If you ask, you’re going to get an answer you don’t...|||I saw this thread when you first posted it.  I've seen many people say they can be friends, but for the vast majority, the Hope is still there. In the beginning, the other admirer always says OK,...|||Personally, I found nothing negative or discouraging with that thread of What Scares INFP Women.

Go back and read the OP & all the following posts.  ...|||I will be direct & blunt. Warning: it’s a bitter red pill. The subject is very personal to me, so I don’t have the ability (or Time/Energy) to fluff it into a blue pill. Feel free to ignore – you may...|||lifeisanillusion:  Great freaking post!!!

(Opposite of post quick reply.) - it worked for me, even after I went offline...|||Honored to be mentioned, by I'm afraid I know next to nothing about enneagrams, MBTI (other than INFP), divorce, law, bi-polar, PTSD, or ADD. I do still have an initial opinion, but may I ask a few...|||@Allskyblue:  Let the posts stay. Don't take it personally; they're only talking about how life feels for themselves right now. They didn't criticize your life or anything you said. If you're happy...|||I dream nearly every night; they're like movies - mostly dramas & thrillers. Others would consider them nightmares. I should write them all down & turn the best ones into stories, but I don't....|||@fallingdown:  I'm sure you didn't upset him - really! He answered all your questions without any hint of resentment, hurt, or frustration whatsoever. And even when he wrote that last post, there...|||Along the lines of what @Infalliple said.
