Also, people who try really hard to be...|||I feel like I can take a joke and I do like joking around with others, as well.  But if I feel like someone is constantly making jokes at my expense, that's when I need to confront that person.  And...|||I'm sorry to say this, since I don't know you're friend, but she seems rude. She knows that you feel uncomfortable when she continuously makes fun of the things that you like, yet she still does it....|||I think I found this site through Yahoo, as well.

Poeple I have been around have told me so much stuff about themselves that I could easily use that against them if I really wanted, too. A lot of people just talk way too much...|||I am really bad at expressing myself through verbal communication.  I feel much more comfotable using written communication because then I can gather and organize my thoughts and edit if need be.  I...|||I don't think that he deserves any sympathy.

That man abused his own daughter over a long period of time with no regard for her piece of mind and the trauma being done to her. He basically took her innocence and sense of...|||I'm really awful about getting back to people when they call, even though I know that it is rude.  I think that people appreciate timely communication and will eventually get annoyed if they feel...|||I can be difficult to read, too. Most of the time I don't smile or laugh when I'm around other people.  I smile and laugh when I am  around family or people I feel very comfortable with, but for the...|||I knew a coworker who I felt was sadistic in a subtle way.

That example you gave and your explanation, is exactly what I meant about people simply giving feedback/advice or just listening,  instead of making people feel incompetent.|||Well, I do agree with you about already being aware/hyperware of flaws, so outside criticism isn't much of a surprise.|||So I have been slowly making my way through the INFP threads. The one thing that I keep coming across is that INFPs don't like criticism and take it very personally, so you have to treat them with...|||Thanks.
