'I dislike how I always seem to manage to step on INFP's toes by saying something that I had *no idea* they could remotely perceive as hurtful.. and then they do. My mom and my sister are INFPs and...|||My friends always seem to love my gifts, so, I think I am. I usually think about what to get them waaay ahead of time, and spend an insane amount of time deciding on the gift, so that combined with...|||I'm working on this! The hard part is not feeling bad afterwards, or feeling a sense of obligation or that I didn't do my duty. I'm always left feeling that I should have done more even though I feel...|||First of all, I apologize for my delayed response! I thought I was still subscribed to receive email notifications from Personality Cafe, but apparently not, and I only just logged back in today.. ...|||I just realized my MIL is an ENTP, which explains a lot. I feel like we have little in common and I don't know what to talk about around her. She intimidates me and I tend to just clam up when she's...|||All the E types in my experience. Lol|||Welcome! :) This is a cool place to learn more about your type.|||Yes, I can entirely relate. I get super attached to my friends too, and I feel this need for them to be equally attached. When I don't feel like they are, insecurities pop up.|||Well, until now I thought I was a 1w9. Reading this, I realize my talk style is by far predominately a 2. So now I'm thinking I'm a 2w1..|||Awww, I feel this way a lot too. Like I'm the most thoughtful person I know, and it's never reciprocated to the same extent :P  Sorry you had a bad day. I hope today has been better. *hug*|||You know you're a J when you plan out literally every detail of your day the night before. One of the easiest ways to frustrate you is to spring last-minute plans on you.|||1. I'm happy that I worked out even though I reaaally didn't feel like it 2. I'm thankful that there's only 2 weeks until summer break :D just gotta survive finals... 3. I'm happy because my friend...|||Welcome! Yes, the ISFJ forum tends to be a little quiet. My hunch is that a lot of us lurk.. ;)|||Yes, I have a few letters that have negative emotions because they remind me of dissolved friendships, but at the same time I can't bear to throw them out!|||You know you're an ISFJ when your INTJ brother drives you up the wall by saying you said something which you know you did not say. You press the subject because you do not remember saying it,...|||SO TRUE! And then once you've given them the gift, you worry about whether or not they really like it.|||All of these. Wow. Lol I thought I was the only one who kept every handwritten letter/card/note of any kind!|||If I was forced into it then I'd go willingly -ENFJ friend|||ISTP because you used as few words as possible.|||I'm an ISFJ and I'm a Christian. I think this question has more to do with how someone is raised than their personality type, though.|||I'm not an ENFJ but I've noticed this about my ENFJ friend. He can't be single. I feel like it's because he can't put up with the loneliness.|||Huh, never thought about it this way but this is definitely true of my ISTP brother. Him and I were never really close until we shared a hobby (swing dancing), and I've noticed that he only makes...|||My ISFJ brother is eerily similar to me. I think he might be a different enneagram type though.|||ESFJ because you noticed the use of fuzzy words.|||Yep! I have a penpal. We don't write as frequently anymore since we started college, but we're still in touch, after about 8 years!|||This, exactly.|||I'm not married yet, but I'm a wanna-be-homemaker!|||I'm not 100% sure he's ISFJ because I only know him as a lab partner, but he seems a lot like me from what I do know. He uses the word feel a lot rather than think even in cases where think would...|||Alright, guess that's just me then haha. I'm hoping time will help me become better at being comfortable with attention.     Okay, this was my other guess as to what you meant :) I've actually...|||(ISFJ here) This made me laugh because it is SO like my ISTP brother!|||Hello! :happy:|||Personally, I find INTJ's thoughts and ideas to be quite fascinating when they choose to share them and are willing to continue communicating until I get it.|||[/I][/I]By strong, I meant well-developed. Is it correct to speak in those terms? For instance, would it be right to say I'm an ISFJ with a well-developed T?|||Do you become the center of attention because you rarely speak, so when you do, everyone listens? Because I've noticed this to be true for me. And it then reinforces my non-speaking behavior because...|||ISTJ (female, my very best friend) ENFJ (male, best friend) ISTP (brother by birth, best friend by choice) ESFJ (ex best friend...he had a crush on me which ended our friendship because I didn't...|||I think it's going to vary a lot from individual to individual, but I know if someone genuinely wanted my thoughts on something - provided it's something I *have* thought about before - I will...|||It really depends on the mood I'm in.   ISTP/ISTJ - cold logical advice INTJ - deep, thoughtful insight. random but interesting conversation. ENFJ - when I need to feel loved ESFP -...|||I wish people would not treat me as invisible just because I am quiet. I know it's easy to forget about me because I only ever listen, but I do have opinions and thoughts - I just need to be asked...|||My guess is INFJ, with a strongly developed T.|||I'm jealous of how ESFJ's can involve ANYONE in a conversation, super easily. You guys are great at making people feel noticed and valuable, even if they're complete strangers. I wish I could force...|||I think it is an introvert thing to not want to talk, but still want company. My very best friend is an ISTJ, and talking about how similar we are with being perfectly ok with quiet led to us being...|||Dear ISTP brother,  Thanks for being so laid-back that you instantly make me feel guilty whenever I get irritated with you (which is rare). I do wonder though, how come you get along so easily with...|||When you take the longer route walking somewhere to avoid having to talk to people you know :P|||Aww, this is why you're so awesome. :D My ENFJ best friend is the first person I'd met who I felt cared about the friendship as much as I did.|||Hahaha good one!|||I haven't read much about the cognitive functions...guess I should so things will make more sense :)|||ENFP sounds to me like it could be right.|||I love learning about it too. It's all so fascinating to me. I remember when I first learned about introverts vs extroverts - it really helped me accept myself and my extreme introversion to realize...|||See, this is how I would like to be. Because I'm probably missing out on amazing friendships by not going more out of my way to put more work into them solely because I don't know if we'll remain...|||For me, it was process of elimination, letter by letter. I'm very introverted, so that one was easy. S vs N was a little more difficult, but I was still pretty sure about S. I'm also strongly J. The...'
