I want to forgive, I don't like the feeling of holding onto a grudge and I am really not into revenge, but I don't forget. I can't forget.

INFP's are my favorites.|||It sounds to me like she has a lack of proper boundaries, so the creep out isn't just from the lack of social graces. This may have more to do with a dysfunctional person than MBTI. Looking at you...|||Sounds like projection on her part - saying something about you that is really true about herself. It is interesting how often people do that when they are judging.|||I am convinced that whatever your type is, it is genetic. I have seen the pattern in my own family, and with others I know.

I would rejoice.|||Just last night a friend was lying, being false with me. I could tell in a spit second. I could see it in his eyes.
