'I'm feeling like I want to be wanted.  I feel like I want to hear I love you's and be pulled into hugs filled with sweet promises that make me float and soar.  I'm feeling lonely that I miss a...|||In short; there definitely can be.  Emotional manipulation abilities are really dependent on how well you understand other's emotional needs and motivations. It might be more common for a feeling...|||So I'll keep it as brief as I can. I've been dating an INFJ guy for over a month now. It started in the summer (when we met/had our first date), then we both went away to college with the agreement...|||I'm ENFP bordering on INFP, only ENFP by like 2% lol so I feel like I can help.  1. How long after meeting a potential romantic interest will you be confident that you like them? The first...|||Ahhh that's a perfect explanation! Currently dating an INFJ that has exactly that, as described. Thank you for your reply.|||I really relate to what you mean by quiet yet strong presence. I always get a sense when I'm with INFJs, and I think it's exactly that; quiet, underlying strength. Also, could you please try to...|||Hi boyfriend-who-could-be,  I know we had plans about trying out the long distance thing next semester, but part of me has already decided this is never going to work. I'm going along with this now...|||Yes and no. Depends on the guy.

My opinion might be biased though :P  Them or healthy INFPs or ENTPs. Both have awesome senses of humor that get me laugh-crying :)|||Diagnosed ADD here!  I would say the best advice I could give is to not use the disorder as a crutch--i.e. I didn't get to accomplish something because I have ADD and get distracted. Understanding...|||When I told that joke, your laugh was the only one that really mattered.   I'm so afraid of failing.   I wish I could tell you how much I missed you.   I'm not as strong as everyone thinks I am.|||A) Relationships mature with the passage of time. In the beginning during the honeymoon stage, they are filled with gushy emotions and walking around thinking about the other person, wishing you were...|||A passionate, reassuring, mutual love.  The type where I know I am on his mind throughout the day, that he is always carrying a piece of me around as I am with him. I want the total support that...|||I assumed it probably wasn't (couldn't know for sure though!)---getting headline attention was my main concern.  Thank you for your detailed analysis, and I agree with your iNFJ conclusion after...|||Everyone's insights were incredibly fascinating, and for that, I thank all of you.  I would, however, have to insist he is a J type. Gets things done quickly, never procrastinates, practically...|||Thank you so much for your input! :) That could sound about right!|||I'm majoring in Applied Mathematics!  I think it's on the rarer side for INFPs, and I definitely give myself over to a colder, more objective side whenever I immerse myself in it.   It's...|||Hmm that's reasonable, what makes you think 'N' and 'T' though, out of curiosity?|||Hi everyone! :)        So I have a genuine curiosity about this friend I have at university that really confounds me in terms of type. He is bisexual, a mathematical and music prodigy, attends one...|||I do something similar to her but can't seem to help it :unsure:  It's like this approach-avoidance thing. I'm always uncomfortable about guys knowing the depth of which I like them, and if I feel...|||I would (gently) broach the subject again and tell her that you feel like you're being kept dangling. She'll understand. We're not unreasonable.   I don't say 'I would love to' go out with someone...|||I stand up for other people before I stand up for myself.   Generally, I take on an attitude that whatever anyone does or says to me, I can deal with without creating a scene or hard feelings. It's...|||I was social, but bashfully so.  Even when I was little I knew the 'right' thing to do (by my extroverted parents standards) was to introduce myself to people and be friendly, so that's what I did....|||Massive, boat-like floatable kingdoms are built on top of this sea of honey. These are the only known civilized existences on the planet (doesn't mean others can't be found future posters!) and...|||I'm almost not sure if this is as much a personality type thing as it was his fixing something he perceived to be a social blunder that would prevent you guys from furthering your relationship.     ...|||I dated a diagnosed sociopath (granted I didn't know this at the time) because I thought I could 'save' him.  It seems to be a pattern of many of the friendships and romantic relationships I enter...|||Thanks so much for your reply! What specifically makes you say F and not T? Just curious because I had a difficult time deciding between those two letters! :)|||No ideas at all?|||Hi everyone! So right into explanation... Only thing Im pretty sure of is that he's a J personality type. He's super organized, gets all his work done wayyy before the deadline, and always is...|||Currently dating an ENTP.  He thought I was quiet, kinda mysterious at first, acted 'cute' but had a lot of depth.  But really, best thing YOU can do is make a lot of eye contact hanging out in...|||It's an INFP thing, but probably also an introvert thing in general. If you're really introverted and too nervous to speak, eye contact is the easiest, and practically only other go-to, available to...|||She definitely sounds interested.  At least, that's how I kinda go about expressing interest in a guy, and was EXACTLY what I did with my now-ENTP-boyfriend. INFPs often tend to be quieter in group...|||A couple bits of insight and advice:  Don't take her ignoring you in a group as a definite bad sign. I've done this before when I really like a guy, and although it might come off as strange, I...|||Alright-- I have definitely done this before to convey interest. Usually it's in the context of walking next to a guy and let my arm bump into his, or grazing my hand against his hand. I'm shy and...|||If we can get a decent sized group together, I might be interested.|||I'm not a hippie in terms of value system (free love, etc.), but a lot of people think I come across as hippie-esque.

With my fellow introverts, or with extroverts I trust and know well, I'm pretty good at making conversation....|||I'm kind of prickly and I bite.  But honestly; I don't like letting people in if they aren't my friend first. If a guy just comes out of the blue and starts being nice with the intention of asking...|||I strongly relate to this post. The fix isn't easy, but it's definitely doable.  Personally, my anxiety stemmed from being afraid of messing up, and freezing under the pressure of having others...|||You're definitely not alone. I strongly relate to this post.   I really crave excitement and the company of eccentric people. I think I may have unconsciously even sought out adrenaline junkies and...|||Most of the time I feel like I'm bothering somebody if I tell them my problems, or 'let them in.' I think it has something to do with an underlying core of shame a lot of INFPs have.  But this...|||I think I could become addicted to things easily if I let myself.  I am really, really attracted to excitement. Consequently, I have in a way become addicted to the company of strange, off-beat,...|||The best art starts with passion, which you seem to have---if there's passion, there's more than likely potential.   And if art is the medium you use to express yourself, it doesn't really matter...|||Money is only as important as you want to make it.  It shouldn't dominate your focus. I think of it as more of a means to an end; having enough will bring me to a stable place in life, but I don't...|||Don't quit without a plan that you know you are going to stick to.
