Diplomats INFP

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

'I don't... really know where to start with this. Not to be rude, but I'm not sure you're really questioning if all INFPs love blindly and purely but rather if your personal situation makes sense or...

People are self-interested and care primarily about themselves. Just look at yourself now. You're not asking what you can do to make yourself more valuable to your friends, you're upset because you...

Yesss, I got Kali. She's always been the one I related to most (if I were of a more godly disposition). Fun Hinduism lesson: Why is Kali often depicted with her tongue out?

I'm in my early 20s and my husband is over 10 years older. It's working well. Previous crushes have always been older by a few years except in one instance, but to be honest that one was purely a...

I interview quite well. I've been offered a job every time I've gone for a face-to-face interview, and only lost one when it was a phone interview... possibly because I couldn't get a better read on...

Other people have given some great advice, but just to throw a new thought out there... might he be gay? I'm in no way suggesting a guy who turns down a women is automatically gay, just thought that...

I was a bit of roughhousing type when I was in grade school. In a way that helped me because I was directing my energy in a fairly safe, responsible way. As time went on I can think of two...

Don't think this is a type-related thing as either way could be seen as INFP-ish. For me personally I do make characters similar to myself. I like the escapism and imagining what I'd do in another...

Yes and no... a situation like this came up recently and in general, I'm actually receptive to unsolicited advice. The reason is that it's such a rare occasion for me to go out of my way to seek...

Classic F/T divide, I suppose. I don't hang around many ENTJs but I do have an INTJ buddy who I used to get cut by verbally. Note the part I highlighted in bold and realize that this isn't only...

Well... g_w gave some great points to look for if the guy really is INTJ, but frankly I'd be surprised with the sort of flirting he's been doing. It sounds very direct and sexual. I've heard INTJs...

Yes, you make good points. I'd love to highlight the if they're careful. I enjoy being able to express my thoughts and emotions in a safe environment. In fact, particularly since it's not my...

I would like them to know that sometimes, the best way to help me is by not trying to help me. I will deal with things on my own time, and while I appreciate support, 99% of the time I end up solving...

I had a very close friend (so close we almost ended up together) who tested as ESTJ, but I highly suspect he was actually an ESFJ. So I suppose I would give an ESTJ a chance, but he/she would have...

Be sure to let us know when you succeed, as I'm sure you'll have a massive flock of INFPs vying for your attentions! Aw, thank you for answering this, but I'm almost 100% sure he doesn't have...

What is your type? INFP On a scale of 1 to 10 (1= low, 10= high), how confident are you that you actually are the type you say you are? 10 What other types have you tested as, or have...

*de-lurks* May I ask if this is annoying for you or feels insincere somehow? I've recently noticed that an INTJ friend has become almost alarmingly good at anticipating my emotional reactions, where...

I do like most Disney movies (despite some problematic themes), though I've always tended to sympathize with/prefer the villains rather than the main characters. I feel like they're constantly...

I think saying we have to destroy ourselves is not at all equivalent to facing reality. Yes, it's stressful and fairly draining for us to grow up and have to face bills, rent payments and boring...

I'm atheist, so if I had to officially follow a religion it would be Satanism, since they're atheists also. (And yes, I'm being serious. Quite an interesting/fairly positive philosophy they...

OP, you are me! I hope more people respond to this because I could really use any insights as well. This is going to sound so nerdy, but sometimes I literally have to make a list of things to talk...

That was hilarious! So true. Much better video to represent us I think, thank you.

Yes, but due to indecision and overthinking things at times, sometimes being rushed is good for me.

How long is it going to take?

Wow, that is disturbing and creepy. Thanks for the nightmares. Looks like Gollum got into the toothpaste, haha.

Hrm. No, I wouldn't consider just checking in creepy. I haven't heard of this sort of behavior from INFPs. But this - makes me think you at least might be able to get an answer through some...

I generally dislike physical affection unless it's from my husband or friends/family I'm very close with. Even then, if it goes on for too long (like mother petting my hand, friend leaning against...

It's kind of hard to give advice knowing nothing about the women in question or details about your relationships. All I can say is that, if the three women you've known are indeed INFP, they could be...

Er, what? Way to make a sweeping generalization. From what I hear in the INTJ forum many of them are quite fond of INFPs. I've seen tons of threads discussing the natural connection between these...

Yeah, sorry... but I agree with Katfeather on this one. It's strange that he would initiate everything, say he had a great time, then go AWOL, but if he's not responding after repeated attempts to...

Wow, I really like your music and art. It's whimsical, energetic and somehow nostalgically modern, if that makes any sense. I feel like it could be used in a video game, just because it's really good...

I know this isn't what you asked for specifically, but if I might contribute an opinion - I think if you want to draw the stereotype of each type it isn't so much about determining the most common...

Pardon me, I know I'm not the poster you're replying to, but as another INFP who might be of assistance... this is not the case with me at all. However it sounds like your INFP is indeed emotionally...

I'm sorry this isn't really easy advice to hear, but you have to convince yourself that the potential gains outweigh the risk. It also helps to cultivate a bit more of a confident attitude - i.e....

ENFJ and ESFJ are best romantically (in my experience). INFJ, INTJ and ENFP are good friends.

INFJs are generally very loyal, passionate, efficient, understanding, caring and cool individuals.

Yes, I appreciate you and ai.tran chiming in on this. I definitely didn't mean that extroverts don't crave downtime as well, just that they do need a decent level of social interaction in their...

It's basically like salihah said. It's not a big deal or sad if our friends actually make the effort to understand us. Usually we're not afraid to say, I just need some alone time, but if we've...

I seem to be an exception to this oft-mentioned norm, since people have told me I come across as intimidating and cold (I'm just stuck in my head frequently). Once they've talked with me a few times,...

I pretty much never cry in front of people, so if it happened, I'd like to be left alone. The only person who I would want near me is my husband, to give you an idea of how much I dislike people...

You sound like an INFP to me. You might be enneagram 5 which would explain your dedication to logic/research. I am... it's rarer for INFPs but not unheard of. Sorry I'm not going to go into too...

That's tough. Maybe a cross between Aragorn from LotR and Crixus from Spartacus? HA. (I know they seem like complete opposites but I do feel bipolar sometimes.) I think I probably come across as...

I usually go ahead and talk to the people I'm interested in. Frankly I'd rather be shot down and get closure than be stuck in a state of wondering whether you could be friends/partners/whatever. If...

The responses I get here are always so insightful, thank you. I once went on a huge ramble about my opinions regarding certain business practices and how they affect people, and of course my thoughts...

That makes a lot of sense, thank you. I've noticed that he's much more animated when we get on topics he's intimately familiar with (which is understandable), but I was unsure how he viewed less...

Do you guys enjoy listening to what's going on in people's lives? (People you at least somewhat approve of, that is.) I've heard conflicting opinions on this topic - on one hand you don't like...

First off, I'm sorry you're dealing with all this and I hope things turn out well for you and your family. But - I'm a little confused as to how your parents propose you move on? You're only...

Frankly I would be overjoyed if someone came out and said they had feelings for me, because then I wouldn't be left biting my nails and obsessing over whether there's something there or not. I've...

I completely agree with Cobalt in saying that love is a decision. The way I define it is choosing to act in the best interest of the loved individual/always considering their needs, even above your...'
