Betrayal on any level. My trust is my most valued trait that I give to others. You betray me, and I will have no time or patience for you. I may forgive, but I never forget.
I have to agree with Teddy. I eat really fast most of the time. And it has nothing to do with my personality. It has everything to do with my profession. If you have ever been to Basic Training for...
I am almost OCD when it comes to planning out my finances. But if I know I have the money, I will spend it on my kids, or splurge every once in a while on something electronic for myself. I still...
I guess you could say that I am a successful ISFJ, since I am a Senior Non-commissioned Officer in the U.S. Army, and in 7 years had been promoted to a level that many Soldiers don't even make in 20....
I have to say that types are a mixed product of genetics AND environment.
Shoplifting. I'm with you Crow, embarrassed.
Today I was informed that I will be assuming a temporary position for a few months this summer as our Battalion Operations Officer In Charge, which is WAAAAAAY above my pay-grade. It's actually a...
I will pray for you and your plight Introvertigo. I do not know how to equate Autism to Mental Retardation, but many of the traits you explained in your son are evident in my daughter. Minus the...
I too, took a lot of grief in school about showing my math work. And this went on all the way into high school calculus and other high level math. I would constantly fight to not have to do the work...
I'll let you guys know when I figure it out again. After being steadily with someone for the better part of the last half of my life, I don't remember. I have a feeling it is going to suck though...
I like them younger, but maturity is important, and shorter. Oh, and hugs don't matter how they come, hugs are awesome any way I can get them :happy:
I have come to the conclusion that rushing things gets me nowhere except prolonged loneliness. I have to take the time to get used to being alone and deal with that, or I will never be able to be an...
I think it is. I can remember things that effected me or impressed me with such clarity it isn't even remotely funny, and I am constantly replaying things in my head, analyzing the manner in which I...
I have a tendency to do the same thing with my family. However, I have to girls I have to care for, and if helping my family will take something away from my daughters, I will tell them no....
My purpose in life is to minister to people. I was built by God in the way that I am, for that purpose. And once God sees fit to end my military career, that is what I will do. Until then, it is a...
And as far as the fear of ending up alone, I share that fear, but at the same time you cannot allow that to let you get in with the wrong person. I struggle with that fear daily, and at the same...
Agreed. If you are going to break up with an ISFJ, be gentle, but honest. We appreciate honesty, and will want to know the why so that we can possibly become aware of something we need to change. We...
Well, I guess I can honestly say that description is not me. I have ambition AND opinions. I just keep them to myself :P
I can absolutely appreciate that sentiment. I am serious about dating and all that stuff as well. I don't function well in social situations with strangers and I do not like being set up with people...
It gets easier as time goes on, I have my daughters to take care of, and when Mrs. Right comes along all will be well again. But you shouldn't let your friends lives dictate the speed at which you...
Honestly, I worry about that too, and I think that is something that keeps my temper in check with them as well. I do not want to be THAT father.
You shouldn't feel behind in life just because you don't have kids lol. I love my daughters, and wouldnt trade them for the world, even though they drive me crazy at times lol. Your young, you...
We are the care bears of the personality spectrum :wink:
What you are saying makes sense. But honestly, I think our personality types may be influenced my environmental factors, but there has to be a lot of genetics in there as well. I am not abusive to my...
That's something interesting that I have wondered about. Funny you would bring it up Peach. My father also got very physical, didn't help that he was a raging alcoholic, but I have to watch my...
Awww see?! When you constructively criticize an ISFJ like that, it makes us feel all warm and fuzzy! Thanks! :laughing:
I know exactly how you feel. I am always running over situations and thinking about how I could have handled it better. What I should have said instead of sputtering stammering, or even remaining...
Trigun, you are absolutely correct. I was waiting to see if anyone else took up this topic before I jumped in. This particular passage has two meanings though, or two applications rather. 1. All...
After two failed marriages (I'm not perfect, but neither were my fault, unless the fact that I was a doormat counts), I have no choice but to approach relationships in an honest and open manner. As...
As a single ISFJ father of two girls, I am strict on some things and completely relaxed about other things. Mainly my primary concern is that they keep their rooms cleaned and at least appear...
And while I am happy-go-lucky most of the time, there are a few personality traits that somehow manage to set me off, and turn my introversion on it's head (probably a developed trait from being in...
I abhor confrontation as well. HOWEVER, I have learned over the course of my life that it is far better to be honest and up front with someone that you are looking to establish a relationship with,...
Haha! I hate people! The one person who knows my whole situation referenced above isn't really interested and didn't have the intestinal fortitude to tell me herself! :crazy: I don't understand...
I think you would be referred to as an Alto versus Tenor lol.
I generally don't eat breakfast unless I have an obvious appetite. I love Burger King breakfasts though.
Yeah... your right lol. We are an endearing bunch! lol!:laughing:
I prefer free-form writing. Or even creative writing. I don't have any pieces to share right now, because most of my work lately has been research papers for my religion degree, and I don't want to...
I have 7030 items in my iTunes library, and while my primary taste in music (metal) is mostly male, with some female vocalists sprinkled in for good measure (nothing rocks more then a female that can...
We all are a work in progress. Just some people have progressed further then others. No one will ever be finished though.
I am a religious conservative, but actually more libertarian. I have some friends who are UBER liberals, and we just know to not talk politics and religion most of the time, but a spirited debate...
Us ISFJ's may be quiet and kind and loving, but once we form a negative opinion of someone, and it is firmly locked in our heads, yeah, douche bags lol.
When I was married to my first wife and deployed to Kosovo, i spent more money on phone cards to call home then probably the rest of my squad combined. I called home at least five times a week, and...
Lol, makes sense that they would both be not conservative. But yeah, like I posted elsewhere, I am apprehensive about this whole embarkation process once I am ready to find the right woman, mainly...
And then you have the Pockets in each generation that are more conservative than their peers, which is he category that I fall into. Of course 13 years in the Army has made my views more conservative...
The biggest problem you run into when there is a huge age difference, even ten years different, is the values and life goals differences between the two people. And don't even get me onto politics...
Yeah, that is a little crazy lol. I mean the older you get the less age matters, but 20+ years is a little insane, even if one is 80 and the other is 60, still crazy!
I'm 32. Just turned it in October. I saw in your profile though that you are 21, my oldest daughter is 13... You were 8 when she was born... lol!
Too bad I'm so old lol. Or your so young, however you look at it. I need to find a woman like the ones on this forum.
I can't find a woman who has feelings and likes to express them! Or is a giver. It is likewise refreshing to talk to ANYONE who thinks the way I do about relationships.
I feel your pain Ozziechick. I really do. I am a giver, and I have always ended up being the only giver in my relationships. It sucks to feel like you are being taken advantage of.
