'The only correlation I can make is that we as a type are less vulnerable to social stigma and thus less likely to avoid it like the plague.|||It keeps me from doing half of the stupid shit I might have done if I hadn't stopped and thought it through.  The other half of the time it just chimes in late.|||Conquer it, control it, use it. It's your ST shadow and your most powerful weapon in a capitalistic world that would rather we didn't exist.|||I'm managing a pizza joint right now, and I like to think I'm good at what I do, if that answers your question.  Psst, lack of self-confidence is not an inherent INFP flaw.|||Pretty sure this is one of those things that relies way more on situation and upbringing than personality type. Even just skimming through the thread, there's practically no correlation between...|||Your problem is that you're trying to emulate other types. Play the cards you actually have; INFP's are infamously the most romantic type and it shows. I used to feel the same way, then with time I...|||What I don't think people realize is we're not all that complicated, psychologically. We like what we like. Asking why we like what we like may be unwise, because you're probably better off figuring...|||I do. I can be a hopeless romantic sometimes, and I've been told it's a fairly adorable state.  Every other time of day I'm a short-tempered grizzly bear, though.|||Love.|||Oh, here's one.  Our capacity to get lost in a dream world doesn't make us stupid or incapable of living and reacting to real life situations, and we sure as hell don't care how counter-productive...|||49220|||It's based on actual science, if that's what you mean. It's hardly zodiac nonsense.|||An INTJ, huh? Lol... bromide beat me to it.|||Beware grass is greener on the other side syndrome.  Personally, I benefit from keeping a strong but small circle of good friends. Mostly online, people I've met in games / second life. Even an...|||I drink. A lot. Cleans out my inhibitions, makes it -way- easier to have a good time when in a crowd ~_~|||God, teenage life as an INFP blew dicks.  We're a type that almost completely relies on self determination; and our adolescent years are completely consumed by a social environment that is trying...|||I tend to consider relationships a step up from friendship, so yeah. I've only been in one relationship where we weren't friends first, but that was more of a fairy tale love on first sight kind of...|||We all go through it. It'll pass. They're thoughts that have to be thought, though. INFP noggin exercise.|||That depends on individual experiences and upbringing. Almost entirely, actually.  For me, nature wins every time. Just because I consider my principles worth standing up for before all other...|||You have a lot to learn, young one.|||Both, here, actually. Fancy myself a Dom.

It even straight up warns you it's a troll article when you try to click the link.|||It's really not such a huge stretch to guess your own typing in conjunction with the free quizzes. Cognitive theory isn't rocket surgery.|||I put no more faith in religious texts than I do the Harry Potter series.|||Fair enough. I'm a firm believer that the empath line leans a lot further back to include people who are directly effected by the emotional state of those nearby.

I -am- a middle grounder on the matter, and here is why; picking between the two is a question without even a remotely useful answer.  Society exists...|||Whaaaat are you talking about? All my post meant was that I was agreeing with the thread's original post. I didn't have anything to add that hadn't already been said.|||Everything you've mentioned applies to both types.  The annoying part about trying to identify yourself between S and N is that you would try to make that distinction while using the very...|||A lack of financial obligation.|||Right there with you, OP.|||edited into nothingness rather than saying some excessively unkind things.  nothing to see here.|||Your post precludes the possibility of responsible, casual sex.
