I've never been diagnosed, but I suspect I could be. I've never been suicidal, but then, it's very rare for me to feel particularly excited about life. I don't know what it's like to be...

I stumbled upon this list on Wikipedia and found it interesting. It's a list of well-known people who have, or have had, major depressive disorder. It's not just celebrities like Angelina Jolie; it's...

The three most difficult things for a human being are not physical feats or intellectual achievements. They are, first, returning love for hate; second, including the excluded; third, admitting that...

Kudos to you for having the courage to ask. I would if I could, but I'm in the USA. Actually, I probably wouldn't because I'd be too shy about it. About the talking thing, I do the same thing. I...

Another day, another failure. Another defeat for me, another victory for fear. Why don't I do what I say I want to do? Why can't I become the person I want to become? Why do I beat myself...

Yes, I have the voice too. In fact, we all have it. But some people have become aware that the voice is not who they really are, while others have so strongly identified with the voice that...

Yes. In fact, it happened recently ... I bought something online, but I realized too late that I had confirmed my old address. The USPS couldn't redirect my package so I had to figure out how to...

Check out the teachings of Eckhart Tolle. I would try to explain it, but he will do a much better job. You can get the PDF of his book The Power of Now online for free here. And there are a...

Tao Te Ching, Chapter 57 If you want to be a great leader, you must learn to follow the Tao. Stop trying to control. Let go of fixed plans and concepts, and the world will govern itself. ...

It's probably a P thing. Staying up late is sleep procrastination.

When I first read that Woody Allen was an INFP I was skeptical, but after watching his recent film Midnight in Paris, I can totally see it. I had assumed he was a Thinking-type because his...

In this case: Mr. Nice Guy = Mr. Needy Guy Ironically, men who need women drive them away, while men who don't need women drive them wild. There's a difference between someone who is...

Yep. I do this too. Introverts on the internet are still introverts. In real life, extroverts prefer to think out loud while introverts prefer to stay silent while they verbalize, re-arrange...

Searcher or Seeker. Either of these words would be more accurate for me than drifter. Drifting implies aimlessness. That you don't care where you go. That you'll go where ever the wind...

Michelangelo was not trying to paint like Michelangelo. He was just trying to paint well; he couldn't help painting like Michelangelo. The only style worth having is the one you can't help. -...

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ...

The most important person in your life is you. No one can tear you down like you can. No one can build you up like you can. No one can help you if you don't let them. No one can hurt you if...

Here's a book on the subject: Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking And here's author's blog: Quiet: The Power of Introverts - By Susan Cain, Introversion...

Instead of a chat room, I think it would be ideal if there were an Omegle-style chat site out there that allowed for private groups so that you'd be instantly set up with random, anonymous one-on-one...

I've read a lot of the internet ... I think I'm about halfway through.

Wow, I'm impressed that you made it that far with your music. Congratulations! My problem is that I can't even finish the dozens of recordings that I have started. It's like I get to 90% done and...

In general: Libertarians and Liberals would agree on: anti-war / pro-peace foreign policy, anti-corporatism, gay rights, civil liberties, marijuana legalization, compassion / charity for the poor...

Oh and, yeah, there are lots of things I don't like about Christmas. Here's one: I don't like buying gifts for people. Luckily, I have no one in my life that would be terribly upset or surprised...

I've heard this too, but according to Wikipedia, it's actually a myth. The days of the week, however, do have a predictable correlation with suicide rates. Yep, you guessed it: Most suicides...

Here's the best thing I've ever read about essays. (Yes, it's an essay on essays.) The Age of the Essay by Paul Graham It begins: Remember the essays you had to write in high school?...

I'm not taking the concept of private property any further than it has already been taken. I agree that the idea of owning & selling the air is ridiculous, but then, I never suggested that it wasn't....

Clearly you all don't believe that property is a part of human nature. I think it is. How would we go about proving that anything is human nature as opposed to social conditioning (nature vs....

It can't be about access and not about ownership, because the owner determines access. Private property is, by definition, only accessible to the owner or with the owner's permission. So,...

Capitalism: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state. Karl Marx, Communist Manifesto: the...

Ever seen / heard of the It Gets Better project? This sentiment holds true for any minority – whether it's your race, sexual orientation or MBTI type. The more your world expands, the easier it...

I wrote this as a reply in another thread, but I figured I'd post it here too because it could apply to almost any upsetting situation. ---- The first and most important thing is to observe and...

No, it's not. Yes, you do. ---- The first and most important step is to observe and accept your feelings.

This is a section from the book A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. It made me think of INFP's: THE FREQUENCY-HOLDERS The outward movement into form does not express itself with equal intensity in...

I anticipate this being a problem for me too. I'm 23 and struggling to make that transition from college student to independent working man. But I wonder: What if the secret was not to...

snail, Wow, you learned a lot ;) But seriously, thanks for sharing. Your post reminded me of this quote from Paul Graham: Rebellion is almost as stupid as obedience. In either case you...

So true. It always blew my mind how many friendships / relationships my ENFJ ex-gf nurtured & maintained; her grade-school friends, her high school friends, her dance friends, her family, her...

Don't think of Feeling as synonymous with feelings / emotions / emotional. I'm an INFP, but no one who knows me would describe me as emotional. Feeling as opposed Thinking means I make...

You might want to look into work-from-home jobs. There are actually quite a few legitimate ones out there. Here's the best place I've found to learn more. It's a forum and you'll have to register...

I dated an ENFJ girl for about two years. All the emotional stuff was wonderful. We were deeply in love, we were loyal, open, honest, trusting. We talked all the time and we loved spending time...

Instead of trying to escape the pain, I tend to just wallow in it.

The point was not to segregate discussion but to segregate polling in order to find out whether there were differences in male and female answers to the questions. I assumed there would be a...

Okay, last poll in order to complement the results from here and here. The results of those polls so far: Updated results (12/06/2011): INFP Females: Marriage? 52% Yes 36% Maybe 11% No ...

It's enough for me to love you from afar From wherever I am to wherever you are

Yeah, I'll never fit the mold of the ideal American Husband: hard-working, bread-winning, beer-chugging, football-watching, dependable, reliable, achiever. Instead I'm a work-hating, bread-eating,...

Sounds nice. I've always wanted this – even though it's a bit taboo for heterosexual guys. Still looking for the Turk to my JD. I have about 4 close friends, but we're not as close as I wish we...

I'm with redballoon on this one. Go natural. I can hardly think of a bigger turn-off then pulling a girl close and being instantly transported to the makeup / perfume section of Macy's. I been...

I want love & committed relationship, but I'm very skeptical / cynical about marriage. I don't want to end up like my parents with their loveless, unhappy marriage – which in some ways is worse...'
