'I can manipulate people, and have, but I'm not a manipulative person...if that makes sense.  Being manipulative is not a natural state for me.  I don't enjoy it and it goes against what I believe...|||I asked my ENTJ boyfriend and he said None.  That's a stupid question.  I thought it was so ENTJ that I had to post it :laughing:|||This is partly what leads me to believe she is an ISTJ and I am not sure I've communicated this very well.  She has been pretending for 3 years that there is not a problem when there clearly is. ...|||I find conversations about concrete, practical things mind-numbingly boring.  Unless I am actually thinking about buying a house or a car and am searching for experiences and information, I really...|||Yes, I have dealt with people like this.  After getting burned by these people many times, as soon as I identify this behaviour I completely distance myself from that person.  It's toxic and harmful.|||I pretty much 100% agree with this, it's just how I feel too.  It's funny that the number of friends we have has been brought up.  It's for the above reasons that I find it very hard to sustain...|||Agreed!  I'm seeing an ENTJ, he's a wonderfu, dedicated partner.  He was super charming when we first met (and still is).|||The ENTJ I live with is very intense.  Good mood, bad mood, calm mood, it doesn't matter, it's just all very intense!|||I do this, it's the first thing I do to greet someone I know (and like).|||^ It's not bugging me any more than it used to.  I've just recently become away of the Jung personality types and thought it might be worth asking because we seem to go about our work in completely...|||I have to admit, I've never asked her.  Once I confronted her, in the most non-confrontational way I could, about a passive agressive email she sent around the office criticising something that I...|||I find it interesting that you've come to the conclusion that it's entirely my fault. I have a couple of questions:  a) how does saying pleased to meet you and congratulations on your...|||I do much the same thing that Shadowplay does.    I withdraw, think about it, then think about why it's happened.  What are their motivations or intentions?  Am I overreacting or is there a good...|||I'm an INFJ and I have worked with a girl who I suspect is an ISTJ for several years.  Since I arrived she seemed to take an instant disliking to me, despite the fact that I came in to the workplace...|||I imagine this is what people are thinking of me at work (correction: I KNOW this is what they are thinking of me, lol):  Why doesn't Ariadne have lunch with us and join in the office gossip?...|||This made me and my ENTJ boyfriend burst out laughing.  He'd love to do this to me but he wouldn't dare!|||Thanks for that Gildar, no hard feelings :happy:  As I alluded to a few pages back, I actually wanted to like pot.  I'm a fan of anything used for relaxation as I can be a stress-head, and people...|||I studied Science and did some Psychology.  It was too wishy-washy for me after doing straight science, but maybe it was just my professors.  They were pretty lazy.    I like the idea of Pschology,...|||I hate what most of you guys hate - lying, unethical behaviour, hypocrisy, rudeness, ignorance, cruelty.  What I hate even more than witnessing the above is being accused of actually doing the...|||I haven't outright denied it's use|||I love the Panda!  I saw this a few weeks ago on the Gruen Transfer (aussie show about advertising if you're not from here).  They're all hilarious, I died laughing when I saw it.  I like wit and...|||I really don't think you can make those judgements without being a qualified psychologist and/or doctor and a specialist in the area.  There's a plethora of literature on the link between psychotic...|||I'm going to have to say something here.  I think what you are doing is irresponsible.  When I was 14 years old, we knew a family who had a son a few years older than me.  They helped us move house...|||No way. I'm a perfectionist and I'm far too emotionally demanding in relationships. I expect a lot from people and I don't think that I would measure up to my own standards! I have better luck dating...|||Errr...thanks?  :laughing:|||For me, I feel the emotions as if they were my own.  If someone is afraid, I feel crippling fear and I have the fight or flight response in myself.  You get better at spotting it though, it's hard to...|||You and me both.  But I have to say this is my favourite:  Girl 1: I am so fat! Girl 2: No you're not you're skinny! I'm fat!  P.S. I missed you out on the thanks there, sorry!|||I'm not anti drugs, but they are anti me.  I've tried marijuana but I can't even get high before I vomit.  It's just not worth it.  I used to drink socially but it's the same with alcohol now, two...|||^ No, but there is a genetic component to personality.  EDITED to add - interestingly enough your description of yourself could easily be a description of me!|||I didn't mean to drag the thread off topic so I'll keep this short.  Thanks for clearing that up (and ertertwert).  The compliment thing was one thing he was talking about - girls will falsely put...|||I've only met one but I'm very close to him.  He's determined, passionate, and driven.  He likes a clean house, dressed impeccably, and has a strong presence.  He's very logical and likes to debate...|||Hello!  I can relate to that feeling of a weight being lifted from you.  I only found my type and this forum last week!  After I read the description of INFJ I thought Great, I can finally stop...|||Is it?  :confused:  I'm not sure if you're implying that the fact I already think girls exhibit nasty behaviour is the reason they don't like me, or because I consider myself friendly and girls do...|||I hang out in cafes, bookshops, music shops...I also love the outdoors so you'll often find me at the beach or in a park reading a book.    I also used to love clubbing in my younger days (I'm 27...|||Very interesting thread!  I grew up as a bit of a tomboy as well, but I think I'm very girly now.  During my late teens - early twenties my girliness came out in full force.  I enjoy having a man...|||There is nothing wrong with your presentation style, from your account you give good presentations and don't need to change anything.  If people enjoyed it and told you so, you have nothing to worry...|||Wow that link that was posted with all the INFJs is bizarre, they all have the same stare!    I think I have the INFJ stare too.  Most people comment on my eyes, I've heard everything from...|||Yep, I totally agree.  I rehash things all the time, thinking what I could have done and said differently.  If you keep doing it you'll destroy yourself.    Chin up and soldier on.  Oh, and as...|||My boyfriend is an ENTJ...I love that he can immediately pick apart any of my worries and apply logic to the situation.  I think we respond well to logic when we become overwhelmed by our emotions...|||The Personality Junkie description is 100% me through and through.  The link to INFJ careers is spookily accurate too!|||I'm not sure as I'm new to this as well (so I guess the question wasn't really aimed at me).  I just thought I'd put in my thoughts - I think it's likely we probably do struggle with mental health...|||^ You are exactly right. He isn't arguing it's just what it looks like, but there is no malicious intent.   The other thing that annoys me is the perpetual neatness and tidying! I guess I'm just a...|||My boyfriend is an ENTJ, we were sharing a house before we got together so there was a LOT on the line.  I knew he liked me, he made it pretty obvious like others have said.  He was attentive, and...|||Yes I'm an empath too!  I have been this way for as long as I remember.  I had no idea what to do with it as a child, and as a teenager it got worse.  Now I have built some walls so it doesn't bother...|||Thanks everyone!|||I am the INFJ girl who...  ...Is constantly second-guessing myself ...Is never sure if I have a right to feel a certain way ...Comes across as a bit cool in social situations, I wish I could be...|||I don't like it either.  I think because I know I'm smart and I don't want others to feel bad or inadequate.  I believe everyone has something to contribute and in my opinion there is often too much...|||My boyfriend is an ENTJ and I was going to come in here and post that he's argumentative - only to find you lot all arguing with each other!  :laughing:  I love him to bits, the intellectually...|||Oh I loved that movie.  What about Donnie Darko?  That movie haunts me.|||I used to be great with money, I'm from a poor family.  Then I started earning my own and I became bad with money, as I'd make impulse purchases all the time.  Now I've reigned it in a bit, and I...'
