I think others have given some pretty sound advice. As i went through more relationships I learned a couple of things to that helped speed up the process for me. First, I would feel it all as...
I agree. Getting rejected sucks. Once the pain subsides a little, I think he gets less awkward. This is all par for the course in the quest to find love. Good on him for taking chances. I had a good...
I’m a bit older than most people on here so my experiences might not apply to the modern world of dating. My first girlfriend (for one month) was when I was 15. She hooked up with a friend of...
I thought about weighing in but there is too much inconsistency in the definition of terms here. There are philosophical underpinnings to all these labels. Learn what they are or else you fall into...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hY0bFCtZbA First album in 22 years. The whole album is really great.
- Do you want children? Yes, I have 2. - Why yes? Why no? Lots of reasons, but first and foremost because I believe life and the human experience is extraordinary. Why wouldn't you want to...
My scores: Auditory: 30% Visual: 65% Tactile: 5% I'm not sure what I think about these particular questions. I am most certainly a visual thinker, but music is central to my life. However, when...
As does yours. Especially the part about the partner not knowing how to handle emotional rants or outbursts. She feels deeply and I love that about her. But she doesn't have Si egging on Ne to find...
I think I would love this job. How did you get connected into? When you say most are sub-contracted, does that mean you work for an agency or are you self employed? I work in clinical research. I...
I'm an INFP, my partner is an ISFP Are you dating/married/living together? We are married. How long have you been together? Together 9 years. Married almost 7. What brought you together?...
I really hate my discomfort with confrontation. Because of this, a situation with a coworker has blown up and there will be no repair. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk
Sure, message away!
1. What type did you end up marrying? I married an ISFP 2. How long as has it been? We have been together for 8 years, married 6. 3. Are things good?
Does being painfully shy, passionate about music, and stylishly plain count as a subculture?
Based on my two failed relationships with INFJ females, the number one thing that an INFP needs is unconditional acceptance of who they are without having to justify it. An INFP's inner world is...
This is all semantics but I feel is a loaded phrase for some people. In terms of debating policy and philosophy, It has a reputation of being used to justify a cause without the use of logic. I get...
Sex appeal to me has mostly to do with a quirky, clever and witty sense of humor. Physically, I have always been attracted to the unique. Freckles, dark hair with pale skin, olive skin with light...
INFPs, ENFPs, ISTJs, and ESTJs all share the same cognitive functions. They are obviously stacked differently, but it's not hard for all of us to find common ground. I have a much harder time with...
My dad is an ISTJ and he is fantastic. Really a good guy. I have a much closer connection to him than any non-NFP NFs in my life. It's like he is the more grounded and practical (albeit much less...
This thread has become silly. NF’s contributions to society are numerous and are vital to the health of any community, but NFs in general are never going to be logical giants. Every NF’s use of logic...
When I was 19 I noticed my hairline started to creep back. I freaked-the-f*ck-out. I mean I had a serious meltdown. At that point in my life, I thought it was hard enough to find girls that thought I...
This thread has been extremely interesting to read. I identify with so many of the sentiments expressed here. I am so very appreciative of all the experiences and perspectives that have been offered....
Very well put. I have a couple of thoughts on this thread thus far. I LOLx92d several times at the lack of x85 maturity and depthx85 in the viewpoints being expressed, partly because I see a young...
I was self-consciously skinny all the way to my mid-thirties. Now in my late thirties I have a gut and thick legs. It happened over night. In my defense, I have been battling sciatica... But I also...
INFJs and ENFJs for sure. SJs don't really bother me. We are on different planes of consciousness and I think we both recognize it. It's easy to agree to disagree. NTJs are interesting and while they...
I love cats and dogs equally... If they don't live indoors. I grew up on a farm and spent half of my childhood wandering the fields daydreaming with the farm dog. But I think an animal in the...
My dad is an ISTJ as well. He is retired now but worked until his body just couldn't do it anymore. Now he spends his free time working in the yard or getting riled up watching 24 hour news. Great...
If I could be any type for the 8 to 9 hours I'm at work, I would be an ISTJ. But only at work. I can't imagine having to spend free time as an ISTJ.
Fall > Winter > Spring > Summer. Technically, I love September to January. The holidays, the football, the food... It's the best. I loathe summer. I get irrationally anxious when it is hot.
We graduated HS the same year. I think most INFPs are going to feel quite a bit younger than their age. This gets more pronounced the older you get. I think it's because we still cling to the belief...
With INFPs, I don't know if it's so much being indecisive as much as it's not wanting to commit to a decision until we have to (call it being a bit flakey). My INFJ friend will be paralyzed...
Maybe I'm in the minority here, but my 1 of 3 would undoubtedly be attraction. Having a partner without attraction is just having a friend. I have plenty of friends and they fulfill a good number of...
I feel that as an INFP, my skill set as a parent will be better suited for older children. Toddlers are so concrete and my little guy has so much energy. He goes 110% at all times. My wife (an ISFP)...
I think this is a trend across all types, not just the INFPs. Although I'm sure the percentage is higher for all Ns. I think there are a few reasons for this trend. For starters, the western...
I have put way too much thought into this already so I'm just going to wing it. Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd Come On Die Young - Mogwai The Curtain Hits the Cast - Low You're Living All...
And give up barbecue? Brisket? Ribs? Buffalo wings? Bacon? Italian Sausage? Kielbasas? Fish and chips? Pastrami? I applaud you all for your exceptional will power, but I'd cave the second I smelled a...
That link is the funniest thing I have read this week. I'm procrastinating reading part two though so not sure if the practical advice is any good.
Like bigstupidgrin and Buttahfly say, this is a problem for young INFPs. When I was younger, I would become infatuated with any attractive girl who was either directly nice to me or appeared...
I guess I still don't follow you. My understanding of what you are saying is that the concentration of the economic decision makers in government is a completely different subject from the specific...
Maybe I am not clear on what two issues we are talking about. I took one issue to be the money involved in politics (i.e. corporate donations, kickbacks, etc.) and the other issue to be the...
I imagine he would try to cut expenses across the board. He should start with defense spending and then entitlements (reform is needed, the cost of the country's entitlement programs are not...
There definitely isn't another candidate that has made it central to their platform. Ron Paul did, but not so much for Rand so far. If Rand is elected, he may or may not take this cause up, but I...
You are right, getting corporate money out of government is something we can both agree on. The solution to this is where the massive divide lies. When a small number of decision makers are...
Bernie is principled and seems like a decent enough guy (can’t ever tell with career politicians though). He discusses actual policy and is not trying to cultivate a cult of personality (ahem,...
Most certainly envy. I understand why others would choose fear. Like others have said, fear can lead to aggression. But fear can also protect us from danger and can be a motivating force. Does any...
I understand your frustration. The transition from high school to university/adulthood was not an easy transition for me. I was completely lost in what I wanted to be when I grew up. I hated that my...
In my younger years a breakup, whether initiated by me or someone else (usually by someone else), was devastating for me. But as I went through my 20s I was able to come up with a system that dealt...
I think this is the key to a relationship that works, having similar values and life goals. This is more important than type (and its not even close). My wife is an ISFP. She is the sweetest thing on...
INFPs are all around and easy to spot. Just look for someone with earphones looking off into the distance.'
