Lately I just feel like I know my friends so much better than they know me. And I feel like they don't even want to bother to know me better. And being known is being loved. So I feel unknown and...

I was always really bad at math until I had a professor in college who broke through that and taught me to think mathematically. After that, I actually became a math tutor, and I really loved that...

Just be kind to all people, generous, encouraging, and gracious. Nobody can say anything bad about you that way, and even if they did, nobody would ever believe them.

I myself don't often feel angry enough to do anything about it; I tend to just get over it usually. When I am treated badly, I am less likely to say anything than if someone I care about or someone...

I'm glad this isn't a just-me thing! Haha... Well, I took your advice, everyone, and I actually practiced smiling in front of a mirror the day before, and memorized what it felt like with my face...

Anyone know how? I can't seem to take a picture in which I do not either look angry or am not smiling in a way that would suggest I am in physical pain. And then I obsess over whether or not I am...

Haha, well, I can't eat ice cream. But I get your point. :) It's true, like you said, Clambert, life is short and uncertain. I've learned this the hard way too, by losing one of my closest...

So, several months ago I posted about this guy friend. He's an INFP, I'm an INFP, so nothing ever gets talked about and no moves are ever made. Jaytheinfp has heard this before. About a month...

I'd like to be married, if he's the love of my life, and I his. Whether or not that will happen... I suppose that remains to be seen. The older I get, the less optimistic I feel about it. As far...

One of my very dearest friends is an INFJ. She's such a wonderful, wise, quiet, old soul. I love talking to her about deep things and my feelings that are just overwhelming and complicated because...

I actually and honestly got Secure and Happy which makes me incredibly pleased, as I have done a lot of really difficult personal work regarding my attachment style. That means a lot to me.

Interesting, huh? I got 16, which qualifies me as a highly sensitive person as far as their study goes. 16 Habits of Highly Sensitive People

I tend to walk and balance on my heels a lot. Or on the outside of my feet.

It's no problem at all; thanks for taking the time to write in something other than your first language! :) There's definitely a global English-privilege that those who have English as a first...

I'm honestly not sure that English is the first language of the OP.

I don't. It's because I really have no interest in a guy unless I know him really well and like him very much, as a human being. I just don't want to date someone I don't know. And then, if I do...

Better than yesterday. :)

And I wish I could not over-analyze it when I have been awkward. It makes it more awkward. And my awkwardness is often a result of over-analyzing. Ugh. So many days I wish I could just go back...

Revenge is a kind of unusual word to use in this context; what do you mean by revenge? :)

Hey there! Different medications have different side effects for different people, even just different dosages. If you try one kind and it has bad side effects or if it is ineffective, let your...

During the warm months, I run outside because I just love the scenery, the quiet, and the solitude. I'm no great runner, and after I stopped holding harsh, mean, unrealistic expectations of my body...

Thanks for the encouragement, guys! Jay, that was beautiful. I just wish someone was playing bongos somewhere nearby while I was reading it. :) I actually stood up for myself! In our meeting, she...

It really frustrates me when someone goes out of their way to make me feel unnecessarily guilty about a small mistake I made. I've earnestly apologized, I've taken responsibility where it is...

This whole thread is so affirming to me! I'm not exactly a tomboy but I did spend a lot of time on my mountain bike as a little girl, and climbing trees, and I'm not really girly even now. But I...

I see, thanks for the response! Maybe it's just the one I've got my own eye on. Haha... He seems to like fictional characters who are pretty mean (though not immoral). So, in typical INFP fashion...

Sometimes it seems to me that male INFPs have crushes on sarcastic, mean girls... Is that accurate?

NAGGING. Oh my heavens, nagging.

I used to type as an INFJ all the time, and spent a long time thinking I was, but it didn't entirely make sense. It felt like I just didn't quite fit it. I think the reason I used to type as INFJ...

Haha, well, once I have one, I'll let you know. ;) It would be nice to read others' stories though, and see if there are common themes!

If I could be a cartoon character... I kind of feel like I AM a cartoon character sometimes. That's kind of weird, huh?

Acquaintance friends? Not picky at all. I generally like most people I meet. But REAL friends? EXTREMELY picky. I have to know that someone can receive and just sit with my dark side if they're...

This video always makes me tear up at the end. :) http://youtu.be/lwQmDvuORY0

As an INFP, I feel like there are just so many more possibilities in the world, so much more magic and mystery, and I love it when I connect with another person and that magic comes out and sparkles...

Oh, I definitely had to learn to be social. At this point, some people are surprised to find out that I'm a fairly strong introvert, because I make friends easily. For me, it's about being...

Hey there! It sounds like you really need to get this out, and don't know how or what to do with it once it's out. Most places have mental health clinics; hospitals often do (not just for crazy...

I'm not entirely sure but they might both be ISTJ. We get along very well, we are very close, but sometimes we clash. Over stupid unimportant stuff. Like example, once we were all going to go see...

http://youtu.be/aNzCDt2eidg

Ohhh, you J's and your closure-needing. Haha... I kind of don't really want to know just yet. Weird, huh? This was more of an...

Hahaha.... Fantastic. :D It's the landing softly part. I'll try to land a bit softer. Hahahaha.... Now when I start to stress about it I'm going to think about this and start cracking up....

Hahaha... Shhhhh, Jay, I clearly can't do that. I did LOL for real though. If I ever did that, I think he would probably die. And not necessarily from happiness. Like I said in my second...

Thanks for your responses! Yes, he's an INFP as well, that was the reason for my specific address. I should have added, he and I have already become close friends. So that might change things....

Hey, so, this is really a question for the INFP guys out there... Both of you. ;) How can I tell if a guy friend I am interested in romantically only sees me as a friend? He's very polite and...
