Part of it being knowing they weren't as...|||With stubborn people, I think you have to be prepared to participate in long-drawn out and possibly hurtful discussions to get them to see your POV. Try not to belittle her beliefs, but don't back...|||I can only think of one ISFJ that I've really liked in fiction and she's on a stamp in the signature (blue hair; Elraine from Double Arts). Sadly, I haven't been exposed to many good ISFJs...|||I think I have two ISFJ relatives. An aunt and cousin. My aunts more traditional and religious. My cousins more secular and academic (ISFJs can be brainy too!). Both are very family-oriented people,...|||I mean I didn't really relate to the example. Though it's probably more the way it was described, like others mentioned out that explanation might make more sense to N users.  :)  Matter is...|||Yeah, that description sounds a bit too object-focused and... cosmos-y. I don't need something physical to spark Si.   If I was going to attach a more visceral experience to Si, I guess it's a rush...|||Well, with functions we're not always going to 100% one function or another. We're going to have some Ni or Si, whatever type we are.  Now to tell what's you're primary function, just try to think...|||I feel like I'm one of those ISFJs who share nonchalantly, lol.   But there's always been little things or thoughts I keep to myself. Things I feel that are too weird or I'm in my denial about...|||I feel like I half relate to this thread and half don't.   I relate in having a big problem stating my true feeling to people I don't trust or know that well, especially if I think they'll dislike...|||Losing my mom during my early teens is probably mine. It was pretty sudden and it left me in a bit of shock for a long time (I ran on autopilot for a couple of months).

I'd expect by then he trusts you and is very comfortable around you.  The...|||I think confronting her about it was the right thing. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not good at forgetting things and pretending a situation's normal. Plus I just hate the atmosphere and I wouldn't...|||It sounds like you were just defending your mother. I don't know the reasons why they'd think it would be okay to disrespect your mother in front of you for so long (unless they didn't think it hurt...|||It depends on your motivations and what you said.

Your big heart and gentle free spirit lead you to far-flung and exotic locales. Facing adversity at times, you stand strong and brave and persevere. ...|||Elraine from Double Arts is the most relatable ISFJ that I've seen in manga/anime. Kiri (other protaganist) is probably an IxFP, I think.|||Thing is I've told him that and I actually don't meet his girlfriends often, but since we live together sometimes it's entivable.  Oh yes, family drama is the worst. Both my paternal and maternal...|||Yes, that'd be a big red flag for me too. Though sometimes, friends and family will not talk about their bad sides to a potential partner. I'm guilty of it myself since my dad's a serial cheater and...|||I'm not sure about the born under a lucky or unlucky star bit. I do think certain people are born luckier due to circumstances and environments, with better opportunities to be potentially happy;...|||lol, you guys are scaring me. I've never been in love, but if Si has the tendency to have us compare our first deep love to everything else...or maybe that's all types?  I get crushes easily,...|||Letting people down, usually someone I respect or care about. It drives me up the wall.   And this...  Ugly the cat. - Imgur|||1.

Though maybe I'm confusing the lack of respect as...|||I've wrestled with this question this as well and this is pretty much the same roadblock that I stopped at. It bothers me that people can find in me something that they dislike.  lol even on the...|||I'd like to change people for the better too.
