'Not sure if I should be happy about having something to post here, but here goes:  Actual thing I said:    Breakdown, for those interested: I'm in a group where new people are common, especially...|||Pseudonymity - my 2 cents - I prefer befriending women for the very reason you mentioned. I have more female friends than I have male friends, and the ease at connecting with them is something else. ...|||It also works in the reverse - in my case, if I find that someone I initially clicked with kept attacking things I have a very strong stance on, I've ended friendships without a second thought. It's...|||Jumped in to highlight the important part :P  Nothing hits home harder than realizing, oh my God, he/she really does care.|||Voting limited life as well - existence for the sake of existing isn't living. What defines something is its end - life without death isn't life. :)|||Kinda controversial - right and wrong are a matter of perspective, yet there is at least a bit of truth in every statement. At least, that's my view :)|||Touché.|||Moogles - too true, every word. Kinda apt that you chose a moogle :)|||You just summed up probably the most common issue INFJs have with being around people :D|||Hm, interesting, that part about your ENTJ brother brought to mind a recent friendship I just formed with an ENTJ. It was surprising how easily he took my advice, almost like I was an embodiment of...|||Through a conversation with an ENFP I had before, and a comment that struck me somewhere on the internet - our inner life is what the ENFP's outer life is like. Essentially, from what I've read,...|||1) How would you react to someone saying you're an odd/weird person?  Shrug and smile. If I like them, I'll show them more weirdness, if I don't, I move on.  2) How would you react if a guy/girl...|||I'm with ideaL here: my approach is that ultimately, you answer to yourself. After all the expectations, the appreciation, the one person you'd have to reckon with is yourself. I then end up asking...|||OMG THIS, SO MUCH. THANK YOU!  Also, yes to songs. Songs on 50+ repeat, same day, to the point that you know the lyrics by heart, intonation, everything..... O_O  Probably defining your emotions...|||This isn't really an answer, more of a thought that came to mind when I read your post: I read somewhere in this forum that there's no such thing as a right person, wrong time, just wrong people,...|||I'd rephrase Martyrs then to Victimizers, or even Whiners, i.e. people who play the Woe is me card.     aurelief - you might like this one then - who the hell says: I'm <insert compliment...|||nessawildcard, hm, I do see the similarities. I'm with Lostie823 in wondering whether or not this is just a correlation, or if it could be indicative of something a bit deeper.|||Or you could make a new thread so that InTheRockies can have a piece too? :D|||I'm echoing aurelief and windblownair here. Look for a place that not many people know about, that has a nice view, and can be quite quiet. Preferably close to water, or high up with a view of water...|||Ditto to all, though what aurelief said about being unexpectedly popular is surprisingly true, haha. I think the unexpected bit is from personal view, as in, in my case, I don't think I'd be popular,...|||Getting it back on the tracks then :P  I'm with Deejaz - I think I'm all 3, depending on who I'm with, or what I feel like showcasing at the moment.   For example, with certain friends who I...|||Echoing everyone here, especially what Plutonicmind said about un-attaching.   I tend to know very quickly if I'm going to like people or not, based on the situation I find myself in. There are...|||Hiya Pantali,  I'd be down for this too :)|||RubiksCubix  I tend to do this with one-on-one interactions more than public speeches, but I often leave conversations with the other person feeling charged.   More power to you bro. :)|||Jumping in here again! (I follow you around sometimes now because of that post you made in the ENFP forums :3 )  What you just described is pretty much Ni, the way I see it. That's kind of exactly...|||Ditto to this.|||^ This. Beneath the velvet gloves is an iron fist. I'm nice because I want to be, not because I'm bound to be.|||Hmmm... From the outside in... So would a more accurate picture be - you see the possibilities with Ne, then you judge based on how you feel about them with Fi, lay them out on a framework with Te,...|||Let me see if I can help out then.   The way I see it, Ni works by grabbing a ton of data points via Se. This data is then analyzed via Ti then presented alongside any information present in the Fe...|||Here's where it gets fun - I've learned to phrase my thoughts differently depending on the audience, with a leaning towards saying probably, maybe, or most likely. It's only when my thought...|||Going on a tangent here - what about people you feel you were DESTINED to meet?|||Would you believe I just figured this out less than an hour ago, thanks to a friend?   The source of the problem seems to be the shadow Fi, which can be understood as the sense of self. I theorized...|||For me, I can see how I use all 4.   The way I explain how I work is this: Se (my 4th) picks up information unconsciously from the surroundings - 4th function for me is unconscious. This is then...|||Gotta post again, this is too accurate to pass up, and eye-opening.   Definite yes to playing the part - I can go from uncaring just woke up look to dressed to kill and feeling like it in a...|||Teacher  It's happened to me before, but very rarely is it a few days later. For me it tends to be so far in the future that I forget, until it happens and I get a very eerie sense of deja vu.|||Gonna jump in here again. From my understanding of Ne - there is NO end to the alphabet, only infinite possibility.   Also, from your previous post regarding Socionics - I don't know much about it,...|||Hi Dubbs,   Thank you for posting. This seems quite like a tricky situation.   Have you met her personally?  Also, it seems you're stressing about this (and rightfully so), but have you tried...|||Ksara Hmmm... On such a shallow level, forgive me for saying so, but there isn't much to go by.   Your tendencies do seem to point towards INTJ in this case, with Ni Te Fi Se, but I might be wrong....|||Probably closest to Antipode here. Recently I've paid more attention to how I look, but that's because there's a reason (but we always have reasons, don't we?)   Otherwise? As long as I pass the...|||I think I'm closest to how 11thNight describes it.   It'll depend entirely on the situation - if it's your regular, run-of-the-mill, everyday scenario, I'm pretty content and flat.   BUT when...|||And that, is exactly why I agree with Cmart.   Tests are nice and all, but it's an attempt to statistically capture something that by its very essence, cannot be captured by statistics. A...|||Ksara  What functions are you aware that you're using? From the sounds of it you seem a lot like an INFJ maybe, because the way you describe stuff is pretty similar to how I would.|||I'm noticing that to be true with quite a bunch of different personality types, actually. This is very eye-opening to me. (I don't know any INTPs personally.) Wanna be friends? :D|||I can't resist it anymore. This very post tells me you're not INFJ - there is no crossing the Rubicon, or a decision to be made - you are either INFJ or you're not. It just DAWNS on you, as I'm sure...|||Going to jump in here, but this seems more like Ni-Se. Would you be able to give us more examples?|||moonlight02   I'm going to echo everyone here and say exactly the same thing: If your relationship is negatively affecting you and you can't deal with it, let it go (no, not the Frozen reference,...|||I'd have to respectfully disagree with this. The way I see it, this is something a lover can do, and it's probably simultaneously the most infuriating and the most freeing thing in the world for both...|||Perfect seducers indeed. :cool:  Ironically I used to be so afraid of this because of how well it worked :P   Now, I use it on those that... ask for it. (And whom I'm sure can handle it). Until...|||The blasphemy!|||I'm with Liquidlucy on this one - I can be so cold and stone-faced I come across as unfeeling. All depends on situation really.'
