'I don't mind you resurfacing this at all. I appreciate your analysis. Yay for the ISTJs and their questions!
I love fall. The colors, the holidays coming, school, warmer clothes... But winter is too cold. And the snow makes it hard to get around.
I have one really close, non-related friend who I spend a lot of time with. I am very good friends with my family, especially my mom, sister and Grandma. I have a couple of good friends who I Skype...
Humility and joy.
I just read this simple but profound list about letting go of people who are no longer a good part of your life. I think that as ISFJ's, one of our biggest difficulties is hanging onto bad...
ISFJ's are an interesting mix of outer and inner. We are balanced, or unbalanced, by the push and pull of two worlds: the world of emotion and inner focus and the world of people and action. So what...
I was reading through this site and chuckling maniacally the other night; my family thinks I am nuts. Unhappy Hipsters
I am a rabid fan of: 1. Legend of Korra 2. Gotham 3. Doctor Who 4. Almost anything from Masterpiece Classic or Masterpiece Contemporary BBC. I watch too much tv.... : P
I am a Christian, because it gives meaning to my life that I don't think exists outside of God.
To be human is to to be a steward. We have been given responsibility unlike any other creature to cultivate and invest the resources that we have been put in charge over. I like to think of mankind...
I live at home, and I spend a lot of time working on things in my room. I go to a private school within walking distance from my house, but I do not like to hang out there between classes, so I...
I know only that everything is meaningless. I am a selfish, mean spirited sinner. Material things die away. Friends leave. Everything is meaningless to me without Christ. I don't say this to bang...
Which is perfectly reasonable.
Nice clarification. That makes sense.
I am absolutely horrible at reading other people. I tend to overanalyze everything and project my own feelings onto others. : (
Thanks for sharing! I totally understand the need for communication, and I appreciate your experience in an ISFJ friendship.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the pill. I can see how that would change things. I'm surprised at how much this conversation tends to center around girl ISFJ's, which does make me...
So, I've been reading the post about how other types find us hard to be in a relationship with. I must say, it wasn't exactly the most fun thing to read. But that said, it left me with questions. ...
Never love anybody who treats you like you are ordinary. -Oscar Wilde
I walk with quick, medium length strides, heel to toe. I tend to bounce, but in more of a busy way than a cute way. I usually have my hands pockets if I wear a coat. I wear low heels or boots, so I...
Just to echo the others, words of affirmation! Notice the things that are important to me, that I do well, that I am working hard on and then compliment, encourage and ask questions. Love me by...
I really like the last two photos; The simple, clean style. But the ones before that are too busy. As far as my room goes, I try to have a minimal amount of things out. The things that are out...
[QUOTE=cheapsunglasses;12476138]The friendship became detrimental when the betrayal occurred. Even after the betrayal happened and I physically removed myself from further contact, I still hold that...
Is it really betrayal when the friendship is detrimental? I think that you might be demonstrating an ISFJ mentality that makes it so hard for us to let go, the mentality that letting go of a friend...
I recently had to cut a friend out of my life. He was an ISTJ, and we hung out pretty much constantly. He was not a very good friend. He didn't challenge me to be a better person, he wasn't really...
Dear INTJ, You are the best friend I could have wished for. Your ability to understand the thought processes of both sides of a story amazes me. Thanks for putting up with all of my crazy...
I think that ISFJ's are investors. We tend to get really invested in the things that we are involved with: work, school, friends, e.t.c. This leads to a lot of hurt feelings because the emotional...
Sounds like there's a story behind your comment.. ; )
1. I definitely am looking for the One. But I do believe, practically speaking, that there are many possible ones. 2. I think that in order to maintain a relationship, there must be passion....
Same deal! My two friends are convinced that I am a extravert, because I am always the instigator of social outings. Out of the three of us, I am the first to laugh, the first to suggest going out...
I think that the website has good, though highly specific, advice for an ISFJ trying to become physically healthy. Detailed plans and emotional memories are like catnip for us. The odd thing...
Greek homework. A friendship that I had to break up. The availability of chocolate.
I think it is unfair to locate this problem only with attractive ISFJ's, especially since attractive is a subjective concept anyways. As ISFJ's, judgment is inherently part of our character...
Haha! 6 and 10 are spot on. Although, I definitely need my close friends.
I think ISFJ's make for excellent leaders but bad teachers. Why? Because good teachers need to be able to confront/challenge students without taking it personally. Because of our I F combination, the...
When you are unable to pull away from a harmful relationship, because in spite of how things stand, you see the potential of how they could stand.
I always learned things the hard way. I was terribly lonely and did not make friends easily. I read a lot, and entertained myself with crafts.
I think I may have just failed one of my finals.
I wouldn't say that that isn't ambitious/driven. Moving a relationship forward is not something to scoff at. : ) Plus, a healthy marriage is a hard thing to obtain.
I am very forgetful, especially when it comes to impersonal things, like school memorization. But I tend to remember things about people, like stories they shared with me. But I am not messy. I am...
I would say that I consistently shy away from some things, while I make a habit of standing up to other things. I make the choice based upon whether or not I think I can get a positive outcome from...
It's neat to have such an image of what I could possibly become. Thanks for sharing!
I think it is possible to know your parents, especially as you grow up. As I have gotten older, it has been very important for me to understand my parents as individuals in order that I might be able...
I am a very even mix of both. As far as face shape, I look like my mom but I have my dad's hair texture, nose shape and height. Even my personality is a mix. I am a great organizer and manager...
That makes a lot of sense. I like your clarification of driven vs. ambitious.
I feel the same way! I have a feeling my friends have no idea how mellow I am when I am not around them.
It is very hard for me to hide my feelings, but on the other side, I have a hard time expressing my feelings. If I'm mad, everyone will know it, but it will take a while for me to be able to...
I've gone through the same thing. What is your favorite science?
ISFJ's are not usually characterized by ambition. We tend to stay where we feel safe and secure, in a nice introverted bubble where our feelings will not get hurt. But is that really true? In...
I'm a girl, so this might not all transfer. I need honesty in any relationship, but I also need it to be said lovingly. The truth can be hurtful, so in approaching him you should make sure your...'
