I appreciate...|||Thanks Kirjuri. I'm a 4w5 too by the way :)  I guess I was thinking about how photography compares to other types of art/writing when it comes to self-expression. For example, with writing I can...|||I've been reading about the importance for INFJs to express themselves, especially through the arts. Though I don't consider myself too artistic, as an INFJ I'd like to learn how to express myself...|||Thanks Aeppolaen and Lavendersnow. It very helpful to me to learn about your experiences at nonprofits. I didn't realize there were opportunities at these organizations for volunteering.

For those that do, what is it like? Do you feel like you mix better with your coworkers and/or feel like...|||Thank you everyone for your responses to my questions. This is very helpful.  Drecon - That's an interesting way to look this - that my time is just as important as anyone else's time. Thanks!|||It's more like I'm kind of insecure I think and once I get talking it's hard to end the conversation and say goodbye.  Maybe I'm thinking unconsciously that if they leave I'll be left alone? I'm...|||Often times I find it hard to end conversations with people. Does anyone else have this problem? Do you think it is an INFJ thing?|||Yup, call center. Directory assistance (411). I did 500 to 800 calls per day for 2 years. It was like going to prison everyday - as if I was being punished for something.   The turnover was huge....|||Thanks. I certainly identify with certain actors but I may not be a very good one. The main one being Al Pacino in his movie speeches in And Justice for All (1979), A Scent of a Woman (1992), Devil's...|||I am asking this because most lists of famous INFJs are actors, yet very rarely do I see acting described as one of the best career options for INFJs.|||That's awesome. The Time is Now. I get it :)|||Great watch pics guys. Thanks. I find it interesting that so far the watches are the analog/dial ones. I tend to gravitate toward them as well.   I've gone some time without a watch since I got my...|||Do INFJs favor a particular style/type? Below is my St.Moritz M1 Dive watch, a Victorinox Base Camp Swiss Army watch, and a Timex watch I use for swimming.  I think the dive watch and Timex show my...|||That's interesting. It appears to be the same for me as well.|||Thank you everyone for your comments. This is helpful.   One time a person said to me that only NFs really get other NFs. So this might be something for me to look into or consider when looking...|||Thanks for responding to my question. I think if I was better at the arts I could sort of find my own place in the world better. I have an old group of friends where we have fun together and I think...|||My question could be related to career or social groups/settings. I ask because I'm still searching :)  Any thoughts or input would be great.  Thanks.|||Thanks Librarian. He really did pick up my spirits everyday. I was just thinking of how walking my sister's dog might be helping me. I really think it is. Thank you for your thought and comments.|||Thanks Jordanyte. I appreciate your comments. I think you're right about the precious memories. I'll always have those and I stumbled upon some images I didn't realize I had. It was nice to find...|||Thanks guys. I was pretty close to the dog. We sort of adopted him a couple of years ago from another family member and he was for the most part neglected (no walks, left alone a lot). We always saw...|||Thank you everyone. Your comments and thoughts are helpful. A few times a week now I plan to walk a close relative's dog that lives nearby. He's still a puppy with lots of energy. I think this will...|||Does our empathy make it more difficult to lose a pet. I lost a dog last week and it has been very difficult. I'm not one to reach out, for some reason, but I called a friend I haven't seen in...|||I have your answer - Find A Good ENFP friend. I'm still trying to figure out where I can find ENFPs though.

If you scroll down a bit she has some really interesting quotes and sayings and other things. I think you need to register on Tumblr to follow...|||I can relate to this very well. Yesterday I read a quote by Nietzsche (thought to be another INFJ) that you might like. It kind of helps me put things into perspective.      x93. . . This is the...|||Spoiler Alert if you watch the clip:  In this movie Al Pacino (considered to be an INFJ) is asked by a well respected judge to represent him in court. Pacino needs this judge's respect to keep his...|||ENFPs often see something in me that I don't see and will point it out. They often crack up with my sense of humor. I might think what I say is amusing and try to be funny - but ENFPs get a total...|||I listened to the National Anthem on Youtube the other day. My eyes watered. Something about the tone or the crying out with one's heart - or perhaps just he meaning of it all. I don't know really....|||Thanks Lucy. I appreciate this. It wasn't easy getting that into my therapists mindset.  One thing I'm not too good at is criticism, even if it is put mildly for some reason. I do manage, though :)...|||Fantastic!|||You're too sensitive. From my own therapist!  He got a lecture from me after he continued saying it for awhile. He no longer says it :)|||Thanks.

I should read his...|||I'd like to think I can go beyond understanding the functional stack of my own type (INFJ). However, it seems pretty daunting to me. If you change just one letter in a type it seems the functional...|||I enjoyed reading this thread. I can relate to so much of it. Remember, though, we don't need to confess anything. We didn't do anything wrong :) For me, however, sometimes it feels that way.|||Great thread!|||Cool. Thanks. I can see both Fe and Ni in the video. He sort of says everything Marlo is thinking and is helping him out too.  At the end Avon says, after all his intimidation, So what's up man,...|||That reminds me of this clip of Al Pacino's motivation speech. I read somewhere that he's considered to be an INFJ. Great speech. I don't know how many times I've watched it.  ...|||As I try to understand what Fe is and how I use it as my auxiliary function I would love to view examples of people using it. Does anyone recall scenes from movies that are good examples of people...'
