traditions. We are...

I've got plenty of wedding ideas, and I'm mainly looking for stories from people who already had their weddings. What was your theme? How old were you and your spouse? How much did you...

What happened to the gold? Did PC decide to get rid of it?

I fabricated a very elaborate lie to a good friend who helped me in major ways to save my ass. To this day, he doesn't know for sure if I had lied, or withheld some truth. Every time I think about...

Environmental science (but beware of becoming an extremist -- try to get a balanced view of things...) Infectious diseases (can help you dive into public health policy)

That video is as bad as any extreme religion. It turns my stomach and makes me dissociate myself from so-called environmentalists.

After twelve years of continuous heartbreak, I found someone who is all of these things. He may think differently, but I am the lucky one. Poor him! :proud:

I complain a lot! (But with a lot of qualifiers!) And I usually turn my complaints into jokes! This morning I went to get something checked, and the doctor told me to eat healthy, get lots of...

This has happened to me before. And thank god for aging, mistakes, and eventually making good friends to help me see where I went wrong. To be frank, I think you should drop her. You deserve...

Assertiveness -- but only in the beginning of relationships. Too much of it over time kills it for me. What am I attracted to over time, but not necessarily in the beginning? A man who knows when...

At first, it was great. In freshman year of high school, I had a class with a guy who I would find out was a very pronounced ENFJ 3 years later. Every girl had a crush on him, so I decided that I...

I could make a super duper long list of both idealistic and practical things to do before I die. But when I really think about it, I think I can live without most of those achievements. I would boil...

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU JUST WON THE SUPER LOTTO JACKPOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :crazy:

I love you doesn't make me feel loved at all. I don't really need to hear it after the first time.

I accept the risks. I wish I had ten of you.

The world has never been perfect, and will never be perfect. The long road to seeing this is studying geology, biology, astronomy, physics, archaeology, anthropology, and world literature. The short...

I read this thread awhile back, before I started dating my INFP boyfriend. I've finally decided to write about our relationship in my blog.

That is basic human nature at work.

Other people generally enjoy my weirdness. :)

So why aren't you dating INFP Guy #1? :laughing:

I never even thought to take anything I see on news and radio (most stations) and in magazines seriously...

I felt exactly the same way in high school. Looking back on my high school years, if I could do one thing differently, it would have been to tell every single teacher I had that I felt this way,...

One thing that can reduce understandings is to be upfront about yourself. It helps me a great deal when I tell new roommates, Look, if I'm being quiet or take awhile to respond, it's not because I'm...

I have never had a major problem with being taken seriously. Sometimes the ideas I treasure and protect most get challenged, which may make it look like my friends are not taking me seriously. But I...

When I was 17, my then-boyfriend asked me if I believed in fate and in soulmates. Then he broke up with me. For years, I felt my life spin in constant confusion, going back and forth between...

After dating mostly Ts (and even avoiding Fs) for 10 years, I am convinced that I feel happiest with another F. I'm dating an INFP man right now and it is, hands down, the easiest and most...

Thanks for the post OP. I went through stages with the global warming stuff. At first, I was apathetic and then I dated a guy who was absolutely absorbed by it. I took on his sentiments and...

Something like that, yes. :) However, I have to say that sex from frustration (due to silence) is amazing as well. Let the frustration accumulate! It's easy to say that one would leave if...

At first, I didn't understand John's explanation about needing to date a Christian, but after a couple of years, it hit me that that's simply a major part of his very being, how he was raised, how...

For sake of clarity, I will describe each of my INFP friendships, but I won't use any real names. John, INFP, male I met John in my freshman year of high school. He was skinny, had big brown...

Some become more talkative, others less so. I used to be much, much more talkative, willing to talk about anything others were interested in, and I asked lots of questions. These days, I find...

Highly variable. I have plenty of INFP friends, male and female, and though they are very different from each other, they all share this INFP essence of searching for meaning, heightened...'
