You get stuck over difference in personal opinion on morality and end up derailing a thread because you really don't agree.
And you must let everyone know that.

You Know You're An INFJ When....

I would kill someone in self defense or possible vengeance of an immediate family member. It would depend on how near that offender was. If I was to see someone kill someone in my family or attempt to and they were standing there over my family members body I would most likely pick up the nearest object and bludgeon that person until I could no longer pick my arms up. I don't think temporary insanity is too much of a stretch in a case like that.
You wouldn't check on your family member first to see if they were still alive and hurting?
...you come to the right conclusions all the time but aren't quite sure how you got there. (and people tend to dismiss the way you got there too!)
I can relate to the idea of wanting justice. For me that defines me as an INFJ. Someone started a thread on being a Crusader and I am one for Justice.
But to me - I think I'd check on them (if able) first - you know - to see if there was some hope they were alive.
People always comment on how kind you are, and you feel like a total fraud.
And you have to practice accepting praise without being self-deprecating or changing the subject.

Yes I agree, in my head the danger was still looming though. I wouldn't go chase after that person if they were running away.

Still sorry, not sure I can post new topics, if so, I don't know how, yet. I think I MAY be able to injure someone if they were hurting a loved one, usually I just try to diffuse the situation, put myself in harms way & try to talk the offender down. Now if I walked in on someone MOLESTING my daughter, I'd at least cut their shit OFF, & if they die, so be it. Purely speculative, though. I freeze up entirely when I'm being assaulted, but I'm like a junkyard dog for my loved ones. *shrugs*
You know you are an INFJ when you have a headache but you still won't ask your friends to turn down the radio because you want them to enjoy themselves more than you care that you are in pain.
edit - This might have more to do with my own assertiveness issues than INFJness. But it seems likely other INFJs have suffered discomfort in the interest of pleasing other people.

...If someone forgets to pick up medicine from the store on their way home, you will lie & say you don't need it so they do not have to go back out... then be really sad they can't tell you really need it.
