Like the Moon. Or something else that isn't what it reflects but the fact that it does.  (Actually, usually I just blink and ask: In what way?)|||Well, this could be fun.  1. I'm not generally impractical, I'm good at most house work and the like. 2. It's not that hard for me to hide my emotions. 3. I have next to no charisma, I'm...|||Yes. Even when someone sees through me, I'm usually able to make them think they were wrong in a second. I'm bad at expressing my emotions. Even when I want to, I struggle to make people see what I...|||Well, My mother is ENFJ and I'm an INFJ. My brother is ESTP, but then my dad is ISFJ and my other sibling is ENFP so it looks like that Fi-Te came from nowhere. :D|||Interesting thread. :D  I'm not particularly good at sports but not hopeless? I guess.  Except dancing. I've gone somewhat backwards in the past few years because I haven't had time to dance that...|||Mystery is an illusion. If you appear mysterious to others it just means you aren't able to connect with each other. Learn to use Fe+Ti to explain your thoughts in a way that the other person will...|||Yeah, I was trying to get that accross too but apparently I was too much in a hurry. :D|||Kind of, writing fiction is a good way but only as long as you're planning to share it with someone eventually. Because that way you're writing to put your insights into use to create emotional...|||For me it comes down to the simple fact I have to use the extraverted functions for getting more information in and putting what I conclude out to prevent the introverted functions from looping. I...|||Sure, it applies to anyone stuck in an introversion loop. It's not true that introverted funtions don't work well together, but it is true that they're not enough without using the extroverted...|||Well, this thread brings to mind an INFP 8 friend of mine. : D  Almost re-typed her as ISFP many times because of that aggressive energy that seemed like Se (which was actually more like a defense...|||376322   I just drew something and I was happy about it because it's been so long since I drew anything just for fun, so I figured why not share here. :)  It's my interpretation of Enna (from a...|||9-5-2  I came here and realized how unable I am to label anyone as weak. That is probably my weakness. Heh.  I guess weakness in general is being unable to snap out of defensive behaviour that...|||Also, ENFJs are more likely to become hysterical and all over the place when stressed out/threatend and INFJs are more likely to become neurotic and withdrawn. Also ENFJs are more likely to go into...|||Well, this question is hard to answer in general because enneagram and other individual differences play a great role as well. But it can't hurt to compare experiences. :D  My vibe to a great...|||Well, (I don't know if it's just because only people who do relate to this decided to reply), but I thought I'd just give a different ecperience too since I don't relate to this that much.

It's like... a language to all things I was never able to put into words...|||Well, the way I am sure is that it is a loop between internal logic and internal data/patterns/ideas. :D  When I'm in an Ni-Ti loop, I see an all-engulfing pattern that defines the whole situation...|||I've never written a random thought here before but I just felt like sharing, because I'm loosing my mind with my school work and I feel like this could be true of some other INFJs too. :'D  So, to...|||I agree with    TyranAmiros,  your INFJ traits are actually INFP traits and the fact that you're focusing on the traits and how you match each set of them, rather than the relationship within the...|||Well my first mode is to make the other person feel they're welcome to show me anything they want about themselves, that it's safe to discuss anything with me, and just in general make them feel at...|||Can't recall... I always withdrew from fighting when I was small too. When I couldn't prevent a fight with my brothers I just tried to keep them from hurting me so I wouldn't have to hurt them. I was...|||Are you better with understanding concepts or with memorization?  Definitely concepts. Memorization only works if it's something I'm naturally interested in and can easily fit it into a concept...|||Oh, there are so, so many! I'll just post whatever comes to my mind first. Small things that have a special kind of feeling and can save even the most crappy day. :D  - Cold bed sheets. - Waking...|||I feel stupid, but I think I'm missing the joke. :D|||Not really, no. Someone talked about personal bubble being invaded I think, but for me it's more like I generally feel my bubble is pretty much unpopable. :D You can try, but it'll just go along with...|||Sure it can occur to varying degrees of intentionality, once the INFJ becomes aware that they're doing it, since it is the default mode for INFJs. When we're not aware of it, it can become draining...|||I've kept a journal since elementary school too, though I never wrote everyday, more like once a week or two and then I would pour like twenty pages of random thought into it.

They can easily empathise with others because they can imagine how they would feel in a certain situation. Their Si...|||Agreed! ENFJ makes the villain who can manipulate the protagonist to go down a really unhealthy path and then, crush their confidence with a single word.    For the OP, examples of things...|||Interesting. :D  I never do that. I'm not sure I could. My mind is way too active, if I'm not physically doing anything my mind will start playing my stories like it's a video tape. I guess this is...|||I'm not sure about how much these questions can do either. <: D  But I don't seem to see any Ni there. If these are the first things that come to your mind, I'm guessing you're an Si -dom.|||Nope.  It's enough to be drained by people's sadness in real life all the time.

Because it's my opinion...|||I think it has less to do with being INFJ and more to do with other factors about temperament. I think enneagram and instinctual variants play a big role in it since I'm a 9 so/sp or sp/so (not...|||Obviously, I don't know what has happened but here's some generalizations:  - be verbal about your feelings and explain precisely why you think the way you think, and why certain feelings cause you...|||I'm feeling random so why not. :D   What color is your underwear right now (please be wearing something...)?  > Black and white  What's your favorite board game (or similar)?  > Well I just...|||I'm also sensitive to people's energies and vibes but don't physically see colours around them.
