'It's freaky how much I can relate to this.
lol, I feel the same way. My sister is an INTP and I feel like together we're Sherlock and Watson. :)
I have a hard time with this. Mostly because I tend to believe what I hear. In the workplace I definitely feel like the boring, narrow minded one. When people complain about ISFJs, I just want to...
I saw somewhere that Whitney was supposed to be ISFJ, but I'm not sure if it was accurate. :/
Sorry ahead of time if this comes out as more of a rant, but I was on the other side of this just recently, so let me explain it. I had a co-worker with a crush on me that was casually paying me...
I actually have a pretty deep voice and it only gets deeper the sleepier I get. Although, for some reason when I talk to children, strangers, or animals, I use this extremely soft, high pitched,...
I would probably love it if I didn't have Reynauds. I can't handle the cold well at all. I think it's the prettiest season though, and I enjoy the fresh, cold air when I am out for short periods of...
My sister is an INTP and we get along great. We're practically each others best friend and we have a very easy time communicating. I've found that growing up with her helps me to understand any other...
If I'm learning how to do something specific, then I have to learn it by doing it and have someone walk me through it a few times. Sometimes I can learn it after going through it just once. Try to...
Ugh, I always come off as being an air-head because of this. I have a delay between the joke and my outburst of laughter. It's embarrassing. :frustrating:
These are both so true of my ISTP cousin.
I feel like I can read people pretty well, but then again, I've heard a lot of people say that ISFJs are paranoid and aren't all that great at it. Also, I've met ISFJs that are terrible at it as...
To be honest, I never flirt, nor will I ever understand how to do it. It's just not natural for me. On the other hand, I don't mind being flirted with as long as it's extremely subtle. ISFJs pick...
My words exactly. xD
I deeply agree with what scamper_22 said. Often times with ISFJs, the real problem isn't anything that you'd assume right off the bat. Also, you have to settle with the fact that you're never going...
I feel like I'm always myself, but I just show whatever side would fit the situation best. I might not be completely honest with everyone all the time, but it's not just about making everyone happy....
This is me exactly. Super serious until someone says something that makes me smile and laugh uncontrollably. xD
I can actually relate to this. I'm an extreme introvert, to the point where I just want to be alone for weeks at a time. On the other hand, I've gotten comfortable enough with my co workers that I've...
I totally agree. It's like we think with our emotions and we need time to put it into words that others will understand and relate to.
I was just curious to see if this was a common thing with ISFJs or if it was just some social quirk or nervous habit of mine, but do you ever find that you can't help but smile all the time? For...
ALL the time...
I personally think that ISFJs would make pretty good actors actually. I guess it depends on the person though. I've always dreamed of acting. I love emotion. I think we might be a little less apt to...
I feel this to an extreme. In fact, I was thinking about making a post like this until I stumbled across this one. I've always felt that everywhere I go, I'm just a part of the scenery. I listen...
Haha, no, it's just the principle of the thing I suppose. It sounds very unspecific and lazy. I don't really care though, I'm just picking. xD
I'm glad I'm not the only one that hates this. I'm a cashier and everyone around me uses this expression, except for me. I've never understood it.
I used to have anger issues until my sister taught me something over a matter of years that finally hit home as I got older. You only get angry because you let yourself. Getting worked up over...
All the time. I feel like I don't have the right to give advice without proving that I know what I'm talking about due to past experiences. I personally want to know that the person telling me what...
This is something that I understand because I do it all the time, though I find it very hard to express in a way that would make much sense to a non-ISFJ, but I'll try my best. Us ISFJs are...
Triple minds apparently, because I didn't read yours before posting either! lol. xD
Before answering, I should note that I'm a Christian and hold to certain morals. I can also admit to being rather insecure, so I'm not sure if my answers would be true for many ISFJs. And please...
The only two people I'm close to are my sister(INTP) and my best friend(ESFJ) that I've known for as long as I can remember. I could also count my cousin(ISTP) who feels almost like a little brother...
^This was totally me as well.
I'm sorry to hear this. D: I'm not going to pretend to know what's going on, because unless you know both sides, it's hard to say. But I'd just try to remember that ISFJs will try to avoid any...
I love INTJs. I like their relaxed demeanor and gentleness, and I find them easy to do things with. My only complaint is that every one I've met is actually very insecure. They hide it very well, but...
I was just thinking about this the other day! I'm the same exact way, but I think it expands into my other senses as well. For example, I was walking out in the rain with a hoodie on, and the...
As an ISFJ, I've never told anyone that I loved them without them telling me first. My father(INFJ) always says I love you to me, and I answer I love you too, but I don't normally say it on my...
My issues stem down from my OCD. I feel like I'm always sitting around, waiting for the right moment when I'll be able to make everything in my life completely organized to the point where everything...
Well, I get along with my sister(INTP) really well, so most other INTPs I can understand pretty well too. I guess sometimes it's hard for me though because for some types I've only known one person...
I have OCD tendancies, so does that count? I clean whenever I'm upset. :P I'm sure my sister could list all of the silly things I do, but I guess I just don't notice them. Most of the time it's...
Maybe it's just me, but I've never liked opening up to people very much. I think it's because they always come to me with their problems first, so I don't get to do my share of complaining. I've just...
Initially my sister typed me on her own as an ISFJ and after taking a test online, it confirmed it. This actually doesn't surprise me, as INTPs have the same functions as us, but in an...
Superior
I've never been in a relationship to begin with, but I know a few ISTJs in real life, including my mother. I have to say that I just don't get along with them. I think they're great at a friendship...
I can completely relate actually. This kind of reminds me of how I was getting stressed about not having photo albums in order and such. I feel like I need a full record, in order, of my past in...
Actually, I'm talking about full-blown theatrics. Usually said person will bring it up here and there like, Well I'd have time if I hadn't had to do THAT(hint hint). I might get paranoid easily,...
I'm mixed about this one. I don't let just anyone use me like that, but I do tend to get pushed around by people that I don't want to upset. I think it's because I'm attempting to avoid any drama...
I'm not sure why, but I've never been able to succeed at anything I do, even if I work at it for years. I feel like I'm always comparing myself to my sister though. She's an INTP, so she picks up on...
I'm not sure if someone has already mentioned it, but I could swear that Leonardo Da Vinci was an INTP.
Growing up with an INTP has exercised it considerably for me. xD
^These are all really true for me, especially the last one. I'm frequently depressed about it actually.'
