'Definitely, absolutely NOT religious in any way. I wouldn't even call myself spiritual as is one of many counters to the term religious. I don't believe I was put on this planet to come to...
Midwest U.S. and the number 7.
109978109986109994110002110010 Many different sides of me. These were all taken within the past 6 weeks or so.
People love my smile but I don't smile all that much these days. I'm usually the first one to point out that I'm weird and thus, beat people to it.
95561 I refuse to be afraid of life anymore.
Dear ISTP: You basically dumped me today, even though we weren't technically dating. I was just as honest in my reply as you were in your email (yes, via email folks). The thing is: You're...
My pleasure! <3 Love the pic you chose!
It really was something stupid and simple. Thanks Nubb - you're awesome!
Uhh yup ^^^ I recognize this guy. This is the guy I'm married to. One of his hallmarks is emotionally unsophisticated views. He is very socially inept and he tends to translate that into views that...
I am an ISFJ raising an ENFP. We've done pretty well. He feels fairly comfortable talking to me about things going on in his life. I have made a very careful point of keeping open communication with...
I would not be surprised if he is mis-typed. I am honestly not sure. He has tested INTJ more than once but he HATES these tests and I practically had to beg him to take them every time so...who...
Dear ISTP: EEK! I screwed up last night and overstepped your boundaries completely unintentionally. I think there was some miscommunication though and you interpreted a lot more into what I said...
I apologize for not quoting/mentioning all the posters but I'll do my best to address as much as I can in this post. It's been a very stressful 24 hours. First of all, I am in private counseling...
I did speak through the whole original post about the fact that this is in NO WAY just about cereal and that the breakdown has been occurring for quite some time. No, this is not about fucking...
Hmm...there is only ONE person that qualifies for that whole honest/blunt truth that we will both listen to and who knows us well enough and is wise enough to speak into the situation. Our...
Everything you said here is spot on.
Okay the INTJ hubby and I have been on the rocks for quite some time and it's only getting worse. While most of the time he pretends to be oblivious to the fact that there are real problems,...
Dear ISTP: Had the most amazing day last Sunday, texted a lot (to my surprise) on Tuesday and then...nothing. Luckily this girl is resourceful, and made you an offer you couldn't refuse yesterday....
As an ISFJ, I've found the easiest to get along with people I know are often INFJ's. No idea why that is, just know their type. We tend to be very good partners in crime I guess.
I can try to elaborate...not sure how successful I will be, so go easy on me please. :) Managing your expectations is about controlling what you can actually control. You can't control other...
I hate to over-generalize (which I'm about to do, sorry), but I think it's partly the nature of my severe introversion. Online communication does not take the level of emotional energy out of me that...
<3 I love INFP's. I think it would be appropriate to note that I am absolutely and utterly surrounded by INTJ's in my own daily life, and that may be frustrating my ability to communicate...
Thank you for clarifying. Two of my best friends are NFJ. I meant with sincerity rather than sarcasm that genuinely I appreciated gaining insight into NF perceptions. :) <3
It's interesting to me that NF's keep interpreting what I said as you shouldn't expect anything from people. That isn't what I said and it certainly isn't what I meant. It helps me understand how...
Me too! Nubb - Hilarious!!!
I don't like comparing morals at all. So while I agree with OutOfThisWorld that clarification is needed on what you're actually asking, I can tell you that I don't make comparative judgments that...
Dear all of the INTJ's in my life: It's mutual. Sincerely, An ISFJ who just doesn't GAF anymore.
By all means then, post a current photo and let the appreciation commence!
*Raises hand* GUILTY. (Working on it though).
Sleep deprived --> depressive --> cloudy mind --> frustration. The endless cycle.
Umm yep. Here's your sign. Your ISTP is definitely interested in you. Lucky, lucky girl.
I can't speak for monemi and her ISFJ husband, but I can speak to this in my own life. Frankly, the boundaries process was painful, difficult, and came about as a direct result of dealing with...
I have to respectfully disagree with this. I love sarcasm and sarcastic humor, as long as it's not intentionally used as a thinly-veiled criticism of someone present at the time. I don't personalize...
The original poster was asking for feedback regarding excessive expectations in relationships that weren't being met. The idea that maybe you shouldn't expect anything from most people was not at...
I do absolutely believe that everything you said is true. I think I have a pretty decent understanding of the one in my life. I am glad I met him, and I wouldn't change anything...but...like all...
Dear ISTP: Seriously. You guys are supposed to be assholes supposedly (so PerC sometimes pretends...?). Yet here you are being all amazing and shit, and I keep expecting you to freak out on me or...
I just laughed out loud. That was awesome.
Managing expectations is a very important life skill in my opinion. It's one that takes many of us decades and decades to become aware of and acquire skill at. However, within a reasonable set of...
I agree. What are you waiting for? If you want this guy, tell him. It's as plain as that. Put yourself out there and see what comes back.
Independent of the child rearing part of the ISTP personality, I actually love that they like to instruct. The one I am seeing now (I guess seeing is the right word) has me totally out of my comfort...
If this is true, which he's certainly not pushing me out of his life at this point, then my life is made. I just want him to be happy. He deserves a companion that can provide that while still being...
I know, women do not get him! Which is fortunate for me (selfishly) as it's the only reason he's still single. There's really no other excuse. He is absolutely gorgeous and so incredibly fun and...
It's the weirdest thing...I don't know if enneagram plays into it or what. I am a pursuer. If I want someone, I will tell them. I am definitely ISFJ but with men...I just, I just tend to know whether...
Thanks! Seems to be fairly commonly true for this type. I did this today. It was great. His reaction, as usual, was totally priceless. He's so fun to surprise & spoil.
It was so funny: When I pulled the final surprise out of my bag of tricks. (Some of those little things I had paid attention to that he likes). He said: My God, Devil Woman! (Obviously in a...
Dear ISTP: I am going to spoil you like crazy tomorrow. So...sleep well! You are in for serious Sunday Fun Day.
At my age and this point in my life, I am honest but without harshness to it most times. People more often value the honesty of my insights but partly because I am as tactful as possible when it...
DO IT! :D The you right, you right you riiight one from the Ennea 5 forum is AWESOME!
Congrats on your 1234 post! I do find my ISTP (and the ones on the forums) hilarious. He has an AWESOME sense of humor and I like saying things that he's not expecting but excited about because...
Dear ISTP, Surprising you is the most fun thing ever!~ ISFJ'
