'If it's significant to my life or to the lives of those I care about (that is, immediate family) then I absolutely cannot leave it. If it's something I realise, as you say, on a subconscious level...
Just started university last month, I'm studying Developmental Psychology.
Probably because we don't want to. I've found myself relying on my empathy time and time again because it has helped me avoid my own feelings -- it's easy to be angry with someone else than my sad...
How do you deal with your loneliness? I don't. I either avoid it or force myself to accept it because there's no other way. How extreme is it? You wouldn't believe me if I told you. I went...
That I can't get attached to anyone because everyone leaves in the end, no matter how much you think you love them.
Two though I'm trying to distance myself from them because things just aren't what they used to be.
A swiss army knife
I didn't realise it was depression.
Care to elaborate on the Fe off-switch?? I could reeeally use one! I've found my off-switch to be meditation. I can't remember the last time I've felt so calm, and I've only been practising for a...
Crying. It's a new one. Almost every night for the past 5/6 weeks all I seem to do before I go sleep is cry. It's strange. My life is nearly perfect but I feel so much anger and resentment toward...
Why do you hate me? Why are you doing this to me? If you're meant to be so benevolent then why put humans through the shit you put us through? What's your end goal? Who are you?
Boyfriend - INTJ Best friends - ESTP + ESFJ
I pace. A LOT. Whether it's side to side or in circles, I have to pace if I'm waiting for something (i.e. train) or someone. My sisters and friends tell me off about it whenever I do, but I can't...
A break.
Don't be so hard on yourself. While being an INFJ might seem fulfilling and almost idealistic, it's also very, very damaging to the INFJ's mental health. (I hold the Fe/Ti conflict responsible.)...
I'd want to know why they feel that way and then if I can't/don't want to fix my mistake then I'd just leave it. I can be a cold hearted bitch when I want to/feel the need to. ;) People hating me...
There's a difference between strong empathy/avoidance and addiction. I totally relate to what you say about suffering (as I'm sure most, if not, all INFJs would) to an extent that is probably unheard...
I don't think it's an INFJ thing as much as it is a human thing. Find out the root of your problems, seek professional help if you need to. Personality type most probably won't be able to tell you...
No, just no. It's a curse more than a blessing Right now, I've come to a point in my life where I can't tell whether I'm suffering from some form of depression (possibly bipolar) or whether it's...
Definitely. Every single day, from the minute I wake to the moment I sleep I wish for something like this to happen. If I got the chance I would take it. Knowing what paths life takes me down is all...
I'm currently in a relationship with an INTJ and I don't think I'll ever say it until he does. Well, that is, if he does (which I hope he does!) Is this a bad idea?
Start off small: dominate media, politics and finance (in that order, or maybe even politics, media and then finance). After that you have pretty much 3/4 of the world's population in your hands and...
I'm 18yo, my closest friend became my first boyfriend just over three weeks ago. (=
Huge fan depending on the person giving it. My boyfriend is one of two people (the other being my sister who was the only one to hug me regularly as a kid but that stopped years ago) who I feel...
My unofficial relationship with the most awesomest INTJ in the world became official on new years eve. :kitteh:
He seems to block me out a lot Has he been doing this since the beginning of the relationship or is this a more recent thing? If he's been doing it since the beginning then I wouldn't worry if I...
Finding love, then losing it -- ultimately, growing alone.
My sister gave me a good talking to. Of all the things she said - and she said A LOT - the few things that stuck were: Stop feeling sorry for yourself. No one cares about you. No one cares...
When it brings justice. Poetic justice is my first name, middle name, last name, and all of the above. If you inflict any kind of pain upon my family/friends/innocent people then expect me to...
You overcame it?! :shocked: Tell us! Tell us how!:crazy:
Be with the one who makes me feel like I belong.
Broccolini:crazy:
I need to find a quiet place to hang out. =/ When I have free lessons at college I spend them in our lunch hall where very few people go so it's beautifully quiet most of the time but now I need a...
Don't be yourself. :wink: I'm sure you've heard before that INFJs have this sort of 'chameleonic power' so what I would do if I were in your position is observe for a few minutes, decide who/what...
Oh my goodness, yes. My best friend (ESTP) stopped talking to me for three months because of it. I remember her exact words being will you stop being so teacher-like? That hurt. I don't know...
I don't. I rely on suppression. Is that bad? Suppression is the only way I know to stop myself from descending into total INFJ darkness and having that mental blackout that we can have when the...
I can count on one hand the number of people I can explain myself to, and funnily enough my family aren't any of them.

I want a burger and a potato waffle. Ooh and Burger King fries would be good too. Mmmmm the heart wants what the heart wants! But sadly the eyes need rest so the mind shall sleep. It's going to be a...

I can't explain why yet, but it most definitely would be this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMPGQHqsnyA
Do you believe in the afterlife? Yup Do you think human beings have a soul? Yup Will some of us be punished for what we have done in this life? Nope. Well, I like to believe that we won't.
Literally every single morning with sincere feeling... Awwww god no! Why would you wake me up?! I am not in the mood to go through with this shit [life] anymore! Just kill me now, please! I haven't...
When I used to have friends... my ex-best friends were ESTP and xSFJ. Now I probably only have one person who I consider a friend and he's an INTJ. (I have high expectations from 'friends' and...

Black, black, black, and more black. If I were a character in one of those cartoons where the characters wear the same clothes in every episode, like The Simpsons or Family Guy, then I'd have my...
We love maintaining harmony so we can appear soft hearted, but when that harmony crumbles it's not rare for the INFJ to get their bitch on. :wink: If anyone hurts my family or friends, I'm the...
