'Yeah I get that alot. I don't mind because if they didn't care they would bother asking.
27922 Jim November 18, 1952 - December 7, 2011 He was a great friend and brother. I miss him dearly.
I just want to thank everyone for your kind words and your support. Your thoughts, words and prayers have helped me a great deal and I appreciate it greatly.
Yesterday my brother passed away at the age of 59, after a long painful battle with MS. I miss him, he was patient and understood me and who I am. Everyone is telling me that this is a blessing,...
This one is a tough one for me. I have a friend who says I can read her like a book, usually its her facial expression and her eyes that give away her emotions or what she is thinking. Having said...
To tell you the truth. I'm not sure what my wife's type is. But really our marriage was based on a commitment that made to each other 21 years ago and we meant it. Combine that with negotiation....
Absolutely, how do we know that our emotions are based on fact? Usually they are based on our beliefs and values which mainly come from past experience. Nothing wrong with examine where your emotions...
I agree. Unless you are in a stable place I wouldn't advise it. I was up for 36 hours and I wasn't in a good place. It was almost the end of me - literally.
I love hugs from my wife, and two children and my elderly parents. I have a couple close friends I like hugs from. I don't feel comfortable getting hugs from anyone else but I will accept one from...
I have problems resting my mind, which led to a lack of sleep which made my depression and anxiety even worse. My first goal was to achieve better quality of sleep. I have cut out caffeine, which...
Been married for 21 years...to the same person...which is a very good thing. Am I easy to live with, most likely the answer is no. But a married a very patient woman which makes me a lucky man.
I have to say I would feel terrible which is why I haven't broken many hearts. I make good and sure that my feelings are true before I start to expose myself emotionally. I am definitely up to my...
Yes when I am passionate about the topic and I can say what I want to say, not a script then I enjoy it and I have been told I'm good at it. But its not something I thought I could do until I tried...
For me its the night, my thought seem to be clearer and I'm more creative at night. Believe it or not one of my fantasies is staying up the whole night with someone I'm attracted to just talking,...
I don't know, sometimes I try to look at INFPs from the other person's perspective. We are quiet, hard to get to know, then once we except someone into our inner circle we hit them with a tidal wave...
Tough question. I guess you could fall in love. But for me love is more than an emotion, it is a commitment that no matter what this person does or says I will love them. Emotions come, emotions go,...
The only time I get jealous is when someone I have spent a great deal of time and emotion on treats me like one of the masses. What I mean is I don't allow many people into my inner most private...
Personally I disagree with the movement. I don't care about money and never have. The so-called 1 percent can have all the money they want, we all end up gone sooner or later. The vast majority live...
Thank-you, much appreciated. We maybe don't touch many people in this world but the ones we let into our world come out better for it. Maybe that is a little arrogant but it does keep me going...
I'm not sure there is a society that I would truly be at peace with. As long as there are people who play life as a game and see people as pawns instead of creatures of value a society will always...
Has your heart ever wanted something so badly that it almost literally aches, but your mind knows would only lead to trouble and pain? Maybe a silly question in our forum.
As an INFP male I would have cried as well. And it would have been difficult to explain why. It has been said already we feel everything very strongly. You have a lifetime to get to know each other...
In my very humble opinion, you have two choices when you see her. You can tell her or not tell her. I'm not trying to be flippant its just I have been through this myself, at least the part of...
My faith, non-fiction book and coaching football keep me sane. Not to mention my family, I have a very supportive family.
I wouldn't say I'm addicted to it. It does provide interaction without the in person contact. I don't mind being alone with someone but I enjoy it on a limited basis. In a sense its a alterative way...
This isn't a strange feeling with us INFPs and you are definately not alone. For me, when I was in my late 20's the pressure of making a living and doing something in line with my values had a head...
I'm not a small talker either, no surprise there. I do enjoy deep conversation but only with a very few people. Right now there is someone I enjoy talking with but don't have many opportunities to do...
Imagine the world without us. They need us more than we need them, they just don't realize it.
Please don't end it all. Please don't. I know we are different. I know that I don't understand people, I don't understand why I sit by myself when everyone in the room is having fun with others, why...
I tended to be a happy drunk, life of the party which takes people by surprise because I'm usually quiet and reserved. As long as everyone was having fun, I was having fun and the more I drink. But...
I do agree that emotions tend to rule whether I accomplish something or not; whether I do something or not. I do find that if I truly value the result of the task then I feel like doing it. I do...
It was a week ago. I coach football for 12-14 year olds. We lost in the league finals. I wasn't real disappointed, it really has been a long season. But when I walked into the dressing room after the...
For me its when someone I love, tells me something very personal and emotional about themselves that no one else knows. Then our eyes meet and stay locked for a moment. At that point you feel the...
Right now I would say I am a 3. But I can slip to 5-6 real easy. Right now I do enjoy bringing joy to others in small ways. Right now though I seem to be searching for that one person that I really...
I would be upset by this as well, it would devastate me. Part of the reason it would devastate me is that it would confirm the way I actually see myself. If someone calls me dumbass somewhere deep...
So, here I sit by the computer knowing I did the wrong thing but couldn't help myself. Itx92s not as scandalous as people might think. Had some trouble this summer with depression, I know the trigger...
I have the same trait, once attached I can't seem to let go even if logically I know there is no future. I can say that once I am willing to let go or attempt to let go, the process of getting over...
Yeah they bother me as well. I, like most people on this thread just walk away, but I know its tough when you are in constant contact with you and your family.
If a career path interests you I suggest you visit one of these companies or business in an attempt to get a feel for what the job would require day in and day out. I started out on a couple career...
One single event that I witness three years ago occasionally causes me trauma and grief from time to time. Something I've been dealing with this lately which has brought this thought into mind. There...
I think we are complex and in battle with ours. The key for me is to set a plan, determine what it is I want to achieve, where do I want to be. In most cases when I set these goals one side of the...
Hadn't thought of it that way but I agree the external force could be yourself.
Maybe I misread this but the lyrics refer to an outside source or force that is holding her back. I see myself as a more of a paradox. I'm my best friend, I'm my worst enemy I'm my biggest fan,...
When I feel insecure in a relationship in which I have extremely strong feelings I tend to want that emotional bond. In my dating days, I think they called it moving to fast. (Not suggesting you are...
[QUOTESo the question remains, can you create anything of value? Will that be the new equivalent of career paralysis? Instead of today where you have to choose between finding a career that pays and...
I was faced with the same thing for a number of years, going from job to job, not finding fulfillment or meaning n the tasks I was assigned. Then marriage and two children came eventually which...
I have no better advice than what's been given but your situation struck and chord with me. I'm going through a similar situation and its not easy. I'm sure there are more than us out there dealing...
Keep in mind that no matter what your personality there are things in this world that trouble everyone. I guess part of being human is being self aware, that includes the good and the bad. Take baby...
In my opinion and experience, he needs to trust you. He may have taken a chance on someone he thought was interested in him, in the past, only to find out he was wrong and his love interest only...
I value: 1. Genuine affection 2. Individuals and their value to themselves and others 3. Harmony 4. Faith 5. Honesty'
