'Oh, lol. Yes I'm fine, I mean as well as an isfj can be with a 6 month old baby and a recently sober husband who wants us back. I have very supportive family in the area. That's the only reason I'm...
It takes a lot for me to lose my cool and tell someone off. It only happens once in a blue moon. Well, tonight I made a fudge. I'm in the process of reconciling with my husband (on the condition...
People who think it's ok to dis my family. Also my step-son's mother who keeps getting angry at my estranged husband because he keeps being who he is. Which is the reason they aren't together! Stop...
This lacks tact, it feels very offensive because I worked so hard on my marriage, but ultimately you were right, though I wasn't crying about it. The complainy bits were honestly the pregnancy....
Well the little guy is five and a half months now. Having a baby has been really hard on my marriage. Actually my marriage is just about over. My husband won't lift a finger for the baby. No diaper...
We have standards and expect people to try and be decent human beings... and when they're not, we argue. At least in my life.
I only feign humility and goodness, I'm actually arrogant, proud and controlling. :-/
As far as feminism goes I think gender equality is a great ideal. In practice, tho, at least in my part of the world it means my family needs two incomes to survive, which means that I have to work...
My Ne is a constant state of fear and pessimism mixed with overwhelming feelings that I have to escape my life or become more controlling and powerful. It really is no wonder that ISFJ's are...
That sounds like a very serious and complex issue. To be honest, I really don't have a lot of advice for it. If I were going to put myself in your mother's shoes, what I would like and what would...
This! Actually this is how my friends and my sister got me into MBTI. At first I avoided MBTI like the plague because I thought it was too black and white and would rob me of getting to chose the...
Thanks guys! I'm feeling more and more like myself every day, thank goodness! Plus the little guy figured out how to nurse so we have almost erased all the negative side effects of being in the NICU....
I had my little boy! He was born sick and had to be in the nicu for a week. :( He's all better, now, tho. The lack of sleep, lack of routine and emotional stress of having my baby in the nicu is...
I know right! It would be such a terrible situation to be in, tho! Especially as an ISFJ, so sad. :( The thread that OP posted on the ISTP forum was really interesting and informative and reading...
I'm pregnant, not even just pregnant, I've been due to pop any day for weeks now. If you are here on the ISFJ forum on a thread about ISFJ/ISTP's then really the topic matter has nothing to do with...
I'm married to an ISTP! It's a lot of work. A LOT of work. I think this pairing is harder on the ISFJ than the ISTP- and certainly in my case. My husband is very much go with the flow, so he doesn't...
I loved this article! That is me to a T. There is so much about ISFJ's (and really every type) that gets misunderstood by the other types and I think they did a fantastic job explaining the little...
I wish more people viewed marriage this way. It really would help a lot of struggling marriages.
I'm not a dating expert. Especially not an expert on how guys should date in western society. But, if I had to take the initiative with a really nice guy (be the first to text to hang out, for...
I identify with most of the ISFJ posts around here. If they aren't saying something that I've thought before (and a lot of times they are), usually I can completely understand where they're coming...
Haha! My best friend already told me not to watch that show until I wasn't pregnant anymore...which I still am. Most stubborn baby, ever. Come out already! There was always a part of me that got...
Best advice ever. Actually your description of this relationship reminds me almost word for word of a relationship and break-up I went through. Only we were off and on for the two years and had three...
Am I nice person? When I'm not pregnant. Pregnancy has brought out horrible things in me, and made me extremely not nice. But even when I'm not pregnant there is a definite no-nonsense attitude...
I'm really sorry for the pain you're going through. I always thought I was a little odd when dealing with break-ups, but here are my answers anyway. 1. How long does it usually take you to get the...
I LOVED foreign languages. Hands down would study languages in all my free-time happily (if the mental exertion didn't trigger my darn seizures!). Next to that I liked art, psychology and...
Thankfully I'm due in the next few weeks and it looks like I'm going to have my little boy any day now. It's just so tough. It puts your endurance to the test! I thought I had way more than I do.
I hate everyone. I hate everything. I complain all the time. I don't care about how anyone feels but me. Which my Fe sends me into random bursts of guilt for, and then I go back to being...
Dear everyone who wants or needs something from me, Screw you. Sincerely, An ISFJ
I'm a wife and soon to be mother. (Come on, baby, you can come out now, really!) As a wife I look at it as my duty to keep my husband content and maintain a healthy relationship. I'm a type 6,...
I don't like the set-up for most online dating sites- but I was extremely extremely picky about who I dated. And one of my rules for myself was that I had to know them in person, lol, which ruled out...
I write angry letters to the person who ticked me off. In them I'm just honest about how I feel and why I think they were wrong. I never send them- unless it was my husband that did it. Poor guy. He...
It's not a quality of ISFJ's per se, but it is a common problem for us. It's found more when we're unhealthy, unstable, or immature. It's no more a quality of ISFJ's than vulgarity is a quality of...
Dear XSXJ, :'( -An ISFJ
Dear ISTP, Can you please be a little more reliable? Sincerely, An ISFJ
I think I'm on the edge of a mental crisis.
My best friend is an ENFP, we've been friends for a long time. We don't see eye to eye on many things, but we're both pretty open to not having to agree about things. I help her be a little more...
I don't like every INFP I know, but my dad was one and he was my favorite person. :) I think INFP's have a surprising capacity to be incredibly special and touching people. But a few of the ones I...
I'm fairly attractive and very petite. For most of my adult life, I get compliments on my appearance when I go to the grocery store, while I'm working, when I go out to eat, etc. I would put myself...
Yes, that is almost an exact description of how I learn. I attribute my success learning foreign languages easily to Ti.
Dear INFP, I love you. I love you so so much and I can't believe you're gone. I just want you to hold me like you did when I was a little girl and tell me it will be ok, Daddy's here, you're gonna...
Lol! I shouldn't have said bashing, I was just being overly sensitive. The comment rubbed me the wrong way, is all, but I doubt they meant any harm by it. And I happen to agree about our type! I'm...
I don't aspire to any leadership anything, but when my bosses aren't around, my coworkers frequently ask me what they should do, or how they should do it. Being confident in my job seems to make...
Darn straight! I must say the biggest pro of pregnancy thus far is that my moodiness is making me stand up for myself a lot more. I don't want to take crap from people- I take enough of it from my...
I get along way better with men than women. In general I can't stand girl's drama. My best friend has always been female, tho, because my culture just doesn't let met and women get super close like...
Dear ISFJ, Get a grip, stop being so selfish, start being self-sacrificing, and develop some compassion! Goodness, I'm getting sick of you. Sincerely, an ISFJ
I saw this on the ISTJ forum and I had a lot of fun reading through their love stories. Since we ISFJ's are so romantic at heart (or at least I am.) I thought this would be fun! Sorry if someone...
My brother in law is an ISTJ and my sister is an INFJ. Me and twinnie (my sister) were very very close to a young couple that lived across the street from us when we were in our late teens. When we...
Dear Life, I hate you. Sincerely, an ISFJ
I spent a good five years in extreme pain that I mostly hid from everyone. It made me very good at acting normal when I'm not feeling it. I don't often chose to hide my feelings- why would I? If my...
My mom was only around until I was three, from what my dad says about her and how she was before she lost her marbles, she sounded like a depressed ESFP- but who knows really. I look like her with my...'
