'Has this worked?
I wasn't a loner at school. I always had friends to hang out with (although I didn't feel any kind of meaningful friendship with the most of them), and always had/have a best friend. These days...
I will immediately form some judgement about every new person I meet. Might be good or bad, or neither. It will just be a sense of who I THINK this person is, and a lot of the time I am too quick in...
Please believe me when I say socialising on the whole gets a LOT better after high school! Even parties. It's always going to be easier for an chatty extrovert, but people will also value quieter...
Law - for the same reasons as anUtterMesh mentioned. Retail - would feel bad for being so false all day. Waitressing - would spill food on customers and then cry in a corner. Any office-based job.
Thank you so much. I particularly love point number 6, which is the main reason why I'm doing this. :)
It depends a lot. I have a couple of friends who constantly takes tease me, make fun of me (and vice versa), and that's absolutely fine because it's them and I am so secure in their friendship. When...
I have had a few lucid dreams in the past. One that I remember vividly is that I was being chased down a long, windy corridor in an old house and I knew there was some horrible beast chasing me....
My father and brother are both INTPs and I have great relationships with both of them. I think they are both more grounded in a sense than I am, more matter of fact and less questioning. My brother...
Oh yeah, there are some people's personalities that I flat out despise. Typically the loud, obnoxious and intolerant type. I also dislike people who constantly whinge and complain about their...
I know a lot of the time I take criticism personally when it (apparently) is not meant as a personal reflection. I really have trouble detaching my feelings. If something I've done and tried my best...
Well done on your working visa and your decision to go exploring! I've recently come back from a 6 month travelling trip. It was amazing and exciting, enriching and rewarding. Of course there were...
Amelie, Delicatessen, Thelma and Louise, Into the Wild, Misery, Tarnation. Recently saw The Artist, which really drew me in, but not sure if I would class it as a favourite :)
I think kaleidoscope summed up my feelings pretty well! I would agree - consistency in people, or maybe an environment, is a must. I like to know where I stand with people. I need to be in a...
Routine! Rushing (yet at the same time, dawdling). People who keep me waiting. Rude people. Cruelty to kittens. Bullies. The price of public transport.
There needs to be some suspense and chase, but some reassurance that you are not going mad and imagining things. If I send you a text or try to call you, please don't ignore it (or forget to...
Maybe you will be a doctor! I don't think you are schizophrenic based on your handwriting alone. My writing isn't bad, but it depends what mood I'm in, my pen type etc.
I love hugs, but from the right people... close family and friends, no one else. Sometimes I don't want to let go, but I force myself. They are just very comforting. From the wrong person, a hug...
I agree. Nothing wrong with being alone unless you feel lonely. As much as I love my alone time, being independent, and away from anybody toxic, I certainly need people close to me in my life to feel...
As a previous poster has already mentioned... giving gifts is something that hints that I like someone. I become slightly obsessive about people and love to make things for them, especially if they...
I kept my head down so as to avoid bullies, this worked for the most part. I was never targeted for being 'me'... that's actually something I've had to face since leaving school~! I was quiet, but...
I apologise if this has been posted before! I'm interested to know the job roles of other INFPs. What do you like and dislike about your current job? And where do you see yourself progressing? I...
What keeps me going is my faith that there is a calling out there for me, that is undiscovered and I do not know even exists.
All the bloody time. Especially of people in authority, for some reason. And then I get nervous around them and can't even speak to them. It's ridiculous. I find these mini crushes come and go, so...
I understand exactly what you are saying, and sometimes face the same battle. I think I am happiest, socially, when I am in some sort of 'community'... I found university was somewhat like that -...
I've never watched it, but someone at work keeps trying to lend me the boxset as a kind of joke. I'm guessing from that alone that I would hate t!
Well, yes... it is important not to set expectations in others too high. We are all human and none of us are perfect, after all. But I feel like the kind of expectations I do set are there for a...
I really don't feel that I 'lead' in any way... I naturally fall into a submissive role and tend follow others (often without conviction), or do my own thing, when I realise I don't have the power or...
Well, I suppose I would chose Neverland... because it has that sense of wonder and the ability to be what ever it wants to, whilst having the sense of nostalgia and innocence, and preservation...
From a very removed and objective view, my advice would be to look after yourself first and foremost. Not that it is a case of blaming someone, and I don't know your full situation or relationship,...
I will never, ever be the ruler of anything. But my very vague and unrealistic agenda would be to help the poor, the orphaned and the homeless, and stray cats.
I really like the girls names Violet and Olive... but I've always like the name Naima, which is an Arabic name that I first heard from John Coltrane's song, since Naima was the name of his wife. I've...
I don't know what the difference is between liberal and libertarian... but I'm definitely left wing. And I'm a lesbonaut.
I do it at every given moment in my day! I nearly crash my car multiple times a day because I'm so far away. It's usually in the bath that I day dream. I have one every morning for this reason.
I scored 23. I have wondered if I am autistic before. The main thing that makes me realise that I'm not (and maybe most INFPs) is my very strong intuition and empathy I have with people, and an...
I actually love the tradition of Christmas... I mean, our own family traditions, stuff I can feel nostalgic about, and revert back to a child. I love that. I love Christmas carols, wrapping...
I can relate to what you have said. I think my constant fear of failure and feeling of inadequacy prevents me from putting my music out there and playing with other musicians. I can only play with...
I procrastinate and torture myself with guilt for the 4 weeks that I've had to do the assignment, and then write 3,000 words starting at 2am the night before it's due, giving myself an ample 7 hours...
That's funny you mention about collecting the rocks. I used to have what I called my China collection, basically, bits of chipped plates and mugs that were either broken in our home, or that I...
I am slightly more adept with small talk than I used to be.. the nature of my job has forced me to be. Sometimes I quite enjoy it, sometimes it's forced and fake, and a lot of the time I abhor it! If...
Stop organising your bank statements, and come and listen to this live madrigal choir next door. Your cat needs to be stroked more.
My desire to live! I think I have fear of the fear of death ever taking over my want to live.
I sort of agree. Growing up, I wished and prayed that I would have been alive in the 60s, I wore the tie-die and flares and loved anything 'hippy'. I'm really not as hardcore as the real hippies in...
Oh, and dignified people falling over.
I think I can be quite witty... I enjoy puns, really cheesy ones. I can be sarcastic and take the mic (although I can only do that to people who I know I won't offend). I enjoy dark, surreal, weird...
I suppress my hurt, anger, sadness, thinking it's not my place to confront a person, or that it is just easier to try and forget about it. Sometimes I do move on and leave that behind, but 9 times...
The Sims! ....
I'm not sure I understand what a tri-type is, sorry! But these are my results: Type One: 6 Type Two: 19 Type Three: 13 Type Four: 29 Type Five: 23 Type Six: 23 Type Seven: 13
I'm not against casual sex all together. I could never have sex with a complete stranger, no matter how attractive I found them. But sex with someone I know but don't necessarily want/expect a...'
