Sentinels ISFJ

Very dedicated and warm protectors, always ready to defend their loved ones.

'@Eryngo, thanks a lot for the insightful discussion! And for taking the time to write all that. I really appreciate your input. There is a lot to think about, I have also shown your reply to my...

Hello, INTP's I am a typical ISFJ and my wife and I have been married for nearly 5 months. Before that we were dating for 2 years, so we know each other quite well. Well, if any one can ever fully...

If I would be in his place and would be displaying a reaction like this, I would probably need affirmation about the relationship. You see, ISFJs are hyperloyal and the worst thing to them is letting...

OOOH you are SOOOO teasing me - I love baking! Teasing me to try and make it myself - I will probably not eat it though its too unhealthy!!

I agree with this comment. So far the reseach I have conducted shows that it is an ISFJ who would be a perfect match (dual) for an ENTJ. :)

I am so sorry to hear about your family conditions :( I can only imagine how heavy this must have been on you all this time. It's like you have been hoping and thinking and relying on different...

This is very true to me and to many other ISFJ's. Being an emotional person, we often need to process our feelings extravertedly. But being so sltruistic does not allow us to do so every time,...

As an ISFJ, I am extremely organized and scheduled. At the same time, just like you yourself have noted, the emotions are there, tucked away beneath the surface, rigorously bubbling and certainly not...

On that beautiful day when I first had met you I had promised myself I will never forget you. Gentle smile on your face, waves of beautiful hair... You just blew me away, all I could do was...

Awwww!!!!! :kitteh: You are such a darling, Justsomeone!! :tongue::wink: Thanks for showing appreciation!:crazy:

Oh, this is soooo me! :sad:

Ok, then what do you think about deadlines?

I fell that you have been too overwhelming for the guy here. :) I mean, it sounds like he is the only person in your life! DO you have any other friends, both men and women? As far as an ISFJ goes,...

Can I join the siblings' ranks? :tongue:

Are ISFJ less sexually permissive? I am still a virgin, but I know what I am looking for in a relationship. I am not big on physical touch and PDA and will definitely not engage into anything unless...

There is nothing worse for an ISFJ than to be with someone, care for them, look out for them - only to find out that they have used you and eventually dumped you because you are of no further use for...

This is very true of me! I would not maybe call it my dark side, but I would say this is a pain in the butt every day. I used to think that I am a good people-reader in the past. But I came to...

I feel you - it can be totally frustrating, and although ISFJ's are generally very reliable, being reliable with so many people actually scatters us all over the place, bringing our reliability to...

How busy do you like to be?

First of all, welcome to the ISFJ forums! Hope you like your stay here! I have to say, (1) and (3) are spot-on for me! I am exactly like this - a little anxious about important conversations and...

If you will not enjoy yourself, no one will enjoy you. The best way to be a blessing to others is to be content with yourself first - the rest will flow from within.

When there is too much on my plate to handle at the very moment... then I just stop doing everything, run to a corner and cry it all out. Then I feel better and can actually pick my life back up and...

I love my inner world - it is not like a place anywhere here on earth, but is something of eternity God has placed inside all of us. I enjoy spending time with myself, rethinking about my life, past...

Thank you for your thank you :)

Did I mention how we love an element of surprize? hahaha!! :kitteh:

It sounds to me like your ISFJ friend is emotionally isolated by all the stress and tension of your project. I don't know about you, but INTJ's tend to be very performance oriented (my mom is one!)...

Yeah - this is a great idea!! Whenever you write your memories, focus more on how you felt in that moment, how what she said/did made you feel. Try not to discuss the details and the events for the...

Maybe he is INTP, coz his room is always so messy and disorganized...

hmmmm..... ISFJ + ISFJ = ??? how will it feel if I date myself? i think... dull and boring The thing is - I have my dreams, desires and aspirations... so another ISFJ will have their own. So...

I am an ISFJ and my younger brother is a mighty ISTP... This said, the quotes above represent the two huge areas where we struggle most. I am so organized, and he is as chaotic as a milk shake - this...

Oh yeah, here are some resources for you to ponder about: Personality description: Portrait of an ISFJ Stress: (you are there too! - maybe show it to her?)...

I am glad you are willing to put in the effort to make your SO happy! It is indeed so nice of you - few people are so committed and involved as you sound to be. As an ISFJ, I can go on and on...

This is a very interesting thread! I have an ENTP friend, but we are just getting to know each other better so I don't have any strong opinion about how we interact through all the ups and downs of...

You have summed my own views quite well! There is nothing more ecstatic than living my life at my own pace and seeing how people change for the better through coming into contact with me and how I...

72732 This was last year :)

I live my life at a very slow pace.... it is a little surprize to me since I am an extreme J. But I think my J is projected outwards, while in my own personal space I am as slow as the Universe...

Use your rational thinking to help and assist her. I presume she feels about just about anything. So sometimes she will feel that doing stuff is good and fine, while in fact it is draining her and...

:))))) Observing is like sitting in a circus - while discussing is staging the show!

Man! People are so delicious to discuss! No wonder some fall prey to temptation of gossip now and then! I'm glad we have it legal here @PerC, really! :wink:

Really? I would indeed consider it impractical and a waste fo time and resources. But I guess there are deeper things at stake here - like self-fulfilment. Mine comes from bringing order and...

This is very true! One intrinsic trait of mine - and most SFJ's - is that we need to be needed.... so obviously I have been a keen observer of my bro's life and how and where can I assist... With...

Welcome - why don't you introduce yourself in the newcomers' section? :)

I totally feel you! My brother is an incarnation of Tarzan the Apeman! :laughing: I love baking... well, he loves devouring it, but totally refuses to lend a helping hand because he wants to be...

Yip, that's the casus belli here. Your post is very explanatory, and I am very very grateful!! Let's call this a non-cruel experiment - the results will follow shortly! :))

From one ISFJ to another... You want to be a blessing, to be needed, to serve and help people, expecting nothing in return. Its cool I am like that too. But you know what?.. only some people will...

... when you make 100% sure you are 99.9% percent prepared if you know there will be at least ONE stranger involved - we do want to make a perfect first impression don't we! ;)

Thanks! Yeah so far I have read some of the posts - especially debates and I really love it! It's so interesting to see how different personalities respond to the same things. At the same time among...

Yeah! Forums are for talking - for lots of talking!'
