Poetic, kind and altruistic people, always eager to help a good cause.

'You said nearest book, right?

Make love, not war.

I had to excise my INFJ ex-best friend from my life about four months ago for similar reasons. It sucked for a little while, but ultimately, I'm so much happier for it. Like me, you also deserve to...

That was astoundingly accurate.

Coincidentally, Bjork is an INFP.

I grew up in a very conservative Christian household. My family and I worshipped Baptist churches every weekend, although we did not commit to a congregation until I was in ninth grade. I also...

You need better friends. And the ending to this movie was just... perfect.

This film is so, so, so good.

Last year, I had a nasty falling out with one of my (ex-)best friends. I was actually the one who initiated it. It sucked. I was actually so devastated that I couldn't cry; I could only tremble. I...

I find this statement rather offensive. If normal is synonymous with heterosexual, does that make anything but heterosexuality abnormal? Such a binary approach is too limited. There are various...

6. I can definitely relate to the story about the sensitive boy, never forgetting a moment of your past, and seeking an escape from suffering. Musically, however, the song is just so-so. I like the...

Jekyll and Hyde, Les Miserables, Matilda, Spring Awakening, Ragtimeu200b, the list goes on.

For whatever reason, all I can think about while reading this thread is Wrecking Ball.

83. I feel like this is more of an S-versus-N test, though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would encourage your child to report what he is experiencing to the authorities. The number for the Domestic Violence Hotline is (800) 799-7233. Child protective services will not ignore your son's...

I'm 21. Two years ago, a stranger asked me if I went to her son's middle school. I rest my case.

INFPs aren't sexually aggressive because we don't like objectifying people. We're also not the type to express our desires, especially if they conflict with yours. Based on those two observations,...

Yes, I would have been quite offended. My sex life - or lack thereof - is my business. It is irrelevant to my masculinity, my social success, and, most importantly, who I am as a person. Your...

I'd definitely cut down on the ellipses and change some names. Fred is fine, but Spacestrong is too much. World Decisions Towers and Glazed Duck Restaurant are also dreadfully cheesy. ...

Never dated or married an SP but have dealt with a few ESFPs and an ISTP. The ESFPs are nice people. A little extroverted and chatty for my taste, but fine people. The ISTP, on the other hand -...

My life is not a sad story. - Charlie, Perks of Being a Wallflower

1. I am exceptionally intelligent. I mean, who else uses tutelage and zeitgeist in their writing assignments? 2. I'm quite charismatic. 3. I'm exceptionally nice. 4. I'm also a great singer....

Hmm, this is a toughie. You purchased the house, so it is technically your own; however, for the sake of your family ties, I urge you to be respectful. Maybe Grandma has good taste! If not, then you...

I've become really good at hiding it.

Mother, ISFJ. Father, ESTJ.

Hmm... Perks of Being a Wallflower (the book and the movie) Charlotte's Web (good grief, I bawled after that one in fourth grade) Les Miserables (like, duh, doesn't everyone cry in this...

I'm a vocalist, so I don't smoke anything. I'm also on scholarship at university, so enjoying illegal substances isn't the smartest idea.

I am so awkward on the phone. #infpproblems

Psychologist Number 5 recently suggested I might have Asperger's Syndrome. I've done some research on the condition, and some of the symptoms do seem to fit me (though it's supposedly an INTP...

My reaction will just spring forward spontaneously. I'll gleefully say, Thank you! or You've made my day! If I'm speaking to a friend, then there will likely be hugs and I love you or I'm glad...

I would share everything that is worth knowing. My best friends pretty much know me inside out. I like it that way.

Yes, as I said earlier, the lying behavior is astoundingly unusual for an INFP. How could he sleep at night without a nagging conscience? Most of us would be tormented by the thought of putting up...

Aw, stop it, you. @Sun Lips, you and ToxicatedRose are quite right - we INFPs are not exactly quick to say how we feel about anything. It's often very difficult for us to just say how we feel...

Greetings from the INFP Empire. I have many high-quality friendships with INFJs. I care for them deeply, and the feeling is reciprocated. Nonetheless, I've read many complaints about the INFP-INFJ...

I used to retreat to an imaginarium where I'd care and be cared for by all the inanimate objects in my life. I imagine them as benevolent to a degree I don't see in humans.

As much as I like the exhilaration, I think I do need the woman who will give me rest.

Yes, Peter knew. Peter also knew about Sam's mental state; he knew everything. Not exactly. I have a lot of friends who are sexually active and am not bothered by that. And did you read the...

Thank you much. The situation is so fucked up I can't even describe it. Peter called Sam right before he had sex to ask how to use a condom. Let me repeat that Sam struggles with depression and...

I don't harbor anger for extended periods of time. There are too many other stimuli craving my attention. I suppose, in some regards, I forget and do not forgive. There has been a recent incident...

This is spot-on for me. My secondary schools placed a huge emphasis on debate, and, with a lot of Ne and a lot less Te, I would make speculations that could be readily be destroyed. Even outside...

C&P'ed this from the INFP Vent Thread. I honestly just need to get this off my chest. Just respond in any way you feel appropriate.

Pain from a stab in the back.

I regret to inform you that this is a true story. Everything hurts right now. I post frequently about my two best friends from university, an INFJ (Peter) and an INTJ (Sam). To say these...

Functions aren't dichotomic, my friend. For example, Introverted Feeling (Fi) seeks virtue, justice, and internal harmony, whereas Fe seeks affection, expression, and external harmony. These two...

You must know that there is nothing higher and stronger and more wholesome and good for life in the future than some good memory, especially a memory of childhood, of home. People talk to you a...

The bookstore will lead me to bankruptcy. #infpproblems This misogynist homophobe at work is driving me nuts. #infpproblems

Absolutely! I think a purebred INFP (Fi-Ne-Si-Te-Fe-Ni-Se-Ti) is a very, very rare creature. My functional stack is Fi-Fe-Ni-Ne-Si-Ti-Te-Se, which essentially makes me an INFP/ENFJ/INFJ mutt. All of...

Since we have an INFP Problems thread, let's start a more optimistic INFP Solutions thread! Remember, complete each answer with #infpsolutions. When your friend says you're one of the most...

Yes! INFPs love random acts of kindness. @I destroy life I also adore my INTJ friend; you remind me of him. In fact, your username even sounds like something he'd choose! As INFPs, we're...'
