I'd like to think that my desire to help others stems from a genuine empathy for mankind, and usually it really is. I've...|||It's a start.   Your poetry is very young to me. And by that I don't mean you sound immature. I just mean that I'd guess you haven't had much experience with learning the technical side of...|||Ugh, THIS. A LOT. I think it's just one of the downsides of being an INFP that clear expression of our ideas (at least in a concise, rational way) is not our strong suit. My guess is that it's...|||You say you have some experience with dance, have you ever tried contact improv? It's a great way to get moving and explore your physical limits without being strictly controlled by choreography. I...|||YES. It doesn't happen that often, I'm more likely to get bored/distracted and leave a book half-finished. But if I am especially enraptured by a piece of writing I'll skip sleep and meals to keep...|||z0mg THIS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY MY USERNAME IS MY USERNAME!!!!!! I FEEL YOU 100%!!!!  Ahem.

My ex-boyfriend loved them (INTJ's...) Most of them were fine to get through but some were just too much. And it probably...|||Hmmm, I always think of ENFP's when I hear this song. :happy:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7k0a5hYnSI&ob=av2n  I know she's really poppy (maybe not everyone's cup of tea), but this song...|||I agree with the previous posts, it depends a lot on the emotion and the situation. In general, I'd guess most of us (and correct me if I'm wrong, fellow INFP's) have a harder time fully expressing...|||Hmm. I'm not sure about how actors are paid in the UK, but it's really  tough to squeak out a living in the US. At least it was for me when I  did it. Your idea of acting as a side job is actually a...|||I keep listening to these two back and forth. I can't explain it either...   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9zIP4FA-1Y   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dFz10R529g|||You bring up a really important point here, one that maybe makes INFP idealizations a little different from other types.  I will be the first to admit to putting my romantic interests up on a...|||I will do one of two things.  If it's a matter of interpersonal stress (like conflict in the workplace or an argument with someone), my MO is to turn into a doormat. I just bend right on over and...|||Oh what the heck, I'm in too! This might be the kick start I need to start writing more often again...  PM sent.|||Man, I can't wait for her new album.

I acted AND looked a lot like Markl from...|||I have an awful habit of falling head over heels for people who are unavailable or uninterested. Lots of guys who are taken, straight, out of my league, the list goes on and on. Couple that with my...|||No worries, maybe I was jumping to conclusions. And you certainly do have a point about the whole stereotype regarding J's and P's. I HATE when people make that assumption about us too! I guess I...|||You bring up some good points, but I'd argue that the average Spaniard is ESFP, not ESFJ. The extraverted sensing is evident in their attention to aesthetics: first impressions and dressing well...|||Even if you be otherwise perfect, you fail without humility.  --The Talmud  I love this thread. I was just thinking about this earlier because I  tend to have the same doubts/insecurities about...|||I have an unhealthy obsession with INTJ's. I inexplicably drool over their stoic nerdiness.

I think most introverts enjoy the...|||I used chameleon because I find that socially I can be a bit of a chameleon. I don't necessarily change my personality, per se, but I can adapt my behavior to those I'm with to make everyone the...|||So complicated. But in general I love INTJs.  I find that INTJ's and I tend to get along very well. Our Ne makes it  very easy to understand each other, sometimes without even speaking. One  of my...|||Probably just means they're INFP. I get really awkward around (Insert Name of Person Here)  I'd say INFP's generally have their guard up except around close friends/family. It is true that I get...|||1. Internet! Forever...  2. Music  3. Books.  4. Talking with other Ne users. Doesn't even have to be in person, PerC has been working well for me so far. If left to my own deices I will go ...|||Err...not to brag, but I've held a few leadership positions and I've always thought I did an ok job of them.

As expected, good prevailed over evil and the two lovers were united at last. Bad guys were punished, plot...|||Hey, don't give up on ENFP's either! I guarantee you didn't come off as awkward to her as you think you did. Plus I find that whenever I'm with ENFP's and I'm thinking Oh gosh I could not possibly...|||So I just took the site's cognitive functions test for the first time.

Cheers :laughing:|||You took the words right out of my mouth! Seriously, whenever I'm on a caffeine high I inevitably end up in the ENFP forum....|||I think INFP's tend to have a genuine empathy for others and feel a connection with them in their suffering. On top of that, our interest in understanding ourselves and others gives us special...|||...you sure he's INFP? o.O    Haha, but seriously there's lots of potential possibilities.
