'Haha! Classic, Niss. ;)

Dear ISTJs, Under extreme stress for many months, I literally forgot my PC alias name and couldn't drop by for what seems like too long. (found my alias by digging through the Relationship...

Graficcha, Sounds like a mess. An understatement, I'm certain, but it all sounds like very old, and heavy pain. Cyclic pain. For the record, there are a lot of wise and healthy ISTJs here. I, for...

Dear Brain, As of 3-something a.m. today, you GOT IT DONE!!!!!! Unbelievable that after 4.5 years, your grad school program is finally complete. Never regret the investment. The pay-off will...

The song I *would have* sent him...if it worked out yesterday. But it didn't. It ended, instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohRa6jWdosU

Dear ISTJ, I can't believe how everything just ended today. That was the worst way to treat someone who just admitted they had feelings for you. Sarcasm after honesty? For all the kind, random,...

Dear ISTJs, I had a cup of coffee smiling and thinking on our sibling-like similarities as I came across a little comic (from another INTJ sister), this morning. Pour your coffee and enjoy this...

Niss said to SS: My life means something and I am going places. It would be fun to share the experience with you. Do you want to come along? Poetic, sir. And then Yardiff and his Keep...

Firstly, you are a solid wife. I appreciate the perspective you gleaned from the bitterness of the situation. Nevertheless, I think that what Niss said about time was spot-on. It seems that these...

Thanks for your respectful disagreement, Minty. Hmm...I am starting to see a pattern here. I wonder if it could be what Stone mentioned about the assumption vs. projection? When I am in a...

Hmm... Well, don't get me wrong, I do also judge people by their patterns exactly as you'e described above. But, as far as I've observed (of ISTJ), being in the moment can mean observing for...

Yo. I think that this is where the IxTJ divide really shows itself...it may even come off as a weakness for us Ns here. Thinking too much on the future...strategic foresight is great in...

Yardiff Bey: Have I told you lately that I like your brain? haha I'm diggin' your responses, here. :)

Deathmint It's been a while since I've read anything of yours (we met in the ISTJ borough). Either way, I followed what you, Swede, and bethdeth , were doing with the SF and mine are: 1.Futuristic...

Dear Married IxTJ, It's great that we knew each other in the past--that there was such an amazing friendship/connection there. With the memories, I am proud to see who you have become over the...

You are kind, Morphy. Thanks. And I did not mean to sound harsh here, so no harm intended. Just being a little IxTJ-salty, myself. I've learned a lot about your kind from you. Cheers! :)

This quote, I will steal. haha :-D Cheers indeed!

Perhaps I should clarify,Yardiff Bey: I was being a bit sarcastic (below). http://personalitycafe.com/images/styles/PersonalityCafe/misc/quote_icon.png Originally Posted by J_Bird...

Projections = Bad. Agreed. :( But I think the ISTJ and INTJ pride-push-pull withdrawal game sucks even worse. If any relationship is destined to fail when communication is circumstantially sparse,...

What can I say...our damn imaginations can get the better of us-- a lot. For what it's worth, sorry. [my retort is now spicy and sarcastic from this point forward...] As you pointed out, you guys...

Dear ISTJ, All this time, all the research on you, I have my suspicions that you are not an ISTJ after all... It seems that you may, in fact, be an INTJ. Hmm... Still intrigued, INTJ

I thought of your writings the other day, Pink. Randomly. But for all that you put out there for your ISTJ, I commend you. Learned a lot from your discoveries; the things you share here. On behalf of...

When my Se comes out, it really does want to binge on all things sensual... Yannibos mentioned not really desiring sex, but going out to look for it anyway--I really think this is because when we...

This was so helpful, niss . You've given me much to think on. Thank you.

Okay new question for me... SWMBO: Is she really the boss and you become the worker bee, so to speak? I really wonder if this is what it looks like for ISTJ men. Context: After me...

(Deathmint I also LOVE your owl image for your sig. hahahaha)

Your post made me laugh DMinty...really funny and SO true!! Looked like a talk with my ENFP ex...except 1.) he'd be the one with the nail, and 2.) after the logical explanation being rejected, I...

And by your illuminating definition, Niss, I'd add that if this stage shows itself as a pattern in someone's relationships, it seems quite narcissistic. To answer your question: Perhaps it should...

in the zone I'm utterly confused now. (haha) That said, and what you've clarified, I'll just wait until a ISTJ musters the ___ to contact me anymore then. Too hard to discern if an ISTJ is...

Hmm... I think chemistry can also be a non-sexual thing. E.g. a band can have spot-on technical ability, but having chemistry just takes the whole musical experience to another level. It's a...

hahaha He sells us out. Punk. ;)

I would ABSOLUTELY try an INTJ-INTJ myself. The enneagram stuff could be variety enough! I love the mutual curiosity and playful debating between us. The sarcasm is well understood. And I always feel...

:) Being a good person, K. That's the best I think we can do... That is the best profile, lady!

I'm sorry to hear about your INTJ friend. Not all of us are like that. I'd be the first to tell you I am NOT a rockstar... I genuinely strive for excellence, but not for accolade. I do it out of a...

You ask the questions I think of, but your E fuels your N curiosity and gets it all out there. Good on you! (and thanks for sharing the fruits of your E efforts with us more quiet NTs);) I'd be...

I see that you have one more thank than I do. Hmm... I bet that your meticulous organization will not win more thanks to my intellectual vanity in, say, 7 days. limitating I'm sure ;)

I can semi-understand your reasoning here, Pelopra. The NT side... kinda. I had two ENT- co-workers recently. Both, highly disorganized. By-seat-of-their-pants kind of people. But, since I was...

Insightful, Morph. Wow.

This is wonderful (and blissfully crazy at the same time). My father lost his cat for an entire year and it was the same thing--thunder and rain--that sent his cat home to us again. Crazy. Happy...

Intensity in the deep notes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j526fXDhBLc

Seems like there is plenty of love for INFJs from at least a few ISTJs here. Good luck to you!

Relationship: INTJ me + ISTJ male boss (he's my age-ish) I am the newbie in his territory, and, uh, I firmly believe he does not like me... a lot. What I did? I suspect I...

This is PROFOUNDLY helpful! The OP's questions and the answers pertaining to adventures and necessary caveats for the ISTJ = . I once took it wrong (not heartbroken, but) really was confused about...

Whimsical on a really, really rainy day... Love you, Louis xoxo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHjZQb-kGek

I also love hands. A man who has beautiful, strong yet gentle hands just catches my eyes.

I've watched a few of your music posts now... unique taste in jams. I Like.'
