'Also an INFJ in Knoxville, TN :). At least now we know there's 2 of us!|||This is a very valid perspective and it makes me feel like I should reexamine the whole situation to a degree.

There are things that will always make your heart...|||I think intuition in itself is a difficult process to fully grasp and explain even for those of us who rely on it. When I think of how I see NI+Fe in myself- I'm tempted to say at their simplest...|||I work on this every day. Mostly because when I do become aware of something I'm feeling, I tend to dismiss it as not important and just keep chugging along. It's very strange how so many of us are...|||This would be a strong contender. The lyrics show such an interesting example of Ni + Fe. She's using those functions to enable herself to understand the p.o.v. of the person she's singing to.  Fe...|||i might misunderstand your concept here, but as I read it- I don't agree. Compromise (which isn't necessarily the same as providing the most comfort for the most people) isn't nobody gets what...|||Im jealous that you're surrounded by all those INFJs!!!!! I don't know any others...and my Se is wretched. I can seem shamefully flaky as I walk into walls and trip over shit.

I don't cry ever...but often...|||It's nuts how strongly I click with all this. It's fascinating! What my best friend of many years has given me is an understanding that to have conflict or argue about something is not...|||I love this whole post because I can so see that dynamic...and i think it's a great example of why so many INFJs gravitate to NTPs (I personally adore E/INTPs).   Your INFJ cousin probably trusts...|||School guidance counselor. Formerly a social worker, but changed careers before my career changed me.|||First off, thank you for that really great post.  But what I bolded specifically resonates with me, because it so eloquently phrases why I'm so partial to xNTPs. It has been my experience that I also...|||ENTPs, but I play well with all the NTs (but an ENTJ has to be really well balanced, or there could be casualties).  For whatever reason, I like ESTPs too- I just keep it casual and they're a lot...|||Omg, no no no. That's not typical behavior. I think that's not a type thing at all and there's no wonder you're a little unsettled- it's kinda creepy!  Take care of YOU on this one and just wash...|||I would have said the same when I was 20. I wouldn't have seen it as desperate and clingy (which it was), i would have seen it as honest. It's only in hindsight that I see how the behavior looked....|||interesting insight! I was going to say the description sounded pretty much like something that I would have done at 17 or 18.

No idea what Annie's MBTI is, but I relate to her lyrics here quite strongly.  ...|||ENTJs seem to me to have the thickest skin out of all 16 types. I've never seen an ENTJ with hurt feelings act wounded. When they're upset, they go all angry dictator: I'm surrounded by morons! Do...|||Everyone is unique in their own way...I'm not as inclined to get bored as long as I'm able to drift off into my own thoughts and daydreams. For myself, boredom comes from being forced to focus my...|||i would need more before I said you are this but I'm *almost* tempted to say that some of the stuff you mentioned as your personal characteristics suggest ENTJ to me.

Thinking back now, I'm remembering her having many INFJ...|||I'm no master mbti oracle but fwiw, your posts and writing style on here strike me as pretty INFJ.
