I feel most satisfied when I have picked a...|||I would think INFPs are more prone to feeling misunderstood, their Fi is abstract which makes it hard to express their true feelings, and they only have Ne which is probably the least conclusive...|||Yeah I'm just gonna conclude that even OBSERVING something (supposedly passive behavior) is still a subjective action because we are subconsciously drawn to looking and noticing certain things...|||I thought it was more that there are INFJs that are afraid to express who they are (withdrawn) and there are INFJs who are not/less afraid to express who they are in the real world.

How did you become BFFs?  My BFFs:  ENFP BFF: She exudes warmth and passion!
