    Infj minor obsessions

    Yeh, I think the first time I realised it wasn't what you'd call a crush, is when I had a mini obsession with my 80 year old hypnotherapist :p. I would agree that these are people you learn from and the sequence is important. But I do find it uncomfortable. I would much rather feel indifferent...

    Infj minor obsessions

    Hi there. Long time no see! Like... Years. Ha, I've come back on here because I've noticed a pattern in my life and wonderf if others can relate. Usually at times when I'm perhaps feeling a little insecure about myself... Maybe in a new job or new phase of life... Ai tend to meet someone who I...

    ISTPs slaves to impulse

    Hahaha. Yeh. It's pretty strange, I thought for a long time he was intp. Then I realise he's definitely more intested in 'how' than 'why'. But that said, his intuition is well-developed, and he likes psycho-analysing people. We've had a deep connection from the start; he often finishes my...

    ISTPs slaves to impulse

    Thanks La Sagna. This is an ongoing thing, as I've been a member of the forum for probably five years now, and it's happened several times before. However as you can see I'm in a terrible mood, and I'm not usually so snappy and impatient. Sorry all. i appreciate your feedback. It hasn't usually...

    ISTPs slaves to impulse

    Hey, long time no see. Hope everyone is well. This is just a post for anyone aware of INFJ/ISTP interactions. I'm an INFJ who is married to an ISTP. It's a weird combinationwhich, surprisingly, works for the mostpart. He doesn't worry about anything, a light hearted kind of guy who makes life...

    INFJs and psychosomatic illness

    Is it common for INFJs to internalise stresses and sadnesses? I personally have had some great examples of this in my experience. Currently my husband is working offshore for long periods. We haven't been married long, but bizarrely when we did get married and moved in together, the first time...

    Are we antisocial to others?

    Yeh, only in the sense of being shy. If someone engages with me I'm all ears. However some people think if you don't participate in small talk that's antisocial! So I guess it depends on expectations.

    innate need to care for others

    Yes... Equally for the people I know and the people I don't. It makes me feel fulfilled, so I guess that's for selfish reasons. It's why I'm training to be a nurse.

    Living Alone Stir Crazy

    Thank you, I thought I was going mad!! That's exactly it though, I feel sad. Makes sense if it's because I'm not doing what I'm good at :). It's ok, I'm starting my nursing placement tomorrow, so I should have PLENTY of interaction for the next while :). But thanks so much for your advice! Kgal...

    Living Alone Stir Crazy

    Hi guys, long time no see.... As usual. Anyway, quick on as I'm currently developing carpal tunnel from touch screen overuse. I am recently married, prior to which I lived with parents. My husband works offshore often, usually four weeks out of eight, but he was given a lot of time off around...

    Any INFJ nurses out there?

    It's been a long time since I've been on here, and a lot has changed. Last year I gave up work as a land surveyor to travel around Africa for a few months and think about my future career. I knew it would be a big change, but when I went I thought I wanted to be a Speech and Language Therapist...

    Do you think the bible teaches that belief in Jesus leads to freedom?

    Hmm.. I'd never thought of this, mainly because I've always believed in God so there is no concept in my mind for not having someone else in the driving seat. Although, having said this, is there ever such a thing as freedom in its strictest sense? Even if you don't believe God exists, do you...

    Do you think the bible teaches that belief in Jesus leads to freedom?

    I have just started Alpha course, and one of the initial presentations was about the freedom that faith in Jesus brings you. I would have thought this was an obvious precept of Christianity, but only two of us thought it was the case, and three others said that their faith had given them no...

    Are you a slow learner?!

    I'm academically above average, but when I have to learn something new, something for which there exists no previous experience that I can draw on, I am incredibly slow to take it in. I get information overload, and I cannot prioritise the important bits, or put things into order in my head...
