'I don't really understand how anyone with Se in their stack can be clumsy to an extreme. I've found Si users to be clumsy and unnecessarily cautious in unfamiliar situations / terrain. Personally I...|||You know what, let me just go ahead and break this down.   You sleeping with 30+ escorts will end up getting you no where. You think you are getting experience with the opposite sex, but all you...|||Go engage 30+ women who are not in such situations to get a real good look at yourself. I am not judging you. I am talking to you as though as I would be talking to myself if I was you. Having said...|||Ti had to work too hard on this post, therefore I am editing it out. :)|||I believe there's a misconception about Ni-Ti loops. It's important to not use Ni-Ti loops for the sake of processing negative emotions within yourself. Ni by itself is an information hungry truth...|||It's been raining heavily outside. I need to go out for an errand. Oh look, it's clearing up. The sun is shining through. It must be a nice day to go outside and read or work on poetry or some kind...|||I'm not sure why but after I finished reading your post I had this gut feel that you must be an ENFP, and what do you know. I think all INFJ's should incarnate into the Earth plane with an ENFP soul...|||Hello,  Any INFJ programmers out there have any advice for someone who wants to start learning how to program on their own? I plan to use different resources like MIT opencourseware and whatever...|||I enjoyed reading your post, however I think it is dangerously radical if you're truly thinking about this on individual human terms. In other words, if you are applying this hatred towards...|||Yes, my cultural background is probably different than yours and so there are probably a number of different issues to possibly deal with, but it took a long time to finally stand up to what felt...|||Call Ni flawed is similar to calling Fi flawed from an Fe perspective. In my opinion Ne really does not know how to view Ni. It seems like it cannot comprehend it because Ni does not operate by the...|||Yes. Tough times...|||I think what you need to understand is that fear has a way of infiltrating one's mind in which ever way it can. Your concern is purely regarding fear. Accept your position as you are. You are not...|||Now that I think of it, I felt this vibe off of some people and it significantly contributed to me shutting myself down and presenting myself differently. I am not trying to accuse you of any...|||I think... after reading the responses here I am beginning to see Ti has had a grip on me for quite some time! It's pretty amazing how being in Ni-Ti can really mix things up. The responses here...|||Thinking people are stupid is not really a terrible thing, but it may be short sighted. Nonetheless, I feel like the concept that you express about that being your defense mechanism is one that...|||Same here. ::psyche hug:: (not so comfortable with physical ones... lol)   Indeed. :)|||Thanks, I am not insulted in the least bit. I actually found it awkward using one but I did not really know what to do so just went with whatever came out. I shall be considerate of this in the...|||We all experience fear in unique ways, and now that I think of it, the point of this thread was transcending fear, and the lessons are still the same and apply to fear in general, across the board...|||:happy:, fixed|||You know... I bet it actually is natural for you, but you have been trained to believe otherwise. The negative feedback rubs off in so many ways, like with what you wrote. I used to do similar...|||You're very welcome. I understand the feeling, and that's why I came here to write the original post. It's taken me many years... but I feel like if this kind of guidance was available for me, maybe,...|||We INFJ's are like little rain drops trying to move the ocean of the human collective. It fights back fiercly, and we retreat, and perhaps in time, we may reemerge, the wounds healed but the memory...|||Ah yes, this is related to what I was saying as well. I've learned that even though I've been wrong many times, things I was very vocal about some years back, I find that the world still turns and...|||I removed this post because it is not relevant to the topic.|||This is something that has been imprinted into me from a very early age. My creative insights were often completely ignored or made fun of by friends and family, and this hampered my own expression...|||Perhaps Fe appears inauthentic from an Fi perspective, however, that does not mean that the ISFJ/Fe user was actually being inauthentic.|||I think you're wrong. You quote one line from the ESFJ type, one that is actually something the INFJ can relate to quite well too. Now, I realize it might seem out of line for me to say you're wrong,...|||trailblazer, insightful, genuine   Those are from the perspective of an ISFP, not that personality matters much here. These are words he's used on more than one on occasion, and I particularly...|||You threw a dart without knowing your target.|||Yea, I am pretty similar to this. I am very awkward at promoting a good emotional environment actively, especially with a group of people around. Fe is def hidden, and I can be okay with that because...|||Somewhat. Can't say defunct, as I am always aware of Fe, even if it's shutdown. There are times where I do not come off as kind and warm. Absolutely. The relevant question to that is, but why? Do I...|||spiritraveler- your friends are awful. If I was there I would've been pretty damn angry. I call shit like that out, probably often making myself appear foolish or overly emotional in the process....|||You don't really believe this, do you? It could be that intuitives are more likely to seek out information regarding personality theory (which I think is the more likely thing here). What you're...|||For what it's worth, the way I see this thread is purely conceptual. For that reason, there are no human enemies. It is only conceptual enemies, intermixed with past experiences with humans that...|||Reading this part of the passage I felt a sense of familiarity, but that familiarity seemed so far distant, like trying to remember what my hands looked like when I was a child compared to how they...|||Lol. My gf is an ISFJ... she's come to accept my terrible phone skills. In fact, she once went so far as to say you have all these magical things happening in your head, I would be surprised if you...|||My only quip is that I've seen Fi users sometimes nearly enforce Fe users to do something that they themselves wouldn't like to do, it's just they have not yet been put in that position themselves...|||One other thing I've noticed, Fi user has to have gone through the pain themselves in order to sympathize or offer considerateness. If they haven't gone through the pain themselves, they are not as...|||In my experience, yes, Fi users are more incosiderate. Fe users, especially Fe-doms can be overbearing at times with their Fe, giving help in order to calm themselves more so than actually being...|||Good lord, reading through some of these responses is insanity... I feel like running away cause it's like holy shit! Give me my fucking space!! :laughing: I enjoy people. But when I need to be...|||All I know is, I never signed up to be in a society where I'm expected to be on call 24/7. People can be draining as hell. Well, forget that, I won't blame others. Ni can become extremely tunnel...|||I don't believe I said anything about INFPs just not understanding. If I did, it was not my intention. My intention was to point out the difference in approach. In my experience, INFPs tend to...|||Depends on your intention. If you're actually an INFP who is reading up on INFJ traits and then using it as a quasi-morphine to get really nice feels, then that's not what I could call harmless....|||Interestingly, you will see in this post how the lines between me and my friends is blurred. When an INFJ is mediating, they themselves are not part of the equation. INFP's will have a difficult...|||This question is really an odd one to ask for me, and I'm thinking many INFJ's will agree with me. The personality type theory contains much depth. I care about this because personality type theory...|||Interesting. Can you elaborate on this a little? I don't know when I'm in an Ni-Ti loop. Why would it be annoying for NTs? I almost feel like Ni-Ti loops can lead to insightful things. An NT of all...|||I am entertaining your post in theory and as an idea, not for its intellectual veracity. You know the mechanism of control because you've seen it in the past. This is the nature of Se combined with...|||Fe does not read the environment. It reacts to the environment. Example: Ti + Fe user sees an insect suffering and empathizes with it. Begins considering how to end its suffering, and thinks how this...|||Please delete. See next post.'
