'I really like music and feel happier when it's on, but it's the middle of the night so I'm just listening to a fan and a clock ticking.
There are some tasks that I do regularly and can focus on the details. It's like that is time when I can switch off my brain and take a break from the what-ifs. I wouldn't want to deal with details...
Hi. It's been almost a year since I was on here. I'm not sure why I've been gone so long. I don't know if anyone is still here from a year or two ago and remembers me. Overall I have a lot to be...
I'm 48. It's been a while since I've been active on this site (busy going through a divorce and raising three kids)... I'll come back tomorrow and answer the questions.
I was struggling with this today, which is why I'm up so late. I was feeling repeatedly criticized at work and letting it get to me. I am trying to figure out how not to get so upset and defensive....
I have an INFP pin, but I just wear it at work. I would feel weird wearing it anywhere else. It's pretty cool to find other INFPs IRL. I only know who some are because most people at work talk...
My sister is an ISTJ and my mom is an ESTP. I love them both, but we don't have long heart-felt conversations. Neither of them are intentionally hurtful at all, so I don't have a problem with them...
huuump dayyy! yup-yup! (This is what my two older kids tell me everyone says on Wednesdays now. It's from a Geico commercial. It was pretty funny when they got my three year old saying it. lol)
My aunt is an ESFJ. She's very focused on family, loves kids, and is very kind and loving. I enjoy spending time with her - but I don't feel like she gets me at all. Also, being an extrovert, I...
Good list... I love to sit on the beach at night. Daydreams are good too, and I can daydream while hanging out with my kids. And lying in my hammock looking up into the leaves when the weather...
What works for us might not work for you. I am a single mom with three children, so my me time is whatever I can find time for, like going shopping, reading, or watching some TV alone before...
My dad is an ESTJ and my mom is an ESTP. (They got divorced many years ago.) My sister is an ISTJ. I was quite different from the rest of the family. My soon-to-be-ex is an ENTP. My older...
That does sound beautiful. : )
The hot chocolate sounds good, but the nighttime hot air balloon ride sounds scary. I think I would be terrified that I might start to wonder what it feels like to fly... Maybe I would enjoy it if...
I LOVE your ideas! They all sound like so much fun (except for the 10 and 7 hour movies) - SO much more fun and unusual than the usual...
1ofakind Where is your photo?
Lao Tsu (taoism) - very INFPish philosophy and 99% of it rings true
Brian1 Even if she is real, you won't know if there's any chemistry until you meet in person. Are you planning to meet? I'm an INFP and my mom is an ESTP. INFP-ESTP in a romantic relationship...
Thanks! When I was in my 20s finding someone and having children was a top priority. I broke up with guys because they didn't want kids. Now I have my children, so I have people who love me. I'm...
This is me... 62837
I'm going to read through this thread when I have a bit more time. I'm a white, 40-something woman living in Northern Virginia. Quick BIO... (Don't laugh - This is what I put on Chemistry.com)...
Are any of your family members caring? Maybe instead of hiding how you're feeling, maybe you could try a new tactic and tell them you're feeling depressed. Just don't make it sound like it's their...
Oops - sorry! I should read more carefully!
A lot of this rings true. I think that's why we hang out here - so we connect with people and get to be alone at the same time. It's the best of both worlds! (Actually, best would be finding my...
Hello. My daughter is in middle school, has ADD, and is an INTP. She was diagnosed with ADD about three years ago. I was wondering if this is common for a lot of INTPs (or maybe it's a common P...
I think most of us would rather avoid people than control anyone... I also have a drive to help people (which keeps me from avoiding people all the time) and from what I've heard from other INFPs...
hornet I'm not sure I have any useful advice. It sounds like you're being honest with her and trying to understand her. Those things are huge to INFPs. The problem will come if she loves you and...
That sums it up. Fi is about following your personal values, which are different for everyone. Who he should marry may be a deeply held personal value, or it might be something he got from his...
I think we posted at about the same time... If the problem is who he should marry, then it may be possible for him to change his values, if they aren't deeply held. It still comes down to Fi - what...
If there's a clash between someone and my values, I don't think I could truly love him. What specifically is the value that she's clashing with? If he values good health to the point of clashing...
I hear you. I wish I was doing something creative. I spend my free time drawing floor plans and coming up with all sorts of different ways I renovate my house. I should have been an architect. ...
Congrats on retiring in your early 50s! That's hard to do. A lot of people I know retire from their primary career in their 50s, then go out and get another job.
A lot of careers require a college degree. If you're interested in a career that doesn't, then don't go to college. If you are interested in one that requires a degree, get a degree... I don't...
I don't want to be mean, but I think hinky is a great word for it... It's like we're all connected to God on the inside, so that's where we should look for answers and values. Looking externally...
What are your favorite quotes? Here are some of mine: Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you. ...
I would think that most INFPs would come out Negotiator and Explorer, in either order. Anyone get a different result?
Being typed by a certified professional doesn't make you a certified INFP. It means the person administering the test has been through training to help you self-validate and to conduct the test...
Unfortunately many people do think being an intravert is a negative thing. If you say quiet and reflective or some other neutral/positive description, people are much more receptive.
I'm not sure how much of a correlation there is, but I wonder how the Chemistry.com personalities equate to MBTI. I'm and INFP and Chemistry.com says I'm Negotiator / Explorer Explorers are...
I think everyone wonders. I don't know if it's better to know or not know. It's a nice little ego boost, but... I found out that someone I know IRL has a crush on me. At first I was flattered,...
I knew one or two INFPs when I was in my 20s. Until a couple months ago there were about five of us in the office. One left on a rotation, one changed jobs, and one retired. Now there's just one...
Where are you in your six year cycle? I seemed to stumble into a relationship every year or two in my 20s. We'll see how that goes in my 40s... I think I'm even pickier now. I know I don't want...
I'm sorry to hear that. Don't give up! I went into online dating (haven't actually dated anyone from it yet) expecting that maybe eventually I might find someone. Or I'll find him by joining some...
I've been separated about five months. I'm hoping to start dating again, but am not sure where I'll find anyone. I've looked at match.com, but everyone sounds the same (SJs). Anyone know where...
And I'm great at logic - I took several logic classes in college and easily aced them. I think I got 100 on every assignment and test. Math and logic are something fun to play with. They have...
I was terrible in math in elementary school (memorizing multiplication tables, etc.), but got much better when we got to algebra. A plus A equals 2A seemed so obvious to me. I did well in calculus...
I don't think they're my cup of tea... I wonder if the Owl City guy is INFP. With his imagination he must be an N - or on some heavy drugs... LOL
I love his music. He sounds like he might be an INFP. My favorite songs are Wake Me Up, U.N.I., This, and (of course) The A Team. Thoughts?
It can be hard to see what someone introverts - so it can be hard to tell the difference between Fi and Ti and see the difference between Si and Ni. I have a friend I've know for years and no...'
