'All of you guys saying Just cut them out of your life! It comes from a good place, but it also makes me wince. Like, yeah, I've been waiting to do that for years. Not everyone in a bad/abusive...
Rhode Island, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Then again, I don't quite understand quizzes like that where you're supposed to rate your personality on a strange scale.
I just want to point out that I'm not worried about typism for my own health. Like I said, I know myself. Baseless internet hate doesn't bother me because I know it's just someone trying to rattle...
So I've noticed that the INFP is often reduced to a blubbering, blindly optimistic fool by others. I'm at the point where I expect to be disappointed by these two-dimensional, condescending...
Also, left-brain right-brain theory isn't really a thing. [Source]
Eh. I don't like to attribute things like most creative, most logical, kindest, etc. to any one type. Not only is it a matter of opinion, it might make some people feel inferior to others,...
I'm sorry about the struggles you're having, friend. I can definitely relate. UnicornRainbowLove You could be down because you're having a hard time trying to cope with what you've learned,...
I may not have accomplished anything, but let me tell you all about my participation ribbons and trophies!
In the words of SwooZie, If there's a jealous bone in your body, BREAK it and never let it heal. I hate being swept up by jealously. It's unkind to people who excel. It's ugly in others, but...
Generally, NFs and SJs don't get along very well. :3 It's rare to see them in a happy relationship. But not impossible! NF x NF is typically the best match for INFPs, and although happy NF x SJ...
I don't like the implication that her gender and her incompetence as a therapist are somehow connected. telepariah Seems to me you're better off talking to yourself in the mirror than to her, if...
INFPs, I think we can all agree that too many people are too ignorant and intolerant in this world, and a lot of those ignorant, intolerable people own us. We can't expect compassion, respect,...
Hello, Callaendia! I'm interested in seeing how other INFPs respond to this question, too. Let's see what I've got for you. I write and read often. I have a Goodreads and Wattpad for this. I...
I've been to a school counselor weekly for a while, which is basically only group counseling. Like teenagers should automatically have the same struggles, like alcoholics or people suffering from...
Laeona Your response made me chuckle. You make all introverts sound like Sherlock. Personally, I like the comparison and can see the connection. >:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxZ1fPr9FJg...
Mender I theorize some teachers return to high school because they never really left, mentally speaking. You can also tell which teachers belonged to which cliques based on whom they show the most...
In my experience, natural talent only gets you a head start. Art, film, photography, and philosophy are skills. You weren't born with a set intelligence or skill in anything, as much as the education...
I answered maybe marriage, maybe kids. I can't decide what I may want in the future because I'm always changing, my understanding of my self is always changing, the world is changing, and people...
I'm in high school right now, struggling the hardest I've ever struggled in school. Not with understanding the subject, really, just struggling with not throwing my desk across the room. Sometimes,...
You know what my APUSH teacher would and has said to that? Do you think that's an excuse for [the non-fitting student] not to succeed? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WITH...
Ugh. Too often. I have a hatred for time because it won't obey me. :tongue: Sometimes, I'll be studying a material for class that I don't really understand, and I decide I want to understand it...
TyTy Good idea! How come I never thought of that...? >_< I know exactly what you're talking about. Some people can lose themselves in experiences, emotions, ideas, motions... etc. Others cannot....
My INTJ best friend is helping me the most right now in my struggle with mental sickness. I'm grateful to have her in my life. Although sometimes she says calculated, hurtful things, I know she...
I'm sorry you're in the grips of the INFP dark side, Niennna. Good luck to you. Also, videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2G8sfMU17XM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2xJ1CnVfsk...
kittypuppy Book recommendations are always wonderful, in my opinion. :) It's important for the writer, artist, etc., to keep in mind that no piece of writing is perfect entirely, and that while...
I need love, attention, and understanding, and yet the people around me don't provide the (albeit selfish) brand of attention I crave. So I'm alone, sort of from necessity but mostly from feelings of...
Eh. I feel like this video does my post better justice than writing something. This is TheGothicAlice on Youtube, if you can ignore the audio problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEUsPEfPpZE
I think that perhaps you should spend some time talking out your feelings with your husband. Set aside time to explain the way you feel. He might be able to provide refreshing insight, help boost...
TW: Some graphic content. Usually, running full-speed into the wall works. If not, well, I have a trusty Brain-Quieting Hammer. Works like a charm. >:) Ah, but seriously. I try to redirect my...
PaperAndColours I'm in mixed agreeance with what you're saying. You're definitely right in that people are actually way easier to topple than the typical INFP believes. I agree that if they react...
I'm a 50-50. On the one hand, I'll speak up in a polite, suggestive matter. Rather than, Step aside, you're in front of the door, I'll say, Excuse me and hope they get the hint. I sure don't have...
Watching this video, oh my gosh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOCtdw9FG-s
Haha, yeah. Pretty much anything that makes you feel extremely superior or extremely inferior to other people shouldn't be trusted.
I love my INTJ friend to pieces. Yes, she does boss me around, correct me, and get tired of my dewy-eyed idealism, while I'm annoyed by her somewhat inflexible views. However, I like that she is...
*Double take.* Th-the what??? I'm the shit? Gee, I wonder why I don't find that statement as flattering as you seem to intend it to be. Listen, straight men looking to hook up with an...
kittypuppy Rune Hello there. I've been struggling with producing a story (I'm a writer, you see) for about... Wow, just about four years now. Most days, I go without a single drop of inspiration...
Hmm. I don't personally agree with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs to begin with, and I'm not sure I agree with how this article describes self-actualization, either. It seems less like a true analysis...
beetwick Ah, parents. It only takes the meeting of two gametes to qualify two people for parenthood. I have yet to meet someone who wasn't damaged in some way by their upbringing. Some much more...
You're so shallow. About as deep as a kiddie pool.
Shit INFPs Don't Usually Say. Pretty much every invention has already been discovered already. Also, Pretty much every story has already been written already. There's nothing new out there. ...
From a young age, you will be taught that your worth as a human being is dependent on so many factors outside of your control. Genetics, for example. They try to make you believe that intelligence,...
This post makes me rethink some stuff. Firstly, whether hypocrisy is an avoidable thing. Secondly, whether I'm a hypocrite for hating hypocrites.
It's your right to walk out of a movie for whatever reason and to refrain from using certain words in your vocabulary. Know I don't mean to offend you in saying the following. But it makes me...
Wow. That sums me up so well. Especially that I am idealistically loving yet by nature am forced to hate. I remember telling my dad I tried to not to judge others, and I hated people who do for...
Yes. And I will stand up for that person if I have the means to. Before now, I've never really had to stand up against anyone, but my AP US History teacher has changed things. My teacher must have...
Aheheh... Let's all forget that in a 50/50 between two keyboards, I ended up buying the solar-powered one... *Cough, shuffle.* :blushed: Yeah, the first time I tested, I got INTJ. My friend also...
LOL! I can imagine this threat firing up quite a few INFPs. It's okay, Stone Drum. The freedom of speech argument is actually helpful to the INFP because the person is basically saying The only...
Get Home - Bastille The birds are mocking me... They call to be heard. The birds are mocking me.... They curse my return.
When I was little, I thought friendship was everything. I put so much importance on having a best friend. This is likely due to the fact that my father is an extremely conscientious ESTJ, my mother...
I think the only time I ever misuse facts and logic is when I'm stressed out. In a calm, encouraging discussion, I feel I can think through the logic, pair it with my instinctive feeling, and make my...'
