'LOL! /holds up sign   I know no other INTJ in real life myself :confused: At least I met a number of them online.  I think we INTJs are harder to catch because we're always at home or at work. I...|||I only know one ENFP in real life. I want to meet more of them! Where should I look?|||My dear friend recently told me that she sometimes feels like she's a satellite dish of other people's feelings. When a number of people around her feel down, she feels terribly down herself. I...|||I don't know exactly what the Ni-Fi loop is but I somehow sense that I've gone through (and suffered from) it. Would you have any sources/references regarding the Ni-Fi loop?|||Ditto.  I think many INTJs lose their religion from mistakenly assuming that faith is irrational. On the contrary, if INTJs study the matter enough, with all the INTJ smarts that we have, we'd be...|||Sorry, I only read the beginning of the thread just now, so I thought I'd clarify a few points (assuming that I understand what kind of problem you were referring to).  I think the Bible is like...|||Me too. Thank you for being a good friend would even be better :blushed:|||I do cry, but only when it's about something really deep and when I'm ALONE. In public, the best I could do is to get teary-eyed. My tears are shy :blushed:|||I know two ENTJs and I love them dearly, but they just complain about other people out loud wayyyy too much. I don't think that helps anyone, unless maybe the whole world is made up of ENTJs (yikes)|||Sing  Go to this forum  Write a blog post (which just proves I don't really get much time alone)  Ponder on my experiences|||I know the title sounds much like the prayer of St. Francis (hi to all of my fellow Catholics out there), but I think understanding and being understood take on a different meaning in the context...|||A problem with the Bible? Dear me, no! I read the Bible everyday. Every Catholic Mass is inundated with Scripture. Catholics don't have a problem with the Bible.  Here's a reference on how...|||I am very INTJ and very Catholic. I think the main confusion lies in the assumption that faith is irrational. But the truth is the truth whether it be something accessible through reason or through...|||I also need to find a quiet place once in a while, though I haven't been doing it often enough recently. I now realize the repercussions of that :frustrating: An INTJ needs his/her quiet time. ...|||Most Catholics in the Philippines do not study their faith. It's a pity, but it's true. I'm one of the few who have because I was at the right place and the right time, with the right MBTI type...|||I am rather religious, but I doubt if the other INTJs here would agree with the analysis.  Maybe this question is better settled through a poll :happy:|||Hmm this is interesting... maybe we should have a Personality Cafe EB in Manila? What do you think?|||As stated in the title, what kind of men do INTJ women have a good relationship with?|||I design stuff at work, so I don't use it for emotional expression that much. I write poetry. I'd also like to get into photography someday.|||Anyone out there? :happy:|||Well, the people who give me gifts know that they're donating it to a poor wretch who can't give anything in return but still has the guts to be picky :wink: At least I don't have to deal with...|||Yeah, I most certainly am not normal, at least in terms of my circumstances. I'm poor because I give much of my income to a nonprofit so when someone gives me a gift, I treat it like a donation...|||Seems like it's normal to think about reciprocating. I'm not normal then... I just say thank you and that's it!|||Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. I meant more like gifts from friends and family on your birthday or for Christmas, not gifts from people with vested interests.|||What are good gifts for an INTJ? Let me kick this off.  I like to receive useful things. Please spare me from those fancy things that are only good for displaying on shelves that are already filled...|||Hi all, I've been posting for quite a while now but I totally forgot to introduce myself. Sorry about that.  I'm an INTJ who was originally into the hard sciences, who then switched to technology,...|||I know that many would disagree with me or won't understand me, but really, THAT is how a true Catholic should think. The term rules carries a negative connotation, i.e. an imposition from an...|||True Catholics don't think that the Earth is trash, like some (even Catholic themselves) seem to believe. Genesis explicitly says that God made the earth and saw that it was good. Thus, we Catholics...|||The doctrine is quite clear on that: those who are in a state of sin are the ones who go to hell, which is really just an eternal state of sin. Gay or straight, mortal sin will send you there.|||Are you untidy? Yep. But I hate it. The INTJ in me can't stand it, but I have so little space and I haven't been able to let go of much of my school stuff (books, research papers, readings, etc.). I...|||This isn't like the other confessions on this thread as it's quite positive, but I consider this a confession just the same because I've never really blurted it out IRL (soooo INTJ).  As the usual...|||In a sense, you're correct, but let me clarify that thought.  The main thing one should do as a Christian is to love God and others. One will be with God in heaven if one dies loving Him, but one...|||Oh, not at all. Your stepmother needs to review her doctrine.|||I've been Catholic for 28 years and never did I hear the word bastard used in even the strangest of contexts.|||Possible reasons: 1. Catholics are branded as traditional, and many would rather think themselves progressive. However, they don't realize that the arguments they put forth are revivals of old...|||Hey everyone, thanks for your inputs. Turns out I didn't really have to do much; my INFJ friend asked me again if she understood me right the first time I spoke to her about intuition, so I explained...|||Incompetent bosses  (learned that one the hard way)|||You're welcome! Nothing beats seeing (and hearing) them live :blushed:|||In Dante's Hell a snowball would be in paradise :wink:|||Yeah, the fact that he's sticking around is a good sign.  Personally, I think being yourself would do the trick, since we INTJs don't like the idea of being lured or deceived. Be sincere. Though...|||So true :laughing:|||Looking at this whole thread, it's quite obvious that the INTJ looks to music when it comes to expressing emotions. But have any of you gone into writing poetry for the same purpose? I've been...|||I'm the helpful type so I think the distinction is that I help people in general if they ask, but I'd be all smiles when helping someone I really appreciate, even (like in your case) before they ask.|||Well there really aren't many to choose from on the Web. How about these:  Georgia Lucida Sans Unicode Franklin Gothic Medium <--This one doesn't seem so safe because I find that it's less common...|||Same here! I'm so happy to be here in this forum because I don't know any other INTJs in real life. It's a relief to know that there are others out there who could understand you, especially that...|||I was thinking about this just yesterday. My mom told me when I was little that I need to show appreciation more. Young as I was, I knew that I did appreciate what other people did for me, but I just...|||Me too. I think, after working on it for so many years, I've finally overcome much of my shyness. Either that or I have more intimate friendships now and I wouldn't mind talking much in that context.|||Omar, could you elaborate more on why Ni could still be intentional despite the fact that it operates so quickly?|||Oh, it's legit, totally different from the others out there. That site has a very interesting business model. I'm speculating their performance metrics are centered around discussion, that's why they...|||I used to think religion didn't make sense either. At least until a few friends hit me with some hard-core-spankin-rigorous Christian Philosophy. Oh, it made so much sense. If you're looking for...'
