Anything. It kind of affects everything I do.  Some examples...|||I don't even love the taste of them that much, but I love the 'experience' of them. The process of making them, the different shapes you can make them, the flavour/type and what that reflects about...|||Scarlet.Black thankyou, I'm glad you feel this way sometimes too! However I think our reasons for feeling this way are different - which is interesting. I don't really feel bad that my friends 'need...|||HeyThereRock Thankyou. Those reasons you listed are why I don't like socialising with large groups/people I'm not close to very often. However none of those reasons apply to my best friends. I don't...|||I know I sound like a whiner but I think this is the key issue here!|||I guess I was just wondering if there was anyone who was the same as me so I could have someone to relate to - it would be nice to know I'm not alone, since 'society' makes me feel so abnormal. ...|||are you serious?|||Short version: I need nearly all of my free time alone (or with people I live with/am very close to), and no one understands me. People never believe me when I say I can only handle one social...|||:( hope you're okay! Out of interest could I please ask why?|||Also I am thinking that on typical tumblr blogs, there are a lot of skinny girls and not so many curvy girls. Tumblr really glorifies extremely skinny hipster girls. I think it's just a tumblr...|||I'm in a 3 year relationship with an ISFP man and I have a lot to say on this! It took me years to even be able to communicate with him where we could understand each other.  I'm not completely...|||I'm not sure what you totally mean, but yes I am very hard to satisfy (from other people, I easily satisfy myself). I am constantly disappointed by others in my life and it has been one of the major...|||My whole life I've had this dream where I move to a log cabin in the forest somewhere in north america/canada, on a lake, 20-30 mins from a big city, but still so isolated on a big property. I have...|||I'm also from WA! What's it like to be surrounded by all these analytical types? My boyfriend is an ISFP and I think I am not supporting him enough in this regard. I always want to talk about...|||Wow she seems so hard to type to me. Quite an entrancing character, I can't help but be fascinated with her. I think perhaps her calm/almost depressed yet content demeanour could be misleading to her...|||I feel like no matter what they do, they have permanently tainted our relationship and we will never be the same.   Same. I think a lot of people think that if you don't forgive it is unhealthy....|||Yeah, I guess with family they get more chances than other people but just because they're family doesn't mean I'll continue to put up with it. It does make it difficult though when you have to keep...|||Well explained! I do agree with the 'why' of behaviour. Your intentions are more important than the result of an action. But I still think I got that a lot from my parents. Not every thing they...|||Me too, when someone crosses one of my loved ones I give them absolutely zero mercy.|||When someone who crossed me experiences negative fate of their own, I find it hard to feel very negatively towards them, because I guess they got what they deserved (although this may sound a little...|||Why? Please explain. Are you suggesting personality is purely inborn?  I think behaviour is part of personality. If your parents always made you clean up after yourself and you grow up to be a...|||Exactly. It's not like I will NEVER forgive, but you will need to prove to me you're sorry and you won't do things of that sort again. This basically never happens so I guess that's why I say I don't...|||This is very interesting. By this definition I guess I don't forgive. I let it go in my mind and it doesn't cause me anguish or pain in years to come. But I do hold on to emotional hostility towards...|||All the responses so far have said they would be happy with their child no matter what. What if you were forced to choose? I feel like life might be easier for ES types or maybe Ts in a lot of...|||I disagree. I asked this question hypothetically - of course I would completely accept any child for whoever they were, no matter how difficult that may be.  However, one of my primary roles as a...|||That's so true thank you for this insight|||This is kind of getting off-topic as my purpose was to see if I'm alone in this among infjs, but I'd like to talk about what you said nonetheless!   Yes, many times with several people. People...|||I thought about this question for years and then realised that I would never be happy being anything but a mother. Dedicating my life to positively shaping others, helping them become strong,...|||I get so fiery and passionate!! Not usually to their face unless it's a 'repeat offence' though haha|||Oh no, definitely if it was something trivial then I wouldn't care.

But if someone even did something semi-trivial like made some...|||I love being an infj and I think I would want any child of mine to be infj or intj because I think that's how I would get along with them/understand them/be able to support them the most (and think...|||I know there are old threads on INFJs and forgiveness, but reading through them, nearly all infjs said that they can't help but forgive?
