    Unexplained/Unintentional Popularity??

    For some reason I find your comments very amusing. I don't know if you intend them to be? Or if you really are just very blunt and cynical? Either way, you're growing on me whether you like it or not. You know, I really don't think every man wants me. Now women...that's another story. :tongue...

    Unexplained/Unintentional Popularity??

    Wow. This is making me like the whole INFJ thing. I didn't want to be an INFJ for years after I found out I was one. For some reason it was hard for me to accept, and I think what you are talking about here is partly the reason I didn't want to believe these things about myself, and also the...

    Unexplained/Unintentional Popularity??

    Oh geez. I think I am fairly "average", but late bloomer, yes. How did you know? It was a huge embarrassment when I was in high school. There was a boy on my bus would said to me once, "Roses are red, violets are black, why is your chest as flat as your back?" I wanted to hit him in the face...

    Unexplained/Unintentional Popularity??

    And by "followed" I worry that this makes me sound like I have serious mental illness and think people are following me. It's not that. Definitely not the whole, "A Beautiful Mind" thing. Anyway, maybe it's because I have a stomach flu, and am feeling like doo-doo, but I worry that UBERROGO...

    Unexplained/Unintentional Popularity??

    I actually think this very well might be the thing. The reason is that I experienced it with someone who I believe is probably an INFJ at a social event last weekend. I had never met the person, but the way he was looking at me. it was that "deployed eye-gaze" thing. I actually thought, "Whoa...

    Unexplained/Unintentional Popularity??

    Reserved doesn't mean unfriendly or uncaring. It means I hold my thoughts and feeling back most of the time, often even from people I am very close to. A person could just as easily be unreserved, unfeeling, and uncaring. Behavior and attitudes are not necessarily a reflection of each other...

    How the types flirt

    I do think there might be something to the EP personalities that helps them with the flirtation thing. Extroverts are maybe not afraid to do it and are confident enough in their extroverted abilities to put themselves out there, and the P types are less aware of every single thing the person is...

    Unexplained/Unintentional Popularity??

    I think I am very unintimidating, yes. And people sometimes misread me and take advantage. So I have been careful with manipulative personalities. It's true. I don't know if that is an INFx thing, but I do think we are ripe and ready to be manipulated. Not fooled, but thrust into situations...

    Unexplained/Unintentional Popularity??

    Good question. See, I can envision all of this, but others might not. I went to school the first time at a really large university (Michigan State). Lecture halls and all that. So yeah...back then I was able to just sit in the back or find a friend and cling to them all semester. Most of the...

    Describe your style

    Since it's winter: - Jeans. I have 2 pair. So one pair or the other pair. - A solid-colored top. Usually fleece. But if I want to "dress up" I will wear a long sleeved jersey shirt with a colorful scarf. - Wool socks - Running shoes, hiking shoes, or hiking boots (I live in western...

    How the types flirt

    I can usually tell when someone is up to no good, but I don't get into situations of feeling unsafe when I get bad vibes from someone like that. I have learned to trust myself about that and I run for the hills. Ummm...for me it's always been more that I know as soon as I meet someone if I...

    Calling All Non-INFJs: Why are you here???

    I am new around these parts, and have noticed that a lot of the regulars are actually other-than-INFJs. So, I am wondering why different types come to this site? Is it that INFJs are interesting to you, or you have a loved one who is INFJ, or you like to go to all of the various websites for...

    Do you hold grudges?

    I just had a thought, though... I hold a few grudges from when I was a child. I think back then I was more sensitive, and people can actually be less considerate of children, try to dominate them, etc. The childhood grudges are for things that seem trivial, but there must have been something...

    Do you hold grudges?

    Yes and No... To be more specific (because "yes" and "no" really tells you nothing...), I will say that it takes a LOT to really get me to the point where I am actually angry with someone. But once they have crossed that line with me, there really is no going back. I write them off, and it's...

    [INFJ] Going to a night club tomorrow - ways to cope?

    This is and old thread and I assume you went to the party, but I want to say that I have been in situation before, and I have learned to not suck it up for anyone. I don't go. I will make an appearance at the part I am comfortable with, like dinner before, and then I just tell people I don't...
