When he said those things, he seemed almost...|||@Juggernaut thank you, I could see him in your explanation. I've noticed he can be negative, with himself especially. He seems to act uncertain as though I may be manipulating him or just teasing,...|||Yeah. I'm thinking that's the only way. I just have to be direct about it so I can move forward, and he won't be all confused/frustrated by me anymore. We're talking better these days, which is a...|||Well he's a mess of mixed signals, I can say that for sure.

I stress if...|||Incredibly difficult, but I leave them alone. I attach myself to memories and go through a whole turbulent process of grieving. The best thing is once he's certain it's over and doesn't feel the...|||I'm not even officially in a relationship and I can't think of or even try to feel that way for anyone except my INFP. I keep thinking how hard it'll be to move on, if he ever said it should be so. ...|||For a while I was feeling pretty bad about the mixed responses, and the more negative things said on the INFP side but...I've realized that these things don't entirely define us as people, and who...|||My father is an INTJ and he cheated on my mother (which ended their marriage), but even so when he was caught he felt guilty and dealt with a lot of emotions then. But I never took it out on the...|||I agree with what Lenabelle said, I have an ESFJ mother too and the best thing you can do is to give her as much information as possible. And of course, once you are there, try to keep in contact so...|||No it means a lot, thank you. I'm definitely more the type that likes to take things slow, and get to know a person.

You seem interesting, let's go...|||I'm curious from an INFP stand-point, how do you deal with such things as having romantic feelings for someone, or when they carry those feelings for you? Furthermore, if you're in a relationship or...|||Thank you so much for your interpretation! :) One thing you said really stood out to me because he has said it himself many times before, is that he really desires for someone to truly understand...|||I'd love for the opportunity...but he lives in another country, overseas.

I feel slightly bad for putting his words out in the open here, but I just wanted to be certain before I...|||Haha, aww well thank you for your response!! :) Our relationship has always been an interesting one. It always sounded funny to me to say 'friends' because it felt so much lighter than what it really...|||It's not necessarily a poem but...you see, I've been exchanging letters with a very dear friend of mine for quite some time. He went away to school, and in the distance I feel like I've grown fonder...|||I feel like the worst sister ever. My little sister is struggling with body image issues and isn't willing to talk about it, and she's getting to the point where it's almost anorexic. She's...|||Oh I definitely see that.

It's a trust thing with me mostly, I don't feel like I can just open up or approach just...|||Honestly regardless of type, it can be very difficult to tell the meaning behind a person's actions or words, or what they're thinking or feeling. Everyone has a certain way about them, and we don't...|||In a professional setting, I usually focus on getting the task done and trying my best to overlook things and not share my feelings or personal opinions, especially if they may cause any...|||For a while now I have been experiencing these feelings of detachment.
