I envy them for that. I wish I could have been born a little earlier so I could experience all of that with clearer recollection than I do now|||Born in 1983  I feel often like I'm inbetween Generations.

The times I do, I feel like a grumpy old man telling the kids...|||X-men GI Joe Duck Tales Darkwing Duck Talespin Aladdin (the TV show) Mighty Max Gargoyles|||How the world seemed to make so much more sense and feel so much stabler back then. It's funny, I was watching the CNN documentary on the 90s that's been coming on Sundays and it seems like so much...|||After spending well over a decade playing MMOs, I've discovered I've forgotten how to really enjoy...well, any other type really.  That isn't to say that I haven't been able too, but I always find...|||My wife and I are watching Naruto again. I like it, but I greatly prefer the Japanese with English Subs. She likes watching the Dubbed so....we're watching the dubbed.|||Yes.  Not proud of it, but some slights can't be forgiven.

I don't like feeling that way, I don't like dealing with...|||Just logged back in and discover the last post I posted in was back in 2014. Yikes!  Anyway......HERR-ROW!|||I understand and agree with what you are saying about learning the values and strengths about other times. The thing is with ENTPs, I tend to have a love/hate relationship with them. I know some in...|||I'd just like to say that I can relate to this too. This problem is actually one of my bigger reasons for intensely disliking a lot of ENTPs|||Yep! I've always been the guy that will be friends with the person no one else wants to be friends with.|||A lot of it was self-acceptance. I've accepted myself and am happy with myself for who I am at my core and have begun to build around that. I've started doing some things outside of my comfort zone...|||ENFJs worked well for me and I get along with them fabulously. ExTPs and ExFPs are definitely my favorites though :)|||Yes you should.

It is true that ISFJs strongly value the opinions of our friends and loved ones as we often...|||Unfortunately another person's self-esteemis not something you can bring up by yourself. It sounds to me like she may want to consider seeing a therapist as such a mindset is not at all healthy and...|||Lets hope she doesn't duck out at the last minute again :proud:|||Good post!  Confidence is still a somewhat new thing to me. I didn't have any at all growing up and went through a very deep depression about 10 years or so ago which resulted in two...|||Type 2w1, sx/so instinctual variants :)|||Same here, which is a habit I hate that I have because what usually ends up happening is the other party senses that something is amiss and drags it out of me, which then annoys them that I didn't...|||I picked up Please Understand Me II by David Keirsey and scored as ISFJ. I've also taken several different tests and scored ISFJ all but twice, where I scored ISTJ :)|||Partially because I'm busy with other things (real life obligations, etc) and partially because I may have already said what I wanted to say|||Female: Hinata, probably because I can relate to her very well (I suspect she's an ISFJ herself).

If you're ever up in this area, let me know! :)|||I could actually handle a military relationship, because I would know that eventually she'll be home for good. In this particular case, we had no way of changing it and I didn't want to have to keep...|||Quick, knee-jerk response: Your brother is being an ass hat  More  thoughtful response: Usually it's the otherway around...ISFJ's are  usually the ones giving of themselves to the point of killing ...|||That's how it usually seems to work out. My first g/f (who I loved very much) was an ENFJ that lived all the way up in Canada. That's a bit of distance from this Florida boy :(|||Hmm..wow I think my answer is going to be somewhat different than others here xD  I'd like a woman who is strong, confident, very expressive of herself and her feelings, doesn't mind me being all...|||I scored 18, which means I fit the bill.  So do I get a T-shirt?|||When I am actually AT WORK I am dutiful and hard working...presuming that what I'm doing has any kind of value.

Otherwise...no not really.|||I could see why ISFJ females might detest that sterotype. I will say though, as a guy, I do hope to be a family man one of these days. I'd love to have a wife and a daughter I can spoil rotten >8)|||Just requoting as I simply could not have said it any better myself. Also, I'm EXACTLY the same way about my being punctual. I'm usualy 10-15 minutes early to wherever it is I need to be and it...|||Just requoting this because it's how I feel. Couldn't have said it better.|||Hrm...not to nitpick, but what kind of happiness are we talking about here? Like a gentle state of contentment? Romantically wistful? Utterly endearing?  To try and answer your question from the...|||Not at all, no.  I will say though that like Lady K I don't 100% fit the general description of being an ISFJ. For example, I *love* Ballroom Dancing! I love going out and dancing, performing for...|||Believe it or not I'm usually the one doing the pursuing, though I will say it's probably VERY different from most types. Usually when I'm interested in a woman I show a very noticeable interest in...|||This should be an interesting thread :cool:|||I would appeal to his sense of duty and his commitment and desire to be with his family. Assuming that his boss is really an ISFJ, then that will stick with him.|||I concur, you guys are truly a great match for us SJ's.

I always thought we were a fairly simple bunch to understand.  As for me, I only know a few people who sound like ENFP's and they're cool people.
