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

'I've recently realized I have a heightened awareness of the fragility of all things. For better or worse.

The one time I considered taking a vow of abstinence was when I was having a lot of one night stands and short flings. These flings made me happy for the night, or two nights, or a week, and then I...

Nothing. That sounds amazing actually. Fuck the haters.

When I have a crush on someone, I tend to think of them as superior to me, god-like even. I idealize them. What I learned to do was take them off the pedestal, and humanize them again. This usually...

I hate my mood swings when I'm sad out of nowhere, but I love them when I'm impenetrably happy out of nowhere :crazy: I'm wearing my favorite maxi dress, sipping on a Happy Camper IPA, and I have...

I totally understand. In the six months, out of my best friends, one moved to New York, one moved to Texas, one moved to Morocco, and one started med school. And I stayed here. Needless to say, I...

Texting still takes time. A lot of people get anxious about talking on the phone, and might prefer texting for that reason.

Now, to get back on topic: I'm tired of sniffling. I'm tired of having this cold or whatever this illness is. Being sick makes me feel so helpless. I'm tired of a certain few of my coworkers...

I understand. I think what I'm most bothered by is a pattern I see on these forums where self-typed iNtuitives will blame all their problems on SJs. I think it's a really immature way to use the...

No. Yes. Meditate, dude. Make it a habit. Meditation is easy, if you don't get frustrated with yourself. I think a good way to start is to tell yourself you'll meditate for 15 or 20...

I like Christmas for the food. My grandmother makes a chicken dish that's a casserole with pulled chicken, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, cheddar cheese, an assload of butter, and Ritz crackers...

Happy birthday, mon bébé.

Grow up. STJs are not automatons. They're living, breathing - they have hopes and dreams like you, they can have rich inner worlds and complex thoughts. Though I doubt they'd want to share any of...

That is fucking cool.

That's what I just did for dinner! I also melted some pepperjack cheese over it and added some hot sauce. Perfecto.

Avocados are so heavenly and a common source of happiness for me. I'd take a side of sliced, perfectly ripened avocado over hot greasy fries any day. Hell, I'd take an avocado over most things. If...

I've started my Christmas shopping for the year and I had forgotten how much I actually like shopping for gifts. Last year's Christmas was a letdown because I was wildly depressed and spend the...

Starting a conversation with a random stranger on Facebook is possibly even weirder than starting a conversation with a random stranger in person. Are you just adding complete strangers? How are...

Sick. My chest hurts. I cut up some ginger root and steeped it to make tea, so I'm hoping that will help. I also just feel flat-out weird. Since I've been ill these last few days, I haven't been able...

Well, that's part of the explanation. People are also prone to shallowly self-typing as INFP if they feel they're an outsider, overly emotional/sensitive, and creative/artistic, regardless...

I'm considering waking up earlier than usual tomorrow morning just so I can take an extra long hot shower.

I think INFJ mistypers are also commonly ISFPs and even sometimes IxTPs.

Well, I mean, you made a whole thread about how you think INFJs on this forum are mistyped. While you aren't calling out individuals (thank god), it is rather pointed, regardless of if you started...

Jasmine green is my absolute favorite. Currently making my way through a cup of Teavana's Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls. I've also recently discovered Yogi's St. John's Wort Blues Away. I...

*Lies. *Being underestimated. *Passive aggression and subtle digs. Somehow this hurts more than someone just saying something outright. I think it's because this kind of stuff doesn't lend...

Well it's going to be impossible to avoid all uncomfortableness and hurt. Shit happens, and INFPs are sensitive. :P The important thing is that if/when you hurt this INFP, you show concern. Admit...

It's amazing what regular sex, exercise, home-cooked meals (good one), and cuddles can do to a person. I have had so much energy lately, and I feel so light and confident.

You sound like an INFJ to me, so far. What INFP qualities do you relate to? And don't worry so much about J vs P. Focus on the types as a whole. INFP's dominant function is a judging function, so...

IV. I like being unpredictable and fast-moving. And making the first move :cool: I do also see the appeal in III, yet I don't like the idea of duels being dragged out -- let's just get this shit...

While I can agree mistypes happen, I don't think you've addressed this properly. What I'm getting from your posts is you saying people are mistyped if they're not like you. Confident, people-focused,...

Yep. Fe is hella sexy.

If you change yourself into something opposite of yourself, you're going to attract people who are the opposite of yourself. That is not going to cure your loneliness. I've been there, and it sucks...

I'm probably going to commit to a new relationship sometime soon. I find myself just looking at his skin sometime. Or something as simple as the pit of his elbow. Or the long scar on his stomach....

My ex wasn't as good for nothing as I often discount him as. With him I experienced many firsts: first time skinny-dipping, first time rolling, first time to need a cigarette post sex. He taught me...

First things first. Always go into the place to turn in your application (no online applications unless that's your only option!) and ask for a manager. Introduce yourself. It'll show initiative, and...

A black fitted crewneck and black underwear. No socks. I was wearing some blue skinny jeans earlier, but then I came home, and pants immediately came off :P

Well then, welcome :kitteh:

Oh, shit. Can't have a controversial thread without a troll account made just to post in the thread.

I repeat: Now give it a goddamned rest.

I walk. I can get most places I need to be in 10-20 minutes.

Damn, where did my Fi go? Thank you for this. Honestly, I viewed this issue as a small one. Somebody didn't take your depression seriously and/or handle it with proper care - that's the...

Yeah, except your original post touched more on the point that he misunderstood depression. Not that he was a medical professional who misunderstood it. But that he misunderstood it. You were upset...

Well it's a bit of both. A dog bites you and you treat the wound. You don't sit around saying I shouldn't have to treat this because the dog shouldn't have bit me in the first place. The...

Then I went about my posting in the wrong way. Throughout my depression and anxiety, I was believed by my dad to be overly sensitive, faking it, and lazy. Being bothered by his opinion on my...

Lmao, we seem to be on the same page tonight XD

You're right. The point of the post (and I am getting this directly from the last line of your post) was for others to assure you that you weren't unreasonable for feeling disrespected by this...

Yeah, it happens to me, and it always has and probably always will. To cope in those situations, I'll try to steer the conversation in a direction I can relate to. People endlessly talking about...

You're being defensive. I'm on your side. Nobody can help their immediate responses to things. If something upsets you, it upsets you. If it makes you cry, it makes you cry. C'est la vie....

My point is you will come across people like him again and again because depression is misunderstood by many people, so it's not worth getting worked up over. It's fine that it does hurt and bother...

You've repeatedly said he knows nothing about you. So brush it off. He likely knows little about the realities of depression either. Brush it off. It's hard to have an invisible...'
