Defender

Sentinels ISFJ

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

ENFPs are my ever present fascination, although I quite like most NFs. I also like INTJs usually and I have several ESFPs that are quite close.

I must admit, I still don't know how to take your nosebleed photo :confused:

Something I see a lot of people doing is they make a generic resume about themselves and just spam it out there to employers. And you may already be doing this, but if you take time to tailor your...

Sure you get a degree to get a job, but employers are looking for your ability to think, because they'll train you to do what they want, not your school. And I am debt free thank you very much!...

I think there are a lot of myths about education that should be disregarded. The biggest is that you're training for a job. A bachelor's degree is about training to think. Certainly, there are some...

I'm a male, but if I were to venture a guess about your situation, I would guess that she wants emotional validation rather than wanting you to really change yourself. It's just hard for Ts and Fs to...

Salt Lake City, Utah :D

SJs just kinda make the world go round. I mean, I love me some Ns and all their ideas and whatnot, but someone has gotta make it happen and we're here to do that :) And specific to ISFJs, we sure...

I'm the third of four. But got a pretty big age gap between me and the two oldest.

Over time I've decided that appearance is huge. I'm always sitting back and looking at the details of how people present themselves, so I decided I better present myself in a way that I'm okay with...

I think my introversion kinda takes me into my own world frequently.... Well, the Si. In those times, I just don't really put anything on my face. I'm sure I look like a real goober. Get told I...

I think that the inferior Ne helps too. Apparently that gives the ISFJ a kinda quirky sense of humor. Like we pick up on things, but really don't trust it, so we play it off as sarcasm and act all...

Hahahahahaha..... I'm glad you have a sense of humor about it. Really though, it does sound that absurd, but there is a lighter side to life I think you need to embrace. There is a lot of upside to...

enfpanorama- I honestly didn't read your whole post, but I can tell you what the problem is. ISFJs and ENFPs both love people. They're kind and caring and both have a way of getting people to open...

Dude! You need to stop hating on yourself. Bottomline! Stop it! I guarantee you are imagining people think worse of you than they really do. So they get a little overloaded with you now and...

Amen to that! Lots of talking it out to find some reason to it (which ends up being a reason that probably makes no sense to anyone else). Honestly, I carry the feelings with me in some buried part...

Welcome.... And I'd be willing to bet you're an ENFJ.... ENFP may sound right sometimes, but what NF doesn't feel like they can connect to anything, right? Anyhow, welcome and hope you find a niche.

I think you really nailed a reason why we have the potential to be really out going. The Si and the Fe is really an advantage to me. I actually know several ESFPs and they love attention, but they...

I really enjoy darkness. I think people all too often overlook many of the harsh realities they themselves face or others are facing and I love an artistic portrayal of that. There is certainly...

I've got a really good friend that is an INTJ. We have some pretty good times and laugh like crazy when we get talking. In serious times, we both process things in such different ways, that I feel...

I'm a fan of irony! And there's nothing like a good story teller. Love a good story with humor mixed in there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qp1b1Lq0Vs

Couple interesting things here. 1) Totally feel ya on the feeling older thing, as a kid. I think that comes from the SJ sense of propriety (which was pointed out) 2) The being able to be childish...

@ isfjfan, kinda a crappy situation for you, my friend. The more I experience, the more I realize a lot of people don't have the introspective skills they need to move on from the things that went...

(in reference to the ENFP one....) You're right, the problem with the ENFP one is that none of those spectacular projects would ever get completed without another type being there.

INFJs pretty much don't exist. So you're probably an ISFJ. I have the same issue. I often come up as INFJ, but you have to understand that the introverted sensing function comes across as...

Beautiful and simple! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLrSbO2ene8

I'm glad a couple INFJs chimed in. Obviously that was expected, because I kinda put this out there in a somewhat abrasive fashion. Fortunately, you guys sound like you're into using personality...

You mean the way I would, given just little time with someone? Don't get me wrong, INFJs exist, but they are rare and a lot of ISFJs get it wrong.

That's likely true. In fact I know it's true, because there are tons of INFPs here and not a whole lot of ISFJs, but I meet far too many purported INFJs in everyday interaction to believe it. I...

Leave it to an ENFP to love all over an INFJ hahaha I probably am slightly jealous, but fortunate for me, there are pretty much no INFJs to be jealous of ;) Honestly the thing with ISFJs is their...

This may be a bit of a rant, but I'm convinced a lot of people that test as, and think they are INFJs are not actually said personality type. Let's just talk sheer numbers. 1%. INFJs represent 1%...

I would say you just gotta try something new a few times and the ISFJ will get really good at it. We're not the type to suggest new things easily, but I know I'm always game for trying something new...

OMG!!! I've taken up barefoot running too! Although, I'm kinda new to it, but I really like it!

Lullaby! Awesome! This is my favorite kind of relationship to cheer on, because it seems so hard, but like there can be so many good things :happy:

Such good things to bring up! I particularly relate to needing to say no, talking about my accomplishments and using writing to let out my feelings.

CrimsonIce, that's hilarious! Though I'm not sure that would cut it for an ISFJ for long. We'd start to feel resented and then return the resentment we perceive exists (at least I can see myself...

Or she's an experienced ISFJ that's learned through time that it's okay to be a little more like an INFP and tell the world to go f*** itself. I'm fairly certain that a lot of ISFJs care so much...

Life is easier with an introvert. No worrying about keeping them entertained and no having to hear their gripes about being bored.... well.... at least not nearly so much. On the other hand,...

Run screaming!!!!! If an ENFP loses interest, it's over. It may not seem like it's over, because they'll come back and be affectionate on you like they are with everyone else and it will be...

I have to be honest, I can't handle any significant amount of time around ESTx.... Just doesn't work for me at all. Everything they think just seems so natural and logical to them and they can't...

hahahaha I love it!!! Hugs are great when you just have that great vibe of affection for and from a person. I love that Lilsnowy (an ENFP) posed the question too, such an affectionate type and a...

I'm gonna have to say it depends on the intent.... But in general I'm a big fan of a good hug:wink:

I'm glad things are going well :D that really warms my heart.

I know the OP probably isn't paying attention anymore to this thread, but I find this case so interesting. I also think that I can relate. I dated a girl a while back that was everything I could've...

That was tremendously un-insightful. Sounds a lot like an extrovert trying to imagine introversion as an extrovert. Didn't quite make it to that empathetic chord, did ya? That's not how it works. ...

I'm fine with the some stereotypes of gays being characteristics I possess. I like to be dressed well and match. I don't get dirty. I moisturize. I like to smell good. I may even move a little...

I can't help but laugh hahaha.... My INFP friend says ISFJs are like ostriches that think they're hiding by sticking their heads in the sand. Everybody just kinda lets us be quietly weird, but every...
